Williams Uchemba, the Nigerian actor, and Brunella Oscar, his wife, have welcomed their second child.

The actor recently took to Instagram to reveal that the baby was born on December 9.

Uchemba said he was in Nigeria attending a meeting while his wife was in labor in the United Kingdom.

The 31-year-old said despite the distance, he traveled from Enugu to London to be by his wife’s side, presenting her with a bouquet at the hospital.

The film star praised his wife, describing her as “one of the strongest women” he knows. He also shared a heartwarming clip of himself holding his baby named ‘Ethan Chidubem Uchembah’.

“I was having a meeting in Enugu and my wife called me hey baby how are you? And for the first time in our life, my life replied: ‘I am not fine’. I have never heard use those words,” he wrote.

“It seems baby wants to come today. I knew I had to find my way to London tonight.
Thankfully, there was a last flight From Enugu to Lagos.

“Landed in Lagos and started making my way to the international airport.

“My baby is here and I am 40,000 feet above sea level. All I had was Thanksgiving and praise.”

Dapper Music, the record label that played a pivotal role in launching Shallipopi’s career, has addressed the singer’s recent allegations.

On Wednesday, the singer announced his exit from the label. He also accused the music label of breaching his trust, mishandling his finances, and neglecting his growth.

In a statement on Thursday, Dapper Music emphasized their dedication to “transparency and fairness” in all their operations.

The label also denied Shallipopi’s accusations, adding that “all parties, including the artist in question, willingly agreed to a 30% management commission”.

The music firm said they do not have agreements that tie the singer’s future earnings to their business indefinitely.

Dapper explained that their contracts solely relate to recordings and opportunities worked on and provided by their team within the contract term.

The label expressed surprise at Shallipopi’s “false claims,” adding that they are currently cooperating fully with the auditors the singer has engaged.

“Dapper Music & Entertainment, we prioritise transparency and fairness in all our operations. Every contract we offer is presented with clarity, ensuring that both parties fully understand and agree to the terms. Our artists are always provided with the opportunity for legal representation,” the statement reads in part.

“All parties, including the artist in question, willingly agreed to a 30% management commission. This decision was made voluntarily and reflects the substantial investment required to launch and sustain their careers. It is important to note that earning from music in our territory is challenging due to lower royalty payouts compared to other regions, yet our investment remains substantial. We are committed to bringing new voices and talents to the world.

“We do not have any agreements with Mr. Crown Uzama that tie the artist’s future earnings to our business indefinitely. Our contracts solely relate to recordings and opportunities worked on and provided by our team within the contract term, which is common practice in the recording industry.

“Our commitment to artists is ongoing. After the success of Mr. Crown Uzama’s first album, he had the opportunity to review and renegotiate the terms with full legal representation. On October 28, 2024, we varied the terms to ensure he had the freedom to explore new opportunities. Confident in our partnership, he and his representative willingly signed a second agreement. This was a collaborative decision, not coercion.

“We have provided all parties with full accounting via our accounting system. We are surprised by Mr. Crown Uzama’s false claims, especially as we are currently cooperating fully with the auditors he has engaged. We remain actively involved in the audit process, having just held a meeting on Monday, the 9th of December 2024.

“We have received several emails from legal representatives threatening to destroy our business by utilising the court of public opinion. We are confident that we have conducted business with the highest integrity and are prepared to seek redress in a court of competent jurisdiction.”

Jamie Foxx, the US actor and musician, has opened up on the cause of his hospital admission in April last year, revealing that he had a brain bleed that led to a stroke.

In a new Netflix special, Foxx, 56, said he had a bad headache one day and requested an aspirin but before he could take it, he “blacked out for 20 days”.

At the time, his daughter Corinne said he had “experienced a medical complication”.

The Oscar-winning actor said he was later admitted to the Piedmont Hospital, where doctors revealed he suffered a brain bleed that had led to a stroke.

“It is a mystery. We still do not know exactly what happened to me,” he said.

“April 11, I was having a bad headache and I asked my boy for an aspirin. And I realised quickly that when you are in a medical emergency, your boys do not know what the f**k to do.

“Before I could get the aspirin I went out. I do not remember 20 days.”

Foxx said when he woke from the coma, he found himself in a wheelchair and unable to walk.

The singer said after the operation, doctors said he might make a full recovery “but it’s going to be the worst year of his life”.

Foxx said his family kept him out of the public eye because he was “so dizzy”. He said his daughter was concerned that people would turn him into an internet meme if they saw his condition.
