American streamer and social media influencer Adin Ross has come out as one of the big winners in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, securing a $1.6 million payout after betting on Donald Trump to win.

Adin Ross disclosed on his social media accounts that he had placed a $1 million wager on the Republican candidate ahead of Election Day.

The victory follows Trump’s successful bid for the presidency, defeating incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris.

This marks a historical moment as Trump, at 78, becomes the oldest person elected President of the United States.

Just weeks before the election, Ross hosted Trump in a widely viewed live-streaming session, where he publicly endorsed the former president.

Ross’s bet and subsequent win have drawn widespread attention on social media, with fans and followers reacting to both his gamble and its impressive outcome.

Davido, the Afrobeats star, has come under intense criticism on social media for participating in the 2024 US presidential election.

Donald Trump defeated Vice-President Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party on Wednesday to win the US presidential election.

But on Tuesday, Davido shared a photo of himself holding a sticker that reads “I am a Georgian voter. I secured my vote”.

The singer expressed his enthusiasm as a “first-time voter in the US”.

However, many Nigerians have called him out for being “hypocritical,” alleging that he never voted in Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election

Some users argued that Davido’s sudden interest in voting in the US election seems like a bid for validation from Americans.

Others defended Davido’s right to vote in the US election, citing his citizenship as a valid reason. They argued that it was his civic duty to participate in the democratic process, regardless of his nationality.

“This guy is a hypocrite, you’ve never voted in any presidential election in Nigeria, but now you’re seeking validation from Americans,” a user wrote.

In another comment, a user added: “When it concerns Nigeria, you will never see them. The only time they are interested is when they can chase clout with it. Yeyebrities.”

Ufuoma McDermott, the Nollywood actress, has revealed the cause of her stage four kidney disease.

In a recent episode of the WithChude podcast, McDermott shared that her kidney disease was caused by prolonged misuse of strong painkillers due to migraines and headaches.

The actress revealed that she had avoided wearing glasses due to concerns about her appearance, leading to chronic headaches. She said to manage the pain, she took strong painkillers, unaware of the long-term consequences.

The 43-year-old said she found out about the cause after she and her brother were both diagnosed with kidney disease, sparking fears that it might be genetic.

“I really wish everyone would understand the importance of health. My brother was diagnosed late on stage 4 of kidney disease and he goes straight into dialysis and has complications. I was diagnosed earlier,” she said.

“So I have lived on medication for almost 12 years now. When my brother got diagnosed, I ran to my cardiologist. My parents were scared, thinking if this was genetic. We had to trace the kidney disease and we learned it was from drug abuse.

“I grew up with migraines, headaches, and eye aches, and I never wore my glasses because they made me look like a geek. I would take painkillers for my migraine. I took strong painkillers and not the ordinary painkillers because I wanted the pain to go away.”
