Like Birdman and Omawumi who both walked out of interviews this year, Nigerian pop act, Sean Tizzle has done the same. In a rather shocking manner, the ‘Sho Le’ singer reacted to bleaching rumours that have trailed him for several years during a recent interview. In a May 2016 interview with HF TV, Sean Tizzle blamed the bleaching rumours on the media saying, ‘Right now you can see what I look like, I really don’t know about all that, because people go still talk. Guess we could just blame it on the filters and these days I’ve been advised not…

Believe it or not, the last official song released by Nigeria pop star, Davido was ‘The Money’ featuring Olamide on November 7, 2015. At the time when ‘The Money’ was released, it was meant to be the single that’ll precede the release of Davido’s sophomore album.

Jose Mourinho wants Paul Pogba to forget his world-record price tag and show Manchester United his true quality. A summer of discussion bore fruit five weeks ago when the open secret of the 23-year-old’s Old Trafford return from Juventus was made official. United paid an eye-watering €105 million euros (£89 million) to bring back a player who left them four years earlier in search of first-team football, with a further €5m (£4.25m) due if certain targets are met. It is a remarkable, record-breaking fee that sees Pogba stand alone as the world’s most expensive player ever — a price tag…
Antonio Conte warned his Chelsea players that they must “feel the danger in every moment of the game” if they are to avoid a repeat of last season’s Premier League capitulation, after a 2-1 defeat against Liverpool on Friday. First-half goals from Dejan Lovren and Jordan Henderson gave a dominant Liverpool what proved an unassailable lead after 45 minutes at Stamford Bridge, though Diego Costa scored his fifth Premier League goal of the season in the 61st minute to set up a tense finale. Much of the prematch talk centered around David Luiz’s return to the heart of the Chelsea…
Jurgen Klopp said Liverpool “played football like hell” as his side defeated Chelsea 2-1 on Friday night. Dejan Lovren’s volley and Jordan Henderson’s wonder strike gave Klopp a second victory at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League since he took over the Reds last season. Diego Costa found a second-half goal for Chelsea, and while Klopp said the Blues were “too strong” to control for all 90 minutes, he was particularly pleased with his side’s performance before the break. “The beginning was brilliant — brilliant from my side. We played football like hell. It was really nice to watch,” the…
Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has told Paul Pogba to keep things simple instead of trying to replicate Barcelona star Lionel Messi. The France international has endured a difficult start to life at Old Trafford following his £89million move from Juventus and has received his fair share of criticism in recent weeks. Scholes believes Pogba is trying too hard to make the difference and has advised the midfielder to focus on the things that made him stand out in Serie A. “Pogba seems to be a little all over the place at times. I think he’s trying to do…
Leonardo Bonucci has warned Inter that Juventus are hungrier than ever following their disappointing 0-0 Champions League draw with Sevilla on Wednesday. The Serie A champions are regarded as one of the outsiders to win European club football’s elite competition, but they failed to get off to a winning start. Juve will be looking to return to winning ways against Inter on Sunday, having started their bid for a sixth consecutive Scudetto with three straight victories. “Sunday’s match against Inter will be a tough test for us against a team in transition; no doubt they will be looking to prove…
Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti has already noticed improvement in his game thanks to facing Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar in training. Umtiti, 22, joined the LaLiga champions from Lyon in June in a deal reportedly worth €25million. The France international has made an impressive start to life in Spain, and he believes some of that is down to his team’s attacking stars. “I like to play against Messi, Neymar and Suarez in training,” Umtiti told Cadena SER. “It’s a plus, and in the games I notice it.” Umtiti had special praise for Messi, saying the Argentina international was the…
Jose Mourinho refused to pass judgement on his Manchester United fringe players after his side were beaten 1-0 in their Europa League opener at Feyenoord. United put in a disjointed performance at De Kuip and were caught by a 79th-minute sucker punch from Tonny Vilhena that proved enough to earn all three points for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men in the Group A fixture. The likes of Matteo Darmian, Marcos Rojo, Morgan Schneiderlin and Ander Herrera were all given the chance to stake a claim for a starting berth having had limited minutes this term, but United endured a frustrating evening.…
Adam Lallana is not just impressing Jurgen Klopp on the pitch, with the Liverpool manager revealing the attacking midfielder is also a “nice guy” as a neighbour. England international Lallana has flourished since Klopp took over at Anfield in October 2015 having initially struggled following his 2014 move from Southampton. Lallana emphasised his growing importance to Liverpool with a superb strike in Sunday’s 4-1 rout of Premier League champions Leicester City at a redeveloped Anfield. Klopp says Lallana is flourishing after fully settling at the club, and the manager may even be able to pop into the 28-year-old’s house for…
Atletico Madrid forward Fernando Torres has responded to speculation that Diego Simeone has had his contract at the club shortened, dismissing them as an unnecessary distraction. Reports in Spain suggest the Atleti boss has negotiated with the club over reducing the length of his current deal, meaning it will expire in 2018 rather than 2020. However, Torres stressed the issue was not something he wanted to hinder the team’s pursuit of silverware, insisting that his side’s focus should be on having a successful season. “It’s a hypothesis that is not real,” he said at a promotional event. “Let’s be real.…
