Street-pop star Zlatan Ibile has delighted fans with a video of him teaching his father-in-law his famous dance moves.

What happened

The clip, which spread online on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, was reportedly filmed at a welcome party for family and friends in Marrakesh, Morocco, where Zlatan and his wife, Davita, are holding their white wedding this weekend. In the video, Zlatan takes to the dance floor with his wife's father and breaks into his trademark 'Gbeseh' legwork. The older man gamely copies the moves as guests cheer.

Background

Zlatan and Davita recently held a high-profile wedding ceremony in Nigeria. The singer's new song 'Inferno', featuring Peruzzi and Shoday, recently topped the Apple Music Nigeria chart and has been seen as a response to activist VeryDarkMan, who criticised the wedding. Davido publicly congratulated Zlatan on the song's success.

Davido was among the celebrities at the welcome party, and a video of him dancing between two female guests also went viral, drawing playful reactions from fans.

How fans reacted

Fans praised the father-in-law for his enthusiasm and described the moment as heartwarming. Many said it showed a good relationship between Zlatan and his in-laws, and looked forward to seeing pictures from the white wedding.

Rapper Odumodublvck, real name Tochukwu Ojogwu, has made a controversial claim about how some musicians chase success in Nigeria's competitive music industry.

What he said

Speaking on a podcast, in comments shared on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, the rapper said getting a hit song is not easy and that some people even turn to spiritual practices, popularly called 'jazz', to get one. He said this is why some artists appear to struggle badly when they cannot get a hit. He did not name any artist or provide evidence for the claim.

Praise for the big three

Odumodublvck praised Burna Boy, Wizkid and Davido, saying their ability to release successful songs consistently for years deserves respect. He noted that some artists never get a single hit in their entire careers.

Background

Odumodublvck rose to fame with his 2023 hit 'Declan Rice' and is known for bold statements. Earlier this week he drew mockery after claiming that Nigerians did not know Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice until he released the song. Claims about artists using spiritual help for success are a long-running topic of gossip in Nigerian entertainment, but they are rarely backed by evidence.

How people reacted

Fans were divided. Some said the claim reflected what many people already suspect, while others accused the rapper of spreading rumours and said hard work and talent explain most hits.

American hip-hop artist Rayven Tyler has sparked conversation about relationships after sharing her experience of dating women and admitting that she now understands some of the challenges men face.

What she said

According to the artist, her personal experiences have given her a different perspective on dating, and made her appreciate what many men go through when trying to keep their relationships going.

"After dating women for so long, I just want to say I get it now, men, and I'm sorry. Now I know what you guys are passing through," she reportedly said.

Why it struck a chord

For years, men have complained about the pressures they face in relationships, from managing emotional expectations to dealing with misunderstandings and trying to keep their partners happy.

Tyler's statement suggests that her own dating experiences have helped her see some of those complaints from a different angle. What makes her comments particularly interesting is that she is speaking from her own experience of dating women, a perspective that has drawn plenty of attention.

Her remarks have opened a wider discussion about emotional expectations, communication and the difficulties that sometimes come with understanding a partner.

Every relationship is different

Relationship experiences differ from person to person, and her comments reflect her own perspective rather than the behaviour of all women.

Over to you

Does dating women give women a better understanding of what men experience in relationships, or does everything depend on the individual involved?

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has named the venue for the official launch of Atiku Abubakar's 2027 presidential campaign in Sokoto.

The venue

According to reports, the campaign will be flagged off at the party's secretariat on Ilorin Road, Sokoto, on Wednesday, 4 November 2026. Senator Ibrahim Lamido, who coordinates the ADC presidential campaign in the state, said Atiku was expected to arrive at Sultan Abubakar III International Airport at about 9am, and invited supporters and members of the public to welcome him before moving to the venue. He urged party executives in all 23 local government areas of the state to mobilise supporters.

Why the venue was kept quiet

The party had earlier withheld details of the venue, citing alleged intimidation, an attack on the convoy of its governorship candidate and the sealing of one of its campaign offices. On Tuesday, Atiku accused the Department of State Services of recruiting protesters to disrupt the rally, a claim the DSS had not publicly answered. The Sokoto State Government said it sealed the office over questions about who owns the building and to prevent further disturbances.

Background

Atiku, a former vice-president, is the ADC's candidate after the party became the platform of an opposition coalition. Sokoto is in the North-West, a region with a large share of Nigeria's voters, and is governed by the APC. Other candidates, including President Bola Tinubu of the APC and Peter Obi of the NDC, have also been holding rallies and town halls across the country.

What happens next

Security agencies are expected to be deployed in Sokoto for the event, and the ADC plans further rallies in other states.
