Temi Ajibade’s Swan-Themed Baby Shower Was Straight Out of a Fairytale
Temi Otedola Ajibade’s baby shower photos dropped on June 20, 2026, and the internet still hasn’t been able to get over it. The actress and model, who is expecting her first child with husband Mr Eazi, hosted a swan-themed celebration that had everyone talking.

The celebration featured swan-inspired details, including an invitation illustration and the words “Please join us in celebrating Baby Ajibade” set the tone before guests even arrived. Inside the venue, swan-shaped cookies, swan dessert figurines, and a layered cake sat on a dessert table filled with swan-inspired details. White box keepsakes were arranged in neat rows for guests, and champagne coupe glasses were stacked on a silver tray. The decor carried the swan theme throughout the celebration.

The colour story was soft and gentle. Sage green walls, muted drapery, ivory table linens, and light wooden chair made the setting calm but rich. L’Oréal Paris gift boxes tied with white ribbon bows appeared among the celebration details, adding a beauty touch to the occasion. Temi has been connected with the brand since becoming its first-ever African Digital Ambassador.
DJ Cuppy and Tolani Otedola were both present, and Temi’s post caption said it all: “Bebe, Your Aunty’s Love you Deeeeep.” Mr Eazi joined the celebration, with clips from the event showing the couple together.

Temi and Mr Eazi got married in 2025, with celebrations held across Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland. In May 2026, the couple announced their pregnancy through a maternity shoot on Instagram, with Temi captioning it: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” The couple continues to prepare for the arrival of their first child.

DJ Cuppy Explains Why She Cannot Marry a Nigerian and Reflects on Her Past Relationships.
DJ Cuppy has opened up about her views on marriage, explaining why she does not see herself marrying a Nigerian and sharing how her past dating experiences have shaped that opinion. She made the remarks during a recent podcast appearance, where she spoke candidly about the difficulties she has faced while trying to build genuine relationships.
According to her, one experience in particular changed the way she approaches dating. She recalled that a former partner appeared more interested in meeting her father, businessman Femi Otedola, than in getting to know her as a person. Reflecting on that encounter, she suggested that her family background and public profile can sometimes make it difficult to determine whether someone’s intentions are sincere.

During the conversation, DJ Cuppy said she could not imagine marrying a Nigerian, linking the statement to the experiences she had in previous relationships. She also noted that her father is not focused on who she eventually chooses as a partner, but would like to see her settle down and build a family. While speaking about marriage, she referenced the relationship between her younger sister, Temi Otedola, and singer Mr Eazi, expressing happiness for the couple.
Her comments add to a series of reflections she has shared over the years about love and companionship. In earlier interviews, she admitted that dating as a public figure can be complicated because wealth and social status often become part of the conversation before a genuine connection has been established. In previous interviews, she has spoken about wanting a partner who values her for who she is rather than her family background and public profile.
DJ Cuppy has also been open about how her priorities have changed. During an appearance on The Zeze Millz Show, she revealed that she now prefers a quieter lifestyle and would rather date someone with a regular nine-to-five job who stays away from social media. The shift, she explained, comes from a desire for simplicity and stability rather than constant visibility.

DJ Cuppy, originally known as Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, has spent more than a decade building a career as a disc jockey, producer and philanthropist. Despite her success in entertainment, conversations about her personal life have continued to attract public interest because she has chosen to speak openly about the realities of finding a partner while living in the spotlight.
Her latest remarks have generated discussion because they touch on issues that extend beyond celebrity culture. Her comments have generated discussion online, with supporters and critics offering different views on whether personal experiences should influence opinions about marriage and relationships. While some readers may disagree with her conclusion, her comments reflect a broader conversation about how personal experiences can influence the way people view marriage and long-term commitment.

Ayra Starr Is the Cover Girl for Schön Magazine
Ayra Starr secured another major feature, this time for Schön! 50. The Mavin Records star fronts the magazine’s latest digital issue, shot by Cody Lidtke with styling from Dominick Barcelona. Her hair was done courtesy of Dijah Slayy and Opus Beauty using GHD, while Uhh Jean and Opus Beauty handled makeup with Pat McGrath products.

In a social media post promoting the cover, the magazine described Ayra as someone redefining what it means to be a global star, picking up awards, breaking barriers, and pushing Afropop into higher spaces. Billions of streams, sold-out shows, yet she stays exactly who she is. That, the magazine says, is the whole point.
In the interview, Ayra talked about the way people try to box Afrobeats artists into one sound. “People genuinely try to put Afrobeat artists in a box,” she said. “Music is free. Music is for everybody.” She also got real about who she’s actually making music for, explaining that she makes music for confident women, people who have always known they were different, and that people listen to her music to feel good.

It’s difficult to argue with the numbers either. “Rush,” her 2021 breakout, has crossed hundreds of millions of streams, and her overall catalogue now sits above 7 billion streams worldwide. She’s worked with the likes of Wizkid and Tyla, and her name keeps showing up wherever Afropop is being talked about on the global stage. From Cotonou to international charts, her rise has coincided with growing global attention for Afropop artists.
The timing of this cover isn’t random either. Ayra just dropped her new single “Tornado” on June 12, the lead single off her coming album “Starr Girl,” due August 14. Produced by Skillies, Shizzi, and RiotUSA, the track carries the now-quoted line, “Inflation, I’m the price they wanna beat.”

Before it officially dropped, it was previewed during her NPR Tiny Desk performance, and at a listening party for the single, she stepped out in an outfit topped with a Sego gele.
