​Reality star Queen Asoka recently shared the scary details of her secret body surgery. She admitted she hid the procedure from her family until a medical crisis occurred.

​This sit-down with Chude Jideonwo follows other viral talks on the show. It reminds many of when Chude’s rules for dating women made headlines recently. Queen explained that her surgery was not a sudden choice.

​A dream for the runway

​Queen wanted to be a fashion and commercial model for a long time. Her mother supported these goals and took her to contests in secret.

​Her lawyer father wanted his children to work in the legal field. Conflict erupted when he saw her in a phone advert at his office. The star felt she lacked the height and body for the fashion world.

​She decided to enhance her body. The star wanted to gain what she called a “selling point” for international work.

​”selling point,” the model noted.

​The smell of complications

​The surgery led to a health issue called fat necrosis. This issue left her feeling very scared and alone.

​Her story of family drama is similar to when Uju Anya ended her marriage and shared her reasons with Chude. The star hid in her room for days as her sister begged her to eat. On the second day, her sister forced the door open.

​The sister noticed a bad smell and saw fluid leaking from the surgery site. The discovery sparked a huge panic in the house.

​”I locked myself in my room,” she said.

​Her parents finally learned the truth about her secret surgery. Her family then helped her get the right medical care to fix the issue.

Gilbert Baci confesses crush: Brother reveals feelings for Hilda’s friend Karen

Gilbert Baci admitted to having a crush on Hilda Baci’s friend Karen during a “Drink or Spill” session on February 19, 2026. While the chef discussed the heavy price of fame and privacy, Gilbert shared his struggles with online trolls before confessing his past feelings for the offshore friend.

​Gilbert Baci recently sparked excitement among fans by revealing his past romantic interests. The social media influencer joined his sister Hilda Baci for a candid game with Pulse Nigeria.

​On February 19, 2026, the duo shared intimate details about their lives and careers. They participated in the popular “Drink or Spill” challenge. Players either answer tough questions or take a shot.

​Gilbert confesses Karen crush

​The session took a spicy turn when the host asked Gilbert about his romantic history. He did not hesitate to name a specific individual from his sister’s inner circle.

​”Yes I had a crush on Karen” Gilbert said.

​The influencer clarified that the lady in question currently resides outside Nigeria. Hilda looked surprised as her brother chose to spill the truth instead of taking a drink. Gilbert laughed while checking his sister’s reaction.

​”y’all are nosy God d—n Jesus I don’t want to hurt anyone” Gilbert shouted.

​The heavy price of fame

​Hilda Baci used the opportunity to reflect on her journey as a global brand. She spoke about the difficulties of living in the public eye after her world record cookathon.

​The chef admitted that the lack of privacy often weighs her down. This sentiment follows her recent public efforts, such as when Hilda Baci supported the Ochanya Ogbanje justice campaign with a significant donation. This philanthropic move cemented her status as a community leader.

“it’s just dealing with things and obviously just not getting privacy cuz everyone is in your business” Hilda noted.

​Relationship secrets

​She described these challenges as the unavoidable cost of her success. People often form opinions about her private matters without knowing the facts.

​The game grew more intense when the interviewer asked about Hilda’s romantic partner. The chef famously posted romantic boat date videos with dapper late last year. She refused to list the specific traits that make her partner a perfect catch.

​”She does so many things that I would rate 10 over 10 but I don’t want to tell you guys that” The star noted.

​Hilda chose to drink heavily to protect her private relationship details from the public. Gilbert also faced questions about his finances and bank balance.

​He joined his sister in drinking rather than revealing his private account statements. The siblings ended the session with laughs after Gilbert refused to name an “overrated” celebrity. He claimed that naming anyone would cause unnecessary drama.

“I’m giving him hell too”: Larissa London warns Davido amid Imade custody row

On February 16, 2026, UK-based makeup artist Larissa London took to Snapchat to address her relationship with singer Davido. Amid the singer’s heated custody battle with Sophia Momodu, London claimed she is also giving him trouble while slamming “male centred women” for harassing her over their shared son, Dawson.

​The Nigerian entertainment scene faced fresh drama on February 16, 2026, as Larissa London broke her silence. The London-based mother of one chose a chaotic moment to voice her frustrations with the father of her child.

​Her outburst coincides with a period of high tension for the “Unavailable” singer. ValidUpdates understands that the public reaction to his family matters prompted this rare social media display from the makeup artist.

​Larissa London vows to fight back

​Larissa used her Snapchat stories to send a clear message about her current stance with the music star. She dismissed the idea that she is staying quiet while other mothers of the singer’s children speak out.

​”Don’t worry I’m giving him hell too” ​Larissa London wrote this on her social media page to clarify her position.

​The timing of her statement is significant. It comes just as Davido withdrew his custody case against his first baby mama Sophia after a long legal struggle. Larissa seems determined to show that she is not a passive observer in the singer’s complicated family life.

​Star slams “male centred women”

​Beyond her issues with the singer, Larissa turned her anger toward female critics. She shared screenshots of messages from users who she claims have been harassing her through multiple social media accounts.

​”You created another page to ha—ss me again”

​The makeup artist shouted via her caption.

​She expressed deep disgust for women who prioritise men over the well-being of fellow women. This mirrors the tension seen when Larissa London celebrated Dawson’s second birthday and faced questions about the boy’s paternity. Larissa claimed that “male centred women” are dangerous and recalled being betrayed by close friends in the past.

​A call for privacy in family matters

​The mother of one urged the public to stop taking sides in matters they do not fully understand. She shared a message from a follower advising her to stay low-key and protect her “star son” from online negativity.

​”How can you have an opinion comment without knowing facts from BOTH sides… like c’mon”

​Larissa London noted while responding to a follower’s advice.

​She admitted to being a “child-like” person who gets attached easily, which has led to past trauma. This vulnerability comes years after Larissa London first shared photos of Davido to confirm the singer’s role in her son’s life. She concluded by asking fans to stay out of family matters and respect her privacy during this period.

​Queen Mercy Atang has sent a fiery message to her former partner Lord Lamba. The Big Brother Naija star reacted with anger after receiving a Valentine’s Day greeting.

​She shared a screenshot of the message on social media on February 15, 2026. This public outburst follows a period of intense personal change for the mother of one.

​A History of Conflict and Slander

​The drama began when Lord Lamba sent a private message expressing his continued affection. He claimed that despite their past fights, she remained the one he loved.

​”Hey baby, I know we’ve had our own share of fights and quarrels, but I want you to know I am not your enemy, never was and never will .. I don’t want to start talking about who’s right or wrong because it doesn’t matter. never forget I got you 💯 and after all this time? You’re still the one I love ❤️ Happy Valentine’s 🌹” the comedian wrote.

​Atang responded by recounting the pain she suffered during her marriage in 2024. She accused Lamba of spreading lies across multiple social media platforms to ruin her reputation.

​”Dear Ex, I don’t know if I should say ‘may t—der fire you’ or ‘may God forgive you.’ Remember 2024 when I got married? Remember the lies you spread about me on WhatsApp, Snapchat, and ig. Recruiting your friends, even people I’ve never met, just to drag my name. There was nothing you didn’t say,” she wrote.

​The star detailed her efforts to stop the harassment at the time. She contacted his employer and his family members to seek a peaceful resolution.

​”I called you and asked why. Instead, I left you for God to judge. I called your boss to please beg you to stop spreading lies about me. I was shocked it came from you. I called your brother who’s a good friend to my family. I cried and cried. You followed people that didn’t know me to drag my name to the mood 2024,” she added.

​This confrontation adds a new chapter to her dating history and past claims that have frequently made headlines. Atang seems determined to leave the past behind her for good.

​The Rejection of Love

​Atang confirmed that her marriage has officially ended in her recent post. She questioned if Lamba reached out because he thought she was vulnerable or desperate.

​”Now in 2026, you’re calling my sister asking for my contact? You want to apologize? Just retuning from the gym to check my dm. Dear ex mgs. You say you love me? As who bro? You love who? Me? As how? Or because I’m no longer married, you think I’m desperate for love? My brother, love is no longer in my dictionary oh, I’m no longer mumu lover girl I use to be ooh,” she declared.

​The reality star also clarified the timeline of their relationship to her followers. She noted that they first dated during their time at UNIZIK over a decade ago.

​”For the records fam, we dated in 2013 at UNIZIK. When it ended, it ended. Once you’re my ex, you remain my ex for life. I don’t play those stupid games,” she noted.

​Her firm stance comes shortly after she confirmed her single status following months of speculation. She appears focused on her personal growth rather than rekindling old flames.

Peller gets Dubai Bugatti offer from tycoon following iShowSpeed snub

​Story Highlights

On January 23, 2026, Dubai businessman Samy Du offered Nigerian content creator Peller a fully sponsored trip to the UAE. The package includes a visa, luxury accommodation, and a Bugatti drive, coming days after US streamer IShowSpeed publicly rejected collaborating with Peller in Lagos.

​Nigerian content creator Peller has secured a massive opportunity days after a public setback. A Dubai-based businessman offered him a fully sponsored luxury trip during a live stream on January 23, 2026.

​Samy Du promised to handle the visa and housing for the streamer. He also insisted that Peller would only drive a Bugatti during his stay in the United Arab Emirates.

​The luxury offer detailed

​Samy Du made the offer while chatting live with Peller on TikTok. He stated that he wants the Nigerian star to enjoy the best parts of Dubai.

​The businessman added that he plans to make Peller a bigger name in Africa. He dismissed the recent drama surrounding other streamers and focused on Peller’s future value.

​Peller reacted to the news with his signature high energy. He screamed in joy and ran into a large framed picture in his room before falling to the floor.

​A twist of fate

​This new offer arrives at a crucial time for the content creator. Fans had mocked him after US streamer ishowspeed explained why he rejected collaborations with him during a recent visit.

​The rejection sparked heavy debate on social media earlier this week. Peller previously detailed how IShowSpeed ignored him three times despite his grand gestures to welcome the American star.

​Samy Du referenced this incident indirectly during their call. He told Peller to forget about the past and focus on the luxury waiting for him in Dubai.

​Peller receives huge support

​The viral moment has shifted the narrative around Peller. Many fans now see this as a major win after the public snub in Lagos.

​Samy Du emphasized that African people love to support their own. He encouraged Peller to keep his head up and prepare for the trip of a lifetime.

​The streamer jokingly asked if he was dreaming during the call. He shouted to his mother and claimed he had “turned into Speed” before celebrating the news.

Mark Angel’s wife Mandy exposes him, alleges threesome demand, fake deadly illness

​Story Highlights

Mandy, the estranged partner of comedian Mark Angel, participated in a viral social media challenge on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, to reveal disturbing details about her past relationship. The content creator alleged that her partner requested a threesome on their wedding night, faked a terminal illness, and frequently body-shamed her after childbirth.

Image Credit: @markangelcomedy

​Mandy took to social media on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, to air grievances about her relationship through the popular “Put a finger down” challenge. The video features the content creator holding up her hand and lowering a finger for each toxic scenario she experienced with her partner.

​Observers were shocked as Mandy detailed incidents that paint a grim picture of her domestic life. She started by claiming her partner convinced her to have a threesome with a total stranger on their wedding night. The mother of one added that he asked her to tell the third party they were “just friends” to avoid making the stranger uncomfortable.

​Allegations of Infidelity and Gaslighting

​The revelations continued with specific claims about infidelity within their shared home. Mandy described a scenario where her partner invited a female friend over, claiming the relationship was platonic. She alleged that the pair disappeared into a room opposite their matrimonial bedroom, where she heard moaning sounds.

​Her partner later emerged sweating and insisted they were “just talking,” leaving Mandy questioning her own reality. These claims of gaslighting align with similar public disputes where private details surface online, much like the recent case where Imisi’s mum faces backlash over resurfaced family allegations.

​Body Shaming and Emotional Manipulation

​Mandy also opened up about the emotional toll of body shaming following the birth of her child. The influencer stated that her partner would stop intimacy midway, claiming he was not “feeling her body” anymore. He allegedly told her that her physique had lost its appeal since childbirth and suggested she undergo surgery to fix the issues.

​She further claimed he would mock her stretch marks and tell his friends she was a terrible cook, only to change the narrative when those friends visited. Such damaging narratives can deeply impact a public figure’s trajectory, a reality seen when assault allegation ruins career prospects for other industry veterans.

​Bizarre Deceptions

​The video concluded with even more bizarre accusations regarding her partner’s behavior. Mandy alleged that he once left their home at 4 AM to “save” an ex-girlfriend who was reportedly being beaten by a boyfriend.

​She also claimed he lied about having a deadly “internal disease” with only a few years to live. Mandy noted sarcastically that despite the grim prognosis given years ago, he remains alive and well today.

Chude Jideonwo opens up on why he never dates women who ask for money

​Story Highlights

On January 10, 2026, media personality Chude Jideonwo revealed he has never dated a woman who requested money from him. He shared that his first girlfriend, a single mother, actually gave him financial support despite his higher earnings, highlighting his preference for mutual contribution.

Image Credit: Instagram / @chudeity

​On January 10, 2026, media personality Chude Jideonwo sparked a fresh conversation on social media regarding financial expectations in modern relationships. The celebrated interviewer stated clearly that he has never been in a relationship where his partner asked him for money.

​Jideonwo explained that his dating history defies the common narrative of “billing,” a term often used to describe financial demands in relationships. He emphasized that his experiences have always centered on independence and shared value rather than dependency.

​A history of mutual support

​The media executive offered a specific example from his past to illustrate his point. He recalled his very first girlfriend, noting that she was a single mother at the time.

​According to Jideonwo, this partner frequently gave him money, even though he earned a higher salary than she did. This dynamic established a foundation of mutual care that he seemingly continues to value.

​His comments arrive at a time when public figures are increasingly challenging traditional relationship norms. Recently, discussions on dating preferences heated up after Tiwa Savage defends dating younger men and urged women to ignore societal judgment.

​Jideonwo suggests that financial support should flow in both directions. The interviewer noted that the woman’s willingness to give, despite her responsibilities as a mother, left a lasting impression on his view of partnership.

​Redefining relationship roles

​Critics and fans often debate who should bear the financial burden in a relationship. Jideonwo’s revelation points to a preference for partners who are financially self-sufficient or at least willing to contribute.

​He believes that a relationship thrives when both parties bring resources to the table. This stance separates him from the transactional approach some people take toward dating in the current social climate.

​Celebrity relationship dynamics remain a hot topic online, especially as fans analyze every interaction. The internet buzzed recently when Skyla sparks dating rumors with Seyi Vibez, showing just how closely fans watch the personal lives of public figures.

​Jideonwo concluded that his experience with his first girlfriend set a standard for him. It taught him that affection often shows itself through giving, regardless of who holds the bigger paycheck.

Priscilla Ojo rants after losing expensive jewelry to theft during wedding

​Story Highlights

Media personality Priscilla Ojo-Mkambala has revealed that jewelry worth millions of naira was stolen from her room during her recent wedding period. On January 7, 2026, the influencer shared photos of empty Van Cleef & Arpels boxes on Snapchat, lamenting the betrayal by a trusted associate who had access to her personal space.

Image Credit: Instagram/its.priscy

​Priscilla Ojo-Mkambala is currently counting her losses after discovering that valuable items went missing during her wedding celebrations. The media personality took to social media on January 7, 2026, to express her frustration over the theft.

​She revealed that a person she trusted with access to her room betrayed that confidence. The discovery occurred while she was organizing her closet, only to find empty jewelry cases where expensive pieces should have been.

​Discovery of empty boxes

​Priscilla shared a photo of several empty boxes from the luxury brand Van Cleef & Arpels on her Snapchat story. The influencer noted that the theft happened during the busy period of her wedding when many people had access to her personal space.

​She sarcastically invited the thief to return for the packaging since they had already taken the contents.

​”To whoever stole my Van Cleefs during my wedding period, you can also come and take the boxes oooo,” Priscilla wrote.

This incident adds a sour note to her recent celebrations, occurring just weeks after Priscilla Ojo opens up on relationship with father Ade Ojo after wedding.

​Betrayal by a trusted ally

​The pain for the media personality stems less from the monetary loss and more from the breach of trust. Priscilla explained that she realized the extent of the “wickedness” after finding the empty containers hidden away.

​”I just found the boxes while setting up my closet and realized how wicked the person I trusted to have access to my room could steal from me,” she stated.

​She admitted that her belongings were scattered at the time, making it easy for the perpetrator to operate unnoticed.

​Priscilla acknowledged her own carelessness in trusting too many people during the excitement of the wedding. ​”Careless of me to think I could trust everyone then. Lesson learnt, we move!” she concluded.

The Ojo family is no stranger to property disputes, as previously Priscilla Ojo says Juma Jux’s store was looted not burnt during a chaotic event last year.

​However, this specific theft hits closer to home as it involves a member of her inner circle. Priscilla has decided to move past the incident despite the significant financial value of the missing jewelry.
