Aaron Rodgers Claims Shailene Woodley Wanted Another Man After Accepting His Proposal

/by

NFL star Aaron Rodgers says actress Shailene Woodley told him she wanted to be with another man just days after accepting his marriage proposal.

Rodgers made the claim in an appearance on Cam Heyward’s Not Just Football podcast on Thursday, September 10, where he was discussing his failed engagement to the actress.

Rodgers said that Woodley accepted his proposal but later told him she wanted to be with another man before they got married.

I dated Shailene, I asked, she said yes. She could have said no, she could have felt forced into making a decision. “But like a couple days after that she told me, before we got married, ‘I got to go fuck this guy,’” he said.

By March, Woodley took off her engagement ring, and later they tried to reconcile several times, Rodgers said.

He also denied the story about being responsible for Woodley’s alleged depression after the breakup.

“It’s like, I ruined her life and gave her crazy depression because I left her, but really she told me that and took the ring off by March,” Rodgers said.

The NFL star explained his decision to go public about the relationship, saying some accounts of what happened were false.

“There’s just a lot of narratives out there that are just not true and they portray things a certain way because they can get away with it,” he said.

Rodgers also took a dig at his ex-girlfriends on the podcast saying, “The height of their fame was when they were with me.”

Peller Targets 500,000 TikTok Followers For Unborn Child

/by

Popular Nigerian TikTok personality Habeeb Hamzat, better known as Peller, has revealed an unusual plan for his future child: to build the baby a social media following before the child is even born.

Peller said that once his wife becomes pregnant, he intends to immediately create a TikTok account for the unborn baby, naming it “Incoming Peller Baby.”

The content creator said his target would be to grow the account to 500,000 followers and load it with $5,000 worth of gifts before handing it over to the child after birth.

“Once I get my wife pregnant, the next day, I’ll open a new TikTok account for the baby with the name ‘Incoming Peller Baby’. I’ll take the account to 500,000 followers and send $5,000 gifts inside, so once the baby arrives, he/she will continue from where I stop,” Peller said.

The comment, which has circulated widely online, has drawn attention to the increasingly unconventional ways social media personalities are approaching family, fame and digital identity.

For Peller, however, the idea appears to go beyond simply creating an account. It is about building what could become a digital inheritance for his future child, allowing the baby to arrive into a ready-made online community rather than starting from scratch.

The plan comes shortly after Peller’s highly publicised marriage to fellow TikTok personality Jarvis. The couple, whose relationship and careers have largely unfolded in the public eye, have built substantial audiences through TikTok content and livestreams.

Peller has also previously spoken about the financial realities of building a career on social media, including how Jarvis supported him financially at a period when his own TikTok earnings were relatively low.

His latest revelation has therefore added another dimension to his approach to the platform: not only using TikTok to build his own career, but potentially laying the groundwork for the next generation.

While some may see the idea as a clever way of creating a digital legacy, others may question the idea of establishing a public identity for a child before the child is born.

The proposal also raises familiar questions about children growing up in an era where their digital footprints can be created by parents long before they are old enough to make decisions about their own online presence.

For now, though, there is no “Incoming Peller Baby” account to follow. The account, like the baby it is intended for, remains a plan for the future.

But if Peller gets his way, his future child may not have to introduce themselves to the internet; the internet may already be waiting.

Stella Damasus Reveals Three Qualities She Wants In Her Daughter’s Future Husband

Nollywood actress, Stella Damasus has opened up on the three qualities she would never compromise when choosing a potential partner for her daughter.Take Acting Classes In a Pulse TV interview with her daughter, Stella declared that any man who wants to date her daughter must truly respect her and be financially stable to support himself and her.

The actress also said that discipline is needed because love for God alone is not enough to keep a relationship without self-control.

“One: he must respect you, fully. He needs to be obsessed with you. Yes, very much so. Secondly, he needs to have enough and more than enough to take care of himself and you. Three: he must be disciplined. “Very disciplined,” she said.

Stella added that while most people would want a partner who loves and fears God, she believes discipline of mind and body is equally important.

“Those qualities would help ensure that her daughter has a responsible and stable partner,” said the mother of two.

“It’s easy to say, ‘I want him to love God, I want him to fear God. I want him to have all that, but without self-discipline, without discipline of mind, body, everything, everything will scatter. “So those three things, I’m big on those three things,” she said.

The actress also mentioned that physical appearance is important to her and her daughter’s potential suitor must be good-looking.

Her comments also shed light on the qualities she seeks in a man looking to build a relationship with her daughter, particularly respect, financial stability, and discipline.

Afrobeats singer Adekunle Gold has revealed that genotype compatibility played a major role in his decision to marry fellow artiste Simi.

Adekunle Gold said his priority was to have healthy children, adding that he placed that consideration above romantic feelings when deciding whether to proceed with the relationship.

Cheating Once Should Be Forgiven If There Is Genuine Remorse

/by

The debate over whether infidelity should automatically end a relationship has taken another turn, following an argument that a partner who cheats once should be allowed to make amends if genuine remorse and behavioural change are evident.

The view challenges the popular belief that cheating should always be treated as an unforgivable betrayal, suggesting instead that relationships should be judged by the circumstances and choices of the people involved.

“If someone cheats once, they should be forgiven if they are remorseful and show signs of change,” the person argued.

The statement also questioned the tendency to judge couples whose relationships may operate outside conventional expectations.

“Well, it’s not right to judge a relationship whereby the partners involved are cheating because it might be something that gives them happiness, and a decision between them,” the person added.

The comments have reignited an age-old conversation about fidelity, forgiveness and the boundaries couples are willing to establish within their relationships.

For many people, cheating represents a fundamental breach of trust. The pain is often not limited to the sexual or emotional act itself, but extends to the secrecy, lies and sense of betrayal that may accompany it.

Yet forgiveness does not necessarily mean pretending that nothing happened.

Relationship experts and people who have experienced infidelity have pointed to the importance of genuine accountability when couples decide to move forward. A remorseful partner must take responsibility for the hurt caused rather than simply regret being caught. Rebuilding trust can also require transparency, patience and consistent behavioural change over time.

This distinction is important because saying sorry and actually changing are not necessarily the same thing.

For the person who has been betrayed, forgiveness may also be a personal decision rather than an obligation. One can forgive a partner without necessarily choosing to remain in the relationship.

The second part of the argument, that outsiders should not automatically judge couples who knowingly accept infidelity, introduces another complicated question.

Every relationship has its own boundaries. What one couple considers a betrayal may be something another couple has openly negotiated. The crucial difference is whether both partners genuinely understand and consent to the arrangement.

Where cheating is hidden, however, the issue becomes more complicated because one partner may be deciding without the other’s knowledge or consent.

Ultimately, the debate may be less about whether cheating should always be forgiven and more about whether people can acknowledge wrongdoing, take responsibility and genuinely change.

For some couples, infidelity may mark the end of a relationship. For others, it may become a painful chapter they eventually work through.

‘She Begged Me Not To Tell Her Mother’ – Nimmy Ferrari’s Father Reveals House Secret

/by

The father of late Nollywood actress, Nimmy Ferrari has reacted to allegations leveled by her mother on the burial of the actress and ownership of her newly completed house.

Nimmy’s mother is reported to have accused her late daughter’s father of trying to get her remains out of the property so that the family could take over and sell the house, it is claimed.

In reply to the allegations, Nimmy’s father denied any intention of harming his daughter saying he could not kill his own child.

He said it was Nimmy who told him that she was already in a hospital for fibroid surgery.

He said: “When I got to know that she went to hospital for the procedure, I asked why she didn’t tell me earlier.

He also said he got worried when he found out Nimmy had already paid for some medical examinations and the proposed surgery would cost about ₦3.6 million.

The actress’ father said he told her to go see another doctor in Abeokuta whom he knew and who, according to him, could provide an alternative treatment.

“She called me about the house and said she wanted to build her own house. I told the elders in the family, and they told us to give her a portion of our family land.

“She begged me not to tell her mother when I was building the house for her. That the first land she ever bought was through her mom. Her mother sold the land later.”

Bella Shmurda Recalls Tough Beginnings, Admits Stealing Bicycle For Music

/by

Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda has opened up about one of the painful chapters of his journey to musical success, recalling how he once stole a neighbour’s son’s bicycle and sold it to raise money for a studio session.

The singer, whose real name is Abiola Ahmed Akinbiyi, made the revelation during an interview on Echo Room TV, where he reflected on his struggles before fame.

According to Bella, the incident happened while he was living in Okoko, Lagos, at a time when he was determined to pursue music but struggled to raise money for recording sessions.

He said he took the boy’s bicycle at night, hid it and later sold it at Alaba Market for N7,000.

“When we lived in Okoko, I once stole a boy’s bicycle and sold it at Alaba for N7,000 to pay for studio sessions,” he said.

Bella admitted that the incident remained painful for him, even after his career took off.

However, he said he eventually found the boy and bought him a new bicycle, making an effort to make amends for what he had done.

The resurfaced account has renewed interest in the difficult beginnings of the singer, whose rise from the streets of Lagos to becoming one of Nigeria’s prominent street-pop acts has often been reflected in his music and interviews.

Bella rose to prominence in 2019 after his song Vision 2020 attracted the attention of rapper Olamide, who featured on its remix. The collaboration helped propel him into the national spotlight, followed by songs including Cash App and his debut EP, High Tension.

His bicycle story, however, offers a less glamorous picture of the journey behind the success.

For a young artiste trying to keep recording despite financial difficulties, N7,000 represented an opportunity to pay for studio time. But the decision came at the expense of another child’s property, something Bella now describes with regret.

The singer has also previously spoken about the realities of growing up in Okoko and his determination to eventually return to his community as someone who could make a difference. In an earlier interview, he said he wanted his success to benefit the people and environment he came from.

Today, the story stands as an uncomfortable reminder that behind some success stories are choices made under difficult circumstances, choices that may later be viewed differently from a position of success.

For Bella Shmurda, replacing the bicycle may not erase what happened, but it represents an attempt to make peace with a chapter of his past.

T-Pain Files Lawsuit Against Akon’s Label Over $489,000 Royalty Dispute

/by

American singer and rapper T-Pain has taken Akon’s Konvict Entertainment back to court, alleging that the record label still owes him $489,047 in royalties from his music.

T-Pain, whose real name is Faheem Rashad Najm, filed the new lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia on September 4, accusing Konvict Entertainment of breaching both his 2005 recording agreement and a settlement reached between the parties in 2025.

The latest dispute centres on more than $1.3 million in royalties that Konvict Entertainment allegedly received from a distributor in March 2026 for sales of T-Pain’s music generated during the second half of 2025.

According to the lawsuit, the singer’s recording agreement entitles him to 75 per cent of the net royalties Konvict receives from distributors for his recordings.

T-Pain alleges that Konvict received $1,304,127 from the distributor but that part of the money was transferred to BuVision, an affiliate label managed by Akon’s younger brother, Abou “Bu” Thiam.

The singer said Konvict subsequently paid him $489,047 in June but maintains that the amount represented only half of what he was entitled to receive.

He further alleges that his representatives were directed to pursue the outstanding balance from BuVision. However, according to the complaint, attempts to recover the money were unsuccessful.

The latest legal battle revives a dispute that has stretched for years.

In 2018, T-Pain sued Konvict Entertainment over alleged unpaid money connected to his fifth studio album, Oblivion. He sought at least $400,000, alongside an accounting of royalties allegedly owed under his recording agreement.

The dispute continued through years of mediation before the parties settled in 2025. Under the agreement, Konvict agreed to pay T-Pain $114,000, covering royalties collected through the end of 2024, while denying liability.

T-Pain now argues that the royalties at the centre of the latest case relate to music sales from the latter half of 2025 and are therefore separate from the previous settlement.

He is seeking the remaining $489,047.76, as well as prejudgment interest and legal fees, according to reports on the filing.

The singer also told the court that he received separate royalty payments directly from the distributor for Freaknik: The Musical.

The new lawsuit does not name Akon personally as a defendant. Konvict Entertainment is the sole defendant, and neither the label nor T-Pain’s lawyers had responded to requests for comment at the time of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s report.

The case highlights the long-running complexities surrounding recording contracts, royalty accounting and the financial rights of artistes whose music continues generating revenue years after its release.

For T-Pain, the latest filing marks the second time he has taken his former label to court over payments he says are due under their long-standing recording relationship.
