If reports flying around is anything to go by, then the relationship between Iyanya’s manager Ubi Franklin and his fiancee Lilian Esoro might be heading for the rocks and not the alter as we all thought.

The drama that has so far been unfolding could only be likened to a telenovella plotted around a love triangle with the principal characters being Emma Nyra, Ubi Franklin and Lilian Esoro.

A lot of rumors have been trailing Ubi and Lilian since the later proposed with insiders saying the engagement has been called off, however an interview granted by Emma added a rather interesting twist to the plot.
When asked by her interviewer if she had dated Ubi or Iyanya, Emma vehemently denied, even going as far as to swear that she never dated Ubi or Iyanya. she also claimed not to have dated someone in the industry but that someone was definitely not the triple Mg boss. Those who were in the know were quick to rubbish her claim saying she dated Ubi for 3 years before they went their separate ways, leading to her exit from the label.
It got even more interesting when an interview granted by Iyanya’s manager was released a few hours later.  In the tell all interview, Ubi admitted dating the “Elele” crooner and spending a whole lot of ,money on her career which has refused to pick up. He claimed to have only started dating the Nollywood actress after he and the singer went their separate ways because it wasn’t working.
 Emma later took to her instagram page to allude that she might have been in an abusive relationship, also granting more credibility to the allegation which has been flying around that she was a victim of domestic violence at the hands of her former boss/lover.
“Once I finally speak on my experience FULLY, everyone will truly understand. Silence and success are the best revenge only fools shout. Women should never be forced or abused into doing things they do not want to do. Lying to people is one thing.God sees us all”
Meanwhile, Lilian Esoro who had taken down her instagram account since last week put it back up this week and the pictures of her engagement with Ubi had disappeared. Rumor has it that the Clinic matters actress had called off the engagement with the triple mg boss right after she returned from the U.K. Insiders say this is the second time the actress will call off the engagement, and her friends are also in support of her refusal to go ahead with the marriage due to the domestic violence rumors going around the music entrepreneur.
Those who should be in the know say Ubi arranged a meeting of godfathers in the entertainment industry to appease the actress, but their plea fell on deaf ears.
Neither Ubi or the actress has spoken up about the status of their engagement, but as always, time will tell.

ENTERTAINMENT: A Star is Born: Harcher’s Stunning 2025 Headies Appearance Leaves Fans Amazed

By Ibrahim Kegbegbe

LAGOS, Nigeria — The 17th edition of the prestigious Headies Awards held on Sunday, April 27, 2025, may have celebrated Nigeria’s biggest music stars, but the night also marked a special turning point for a fast-rising name in the industry: Harcher.

ENTERTAINMENT: A Star is Born: Harcher's Stunning 2025 Headies Appearance Leaves Fans Amazed

By Ibrahim Kegbegbe

Although he was not among this year’s official nominees, Harcher, signed under Bullion Records, stole a significant slice of the spotlight with his charismatic red carpet appearance — thrilling fans both at the venue and those watching from home.

The Headies, hosted by Nollywood’s darling Nancy Isime, delivered a night packed with electrifying performances, emotional tributes, and major wins for stars like Chike, Rema, and the late Mohbad. However, when Harcher stepped onto the red carpet and caught the attention of popular media personality Enioluwa Adeoluwa, it ignited a wave of excitement that would ripple beyond the event hall.

Dressed sharply and exuding confidence, Harcher spoke passionately about his dreams during a heartfelt interview with Enioluwa.

“I’ve always dreamed of collaborating with legends like Wizkid, Davido, Olamide, and Burna Boy,” Harcher said, flashing a humble yet hopeful smile as cameras clicked and fans cheered.

He also took a moment to praise the Headies organizers for their role in promoting Nigerian music globally.
“The Headies have done so much for Nigerian entertainment,” Harcher said. “It’s amazing to see how our music is now celebrated all over the world because of platforms like this.”

In that moment, fans at home couldn’t contain their excitement — many took quick screenshots of Harcher’s TV appearance, proudly sharing the images across social media with captions like, “Our star is next!” Those present at the venue also seized the opportunity, swarming around Harcher for photographs after his interview, capturing memories with an artist they believe is destined for greatness.

Bullion Records’ Brightest Prospect

Harcher’s journey with Bullion Records has been marked by steady growth, blending Afrobeat rhythms with the grit of Hip-hop to craft relatable, energetic anthems that resonate with Nigeria’s youth. With every release, he has gained momentum — and Sunday night proved that the industry is beginning to take notice too.

Bullion Records, known for nurturing new talents, has high hopes for Harcher, a sentiment echoed by fans who flooded the label’s hotline — the popular “Bullion Records Hot Number” — with congratulatory messages after the red carpet interview aired.

“This is just the beginning for Harcher,” a Bullion Records fan club member said during a live Twitter Space. “Today he’s being interviewed among legends, tomorrow he’ll be winning awards right on that same stage!”

The Power of the Headies Next Rated Dream

The Headies’ Next Rated category has historically been a launching pad for future megastars like Wizkid (2011), Davido (2012), Rema (2019), and Tems (2021). While the 2025 Next Rated Award went to Odumodublvck, fans are already tipping Harcher as a front-runner for future editions.

Winning Next Rated not only brings industry recognition but also car prizes, endorsements, and international exposure — a reward that many believe is within Harcher’s reach sooner than later.

A Night of Celebration for Music

The Headies 2025 celebrated outstanding talent across Africa. Chike’s ‘Egwu’ featuring the late Mohbad was a major winner, scooping the Viewers’ Choice Award and Best Music Video. Rema’s ‘Heis’ bagged Album of the Year, while Tems won Best Recording of the Year with “Burning.” Special recognition awards went to influential figures like Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Alex Okosi, and Amaju Pinnick.

Even with all these major wins, Harcher’s simple presence, filled with passion and gratitude, managed to capture hearts — a testimony to his growing influence.

Looking Ahead

As the lights dimmed at the Energy Centre where the Headies was held, and fans filed out into the Lagos night, one thing was clear: Harcher’s time is coming. His fans — the ones who screenshotted him from their living rooms and those who took selfies with him live at the event — will be the ones to proudly say, “We saw it first.”

The 2025 Headies may have officially crowned its winners, but for Harcher and his ever-growing fanbase, it was the night a new star officially stepped into the spotlight.
