Ugoccie reveals why she can’t cope with cheating partner
Gifted songstress, Ugoccie has opened up about her views on relationships, making it clear that she has zero tolerance for infidelity.
When asked whether she could stay with a cheating but wealthy partner, Ugoccie’s response was direct and unwavering.
In an interview with Potpourri she said:”No, I cannot. No one likes to be cheated on, and I live by the rule that says, ‘Do unto others what you wish them to do to you.’ I believe in karma. That thing you don’t want your partner to do to you, don’t do it to them. Simple.”
Aside from her personal stance on relationships, Ugoccie also discussed her musical journey and her collaborations with some of Nigeria’s top female artists, including Yemi Alade and Niniola. She noted that there is no significant difference in working with male or female artistes, as the focus is always on creating good music.
“Personally, I’d say there’s no difference because at the end of the day, the common goal is to make music and enjoy the art while at it,” she explained. “The experience is all that matters, and the fact that these beautiful people thought it was amazing to share their light with me and be a part of my creative life is what makes it special.”
The “Man On Fire” crooner also touched on her identity as the ‘Voice of the East,’ a title she embraces with pride. She sees it as a way to give her music a strong identity, connecting her with her southeastern Nigerian roots while redefining indigenous music.
“Being called the ‘Voice of the East’ does not limit the scope of my music at all. Instead, it gives me a solid identity. I want to be someone my people can identify with and say, ‘She stood up for the women from that region’ and ‘she redefined indigenous music coming from the southeastern part of Nigeria”.

TikTok star Peller speaks on relationship with Jadorita
Hamzat Habeeb Adelaja, the TikTok star better known as Peller, has opened up about his relationship with fellow content creator Amadou ‘Jadorita‘ Elizabeth.
The skit makers have been sparking dating rumours since they started collaborating on content creation.
Peller and Jadorita recently shared intimate moments from their romantic date, further fueling speculation about their relationship.
In the latest edition of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, Peller revealed that Jadorita initiated their date.
When asked about the nature of their relationship, the 19-year-old said: “We’re both chasing after each other”. He also dismissed negative comments, attributing them to jealousy.
“How do you know that I am chasing her and she is not chasing me too,” the Ikorodu-born streamer said.
“She took me on a date and I was not the one who did. I bought an original rose, not a fake one. People who said it was fake are only jealous of my baby.”
When pressed about their relationship status, Peller maintained, “It’s none of your business”.
The streamer also shared his thoughts on his online persona.
“I do not care if people do not find me funny. I want to make money. I am into furniture. My intention was not to make people laugh. I am not a comedian. I am a streamer. First person to get 20,000 viewers on a live session,” he added.
Peller’s popularity soared after featuring Olamide in one of his TikTok live sessions. Jadorita, known for her unique robotic machine-themed content, has also built an impressive following on social media.

Alibaba tackles men who feel insecure over their wives’ higher earnings
Alibaba, the Nigerian comedian, has taken to social media to address men who feel threatened by their wives’ higher earnings.
In an Instagram post, the actor shared tweets urging women earning more than their husbands to quit their jobs.
Weighing in on the issue, the 59-year-old suggested that men who earn lower than their wives should be the ones to quit their jobs instead.
He also urged the category of men to upgrade their financial status instead of feeling insecure.
“All these lies you people are sharing will keeeeee you people soon. Who are these women who fall for such lies? If you earn more than your man, let him quit his own job. Nonsense!” he wrote.
“Who are these lazy bumcums peddling these stupid narratives? You are earning N1.5m a month, and your madam is earning 10m monthly. And with that kind of job comes different benefits, you will tell her to resign.
“That means your self-confidence is financially driven and anchored. Insecurities my foot. So, Stedman will tell Oprah Winfrey to resign. Who is bringing up these men with self esteem that is defined by financial status?
“No wonder, once a woman looks rich and exudes prosperity vibes, these sort of mean become weaklings. Instead of being challenged and driven to upgrade your financial status. Shiooooo.”

I realised my relationship was abusive after first slap, says Monalisa Stephen
Actress and content creator, Monalisa Stephen, has opened up about her experience in an abusive relationship.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, she stated that she did not initially recognise the abuse until she was physically assaulted.
She said, “I didn’t really know it was a thing. I used to hear other women talk about it, but I didn’t think it would happen to me. I used to believe, ‘I’m a huge woman with a big body, why would anyone want to beat me?’ But it has nothing to do with your body. You can be abused whether you’re fat or not. When I got the first slap, I was shocked. What led to the slap wasn’t even worth it. I was dazed. The experience was unexpected, and I felt really bad because this was someone I trusted. Even though he was below my league, I lowered my standards to date him.
