Nigerian streamer and content creator Carter Efe has publicly criticised social media personality GehGeh following reports of his recent marriage, claiming the relationship coach’s advice led to the end of his 12-year relationship.

GehGeh reportedly married his partner in a private ceremony on Saturday, with videos from the event quickly circulating across social media.

Reacting to the wedding, Carter Efe expressed disappointment, accusing GehGeh of contradicting the relationship advice he had long preached to his followers.

In an emotional video, the content creator alleged that he ended his longtime relationship after following GehGeh’s teachings, only for the influencer to secretly get married.

“GehGeh gets the mind to marry after everything he has been saying. GehGeh made me leave my relationship—a relationship of 12 years. School of GehGeh na fool. He betrayed all of us. Jesus Christ,” Carter Efe said.

Global pop sensation Shakira has opened up about her decision to feature Grammy-winning Nigerian star Burna Boy on the official 2026 FIFA World Cup anthem, “Dai Dai.”

Speaking during an interview on the Capital Evening Show with Jimmy Hill, the Colombian singer said she specifically wanted a powerful male voice to complement the track and believed Burna Boy was the ideal artiste for the collaboration.

According to Shakira, she had long admired the Afrobeats star and was determined to have him on the song.

“I have always loved Burna. I was obsessed with getting him on the track, so I called him,” she said.

The singer added that Burna Boy’s distinctive voice and energetic performance brought the perfect balance to the record.

“I couldn’t imagine anybody else on it, actually,” she added.

Since its release, “Dai Dai” has enjoyed remarkable global success, setting multiple streaming milestones. The song became the first to top Spotify’s Global Music Video Chart, while also helping Burna Boy become the first African artiste to reach No. 1 on Apple Music’s Global Top Songs chart.

The collaboration also propelled Burna Boy to new career milestones, including becoming the African artiste with the highest monthly listeners on both Spotify and YouTube Music, with more than 53 million and 600 million monthly listeners respectively.

In addition, Burna Boy made history as the first African artiste to perform at the newly introduced FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show, where he shared the stage with Shakira during the tournament’s grand finale.

Tobeszn Defends Gen Z, Says Generation Is Widely Misunderstood

Tobeszn Defends Gen Z, Says Generation Is Widely Misunderstood

/by

Content creator Tobeszn has pushed back against common stereotypes about Generation Z, arguing that many of the criticisms directed at young people today are rooted in misunderstanding rather than reality.

Speaking on the Mentality with Ebuka podcast, Tobeszn said every generation is shaped by the social and economic conditions of its time, noting that Gen Z has grown up in a world driven by technology, economic uncertainty, heightened mental health awareness and constant digital connectivity.

According to him, these experiences have naturally influenced how the generation approaches careers, relationships and everyday life.

Tobeszn explained that what many people describe as rebellion is often a willingness to question long-standing norms. He said Gen Z is more inclined to prioritise work-life balance, speak openly about mental health and leave environments they consider unhealthy.

He added that this approach is frequently mistaken for disrespect, even though it reflects changing values rather than defiance.

The content creator also addressed the way Gen Z communicates, saying their direct style is often viewed negatively by older generations, who may interpret it as rudeness. However, many young people see such communication as honesty and authenticity.

On social media, Tobeszn noted that while critics often dismiss Gen Z’s online presence as vanity, many have successfully turned digital platforms into profitable careers through content creation, technology, entrepreneurship and other creative ventures.

He acknowledged that Gen Z, like every generation before it, faces its own challenges, including navigating online pressure and pursuing success in an unpredictable economy.

However, he maintained that reducing an entire generation to stereotypes does little to foster understanding between young people and older generations.

Tobeszn concluded that the conversation should move beyond whether Gen Z is different and instead focus on understanding the factors that have shaped the generation’s unique outlook on life.

The Grammy Award-winning rapper broke her silence in a series of posts on her Instagram Story, saying she is subjected to a level of public scrutiny that many other celebrities do not experience.

‘It’s Not My Duty to Protect Actors’ Marriages’ – Producer Biodun Stephen

/by

LAGOS – Nigerian filmmaker and producer Biodun Stephen has said it is not the responsibility of movie producers or directors to protect the marriages of actors, insisting that actors and their spouses understand the demands of the profession before taking on roles.

Stephen made the remarks in a video shared on Instagram while responding to criticism over kissing scenes in Nollywood films.

Reacting to comments that filmmakers should reduce intimate scenes to help preserve actors’ marriages, the producer maintained that such decisions ultimately rest with the actors and their partners.

According to her, actors have the freedom to accept or reject roles that involve romantic scenes based on their personal convictions.

She explained that while she generally avoids excessive kissing scenes because she wants families to enjoy her movies together, she would not hesitate to include them if they are necessary to tell a compelling story.

Stephen noted that believable chemistry between actors is often essential to convincing audiences and making romantic storylines authentic.

“There’s this lady that always has a mouth for Nollywood. She said something about the kissing, Nollywood, and producers. She said producers should take things easy on having actors kiss because we’re possibly ruining their marriages.

“Kissing is not really part of my craft because I want people to watch my movies with their children, but that doesn’t mean that when an opportunity comes for it, I won’t embrace it. I will embrace it as long as the story calls for it.”

The filmmaker stressed that actors who are uncomfortable with kissing scenes are free to decline such roles, adding that many performers make their boundaries known before accepting a project.

She further argued that responsibility for managing the impact of acting on a marriage lies with the actor and their spouse, not the producer or director.

“I think that responsibility is on the actor who has chosen the profession and also on the spouse of that actor who has accepted that my spouse is an actor. They must have made their peace with it. That responsibility is not my responsibility.”

Stephen explained that her primary duty as a producer is to ensure actors are treated professionally and portrayed effectively on screen, rather than becoming involved in their personal relationships.

“My job as a producer or director is to protect you as an actor. My job is to present you properly to the audience without harming your person, but my job is not to break your home because that’s not on me. I did not put a gun to your head to work for me.”

Her comments have sparked debate on social media, with many users sharing differing opinions on the role of intimate scenes in Nollywood productions and their impact on actors’ personal lives.
