Jason Derulo, the American singer, says he earns more from his car washing business than music.

Derulo, who owns a car wash business called Rocket CarWash, shared in an interview that the venture has become more profitable than his music career.

He said he did not expect the business to be so successful, especially since he has never advertised it.

He added that Rocket CarWash is a unique glass-walled facility where customers can watch the car washing process as if it were a show.

“It’s true that I make more money from my car washing business than my music. It’s pretty crazy. It’s something that I didn’t expect at all. I got into it, I thought that it would be good but I didn’t think that was going to be a life-changing event,” he said.

“You know what’s crazy? I have never even advertised my car washing business. It’s pretty amazing. It’s a super car wash. It’s not like the ones you’re probably used to. It’s all glass so when your car is being washed, everybody can see the action. It’s like a show.”

Derulo is best known for hits like ‘Whatcha Say’, ‘Talk Dirty’, and ‘Savage Love’.

Seaking, TikToker charged with treason for insulting Tinubu, gets bail

A magistrate’s court in Ogba, Lagos has granted N500,000 bail to the TikToker Seaking with two sureties in like amount.

The bail comes after Seaking, born Olumide Ogunsanwo, was arrested on Saturday.

Seaking recently shared a video on social media wherein he appeared to have insulted President Bola Tinubu, Babajide-Sanwo-Olu, Lagos governor; and Kayode Egbetokun, the inspector general of police.

During sitting on Monday, the court ruled that one of the sureties must be a family member, and both must reside in Lagos and be gainfully employed.

Inibehe Effiong, SeaKing’s lawyer, had revealed that the police initially denied him access to the detainee at the state police command in Ikeja.

The lawyer said he, a colleague, and Seaking’s wife — who brought their six-month-old baby — were barred from seeing SeaKing.

He said while waiting to meet with the police commissioner, Seaking was “discreetly transferred to the Ogba magistrate’s court for remand proceedings”.

Effiong said his legal team intercepted the move and opposed the police’s application to remand the TikToker for 30 days, citing insufficient grounds for such detention.

He said the TikToker was charged with treason, cyberstalking, and conduct likely to provoke a breach of peace.

“Thankfully, we intercepted the information and proceeded immediately to the court premises where we met Seaking with the police officers,” he wrote on X.

“To our consternation, the Nigeria Police filed a remand application and annexed a charge to it wherein they’re accusing him of treason, cyberstalking, conduct likely to cause breach of peace and provoking breach of peace.

“They are claiming that he called on Nigerian Youths to “wage war” against the police. We opposed the application for remand on multiple grounds, while urging the court to refuse the application to remand him for 30 days pending DPP advice.

“We applied that he should be admitted to bail in line with the provisions of Section 264 (5) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Lagos State. The court considered arguments from both sides and upheld our position, and held that the police failed to show probable cause why he should be remanded for 30 days.

“The Learned Magistrate accordingly admitted Seaking to bail on liberal terms; specifically in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum, one of the sureties should be his family member and the sureties should be resident in Lagos State and be gainfully employed.”

The case has been adjourned to January 16, 2025, for advice from the directorate of public prosecutions (DPP).

Court orders IGP to arraign or release Speed Darlington within 48 hours

Published

By

A federal high court in Abuja, on Monday, ordered Kayode Egbetokun, the inspector-general of police, to release the detained singer Speed Darlington within 48 hours.

According to NAN, Musa Liman, the judge, gave the order in a ruling on an ex-parte motion moved by David Ihuoma, the singer’s counsel.

Liman ordered the police chief to charge Darlington to court or release him on bail unconditionally within 48 hours.

The judge adjourned the matter until January 6 for the hearing of the substantive case.

The 39-year-old rapper was arrested on November 27 while performing at a show in Owerri, Imo state.

Deji Adeyanju, a human rights lawyer, had alleged that Burna Boy, the Afrofusion star, was responsible for the rapper’s arrest.

Darlington had taunted Burna Boy over his affiliation with the embattled US rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ who is facing multiple charges for sexual exploitation and human trafficking.

He asked Burna Boy to explain how he won the Grammy award for his album ‘Twice As Tall’ — a project executive produced by Diddy. He claimed there was a sexual relationship between the duo.

In the ex-parte motion dated and filed on December 13 by his lawyers led by Adeyanju, Egbetokun was the sole respondent.

The lawyers sought “an order directing the applicant’s release from the detention facility of the Force Intelligence Bureau at the Force Headquarters or any other facility where he is being kept by the respondent, pending the determination of the substantive originating motion on notice”.

Stan Alieke, another legal representative of Darlington, on Monday, also revealed that the rapper had been granted bail.
