Celebrity designer Toyin Lawani has stepped into the spotlight with a striking fashion statement, positioning herself alongside global stars celebrating the Met Gala.

While Hollywood marks the iconic fashion event, Lawani is carving out her own moment. Taking to her Instagram page, the designer shared photos of herself in a dramatic chair-inspired costume, promising fans a personal take on the Met Gala experience.

“Take a seat.
Let the king of fashion take you to the Met Gala 2026 for the theme Fashion is Art”.

Last year, on Valentine’s Day, the mother of three shared photos of herself dressed in pepper from head to toe.

Two years ago, social media users made fun of Toyin over her look at AMVCA.

The celebrity designer rocked a sack bag to the award ceremony. Explaining why, she said that the devil tried, but he couldn’t stop her as she created the masterpiece in a few hours.

In 2023, during the Christmas celebration, the designer ditched the usual pyjamas for Christmas shoots and opted for a more creative and out-of-the-box outfit. The wife of Segun Wealth made a dress and a cape from 1000 pepper and 70 mops and shared the inspiration behind her outfit.

Her outfit no doubt caused a stir online as while some praised her for her creativity, others bashed her.

Reacting to the criticisms, Toyin told her haters to jump off a cliff, saying she is the King of Fashion,, while adding that fashion is pain.

Toyin’s created work got her recognition from American rapper, Cardi B. The fashion designer had shared a video of the rapper’s daughter rocking one of her outfits, hailing the young star. Toyin, who couldn’t believe her eyes, shared a video of the 5-year-old wearing a hand-painted jacket she designed as she expressed joy at finally being recognised internationally.

In a stunning twist that has sent waves across the Nigerian entertainment scene, Nollywood power couple Lateef Adedimeji and Adebimpe Oyebade have welcomed a set of male triplets—bringing an emotional close to five years of public scrutiny and private anguish.

The announcement arrived not just as joyful news, but as a powerful rebuttal to years of speculation and online trolling over the couple’s perceived childlessness—criticism that Adedimeji had previously addressed, firmly urging critics to respect their privacy.

Now, in a moment that blends vindication with overwhelming joy, the proud father took to X (formerly Twitter) via his handle @TheDimejiLateef to share the life-changing news in deeply personal terms:

’’I’ve been quiet…..not absent.
I was building, protecting, and embracing the greatest blessing of my life.
God gave me more than I prayed for: a woman who became a mother of three, and three kings to call my own.
My world, My responsibility, My legacy.
Alhamdulilah!.”

The heartfelt revelation has since ignited an outpouring of congratulations from fans and colleagues alike, marking a triumphant chapter for one of Nollywood’s most admired couples.

The former couple reunited again publicly at the April 26 premiere of “Efunroye: The Unicorn”, a historical biopic produced by Faithia, where both actors appeared on stage alongside their son, Khalid in matching outfits.

In a moment that drew applause from guests, Faithia openly acknowledged their bond despite their past while also appreciating her son and management team.

The film, which tells the story of 19th-century businesswoman and power broker Efunroye Tinubu, is scheduled for nationwide cinema release on May 1 and features actors including Odunlade Adekola and Mercy Aigbe.

Their reunion quickly went viral, with many social media users expressing admiration for the maturity displayed by the duo, who were married from 2000 until their separation in 2014.

A user, Man of Letters (#Letter_to_Jack), questioned the “ex” narrative, writing, “With everything you’re seeing in this video, you still believe he is her ‘ex’ husband?”

Another user, #linisexy88, praised their relationship dynamic, stating, “A king supporting a queen. Nollywood legends showing us that ‘Ex’ doesn’t have to mean ‘Enemy.’ Khalid looks so proud to be standing between two greats.”

#AdefolaluSunday also weighed in, urging clarity on their relationship status, “Please be bold to tell us the good news we all have been waiting to hear that you are back with your husband. This hide-seek game no good jàre. You are better with Saheed Balogun.”

Offering a different perspective, #yuquas7 compared their relationship to a fictional partnership, writing, “When ‘marriage’ transforms into a business partnership. Reminds me of Frank and Claire Underwood in House of Cards.”

Others described the moment as nostalgic and symbolic. #arike_20 wrote, “The original power couple of our childhood. Seeing them like this is so healing. It just shows that the settlement is deeper than what we see on camera.”

The reunion comes amid recent sightings of both actors together at public events, further fuelling speculation about their relationship. Saheed Balogun also featured as part of the cast of the film, reinforcing their continued professional collaboration.

Faithia Williams and Saheed Balogun’s marriage, which lasted 14 years, produced two children, including Khalid, who has recently gained attention on social media.

On his wife’s birthday a day back, Afeez, committed her to God’s hands. He called her his love and own, and told God to bless his wife with long life, divine protection and overflowing happiness.

Mide Martins, on her part, kept her birthday message short and simple. Wishing herself a happy birthday, she expressed gratitude to her Maker.

On her birthday last year, Afeez had churned out beautiful words for her. He described her as the love of his life, support system, one and only first lady, and Queen of his heart. He expressed how lucky he was to have her as a partner in life and appreciated her for always being by his side.

A day later, Afeez had also celebrated his birthday and Mide had described him as her backbone and supporter and affirmed her love for him.

In a recent interview, Afeez spoke about his 22-year marriage to Mide, revealing their pet names for each other. The comic actor revealed that their marriage isn’t the kind where the husband has to be strict, or the wife has to remain calm. He appreciated his wife and thanked her for tolerating him.

In a previous interview, Afeez addressed the 2016 separation rumours involving Mide, revealing that it was the only serious fight they had ever had in their marriage; luckily, they reconciled. Afeez admitted that he didn’t handle things well and scattered things. He noted how social media made it worse because it was something they could have resolved privately. Fortunately, they overcame it.

Recall that in 2016, Mide had publicly called out Afeez for moving out of their house and abandoning her and the kids.

Refuting the claims, in an interview, Afeez said Mide took the wrong advice from friends who wanted to cause havoc in their home.

Fela’s Wives Had Relationships with Other Men – Seun Kuti

Nigerian singer Seun Kuti has alleged that his late father, Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, did not forbid his wives from having affairs with other men.

Kuti also stated that this was one of Fela’s worst mistakes, claiming that some of the ladies eventually contracted HIV from their other lovers and passed it on to the late singer.

Speaking during a recent Instagram livestream, Kuti said, contrary to the speculations that Fela was the one who gave his women the disease, he was the victim.

He said, “Fela made many mistakes. One of the mistakes he made -one day, I saw a video of a lady online saying why are people praising Fela’s legacy despite him giving women HIV and dying of AIDS.

“I said, ‘Oh, Fela, you see yourself?’ If Fela was a traditional man, he would still be alive. I will tell you something about him that you might not have known: Fela’s women all had other men.

“Fela did not keep his women to himself. He believed that as he is free to sleep with all the women, the women are also free to meet other men. His law was that they shouldn’t bring the men to his house.

“My father doesn’t leave his house to sleep with other women outside, so it was his women who brought HIV home to him. Nobody is perfect. Everybody make mistakes. But Fela is a man that is on the side of humanity.”

Veteran Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, commented on the feud between actresses Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham, encouraging both actresses to focus on their blessings and prioritize happiness over conflicts.

Ogogo expressed a preference to avoid involvement in disputes among women, citing their complexities compared to men’s disagreements.

In recent conversation Ogogo urged the two actresses to appreciate the blessings in their lives, and concentrate on happiness rather than disputes.

 He emphasized that, he typically stays out of conflicts, among women as he believes they are more complex than disagreement between them.

The seasoned Yoruba actor observed that, men usually resolve conflicts quickly, often talking things through and moving on, whereas disputes among women can escalate and become much harder to mediate.

“They need to recognise the favour of God in their lives and embrace joy. I don’t involve myself in female disputes. When men argue, they can resolve it quickly, but with women, it often turns into a serious battle much more complicated than war making it hard for anyone to intervene,” Ogogo said.

He also highlighted that any man attempting to intervene in such quarrels may not be acting wisely. Ogogo questioned the reason behind the rift, stressing that, both actresses are already fortunate and should not expend energy on rivalry.

According to report, the reconciliation came after sustained prayers, humility, and a decision to choose peace for the sake of their child. She credited the turnaround to divine intervention and said what human effort could not fix had now been healed.

Report says, the actress expressed gratitude to Churchill for yielding to reconciliation and choosing a peaceful path, noting that obedience and patience had led to the restoration of their relationship, using the moment to encourage others facing similar challenges not to lose hope, stressing that difficult situations can still be resolved with perseverance, faith, and love.

She prayed that the renewed relationship would remain stable and built on mercy, grace, and mutual understanding, adding that their reconciliation should serve as a testimony that broken relationships can be healed.

She wrote, “We are living proof that the Word of God is eternal and unfailing.

“God is not a God who abandons what He has started. When He begins a work, He stays with it until it is completed.

“After ten long years of public battles, deep wounds, broken communication, bitterness, and pain, God stepped in. What looked ugly, impossible, and beyond repair has been touched by mercy. Peace has replaced chaos.

“This restoration is not by might, not by wisdom, not by strength—but by the Spirit of the Lord. When God moves, the human mind cannot comprehend the process. He softens hearts, silences the enemy, and rewrites stories that looked finished. Every plan of darkness has failed. Stubbornness has bowed. Pride has melted. Love has found its voice again for my child.

“I am deeply grateful to the father of my child Dr kunle for yielding to God’s word and choosing peace. Obedience to God always births restoration, even when the road has been long and painful.

“To anyone standing where I once stood, tired, wounded, misunderstood, and believing nothing good can come out of the situation.please hear this: God has not abandoned you. Your story is not over. What He has started, He will surely perfect. Keep praying. Keep choosing love. Keep trusting God even when it hurts.

“May this restored relationship remain built on the solid rock of God’s mercy, protection, grace, and mighty hand. May it stand as a living testimony that God never fails, never forgets, and never walks away from His own.

“If God did it for us, He can do it for you.

“To my spiritual father, Papa, thank you for grooming a God-fearing, impact-making woman out of a Total Mess.”

Recalled that, the former couple, who shared a son, King Andre, were involved in prolonged public disputes which led to their separation.
