US rapper Nicki Minaj detained over soft drugs

US rapper Nicki Minaj has been detained at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport on suspicion of possessing soft drugs, Dutch media reported Saturday.

The singer was due to perform a show in Britain later Saturday and posted images on social media of her being questioned by officials.

Police confirmed to AFP that they had detained a 41-year-old American woman but declined to confirm directly that it was Minaj.

“We never confirm the identity of a person in custody but I can confirm we have arrested a 41-year-old woman suspected of trying to export soft drugs to another country,” Robert Kapel, a military police spokesman, told AFP.

“The interrogation is still ongoing,” Kapel added.

The rapper posted on X that authorities told her they had found cannabis in her luggage, which she said belonged to her security personnel.

“Keep in mind they took my bags without consent. My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him,” she wrote on X, referring to marijuana joints.

“Now they said I have to go five mins away to make a statement about my security to the police precinct,” she said. “It’s to try to make me late so that they can write negative stories.”

A common misconception outside the Netherlands is that dope is legal in the country, home to world-famous coffee shops (which actually sell pot) that are a huge draw for cannabis smokers.

The consumption of small quantities of cannabis is technically illegal but police choose not to enforce the law as part of a “tolerance” policy in place since the 1970s.

Transporting the drugs to another country is illegal.

Tuface ignores mother’s call, spotted shopping with Natasha

Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, better known as 2Baba, has sparked further discussions about his relationship with Natasha Osawaru, Deputy Majority Leader of Edo state House of Assembly.

This comes amid concerns from the singer’s family regarding his whereabouts and his involvement with the lawmaker.

A now-viral video shows the pair casually browsing hair products, just days after reports emerged that 2Baba’s family had filed a petition with the Department of State Services (DSS), claiming he had gone missing.

His mother, Rose Idibia, also made a public appeal, urging Natasha to distance herself from the singer, especially since his divorce from Annie Idibia has not been finalized.

The mother, who claimed that her son may not be acting in his right senses, urged the lawmaker to remove the “beads you put on his hand and on his neck”.

“My son is going through a divorce process, and he is clearly not in his right senses now. I know my son well. That is not him.

“Please Natasha, the beads you put on his hand and on his neck, remove them and free him.”

The new video circulating on social media showed the singer and the lawmaker casually shopping for hair products together.

The controversy follows another viral video from Thursday, in which 2Baba was seen proposing to Natasha.

He was filmed presenting the lawmaker with a ring and sealing their love with a long, tender embrace.

Newstrends reports that Natasha is the granddaughter of billionaire Gabriel Igbinedion.

She is a politician and member of the Edo State House of Assembly representing the Egor Constituency under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The lawmaker was elected in April 2023 and is from the Egor Local Government Area of Edo State.

Nedu quits ‘The Honest Bunch Podcast’ amid growing controversy

Popular media personality, Chinedu Ani, popularly known as Nedu, has announced sudden departure as host of ‘The Honest Bunch Podcast’.

The development comes on the heels of a public feud with former friend, VeryDarkMan, who accused him of being a “kiss and tell” man on social media.

In a statement, Nedu said the past week had been tumultuous, with unfounded accusations and relentless attacks taking a personal toll on him.

Despite his commitment to fostering honest conversations, he said he felt compelled to step down as host, hoping his exit would bring an end to the negativity surrounding his name and allow the podcast to continue thriving.

He wrote: “The past week has brought a lot into perspective for me. Hosting The Honest Bunch Podcast has been an incredible journey—one built on open conversations, bold perspectives, and the willingness to tackle difficult topics.

“But with that responsibility has come an overwhelming level of scrutiny, antagonism, and unfounded accusations that have now begun to take a personal toll.

“In light of recent events, I have made the difficult decision to step away from the podcast. This is not a decision I take lightly, but one I believe is necessary—for my peace of mind, for my family, and for the integrity of the show itself”.

He continued: “I have always been committed to honest conversations, but when those conversations lead to relentless attacks and misrepresentation, it becomes clear that stepping back is the best path forward.

“I sincerely hope this decision brings an end to the negativity surrounding my name and allows The Honest Bunch Podcast to continue thriving. I remain committed to fostering dialogue in ways that encourage meaningful engagement and growth, and I look forward to new opportunities that align with that vision.

Tuface’s mother begs Natasha to let her son go (Video)

Mrs Rose Idibia, the mother of Nigeria’s popular artiste, Innocent Idibia, aka Tuface, has called on Ms Natasha Osawaru, Tuface’s new heartthrob who recently accepted his marriage proposal to free her son.

In a video by one Becky Madojuemu on her Facebook page, Tuface’s mother is seen comfortably seated in her sitting room imploring the Deputy Majority leader of the Edo State House of Assembly and granddaughter of Chief Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion, the Esama of Benin to hands off her son.

Tuface’s mother stopped short of saying that Natasha had charmed her son, as she appealed to Nigerian women to beg the Edo lawmaker to free her him. She then asked Natasha to remove the beads she put on her son’s hand and neck and free him.

According to her, Tuface is going through divorce process and is not in his right senses. “I know my son. This is not him,” she maintained.

She said:

Good evening Nigerians. My name is Mrs Rose Idibia. This message is for Ms Natasha Osawaru from Edo State.. I am calling on all mothers in Nigeria to help me beg her to free my son. My son is going through divorce process and is clearly not in his right senses now. I know my son. This is not him. Please Natasha, the bead you put on his hand and on his neck remove them and free him.

That Tuface’s mother is coming out with this appeal on Valentine’s Day is significant enough. Recall that the highly -talented artiste is embroiled in a messy divorce process with his estranged wife, Annie Macaulay, who, according to sources is currently facing mental health challenges.

No sooner had the news of the divorce gone viral, with many Nigeria’s taking sides with either Tuface or Annie, than Tuface was seen in a video with Natasha.
Tuface himself confirmed his amorous relationship with the Edo-state born lady when he appealed to Nigerians to beg Natasha to marry him.

This triggered a flurry of reactions, as many accused Natasha of being a home breaker and the cause of the collapse of the marriage between the muscian and Annie.

But the Afrobeat star came out in another video to defend his new lover, saying she had nothing to do with the collapse of his marriage, as he described her as “a young, brilliant, amazing woman.”

Tuface said: “Hon. Natasha has been dragged, she has been called all sorts of names, she has been labeled as a home breaker.

“She is a young brilliant amazing woman and she had nothing to do with what is happening between me and Annie in our marriage.”

He continued, “Yes I love her, she is amazing, she is cool, I want to marry her.”
