As Everybody Loves Jenifa continues its record-breaking streak, the actress remains focused on appreciating the fans who have made it all possible. “It’s not just about the numbers; it’s about the love,” Funke said during a recent interview. “This journey wouldn’t be possible without God and my incredible supporters.”

Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has capped off an incredible year with a splashy new purchase: a 2024 McLaren 750S, reportedly valued at an eye-watering ₦1.7 billion.

While the phone’s fate remains uncertain, Wizkid has wasted no time in treating himself to new milestones.

The star also made waves earlier this year with a heartwarming gesture for his sister, Yetunde, surprising her with a Range Rover worth an impressive ₦256 million.

Wizkid’s year-end splurge is a fitting finale to his stellar 2024, a year that saw him dominate the Afrobeats scene and maintain his reign as one of Africa’s most celebrated artists.
