Last week was eventful in showbiz. TheCable Lifestyle examines the top entertainment news that got tongues wagging in the past seven days.

DAVIDO’S NEW ALBUM

Davido ended his months-long social media hiatus on Tuesday with the surprise announcement of his highly anticipated studio album titled ‘Timeless’.

The Afrobeats star’s fourth studio album is expected to be released on March 31. 

His three other albums include ‘Omo Baba Olowo’ (2012), ‘A Good Time’ (2019), and ‘A Better Time‘ (2020).

Davido has been avoiding social media since the shocking death of Ifeanyi, his three-year-old son, on October 30, 2022.

AY REVEALS THE CAUSE OF HIS 17-YEAR-OLD FEUD WITH BASKETMOUTH

AY Makun over the weekend broke his silence about his nearly two-decade rift with Basketmouth.

AY said Basketmouth used to connect him to perform at events when he was starting out in the comedy business.

“Usually, what we get at that time is ₦30,000. ₦30,000 at that time was everything to me,” AY said.

“I got this job and the people weren’t too happy to see me because they were expecting a Basketmouth to come.

“Two weeks running, I hadn’t seen ₦30,000. Because I didn’t see the ₦30,000, I was starving in Iponri.

“I decided to ask for ₦30,000 and he said this person hasn’t remitted. He said they were not happy.”

AY said it was when he shared a picture of his chats with both parties that a fight broke out.

He said he was not at odds with Basketmouth at the time but the incident triggered the feud.

WHITE MONEY VS VICTORIA INYAMA

White Money, the 2021 BBNaija winner, was last week provoked following the controversial remark by Victoria Inyama, the actress, about his mother.

The reality star stirred up a hornet’s nest on social media platforms after sharing a post where he said “no woman is out of a man’s league as long as he has money.”

Inyama, who seemed displeased by White Money’s remark, blamed it on the “kind” of woman who raised him.

The apparently furious reality star went on an expletive-laden rant to express his displeasure with Inyama.

PATRICK DOYLE UNVEILS NEW WIFE 

Patrick Doyle, in his Mother’s Day post, lavished Oluwafunmilayo, his new partner, with romantic words on social media.

The ace actor also penned a tribute to his late mother, sisters, and wife, who he said had impacted his life.

He said Oluwafunmilayo has taken up the role of “my mother, friend, and partner” while adding that he has never been happier all his life.

His post attracted a wave of mixed reactions on social media platforms.

Ireti, the actress, confirmed her divorce from Patrick in January.

The celebrity couple tied the knot in 2004.
