Following the success of his breakthrough track Awolowo, Fido’s new single has captured the hearts of fans, becoming one of the most used songs by Nigerian content creators on social media.
The song’s energetic beats and uplifting lyrics make it a perfect anthem to ring in the new year, solidifying Fido’s rising status in the Afrobeat scene.
Joy Is Coming resonates deeply with Nigerians, offering a message of hope amid challenging times.

Critics and fans alike praise Fido’s ability to mix gospel-like inspiration with party-ready vibes, making Joy Is Coming a crossover hit. Born Awosika Olayemi Joseph, the Ogun State artist continues to build a name for himself, competing with Afrobeat giants like Kizz Daniel and Skiibii.

Jessica Alba Shuts Down Divorce Rumors With Family Day Out
Jessica Alba dismissed swirling divorce rumors by sharing heartwarming photos from a family outing at Universal Studios Hollywood. The actress, along with her husband, Cash Warren, and their three kids, celebrated their youngest son Hayes’ seventh birthday with friends. “The best day at #UniversalStudios celebrating our 7-year-old, Hayes!” Jessica captioned the January 3 post, radiating joy amid speculation about her marriage.
The rumors stem from recent sightings of Jessica without her wedding ring and a reflective New Year’s Eve Instagram post. The post included family photos sans Cash and a quote from poet Mary Oliver, leading fans to wonder about marital tension. Despite this, Jessica’s earlier tributes to Cash for Father’s Day and their 16th wedding anniversary portray a strong bond.
Jessica’s celebration of family moments reflects her gratitude and optimism for the year ahead. While neither she nor Cash has addressed the speculation, their public appearances and shared memories seem to counter the narrative of discord, affirming their commitment to family life.
Cubana Chief Priest and Burna Boy Clash in Public Feud
Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest and Afrobeat star Burna Boy are engaged in a heated exchange on social media, igniting curiosity among fans. The feud began when Burna Boy threw shade at Cubana, calling him a “low-budget Rick Ross.” The singer further accused the socialite of having questionable ties, referencing an associate allegedly arrested in the U.S.
Cubana retaliated with claims that Burna owes his Grammy success to Diddy’s influence and mocked the artist’s recent PTSD admission. He shared a video of Burna performing as a backup act at his birthday in 2018, dismissing Burna as a “small boy” in the industry. Cubana also accused Burna of living beyond his means by accumulating debts for luxury cars and jewelry.
Burna Boy fired back, rejecting Cubana’s claims as baseless. He emphasized his financial independence and dismissed the accusations as projections of insecurity. As the feud unfolds, fans are left speculating on the deeper issues fueling this war of words between two prominent figures in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
British Pop Star, Lily Allen Investigates Actor Husband, David Harbour’s Infidelity via Raya App
Lily Allen, 39, became an amateur detective after suspecting her husband, actor David Harbour, 49, of infidelity. The pop star joined the exclusive celebrity dating app Raya and discovered Harbour had created a secret profile. According to a source, Allen, who met Harbour on Raya in 2019, pretended to be “looking for women” to cross-check Harbour’s activity with women he followed on Instagram. Her suspicions were confirmed when she found his profile, active for at least a month, causing her significant emotional distress.
The couple had married in Las Vegas in 2020 after a whirlwind romance but are now reportedly separated. Allen had believed since autumn that Harbour was seeing other women, particularly after learning he had been living in Atlanta for a year due to his filming commitments for Stranger Things. Harbour’s dating profile on Raya included the message “Visiting New York from Atlanta,” while Allen was left devastated by the realization that her husband had been exploring other relationships.
In addition to her findings on Raya, Allen’s concerns were further fueled when Harbour was spotted in India with another woman, fueling speculation about his romantic life. Allen, who was holidaying in Kenya with her children at the time, has yet to publicly comment on their separation, but a friend confirmed the couple’s split last month. Despite the shocking revelations, Allen has remained quiet, continuing to process the difficult situation.
