Wizkid and Jada Pollock, his manager, have welcomed their third child together.

The baby’s arrival was announced via a photo on Pollock’s Instagram story.

In the picture, Jada, noticeably without her baby bump, was dressed in comfortable sweatpants while holding onto a baby’s cot.

The baby’s gender, name, and date of birth, however, remain unknown.

In December, the talent manager revealed that she suffered a health scare during the first three months of her third pregnancy.

Pollock disclosed that she underwent an appendectomy. She described the period as the most terrifying experience of her life.

“At the beginning of the year, I faced the biggest fright of my life,” she wrote.

“Three months into my pregnancy, I was rushed to the hospital to have my appendix removed. Against all odds, both my baby and I made it through safely.

“Life is too short to be anything but grateful.”

Pollock, 41, and Wizkid, 34, met in 2012 when she was still managing Akon, the 51-year-old Senegalese-American singer.

The duo became friends and later lovers. They welcomed Zion Ayo-Balogun, their first child in 2017. In October 2022, Pollock announced the birth of their second child.

Segun Arinze, the ace actor, has shared his thoughts on the long-standing claims of homosexuality in the Nigerian movie industry.

Addressing the allegations in an interview with Arise TV, Arinze stressed that he does not engage in homosexual activities.

The 59-year-old movie star said those who “bend over are adults and they have a right to do whatever they want to do”.

Arinze expressed his preference for living a straightforward life, focusing on his business and being a professional.

“I do not bend over, so I cannot react to it. Well if they do bend over, they should keep bending. That is their problem. They are adults and they have a right to do whatever they want to do. It is none of my business,” he said.

“I am not going to concern myself with that. I do not like those lash backs, I like living my life straightforward, doing my business and being a professional that I am.”

Nigerian singer, Darlington Achakpo, also known as Speed Darlington, has petitioned the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau in Abuja, DIG Dasuki Galadanchi, asking him to comply with a court order on his continued detention.

In a letter addressed dated January 8, 2025, the singer’s counsel, Rosemary E. Hamza, from the Chambers of Deji Adeyanju & Partners, emphasised that the court order issued by Justice M.S. Liman on December 23, 2024, directed the police to charge Speed Darlington within 48 hours or release him unconditionally.

The letter copied to the Deputy Chief Registrar, Federal High Court in Abuja, is titled: ‘Re; Unlawful Detention Of Darlington Achakpo.’

The letter reads, “As you are no doubt aware, the Federal High Court, per Hon. Justice M.S. Liman, on the 23rd day of December 2024, directed the police authorities to charge our client to court within 48 hours or release him unconditionally.

“On January 6, 2025, the court reiterated the order and urged the police authorities to release him to the lead counsel, our own, Marshal Abubakar, who shall produce him in court for trial.

“Although our client was served with a bail term on January 6, 2025 (a copy is herein attached to this correspondence) requesting him to produce a Grade Level 16 civil servant, Marshal Abubakar, Esq and Mazi David Ihuoma, Esq were at the FIB on January 7, 2025, with a surety to fulfil the bail conditions you imposed.

“However, events and happenings on that day left much to be desired as several calls and messages sent to you by Abubakar Marshal, Esq and Deji Adeyanju, Esq were left unanswered and without response.”

“However, events and happenings on that day left much to be desired as several calls and messages sent to you by Abubakar Marshal, Esq and Deji Adeyanju, Esq were left unanswered and without response.”

The petition noted that Abubakar and Ihuoma will be coming to the FIB on January 9, 2024, with a surety to fulfil the bail conditions imposed.
