Nigerian singer Davido discloses how his billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke, still gives him money despite the huge income he makes from his music career. Speaking during a podcast, Davido shared that his father once sent him $300,000 after attending one of his shows in Atlanta. He said: “I mean, if I tell you that my dad doesn't give his kid money, I'll be lying to you. Of course, my dad gives me a check. I'm his baby. But musically, over time, you do spend money on music, but I make a lot of money from music. It's really my music money I use for my music, promotion, and stuff like that, like touring. For example, I did the arena in the UK, the O2, and I think we're going to the stadium next in London. My dad came to my show at State Farm in Atlanta, and the next day, he just called me and said, ‘Ah, my son. Amazing show. Good job. Good job.’ He wired me $300,000. Thanks, Dad.” Photo credit: davido/Instagram

Nine years in prison. For gang rape. Robinho no longer serves them in Italy, but in a Brazilian cell. The events go back to 2013, in a Milan nightclub. A 22-year-old Albanian woman. A group of men, including the AC Milan striker. Italian justice would establish a group sexual assault. Wiretaps, in which the player comments on the night, would weigh heavily at trial. Robinho contests. Appeals. Loses. The nine-year prison sentence is upheld all the way to Italy's highest court. But the man had gone home. To Brazil. And the Brazilian Constitution bars the country from extraditing its own citizens. For years, the former star believes himself out of reach, shielded by a border. The victim waits. Italian justice keeps pushing. Eleven years separate the night in Milan from the cell. Eleven years for a conviction to become real. In 2024, everything shifts. The Brazilian courts agree to enforce on home soil the sentence handed down in Italy. A tribunal signs off. Robinho, once the jewel of Real Madrid, an idol in the stands, is taken to prison in his own country. The kid from Santos who once made the Maracana dream. The striker who wore the shirts of Real and Milan. The same man, now behind bars. He thought going home would save him. Home ended up judging him.

It's been five years since Antoine Griezmann returned to Atlético Madrid and it's got us remembering the 'Antoine Griezmann curse' 😳👻 He spent time at Atletico Madrid and Barcelona during the 2015-2021 period, but didn’t win a single LaLiga title. Meanwhile, the clubs collectively were crowned champions five times 🤯🏆 Surely he's not really cursed... right 😮🪄

MY 16-YEAR-OLD SON STOLE MY DEAD MOTHER'S DIAMOND RING AND SOLD IT — but when I tracked down where the money went, I nearly fainted. That ring was the only thing my mother, Regina, had left me. I never took it off unless I was cleaning it. Since my husband, Julius, died, I'd kept one secret from my son, Moses: how scared I really was about money. Then a hospital letter arrived. A follow-up mammogram. I hid it under the bin and told myself I'd deal with it after payday. I didn't know Moses had already seen it. He started acting strange. Coming home late. Phone facedown. Barely eating. I thought grief was catching up with him. I WAS WRONG. On what would've been my mom's birthday, I opened the velvet box to wear her ring. It was GONE. We tore the room apart. I searched everywhere. Then I asked him straight out. "Did you take it?" "No," he said. But when I grabbed his laundry basket, a pawn slip fell out of his hoodie pocket. It described my mother's ring. A second paper fell beside it — a payment confirmation, made out in MY name, toward my medical imaging. My son had taken my mother's diamond ring. He'd sold it. He'd used the money ON ME. I marched into the shop, shaking, and slid the receipt across the counter. "You bought a stolen ring from a small boy," I told the owner, Mr. Philip. "The boy said his mother knew," he said. His mother was standing right in front of him. I followed the payment trail straight to the medical office — where I found Moses at the front desk, arguing with the receptionist, trying to authorize MY OWN appointment. "Mom," he said, freezing when he saw me. I held up the receipt. Tears filled his eyes. "I know what it looks like," he said. "But you weren't deciding anything. You were throwing the paper away." "I watched Dad get weaker while everyone told me he was fine," he said. "Then one morning he was just GONE." I stopped breathing. "I couldn't lose you too," he said. "Not because of money." My hands went cold around the crumpled receipt. He'd broken my trust to save my life — and I had no idea if I could ever get either one back. The ending of the #legitconfessions story in the first comment ⬇️

South African DJ and producer DJ Maphorisa has weighed in on the long-running debate over Nigeria and South Africa’s influence on Amapiano.🇳🇬🇿🇦 Speaking to veteran South African DJ Oskido on ‘I Believe, Chapter 9,’ Maphorisa pushed back against the idea that Nigerians “stole” Amapiano, saying, “That conversation is dead. There’s nothing like that.” He explained that South African artists also played a role in bringing Nigerian artists into the sound through collaborations, pointing to songs like Sponono with Davido as an example. Maphorisa also praised the way Nigerian artists approach the music business, describing them as “very smart” and “very aggressive.” For him, the conversation should be less about who owns the sound and more about collaboration, learning and taking African music further. 🎥: IG/ibelieveclips #africanfolder

Brentford defender Michael Kayode, known for his powerful throw-ins in the Premier League, decided to reveal the gender of his future baby with a throw-in. Kayode took a ball and launched one of his trademark long throw-ins toward the goal. As it crossed the goal line, pink fireworks and smoke were set off, announcing that they are expecting a girl. The gesture combined his identity as a footballer with a very emotional personal moment, which made the reveal widely discussed and go viral on social media.

Somalia is preparing to reintroduce the Somali shilling after 35 years of not issuing new domestic banknotes, aiming to regain monetary sovereignty. The issuance of new currency comes as battered Somali shillings are increasingly rejected by businesses and as Somalia faces tighter international aid and security challenges. Parliament is reviewing laws for a Currency Board, and the central bank is finalizing regulations for reserve management and foreign exchange. Similar to Zimbabwe's recent efforts to restore its own currency, Somalia must not only release new notes but also rebuild public confidence, all while international support, especially from the US, is being reduced.

Three burglars in the Netherlands made the ultimate mistake when they tried to rob the home of former MMA world champion Melvin Manhoef. Knowing he was meant to be away on a media trip in Paris, the thieves even left paper markers under his door to confirm the house was empty. But after being alerted to the plot, the protective father skipped his trip and quietly returned home to wait for them. When the suspects showed up and realized the legendary striker was standing right there, they panicked and fled in their getaway car. Manhoef didn't even pause to put on shoes. Sprinting out in his casual sports slides, he jumped into his car, chased them down, and rammed them off the road. He then marched up to the vehicle, smashed the driver-side window with his bare hand, dragged all three men out, and placed them under citizen's arrest. By the time the police arrived, the terrified burglars were on their knees, and Manhoef was calmly standing over them in his flip-flops surrounded by shattered glass. As they all sat on the ground, Manhoef gave them men a life lesson, saying: "Listen, do something with your life, but not this, man. Don't steal from people. I know life is hard, but don't do this."

In 2015, Dolly Parton wrote and recorded a special song called “My Place in History.” Instead of releasing it to the public, she placed it inside a chestnut “Dream Box” at Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. The box was created as a tribute to her uncle and mentor, Bill Owens, who was a chestnut tree conservationist. Dolly filled the box with several meaningful items from her life. Inside are a copy of her 2012 book Dream More, a piece of wood from the porch of her childhood home, handwritten song lyrics, and a letter written to people in the future. She also included a CD player so the song can still be played when the box is finally opened. Dolly wanted the box to remain sealed until January 19, 2046. That date would have been her 100th birthday. She spoke about the unusual plan during an appearance on *The Kelly Clarkson Show* in 2022. Dolly joked about whether she would live to see the day the box was opened. “I don't know if I want to live to be 100 or not. But you never know. I might, and if I do, I'm going to be at that opening,” she said. Dolly passed away on August 25, 2026, at the age of 80. However, the plan for the Dream Box has not changed. The song will remain locked away until January 19, 2046, when the box is scheduled to be opened, regardless of whether Dolly is there to hear it.

A Brazilian scientist spent more than 40 YEARS working on a way to help crops grow without relying so heavily on expensive synthetic fertilizer. Her solution? Bacteria. Dr. Mariangela Hungria developed biological treatments using beneficial soil bacteria that help plants access nitrogen from the AIR. Normally, farmers have to supply huge amounts of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer to crops. But these microbes can convert atmospheric nitrogen into forms plants can actually use. The result has been massive. Her technology is now used across tens of millions of hectares in Brazil. Some bacterial treatments can cost just a few dollars per hectare, compared with roughly $30 to $50 for conventional nitrogen fertilizer. The World Food Prize estimates her work saves Brazilian farmers around $25 BILLION every year. It also prevents roughly 230 MILLION metric tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions. And after four decades of research, Hungria was awarded the World Food Prize for helping transform Brazilian agriculture. She spent 40 years studying microscopic bacteria. They ended up saving farmers billions.

Manchester United have fallen foul of Premier League kit rules after one game of the season. The Old Trafford outfit went into the current campaign without a sleeve sponsor, following the expiration of a £20m per year deal with DXC Technology which dates back to 2022. However, Premier League rules dictate that clubs without a sleeve sponsor should display the competition’s badge on both arms. And eagle-eyed observers have pointed out that United did not comply during their opening day defeat at Hull City, with one sleeve left blank. While both the Premier League and United declined to comment, Daily Mail Sport understands that the club was given a polite reminder of the rule. #ManUnited #MUFC #OldTrafford #PremierLeague #PL

Officers were ready, and arrests were made without major incidents. Police quietly mailed “free Super Bowl tickets” to wanted criminals, and 101 arrived to collect them. 🎟️🚔 In 1985, authorities carried out a clever operation designed to capture wanted individuals without force. Letters promising free Super Bowl tickets were sent out, inviting recipients to claim their rewards. The setup appeared harmless, but it was carefully planned as part of a wider enforcement strategy. When the day arrived, dozens of suspects showed up expecting tickets, unaware they were walking into a controlled situation. Officers were ready, and arrests were made without major incidents. The approach showed how planning and psychology can be used effectively in law enforcement operations. The story is often remembered as an unusual but effective tactic that avoided direct confrontation. It highlights how creative thinking can sometimes lead to safer outcomes, especially when dealing with individuals who might otherwise avoid traditional methods.

THE FAIRY TALE IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE✨ Valdas Dambrauskas was never a professional footballer. He didn’t even come close. He was just a student in Lithuania when he appeared on 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' with a very clear plan: to raise enough money to travel to England and study Sports Science. With what he won, he settled in London, went through the academies of Manchester United, Fulham and Brentford, and in 2007 made his coaching debut in England’s ninth tier. Almost twenty years later, at 49, he is in charge of Azerbaijan’s Sabah FK, a club that didn’t even exist a decade ago but was about to experience its best days. He led them to League and Cup titles, oversaw a historic comeback from 4-0 against the Danish side Aarhus, and on August 25 took them into the Champions League league phase for the first time. Now they could face Real Madrid or Barcelona 🔥

In 1958, a U.S. Air Force B 47 accidentally dropped a Mark 6 nuclear weapon near the Gregg family's home in Mars Bluff, South Carolina. Fortunately, its nuclear material was stored separately aboard the aircraft, making a nuclear explosion impossible. But the bomb still contained conventional explosives, which detonated on impact. The blast created a crater roughly 70 feet across, devastated the Gregg property, and injured six family members, though none seriously. The family later appeared on I've Got a Secret with one incredible secret: an atomic bomb had fallen on their home. #HistoryTidbits #ColdWar #AmericanHistory #NuclearHistory

Vinícius was once again in the news for all the wrong reasons 🚨 Espanyol fans hounded him with whistles throughout the match, and Real Madrid had to grind out a 2-1 win. But the harshest blow didn’t come from the stands: it came from a radio studio. Santiago Cañizares, a former Real Madrid goalkeeper, delivered a line that set social media ablaze: “What he gives you football-wise compared to what he takes away from you. You know what was happening? Nobody wants him". According to him, no club came asking about the Brazilian this summer, not even to test the waters, and at most a "lesser" team like Newcastle would have shown interest. The accusation hits exactly where it hurts most: Vinícius has just signed a contract extension with Real Madrid through June 2032, after a year and a half of negotiations. For Cañizares, that renewal wasn’t a reward for his talent, but the only option left for the club, “Nobody wants a player like that at their club,” Cañizares declared.

A historic building just 650 feet from the White House was sold for $8.4 million to a foundation led by Chinese businessman Philip Qiu, raising national security concerns. Qiu previously worked as a detective with Shanghai’s Public Security Bureau and has held senior roles in groups linked to China’s United Front system. Security experts warn the building’s location could create opportunities for electronic surveillance or monitoring of communications near sensitive U.S. government facilities. However, there is currently no public evidence that the property is being used for espionage or any hostile intelligence activity. The purchase has sparked calls for greater government scrutiny, with national security advocates urging authorities to examine whether the property should face additional safeguards.

High school dropout James Dacombe just became Europe’s youngest billionaire. At 25-years-old, he’s the founder of Olix, an AI chip maker that was valued at $3.3 billion this month. With an estimated 30% stake in the company, Dacombe’s fortune skyrocketed, too, making him a newly minted member of the three-comma-club at a roughly $1 billion net worth. The Under 30 alum started the London-based AI chip manufacturer two years ago, betting AI is becoming far too complex to rely on a one-size-fits-all chip approach.

Malawi’s DNA tests reveals 80% of paternity tests involving men who suspect infidelity show that the tested man is not the child’s biological father.🇲🇼 The figure comes from DNA testing facilities in Malawi. According to reports by Malawi’s Nation and Nyasa Times, two testing providers said they were seeing similar patterns in their results. This is raising concerns around paternity disputes, child maintenance, and the emotional impact on families. However, the 80% figure applies to men who seek paternity testing, not to all men or fathers in Malawi. #africanfolder

José Salvador Alvarenga set out from a small fishing village in Mexico in late 2012, expecting to be back within two days. He never made it back on schedule. A violent storm struck his small boat shortly after he and his 22-year-old crewmate, Ezequiel Cordoba, left shore. The storm destroyed their engine and radio, leaving them adrift with no way to navigate or call for help. What began as a routine fishing trip turned into a fight for survival that would stretch on for over a year. With no food supply to speak of, Alvarenga and Cordoba survived by catching fish, turtles, and birds with their bare hands, eating them raw, and drinking rainwater along with their own urine when nothing else was available. Cordoba's body could not sustain the ordeal. He died roughly four months into their drift, reportedly after refusing to eat raw meat, leaving Alvarenga alone on the boat for the rest of the journey. Alvarenga continued drifting across the Pacific Ocean for months afterward, entirely alone. In January 2014, after approximately 438 days at sea, his boat washed ashore roughly 6,700 miles from where he started, on a remote atoll in the Marshall Islands. Local villagers who found him described him as nearly unrecognizable, severely malnourished, with matted hair and a swollen body from the prolonged exposure and starvation. His survival made international headlines, but the story did not end with his rescue. Cordoba's family later filed a lawsuit against Alvarenga seeking one million dollars, alleging that he had killed and eaten their son to survive rather than allowing him to die naturally. Alvarenga has consistently denied the allegation, maintaining that Cordoba died from natural causes brought on by their extreme circumstances.

United States returns 48 ancient Egyptian artifacts to them from three historical eras. The FBI handed the artifacts to Egyptian officials during a ceremony in Los Angeles on Friday, August 21. The collection includes carved figures, jewellery, statues, amulets, funerary objects, tomb equipment and ancient inscriptions dating from three major periods of Egyptian history, the Pharaonic, Roman and Coptic eras. The FBI said an investigation found that all 48 objects originated from Egypt and had no record of being legally removed from the country. The return is part of ongoing US-Egypt cooperation on protecting cultural heritage. #africanfolder

In 2008, Jennifer Fitzgerald’s ex-boyfriend, Brandon Preveau, purchased a 1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo for $600 and registered the vehicle under her name without her knowledge. Following their breakup, Preveau drove the car to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and abandoned it in an employee parking lot. Because the car sat untouched for nearly three years, Chicago parking authorities continuously slapped citations onto the windshield instead of towing it right away. Fitzgerald was caught in a bureaucratic nightmare, she didn't have the keys or paperwork to legally access or remove the car, yet she was held entirely responsible for the tickets. By the time the story made headlines, the vehicle had racked up 678 tickets, ballooning her debt to an astounding $105,761.80. The massive bill led to her driver’s license being suspended and her state tax refunds being seized. After a lengthy court battle, a settlement was finally reached in 2013. The city towed the abandoned Chevy, dismissed the overwhelming majority of the debt, and ordered Preveau to pay a reduced fine of $4,470, finally clearing Fitzgerald’s name and bringing the saga to an end. #Parking #thehistoriansden

For most of his life, Jackie Chan believed his parents were exactly who they appeared to be — quiet, ordinary people. The truth turned out to be something closer to one of his own action movies. One day, while his father Charles was driving him in the car, he suddenly turned to Jackie and said, "Son, I'm old. I might sleep and never wake up. I have a secret to tell you." What followed left Chan stunned: his father revealed he had actually been a spy, working for Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government during the Chinese Civil War in the 1930s and '40s, before fleeing to Hong Kong to escape the Communist takeover. Then came an even bigger surprise — his mother, Lee-Lee, hadn't just been a quiet homemaker either. In Shanghai, she had smuggled opium and built a reputation as a formidable underground gambler, all while raising two daughters on her own after her first husband was killed in a Japanese bombing raid. Here's the twist that sounds like it belongs in a movie: Charles and Lee-Lee actually met when he arrested her for dealing opium. Even the family name wasn't what Jackie thought — his father revealed their real surname was Fong, not Chan. Chan was so struck by the revelation that he commissioned a 2003 documentary, Traces of the Dragon: Jackie Chan and His Lost Family, to tell his parents' full story. "I was very shocked," he later admitted — and honestly, who wouldn't be, finding out in your 40s that your parents' love story started with a police arrest and a double life.

Arthur McDuffie: The Case That Changed Miami On December 17, 1979, Arthur Lee McDuffie, a 33-year-old Black insurance executive and former U.S. Marine, was riding his motorcycle in Miami when police pursued him after he ran a red light. What happened after the pursuit became one of the most consequential police-brutality cases in Miami's history. McDuffie eventually stopped and, according to testimony from officers who later cooperated with prosecutors, surrendered. Several officers then beat him with nightsticks and heavy Kel-Lite flashlights. He suffered catastrophic head injuries and fell into a coma. He died four days later. But the story didn't end with the beating. Investigators uncovered an attempted cover-up. Officers initially reported that McDuffie's injuries came from a motorcycle crash. But evidence presented during the investigation showed something very different. Officer William Hanlon testified that he drove a patrol car over McDuffie's motorcycle. Investigators also found that the pavement had been deliberately altered to create the appearance of a crash. McDuffie's watch was reportedly thrown into the gutter to help manufacture evidence of an accident. The medical evidence contradicted the original police account. The medical examiner concluded that McDuffie's severe injuries were caused by blows from long, heavy objects rather than a motorcycle accident. Four officers were ultimately tried in Tampa. On May 17, 1980, an all-white jury acquitted them. A fifth officer received a directed acquittal. A former officer who later faced federal civil-rights charges was also acquitted. The verdict triggered massive unrest in Miami. The violence lasted for approximately three days, leaving 18 people dead and hundreds injured, with property damage estimated at more than $100 million. McDuffie's family later reached a settlement with Dade County for $1 million. More than four decades later, Arthur McDuffie's case remains a defining chapter in Miami's history a story about police violence, an attempted cover-up, the justice system and the consequences of a verdict that shook an entire city.

Seven convictions since 2023, every one of them a misdemeanor. That is why he kept walking out. Jeff Kufi Asare, 26, was arrested in Oklahoma City on August 1 after several women reported sexual assaults. A judge found probable cause and set bond at $50,000. Three days later the jail received a release instruction from police and he walked out: prosecutors had filed no charges, because two of the four women could not be identified and the other two could not be reached. Five hours later he was arrested again, over two reports at a downtown park. A judge set another $50,000 bond, another release instruction arrived, and he was out by the afternoon. Two days later, on August 12, firefighters saw a man restraining a woman on the Lake Hefner Trail and called police. Asare was booked on a first-degree rape allegation. This time prosecutors filed charges, asked the court to raise the bond to $75,000, and began revisiting the two cases they had dropped. He has been in custody since. Court records show at least 18 Oklahoma County dockets since 2023 and seven convictions, all of them misdemeanors.
