From gold grills to a striking brooch, A$AP Rocky’s Cannes outfit was full of unforgettable style moments.
Did you catch A$AP Rocky at the Cannes Film Festival? He pulled up alongside Rihanna, who looked beautiful in a soft blue dress, proudly showing off her baby bump. But let’s talk about Rocky, because his look definitely had cameras flashing
He hit the red carpet with his usual confidence, wearing a sharp black double-breasted suit with bold peak lapels. His white shirt was unbuttoned at the top, revealing a black tie with diagonal white stripes.
The details made all the difference. He wore black sunglasses, gold grills on both his upper and lower teeth, and gold hoop earrings. A striking brooch with red gemstones sat on his lapel. On his wrist was a chunky gold bracelet, paired with a statement watch, and he finished the look with a bold ring on his left pinky finger.
A$AP Rocky came through looking fresh, confident, and well put together.
Nigerian Grammy award-winning global star Burna Boy has collaborated with Travis Scott to launch his eagerly awaited eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness, with today’s release of the new single, ‘Tatata’.
The track blends vibrant Brazilian funk rhythms with Nigerian Pidgin English and a pop-rap style.
In ‘Tatata’, Burna Boy references Equatorial Guinea public official Baltasar Engonga, who recently made headlines over a scandal involving a large collection of sex tapes.
American rapper Travis Scott features on the song, delivering a confident rap verse that complements Burna Boy’s message with bold lyrics.
‘Tatata’ follows the release of Burna Boy’s reggae single ‘Sweet Love’, which continues to build anticipation for the album.
Earlier singles include the upbeat ‘Bundle By Bundle’, which has garnered over 24 million Spotify streams and 8.5 million video views.
Recently, Burna Boy collaborated with French-Haitian singer Joé Dwèt Filé on a remix of the viral track ‘4 Kampé’, blending Afrobeats and Haitian Kompa in a cross-cultural hit climbing global charts.
Last month, Burna Boy became the first African artist to feature on the cover of Billboard France, coinciding with his historic sold-out concert at Stade de France.

Phyno and Fave bring the emotions of “Deep“ to life with visuals that feel as intense as the song itself.
The video opens with Fave in a dimly lit room, her face framed by warm, intimate lighting. She delivers her lines with that soft but intense energy she’s known for. Her voice is the heart of the song. She sings about needing a sign, craving a love that burns deep, and you can feel every word.
Phyno steps in with verses that mixes love and reassurance. He talks about staying grounded, proving his devotion, and fighting for what he wants.
Last night was a night to remember for Nigerian-British star Darkoo, and Ayra Starr. The stars took home awards at the 27th MOBO Awards, held at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena. The ceremony, which celebrates music of Black origin across genres like hip hop, R&B, Afrobeats, jazz, and grime, brought together some of the biggest names in the industry for a night of wins, emotional speeches, and more.
Darkoo walked away with Best Female Act, her first ever MOBO win, and also won Song of the Year for “Favourite Girl” featuring Dess Dior. In her speech, Darkoo thanked God, her parents, her team, and her fans for their support.
“I just want to say thank you to God. Big up my mum, my dad, for loving me, for accepting me. Big up my team, thank you for believing in me. Thank you to my fans, thank you so much.”
Afrobeats star Ayra Starr made history as the first woman in 16 years to win Best African Music Act. She did not stop there as she also won Best International Act. In her speech, she thanked everyone who had supported and believed in her.

Tems, Ayra Starr, and Tyla dominated this week. Tems performed at F1 livery for Aston Martin, Ayra Starr made history with double MOBO wins, and Tyla stunned on British Vogue.
The week isn’t even over yet, and it’s already been filled with wins, celebrations, and moments worth talking about from the women leading the music scene across the continent. Tems, Tyla, and AyraStarr (two Grammy winners and a double MOBO Award winner) have all been in the spotlight with a winning streak.
It’s been one good thing after another, so much so that it’s hard to know where to start. But let’s begin with Tems. Last week, she made a power move by joining San Diego FC’s ownership group as a club partner alongside IssaRae. Then she gave us the music video for ‘Boy O Boy,’ and if you’ve seen it, you probably haven’t stopped talking about the moment she picked up a grown man and dropped him on the floor—who knew she had that kind of strength? And just when we thought she was done, she took centre stage at The O2 Arena in London to perform live at the unveiling of Aston Martin’s 2025 racing car for Formula 1 car livery event.
For Tyla, the moment was all fashion. The South African star graced the cover of British Vogue’s March issue, and she absolutely owned it—the styling, the colours, the attitude, the presence. The interview was just as good, giving us a glimpse into her world as she continues to soar.
Then there was Ayra Starr, making history at the MOBO Awards. It had been 16 years since a female artist won Best African Music Act, but she broke that streak and took the award home. And that wasn’t all—she also won Best International Act, winning both of her nominations. Everything na doubledouble! She’s also in New Balance’s lifestyle 740s campaign, alongside JadenSmith, adding another highlight to an already incredible week.
From music to fashion and even sports, the women came through and owned the moment thai week. Wouldn’t you agree?
Seyi Vibez is kicking off the year with a brand-new EP, “Children of Africa“. It’s his first project of 2025, and as always, he’s coming in strong. The four-track EP packs in everything fans love about his sound, from street-hop to emotion and that spiritual touch he’s known for.
This time, he’s got a surprise in the mix. One of the tracks, “Macho”, features American rapper NLE Choppa. The rest, “Mario Kart“, “Shaolin“, and “Happy Song“, stay true to Seyi’s signature style.
Speaking of switching things up, Seyi Vibez has also been rocking a bold new look. Platinum blonde hair, zig-zag plaits, and colourful grills have replaced his usual style, making sure all eyes are on him.
Joeboy’s bold green suit is a masterclass in monochrome styling, proving that menswear can be both daring and cool.
Don’t you just love green? And isn’t it even better when your favourite celebrities pull off monochrome looks you’ve been wondering how to style?
Joeboy is showing us exactly how to rock an all-green outfit with easy charm. His suit is a bright shade of green, featuring a well-tailored blazer and matching trousers. He pairs it with black shoes and white socks, a combination so sleek that we’re already taking notes for future white-and-green styling. He finishes off the look with some accessories—a watch, rings, bracelets, and earrings that add just the right touch of personality.
The entire outfit is bold and striking, with a fresh and confident energy. There’s something undeniably cool about men embracing bold colours, and Joeboy does it so well.
Fresh off the release of his latest single ‘SMH,’ he’s getting ready for his third studio album while also serving some serious style inspiration.
Tyla joins Jennifer Hudson for an exclusive first look at her British Vogue cover, opening up about her Flintstones-inspired fashion, Met Gala look, and Victoria’s Secret performance.
Tyla was at The Jennifer Hudson Show where she got an exclusive first look at her British Vogue cover, and she had plenty to say! She talked about her Flintstones-inspired fashion, making a statement at the Met Gala, and taking the stage for her Victoria’s Secret performance—yes, those wings were real! She also spilled on working with SabrinaCarpenter and shared her dream collaborations.
She couldn’t hide her excitement about being on the March issue of British Vogue, calling it an unforgettable experience. From working with an amazing team to personally picking her outfits and colours, she was hands-on every step of the way.
Of course, she had to chat about her latest remix of “Push 2 Start” with SeanPaul—who she says was the perfect fit for the track.
And when it came to her love life, she had the best response. In a game segment, Jennifer asked her to describe it in three words, and Tyla simply said, “My love life.” The moment had Jennifer and the audience cracking up!
From her grand entrance through the Spirit Tunnel to the nonstop laughs and cheers, Tyla clearly had a blast on the show.
Skales come through with “Another One,” a song that’s all about attraction and rhythm. Produced by Kemuel Emmanuel, Bobberry MIX, and Ibk Sleek, it brings a smooth and engaging feel from start to finish.
From the first line, “Nothing sweet pass ileke,” he draws you in, linking beauty, movement, and desire. It’s a song that captures the feeling of being drawn to someone, that pull you can’t ignore. “My body no fit to dey one place when I set my all eye on your face,” he sings, making it clear this is more than just admiration. The hook, “Change your style, another one,” keeps the vibe playful, perfect for the dance floor.
