Kehlani’s Commitment to Pure R&B In an era where R&B artists are constantly pressured to bend toward pop, Afrobeats, or algorithm-friendly hybrids, Kehlani has remained remarkably stubborn in her commitment to traditional R&B. That consistency has not always translated into the kind of global dominance her talent deserves, but it has earned her something arguably […]
There is a particular type of social media gospel that has become impossible to escape: quit your job, start a business, become your own boss, build generational wealth. It is sold not just as a career path but as a moral upgrade. In this world, entrepreneurship is not one option among many; it is positioned […]
From Soulful R&B to Dance-First Funk When Bruno Mars broke through in 2010, the pitch was clear: a modern R&B singer with old-soul instincts. Over the years, that center of gravity has shifted.

Introduction The Herd arrives at a time when Nigeria is still struggling to come to terms with the scale of its kidnapping and terrorism crisis. What once felt like distant news has grown into a billion-naira industry that touches families, communities, and entire regions. This film does not attempt to soften that reality. Instead, it […]
There is a running joke about Nigerians that the world seems to agree on: Nigerians are loud. It is said casually, sometimes affectionately, sometimes as a criticism.
