Most didn’t know how to subscribe or even that they could do so with their Gmail accounts. I pressed people’s phones to get them to subscribe. My first 1,000 subscribers were random people who didn’t know me.”

The busty actress also shared how her father’s advice continues to influence her approach to life and career. “My dad always told me that nothing lasts forever, and I think about that a lot,” she said. “You will be known for different things at different times in your life, and I want to be remembered for more than one thing. I’m still passionate about what I do, but I also want to build a family and be known for other aspects of my life.”

Published

By

Today, fans woke up to find Wizkid’s latest single ‘Dance’ to have been displayed from the top 100 after occupying the top spot.

The massive deduction has led to speculations of stream deduction and drinking from the chart which are the most common heavy penalties Apple Music applies on streaming manipulation.

‘Kese’, released 15, November 2024, has the second lead single on Wizkid’s upcoming album ‘Morayo’, has enjoyed immediate success on streaming platforms reaching NO. 1 on the Apple Music Nigeria Top 100 just hours after its release.

Its disappearance from Apple Music Nigeria Top 100, has created a massive buzz online with some considering it a penalty for streaming manipulation while others think it might be a glitch from Apple Music.

By precedence, such deductions are penalties with Apple Music taking stronger actions in cracking down on streaming manipulations.

It’s left to be seen if the song would rebound back to its previous chart-topping position as this would give credence to suspicion of a glitch or perhaps, Apple Music has dropped the hammer of the biggest act yet in their effort to curb stream farming.
