In 6 years, I spent N340 million on weed – Ice Prince

 Nigerian rapper and singer Ice Prince has opened up about his past smoking habits, revealing the huge amount of money he spent on cannabis before deciding to quit.

Speaking during a recent podcast interview, the artiste disclosed that between 2020 and 2026, he spent about ₦340 million on weed from a single dealer alone.

He added that the figure did not include purchases from other suppliers located in places such as Abuja, Jos, Ghana, and London.

According to Ice Prince, he eventually stopped smoking and drinking alcohol during a period of personal transformation, weight loss, and self-discovery.

“From 2020 to 2026, I have spent N340 million on weed from just one dealer alone, not to even mention my other dealers from Abuja, Ghana, Jos, and London. This is just one dealer, who lives close to me in Lagos,” he stated.

He explained that the decision was part of efforts to improve his lifestyle and overall wellbeing.

The rapper also revealed that he has remained celibate for a period of time, describing the phase as part of his journey toward discipline and personal growth.

Regina Daniels receives luxurious vehicle from man months after marital crisis with Ned Nwoko

 Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has reportedly received a brand-new luxury car gift, sparking widespread reactions online after the unexpected gesture.

According to reports circulating on social media, the light-skinned movie star was gifted a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon by an anonymous man from the East, allegedly a governor, who expressed admiration for her lifestyle and influence.

While presenting the car, the unidentified man was heard praising her and explaining why he decided to upgrade her previous vehicle.

“We appreciate your efforts. We checked the recent car you bought, and we found out that there was no GLE, something exceptional, so we decided to provide something unique for you. You’ve done so well so far,” he reportedly said.

The development comes shortly after Regina reportedly shared gifts and notes from a mystery admirer online.

Recall that in October last year, the actress made headlines after alleging that she was facing domestic violence in her marriage to billionaire politician Ned Nwoko, a situation that eventually led to her moving out.

The latest luxury gift has since sparked conversations across social media, with many Nigerians questioning the identity of the benefactor and the circumstances surrounding the gesture.

 Afrobeat singer Tiwa Savage has reacted to the abduction of school children and teachers in Ogbomoso, Oyo State.

The music star expressed shock over the incident, revealing that she only recently came across reports online through posts shared by singer Spyro and media personality KieKie.

“I just started seeing the kidnapping that happened in Oyo just yesterday. It was Spyro’s post that came up,” she said.

She further explained that she began reaching out to people to understand the full story because the incident was not appearing enough on her timeline or gaining the level of attention she expected on social media.

The mother of one disclosed that she later saw a post claiming the incident had already happened almost two weeks ago, leaving her even more disturbed about the situation.

“It’s not trending enough. It’s not trending as much as it should. Then I saw KieKie’s post saying the incident has taken place for almost two weeks,” she added.

Her reaction comes following reports of bandits attacking a school in Oriire community, Oyo State, where principal, students and teachers were abducted, while the one of the teachers was reportedly beheaded, with dozens of children still in captivity.

The kidnapping incident in Ogbomoso continues to generate concern as many Nigerians and public figures continue to call for urgent action to secure the release of the victims.

Bam Bam breaks down in tears over widespread national insecurity

 Actress Bam Bam has expressed deep concern over the rising levels of insecurity, health-related challenges, and recurring tragedies affecting individuals and families in Nigeria.

In a reflective public statement and video, she described a growing sense of emotional exhaustion within society, pointing to repeated cases of kidnapping, loss of lives, serious illnesses, and widespread fear as issues contributing to collective distress.

She questioned the effectiveness of current systems in addressing these challenges, especially in relation to public safety and healthcare delivery, while emphasizing the need for stronger institutional response and accountability.

In the video she shared, she was seen in tears over the repeated tragedy facing Nigerians.

Her words read …

“What’s the SOLUTION?!!! What’s the solution, people?

We’ve cried. We’ve made flyers. We’ve wailed. We’ve prayed. Yet the pain keeps coming. 💔

Kidnappings. Loss. Cancer. Grief. Fear.

It feels like we’re all just trying to survive one tragedy after another.

And honestly… where is the government in all of this?

How many more people need to go missing?

How many more families need to mourn before safety, healthcare, and human lives are treated like a priority?

Today it’s someone else’s loved one… tomorrow it could be ours.

Please check on your people. Call them. Love them loudly. Be kinder. Be softer with people. You truly never know what someone is carrying.

And cancer… cancer is a bastard.

It has taken two people I deeply care about, and I’m honestly tired of pretending we have time. We don’t always.

Please do regular health checkups.

Please listen to your body.

Please take your health seriously.

Please don’t wait till it’s too late.

We deserve better.

Better security. Better healthcare. Better leadership. Better humanity. ❤️🕊️”
