Dolly Parton’s music is seeing renewed interest in Nigeria following the country music icon’s death on August 25, with two of her classic songs appearing on Spotify Nigeria’s Daily Top Songs chart for the first time in her career.
“Coat of Many Colors” debuted at No. 126 with 40,086 streams, while “Jolene” entered at No. 155 with 36,015 streams.
Parton also made her first appearance on Spotify Nigeria’s Daily Top Artists chart, debuting at No. 42.
The chart appearances come after Parton died at 80 following a brief battle with cancer. Her death prompted an international outpouring of tributes and renewed attention to her catalogue, including songs that have remained influential across generations.
Released in 1971, “Coat of Many Colors” is one of Parton’s most personal songs, drawing from her childhood and her family’s financial struggles. “Jolene,” released in 1973, became one of her signature songs and has since been covered and reinterpreted by artists across different generations and genres.
Their appearance on the Nigerian chart highlights the renewed reach of Parton’s catalogue following her death, extending beyond the country music audience that made her a global star.
Nigerian singer Siraheem, born Raheem Okoya, has announced his decision to stop releasing new music, describing the move as a “professional exit” from the music industry.
The singer shared the announcement in a statement on Wednesday, reflecting on a musical journey that began as a hobby with his friends before becoming a professional pursuit.
“My career began simply; music was a hobby I made with my boys as a means of bonding and connection before it was anything else,” he wrote.
According to Siraheem, balancing music with his other commitments has become increasingly difficult over the past year. He said he no longer feels able to give music the “effort, patience, and dedication” it deserves.
“So I owe it to my true fans, and to my colleagues in this industry, a professional exit. I have decided to stop putting out new music,” he said.
Siraheem’s music career included songs such as “Bad Bitch Syndrome” and “Credit Alert”, as well as collaborations with artists including Teni and Bloody Civilian. “Bad Bitch Syndrome Part II”, featuring Teni, Bloody Civilian and Deto Black, was released in May 2026.
His decision comes as he continues to balance music with his corporate responsibilities. Siraheem is an executive director at Eleganza Industrial City Limited, the company founded by his father, billionaire industrialist Razaq Okoya. Earlier this year, he discussed the difficulty of managing both careers, describing the executive role as demanding while also pursuing music.
Despite stepping away from music professionally, Siraheem said his creativity is not going anywhere. He plans to explore other creative fields and return with new ventures.
“The ‘Siraheem music’ era may be closing, but the creative in me is still hungry for new challenges,” he said.
He also revealed that he has an unreleased album recorded over the past year, which he considers some of his best material yet. While he has decided against putting out new music for now, he suggested the project could still be released in the future.
“Music still remains therapeutic for me,” he wrote. “With time, maybe the album finds its way into the world somehow after all.”
Siraheem thanked the fans, colleagues and supporters who invested in his music career, saying he was grateful for the opportunity to pursue the dream.
For now, the singer appears to be closing the music chapter while leaving the door open to whatever comes next.
Poco Lee’s team has denied reports that the Nigerian dancer is facing allegations of drink spiking in the UK.
In a statement on Tuesday, the team said “drink spiking” does not form part of the allegations or charges before the court and urged the public to disregard unverified reports.
Poco Lee, whose real name is Iweh Pascal Odinaka, is currently facing a UK court case over separate allegations. He is due to appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court on September 15, 2026.
His team stressed that the allegations remain unproven and that the case should be allowed to proceed through the legal process.
Meeting your favourite artist can be surreal. For one Ayra Starr fan, the moment apparently required a little physical verification.
During Ayra Starr’s “Starrgirl” fan signing pop-up in Camden, London, a fan shared a TikTok showing herself embracing the singer before pinching her.
Ayra immediately winced in pain, seemingly caught off guard by the unexpected pinch, while the fan appeared to be confirming that the singer was, in fact, real.
The interaction has since made its rounds online, turning what was already a memorable fan encounter into a particularly funny one.
Ayra was in Camden for the “Starrgirl” fan signing, with footage from the event showing her meeting fans and signing copies of her latest album.
The Camden appearance forms part of the rollout for Starrgirl, Ayra’s third studio album, which was released in August 2026. The project continues the singer’s evolution from the breakout success of “Rush” into one of Afrobeats’ most recognisable young stars.
For this fan, though, meeting Starrgirl wasn’t quite enough. She needed to make sure the Starrgirl in front of her wasn’t a very convincing hologram.
And apparently, a pinch was the best way to find out.
