Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy has set a new record as the African artiste with the most entries on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

He achieved the milestone after breaking his tie with fellow Nigerian singer Tems, with both previously holding eight entries each.

Burna Boy’s latest entry came through his collaboration with international star Shakira on the World Cup song titled “Dai Dai.”

The track debuted at number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100, pushing Burna Boy’s total entries to nine — the highest ever by an African artiste.

The song reportedly gained more attention after Burna Boy and Shakira performed it at the World Cup opening ceremony.

Burna Boy also becomes the first African artiste to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 for six consecutive years.

His entries over the years include “Loved By You” (2021), “Last Last” (2022), “Sittin’ On Top Of The World” and “Talibans II” (2023), “Just Like Me” and “We Pray” (2024), “WGFT” (2025), and “Only You” and “Dai Dai” (2026).

Nollywood actress Beverly Osu has revealed that she once planned to become a Reverend Sister before eventually choosing a career in entertainment.

She made this known during an appearance on the Creativtea Podcast, where she spoke about her upbringing and early life influences.

According to her, she grew up in Lagos and lived in areas such as Surulere, Yaba, and Ojuelegba, which shaped her childhood experiences.

Beverly explained that she attended Daughters Of Divine Love Juniorate in Enugu, where she became serious about the idea of joining a convent.

She Said She Was Fully Convinced At The Time That She Would Become A Reverend Sister.

She Said: “I Was Meant To Be A Reverend Sister. I Wanted To Really Be A Reverend Sister. Now, I Am Doing God’s Work In Other Ways.

“I Love How They Dress. Because I Am Meticulous And Very Neat, I Just Loved How Clean The Priests And Reverend Sisters Were. Literally, That Was It.”

She added that her admiration for discipline, neatness, and structured religious life influenced her decision at the time, before she eventually transitioned into acting and modelling.

Reality TV star Tacha Akide has opened up about the deep influence her late mother had on her journey to success in entertainment and business.

Speaking in an interview with Daily Sun, Tacha reflected on how her upbringing shaped her career path and strong work ethic.

According to her, her mother was hardworking and prayerful, and continues to inspire her even after her passing.

She Said: “I Had A Very Hardworking And Prayerful Mother. Even Though She’s Late, I Always Feel The Need And Urge To Make Her Proud. If She Had The Same Opportunity I Have Right Now, She Would Do Everything I Have Done And Even More. That Is Why I Keep Being Me.”

Tacha explained that she often feels motivated to achieve more because of the belief that her mother would have done even greater things if she had similar opportunities.

The reality star also spoke about her growing ambitions in the beauty industry, revealing plans to launch her cosmetics brand, Tacha Beauty, around September.

She noted that her passion for makeup started at the age of 14 and has continued to develop over the years.
