According to Nigerian artist Tiwa Savage, she brushed her teeth about six times before a kissing scene in her first movie, “Water & Garri,” took place.

Tiwa Savage said that she did this hygiene step to seem professional on set.

In a recent interview with BET, she disclosed this information.

She explained that the kissing sequence was scheduled for her first day on set, and it was her responsibility to make sure her co-star felt at ease during their fleeting moment of intimacy.

She said, “The first day on set, I had my kissing scene. I am glad it was my first day because I just went right into it. I remember in my dressing room, I brushed my teeth like five, six times because I was like I needed to represent”.

The singer-turned-actress went on to say that showing consideration for her co-star was important since it could potentially change the vibe of the entire set.

Tiwa, who portrayed the movie’s main lead character Aisha, claimed that her co-star Andrew Bunting, who portrays Kay, also followed suit by repeatedly washing his mouth.

Tiwa Savage was grateful for all of the cast’s kindness and support, which helped to make her first day on set which was highlighted by the kissing scene comfortable.

Meanwhile, “Water and Garri” has had the greatest weekend debut ever for Prime Video Nigeria, garnering the most streaming of any title on the platform.

Autopsy reveals drug reaction as a possible cause of Mohbad’s death

According to the autopsy report on the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known by his stage as Mohbad, a drug reaction may have contributed to his death.


The autopsy and toxicology results from the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, according to The Cable, pointed to a potentially lethal anaphylactic shock or drug response as the reason for Mohbad’s demise.

Anaphylactic shock is a severe allergic reaction that can be life-threatening.

The report states that samples of the late singer’s blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lung were taken by the hospital for a toxicology test.

The report was said to have showed traces of Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, in the late singer’s blood system.

Antihistamines are drugs used to treat allergies, stomach problems, colds, and anxiety, among other conditions.

The autopsy report was, however, said to have revealed that the concentration of the drug was not fatal or lethal to harm or lead to his death.

The anatomical and pathological tests also revealed an injury on Mohbad’s right forearm and moderate to severe decomposition of his body, which was exhumed eight days after burial.

However, no significant gross findings could be attributed to his death, according to the report.

The report reads, “It is noteworthy that the body neither had an autopsy nor embalmed prior to interment on the second day.

“Following the Order for Exhumation, the body was exhumed on 21/09/2023 (8 days after the burial).

“Autopsy revealed moderate to marked decomposition of organs. Apart from the superficial injury on the right forearm, no significant gross finding could be attributed to death.

“Against this background, samples were taken for toxicology. This is to determine if there was any anaphylactic reaction, substances of abuse, overdosage or common household poisoning.”

The autopsy report highlighted the importance of timely blood sampling to determine fatal anaphylactic shock, which was not possible in this case due to Mohbad’s burial on the second day.

It added, “Toxicology revealed positive findings of Diphenhydramine, an anti-histamine; however, this concentration was not in a fatal or lethal range. The other analytics were unremarkable.

“In determining fatal anaphylactic shock, a blood sample needs to be taken as quickly as possible.

“Unfortunately, this was prevented or made impossible by the burial of the deceased on the second day. In the light of the foregoing, the cause of death could not be ascertained.

“However, the possibility of a fatal anaphylactic shock (drug reaction) could be considered in view of the absence of any significant post-mortem and toxicology findings.”

Mohbad, a 27-year-old artist formerly signed to Naira Marley’s record label, Marlian Music, passed away on September 12, 2023, under controversial circumstances that sparked widespread debate.

In response, the Lagos State Police Command established a 13-member special investigation team on September 18, 2023, to investigate the death.

The incident led to the arrest of Naira Marley, Balogun Eletu (also known as Sam Larry), and others.

Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, professionally known as Tems, has revealed that she has never been in love.

The 28-year-old songstress asserts that she does not think love is something a person experiences mindlessly but purposefully and with open eyes.

She pointed out that choosing to be in love is a deliberate choice made without being blind.

According to Tems, people may erroneously confuse infatuation for love. She hasn’t yet had this intense affection for someone, in her opinion.

She said, “I haven’t been in love. Loving someone for me is more of ‘I see you and I still want to be in your life. Even though you annoy me sometimes, I choose you and I choose you.

“I would like to be in love, to experience something deep but really real not blind. I don’t believe that love is blind, I think if you really love someone you’re loving them with your eyes open

“I feel like people get infatuated, and they call that falling in love. If you’re blind, that is not love. Love is when you’ve seen the person, their yansh is open and you’re like ‘I still want it. I still want that.’ I want someone to see my goods and be like, ‘Yeah, give me some of that.”

Never think you are dealing with poor people – Family of deceased 3-year-old to Lil Win

In their pursuit of justice, the family of a three-year-old boy killed in an accident involving well-known actor Kwadwo Nkansah, also known as Lil Win, has threatened to take legal action.

A family member cautioned in an interview with Angel FM that although the victim did not come from a poor family, they should not be taken for granted.

“He thinks he is dealing with a bunch of poor people… we have taken this matter very seriously. Some utterances by his PRO (Public Relations Officer) led a presenter to caution me against being paid off, and I told him that everyone who knows our family in Kumasi knows that we are not destitute or hungry people.

“If you look at the Nyarko Towers where we live, that is just a small place we have rented in town, we travel home on weekends,” said an uncle of the deceased.

“So if they think they are dealing with some weak people that they can bully, they should be careful,” he added.

Lil Win was granted GH¢50,000 bail with two sureties by the Asokore Mampong District Court following his arrest on Monday, June 3.

Lil Win was arrested shortly after being released from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital by Manhyia Divisional Command’s Motor Traffic and Transport Department officers.

The actor’s car was involved in a recent accident that unfortunately claimed the life of a three-year-old kid, which is why he was arrested. The incident had left the child’s family demanding justice, but because of Lil Win’s condition, the police waited off on making the arrest.

Margaret Adjei-Twum, Lil Win’s lawyer, argued in favor of bail, pointing out that her client needed more care due to injuries, including internal bleeding.

She gave the court her word that Lil Win, as a well-known person, would follow the law.

The judge granted bail and postponed the case to June 27, 2024.
