Do you agree with this year’s rankings? If not, who would make your Top 10?

Up to $300,000.

That is how much Davido says he spends every month, a figure that does not even account for his wife, Chioma Adeleke, or the rest of his household.

The Nigerian Afrobeats superstar made the revelation during a livestream with streamer Davrel, offering fans a rare glimpse into the financial demands of life at the top.

I spend between $200,000 and $300,000 every month and that does not even include my wife’s expenses or the rest of my household.

Davido added that the estimate also excludes some of his biggest purchases.

It also does not include expenses for the purchase of luxury cars and jewellery.

Based on current exchange rates, the singer’s monthly spending is roughly equivalent to between UGX 740 Million and UGX 1.11 Billion, before factoring in luxury acquisitions.

The official song of the 2026 FIFA World Cup has reached the top of the world.

“Dai Dai,” performed by Burna Boy and Shakira, has climbed to No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, giving Burna Boy another landmark achievement in his career.

With the accomplishment, Burna Boy becomes the first African lead artist to top the Billboard Global 200.

The World Cup anthem also made gains on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, rising 12 places to a new peak of No. 55.

Elsewhere on the charts, Nigerian singer Tems continued her impressive run as “What You Need” climbed to No. 39 on the Billboard Hot 100 after 15 weeks.

The song has also topped both the Billboard Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart and the Mediabase Urban radio airplay chart, extending Tems’ growing list of international achievements.

Kenya’s High Court has dismissed a bid by a Rastafarian group seeking to legalise the use of cannabis for religious purposes.

The Rastafarian community had argued that the ban on smoking cannabis infringed on their rights to freedom of religion and belief guaranteed under the constitution.

In a landmark judgement, Justice Bahati Mwamuye said the community had failed to prove drug laws violated their constitutional rights, but acknowledged the need for a broader national debate on cannabis.

There has been a continued push to legalise cannabis in Kenya, with advocates arguing that its regulated cultivation and trade could create jobs, boost tax revenue and support industrial and medicinal uses.

Rastafarians argue that smoking cannabis is part of their religious doctrine which must be respected and upheld.

“We ought to have frank conversations on cannabis and which directions we should take,” Justice Mwamuye said.

“This is not a question for the Rastafarian community only. It is a national question that cuts across the entire spectrum of our society,” he added – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT1X9bTTH6A&t=20s

Brandy has responded to the online conversation surrounding her noticeably slimmer appearance with a heartfelt message about self-worth, kindness and the dangers of judging others by how they look.

The Grammy-winning singer and actress recently sparked discussion on social media after fans reacted to her latest public appearances. While some praised her appearance, others expressed concern and speculated about her health.

Without directly addressing the speculation, Brandy took to Instagram to reflect on how society often places too much value on physical appearance.

Perhaps we have been looking for it in all the wrong places. In youth. In perfection. In approval. In bodies that never change and faces that never age.

The singer went on to acknowledge that life naturally changes people and that those changes should not define their worth.

Life was never meant to leave us untouched. It shapes us. It humbles us. It refines us. Every season leaves its signature upon us.

Brandy also urged people to think twice before making assumptions about someone based solely on their appearance, noting that no one truly knows what another person may be experiencing.

I have learned that it takes only a moment to form an opinion about someone’s appearance, and a lifetime to understand what they have lived through.

She concluded her message with an appeal for compassion.

Before you speak about someone’s body… remember, you are looking at someone’s child. Someone’s friend. Someone’s dream. Someone’s life. A soul. And souls have always been more beautiful than surfaces.

Brandy did not disclose any health condition or explain the reason behind her slimmer appearance.

Instead, her message shifted the conversation away from speculation and toward empathy, reminding followers that a person’s value extends far beyond their physical appearance.

Lamine Yamal had no interest in talking about destiny.

As Spain prepared to face France in the FIFA World Cup semifinal, one reporter steered the conversation away from tactics and toward an unlikely pattern that had already caught the internet’s attention.

Yamal had just turned 19.

He wears Spain’s No. 19 shirt.

If Spain won, he would play in the FIFA World Cup final on July 19.

It sounded almost too perfect, so the question followed naturally.

Did he believe in numerology?

Yamal answered with a smile before gently dismantling the theory.

The Portugal manager said something like that, and then Mikel Merino, who wears number 6, scored… so…

The room laughed.

The conversation moved on.

So did Yamal.

Moments later, another reporter asked what birthday present he wanted.

I have not received many gifts yet. The best gift would be a win tomorrow and a trip to New York.

There was nothing symbolic about that answer.

Beat France.

Reach the World Cup final.

Fly to New York.

Twenty-four hours later, Spain did exactly that.

Almost immediately, fans returned to the earlier exchange. Clips from the press conference spread across social media, and the same coincidence Yamal had brushed aside suddenly felt impossible to ignore.

The teenager still wore No. 19. The final still awaited on July 19. His birthday wish had already come true.

Yamal never claimed the numbers meant anything.

He never suggested fate had chosen Spain.

He simply answered two questions, smiled, and got on with preparing for one of the biggest matches of his career.

The rest of the story belonged to football fans, who found meaning in the coincidence long after Yamal had stopped thinking about it.
