A popular Lagos State socialite, Farida Abdulkabir, has explained why she wanted to plunge into a lagoon on the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos.

Abdulkabir who is also the owner of House of Phreedah cited frustrations, failed marriage and many others as what propelled her action on Thursday night.

In a viral voice note on social media, she said her N100 million marriage with another Lagos socialite, Demola Okulaja, crashed after two months.

Abdulkabir was seen being pacified to desist from jumping in a viral video, while rescuers were assuring her there was no need to take her life but all would be well with her before she was whisked away into her vehicle and taken to an undisclosed destination.

The fair-complexioned entrepreneur and socialite owns a beauty lounge and spa located at Akerele Street, Surulere, Lagos.

As a fallout of her crashed marriage, Farida who could not endure depression decided to end her life as she alighted from her black-coloured Sport Utility Vehicle on the Third Mainland Bridge to plunge into the lagoon.

She was married to another Lagos socialite, Demola Okulaja, in a grand marriage about two months ago.

Abdulkabir said after Okulaja walked out of the matrimonial home, she’s been frustrated with many suicidal attempts.

She said, “Friends and families warned me not to go into the marriage. They told me that the man only wanted my money but I was recalcitrant.

“I am so sorry for putting my children in such a position. I would not have forgiven myself if I had abandoned them after committing suicide.

Meanwhile, Farida and her estranged hubby engaged in altercations, revealing shocking family secrets on social media, attacking themselves, and calling themselves unprintable names.

‘I’m retiring from music’ – Kanye West

A former security guard, Jonathan Monroe, has initiated legal proceedings against Kanye West, asserting that the rapper did not compensate him for his services.

Court documents indicate that West engaged Monroe in August 2021 to provide security at his residence in Malibu, California, with a stipulated hourly wage of $30.

Monroe contends that he worked considerable hours, between 36 and 50 hours weekly, yet did not receive any payment.

He further claims that after expressing concerns regarding his unpaid wages, West terminated his employment in October 2021.

The lawsuit seeks restitution for:

– Unpaid wages

– Interest on the owed amount

– Punitive damages

This legal matter comes to light following West’s recent sale of his Malibu property for $21 million, a significant reduction from its original listing price of $53 million.

Singer and chorus leader, Timi Dakolo, was thrilled as his wife, Busola Dakolo, marked her 40th birthday on Thursday, October 3, 2024.

Wizkid continues to shade Davido, reflects on their last link-up

Nigerian music superstar Wizkid has continued to express his disdain for fellow artist Davido, taking every opportunity to criticize and belittle him. The ongoing feud between the two prominent musicians has escalated further, drawing attention across social media platforms.

Recently, an incident reignited their rivalry when a video clip was shared on X (formerly Twitter) showcasing a brief and seemingly cordial interaction between Wizkid and Davido at a public event. In the video, the two were seen exchanging greetings, sparking curiosity among fans who thought the two might have settled their differences. However, a netizen accompanying the post implied that Wizkid must be secretly wishing for more moments like that encounter, suggesting a longing for reconciliation.

In response, Wizkid wasted no time confirming the user’s speculation but took it a step further by delving into details of what transpired that day. According to him, the scenario was not as it appeared on the surface. Wizkid alleged that Davido and his entourage had crashed his DJ’s party in Lagos, showing up uninvited. He claimed that the appearance was not a friendly gesture but an intrusion on what was meant to be a private event.

Wizkid further asserted that Davido’s behavior was nothing new, alleging that the singer frequently sought him out wherever he went, describing him dismissively as his “fanboy.” He insisted that Davido’s efforts to connect with him were not genuine and were only attempts to gain attention or relevance in settings where Wizkid was already making headlines.

The harsh words from Wizkid have only added fuel to the already intense rivalry between the two musicians. Fans of both artists have been divided, with some siding with Wizkid for his candor, while others criticize him for taking unnecessary jabs at Davido. The situation has led to a social media storm, with hashtags related to both artists trending as supporters and critics weigh in on the unfolding drama.

Despite the tensions, it remains unclear if the rivalry will deescalate anytime soon or if this is merely another chapter in their long-standing competition. For now, the public can only watch and wait to see what happens next in this ongoing clash between two of Nigeria’s biggest musical icons.

In his words:

“Want what? He looks for me everywhere I go like a fan boy he his! This was an event for one of my Dj’s Skyla in Lagos! We no invite dem!”
