Rihanna God’s plan

Rihanna shares at Fenty Beauty launch in Barbados that music wasn’t God’s ultimate plan, highlighting her journey towards business success.

 

Global music icon and entrepreneur Rihanna recently revealed that while music brought her fame, it was not ultimately God’s plan for her life.

Speaking at the launch of her Fenty Beauty brand in her native Barbados on Thursday, the singer discussed how her journey led her to explore opportunities beyond music.

“Music was the thing that got the attention,” Rihanna said at the event, “but God had other plans for me, and I was able to create in ways that were very sincere, genuine, organic, and authentic to the things that I love.”

Her comments resonated with fans who have witnessed her evolution from a chart-topping artist to a highly successful businesswoman.

Rihanna’s business acumen has propelled her to billionaire status, which was confirmed by Forbes a few years ago when her net worth surpassed the billion-dollar mark.

The majority of her wealth comes from her makeup empire, Fenty Beauty, which has gained global popularity for its inclusivity and quality.

Beyond cosmetics, her ventures in the fashion and skincare industries, alongside her earnings from record sales and tours, have further solidified her financial success.

Though her music laid the foundation of her career, Rihanna’s focus has clearly shifted towards creating brands that reflect her personal values and interests.

Fenty Beauty, with its commitment to diverse representation, has grown into a cultural phenomenon, helping Rihanna expand her impact from the music industry into the world of business.

The Barbados event was a homecoming for Rihanna, who has often expressed pride in her roots. As she celebrated the continued success of Fenty Beauty, her reflections on destiny and purpose highlighted the many ways she has managed to inspire fans globally, not just through her music but also through her entrepreneurial journey.

Lizzy Anjorin Questions Court Order Over Priscilla Ojo’s Son

Published

on

Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has questioned the authenticity of an interim order issued by the Lagos State High Court on 2 September 2026, restraining her from publishing photographs of Priscilla Ojo’s one-year-old son, Rakeem Mkambala, and from posting editorials concerning the family on specified social media platforms.

Anjorin raised the issue during an Instagram Live session on Friday, 4 September, after Priscilla shared a copy of the court order online.

The actress argued that publicising court documents before formally serving the respondent undermines the case.

“Your case na dead on arrival. If you post court letter on any platform before serving person wey you wan go serve, that court case na fake court case,” Anjorin said during the live session.

Her comments came shortly after the High Court of Lagos State granted an ex parte application brought by Priscilla, her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Mussa Mkambala, and their son, Rakeem.

Justice Yetunde Adesanya issued the interim order in Suit No. LD/ADR/6646/2026.

The order restrains Anjorin, as well as people acting under her authority, from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading or broadcasting photographs of Rakeem on specified social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok.

The court also directed Anjorin to cease publishing or broadcasting editorials concerning the applicants on the platforms covered by the order.

An ex parte order is made at an interim stage without the respondent being heard. The order is therefore not a final determination of the dispute and remains subject to further proceedings.

Priscilla shared the certified copy of the order on her Instagram Story on Friday, bringing the legal development into public view.

Anjorin’s reaction centres on the timing and manner in which the court documents were publicised. Her assertion that such publication makes a case “fake” is her own claim and is not a finding contained in the court order.

The development marks another chapter in the prolonged public dispute between Anjorin and Priscilla’s family, particularly Priscilla’s mother, actress Iyabo Ojo.

The disagreement has played out largely on social media and has previously resulted in legal action, including a ₦1 billion defamation suit filed by Iyabo Ojo against Anjorin.

In recent weeks, the dispute has also drawn Priscilla and her young son into the controversy, following public comments by Anjorin concerning the family.

BBNaija Kess Says Big Brother Makes Life Harder

Published

on

Kesiena Tony Adjekpovu, popularly known as Kess, has said that participating in Big Brother Naija can make life harder, offering a candid reflection on the challenges that may come with the reality television experience.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the comment in a statement shared on social media, where he suggested that winning or simply taking part in the reality show does not necessarily make life easier after leaving the house.

“Big Brother makes your life harder,” Kess said.

The remark has drawn attention because life after reality television can bring a different set of expectations, particularly as former housemates adjust to increased public attention and the pressure that can accompany visibility.

Kess was a housemate on the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, which aired in 2022. He entered the show as a businessman and was among the contestants who competed for the season’s grand prize.

His time on the programme also placed him in the public eye, giving viewers an opportunity to follow his personality and relationships inside the house.

Kess’s latest comment offers a more reflective view of the reality TV platform, suggesting that the experience does not end when a contestant leaves the house.

However, he did not provide further details in the available post explaining which specific aspects of life after Big Brother he was referring to.
