Eezzy Teases Double Hits Release over Weekend: Dancehall or Hip-Hop?

Attention, music lovers! Eezzy , the Northern hitmaker, is about to make December twice as lit with not one, but TWO fire tracks dropping this weekend.

Now, the million-dollar question: are you ready for these musical gifts? Or better yet, which camp are you joining—the dancehall gang or the hip-hop crew? For the dancehall fans, one of the bangers, Wai Daba , features the ever-electric Kasita Karole .

Whether you're whining to the beat or nodding your head like a lyrical connoisseur, this weekend is about to ...

Australia Bans Social Media for Teens under 16, Uganda is Watching

Australia has decided to ground its teens from the digital skies, passing a law that bans under-16s from social media without parental consent. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat are now bracing for fines up to AU$49.5 million if they let the young’uns slip through. The Tech Titans Clap Back Meta thinks lawmakers fast-tracked this like an overdue school project. Snapchat says the law leaves “many unanswered questions,” but promises to cooperate (begrudgingly). TikTok, always a drama magnet, warns this could drive teens into the internet’s shady alleys—where no safety filters dare tread. What’s PM Albanese’s Take? Australia’s Prime Minister suggests kids ditch their phones for cricket bats and swimming pools. But even he admits enforcing the law might be as tricky as stopping a sneaky sip of Dad’s beer. Still, he’s all-in, declaring: "We’ve got your back, Aussie parents." Execution Woes Here’s the kicker: nobody knows how this will work. A trial starts in...

Uganda Law Society Faces Turmoil Amid Leadership Controversy

The Uganda Law Society (ULS) has plunged into a storm of controversy involving its president, Isaac Ssemakadde, after his provocative remarks targeted legal officials, including Director of Public Prosecutions, Justice Jane Frances Abodo. Ssemakadde’s comments, widely condemned as vulgar and misogynistic, have sparked outrage among the legal fraternity and Uganda’s Minister of State for Ethics and Integrity. The ULS Council responded by suspending Ssemakadde and Vice President Anthony Asiimwe over misconduct allegations, including financial mismanagement. However, critics challenge the legality of the suspensions, accusing the council of bypassing constitutional processes. This action has deepened divisions within the society, with supporters viewing Ssemakadde as a reformist challenging entrenched systems, while detractors criticize his approach as unprofessional and detrimental to the society's image. The crisis has far-reaching implications, from potential legal battles to strai...

Nicki Minaj is taking multitasking to a whole new level by hitting the road with her adorable mini-me, Papa Bear. The rap queen recently shared the hilarious antics of her toddler, who’s already embracing the rockstar lifestyle like he’s been headlining since birth. “I come home from a show, and this little man is sitting there fully dressed, sneakers on, looking at me like, ‘What’s the move, Mommy?’” Nicki revealed with a laugh. “He refuses to take his shoes off because he thinks we’re about to hop on a bus, a plane, or maybe even a spaceship. He’s like, ‘I gotta stay ready, Mommy.’” Let’s just take a moment to appreciate the hustle. Papa Bear isn’t playing around—he’s got his snacks, his kicks, and probably a toy microphone ready to go.

The Shortest Wedding in Juba’s History: A Celebration Overshadowed by Turmoil

The joyous union of Mr. Deng Rehan Ayuel and Mrs. Alek Tong Machel Dut, widely anticipated and celebrated, has tragically gone down in history as the shortest wedding ever recorded in Juba.

Attendees described the atmosphere as both joyous and tense, with the couple exchanging vows un...

Alien Skin Arrested on Robbery and Assault Charges

Patrick Mulwana, popularly known as Alien Skin, has found himself at the center of controversy yet again. The self-proclaimed "Fangone Forest President" was arrested on charges of robbery involving an iPhone 15 and 480,000 UGX, along with allegations of assault against medical staff at Nsambya Hospital.

Mike Tyson Fights Once Again Tonight Live On Netflix

The world is buzzing as the iconic AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, becomes the stage for a clash that no one saw coming: Mike Tyson, the living legend of boxing, and Jake Paul, the social media sensation who punches as hard as his tweets.

Tyson, now in his 50s but still with fists that can split atoms, is stepping into the ring after years of metaphorically knocking out pigeons and podcast guests. Meanwhile, Jake Paul—the self-proclaimed "Problem Child"—brings his unorthodox journey from YouTube pranks to professional boxing, where he's been surprising skeptics and silencing haters. But tonight, he's not up against a TikTok dancer or retired NBA player. This is Iron Mike, the original KO king, and he isn’t here for tutorials on viral dances. Streaming globally on Netflix, this fight promises action, nostalgia, and perhaps a few memes in the making. Will J...
