Simi attracted nominations for the Most Popular Musician (Female), Most Searched Musician (Female), Most Popular Fandom (Music), and Most Popular Couple.

The feat makes Simi the most-nominated artiste for the second time in two seasons after her impressive six nods in 2021.

Davido and Burna Boy, like Wizkid, have also maintained an impressive grip on the global music space in the year under review, with three nominations each in the Most Popular Music Artiste (Male), Most Searched Music Artiste (Male); and Most Popular Fandom (Music) categories.

Other notable nominations include Mr Macaroni, Sabinus, Kiekie, Taaooma, and Broda Shaggi, who secured two nominations each for Most Popular Comedian and Most Popular Social Content Creator.

According to the owners of Nigerian Entertainment Today (Netng), this year’s edition features 35 categories, including 15 new voting categories that will give fans more power to choose their favourite celebrities for the awards.

Netng initiated NET Honours to recognise and celebrate Nigerians’ favourite celebrities and public figures who have contributed to shaping the most exciting pop culture topics and events in the year under review.

NET Honours debuted in 2013 as a special recognition award presented to deserving individuals in the Nigerian entertainment industry during the Nigerian Entertainment Conference (NECLive).

In 2016, it evolved into NET Honours People’s Choice Awards.

Due to the pandemic in 2020, the awards went virtual, reaching over 10 million people worldwide.

“NET Honours provides useful data on popular culture trends and the interests of urban youth in Africa.

“The platform is a valuable source of insights for brands, organisations and governments that are trying to understand young Africans and their digital media consumption habits,” says Femi Falodun, the CEO of Info Digital Africa (ID Africa), owners of Netng, Neusroom, 234Star, and Orin.

NET Honours focuses on recognising achievers in the entertainment industry through a thorough analysis of online audience search, consumer interest, social media interactions and search trends on Netng’s website, social media platforms and other related channels.

Data for the awards are based on audience engagement from a database of over 10 million internet users reached across Netng’s website and social media channels between June 2021 and May 2022.

This year, NET Honours has introduced 15 new voting categories for the first time in six years.

The new categories are Most Popular DJ, Most Popular Dancer/Video Vixen, Most Popular Music Producer, Breakout Artiste of the Year, Social Content Creator of the Year, Most Popular Video Director (Music Video/Skit), Most Popular Fandom (Music).

Others include Most Popular Fandom (BBNaija), Most Popular Celebrity Stylist, Most Popular Designer, Most Popular Photographer, Breakout Actor of the Year, Breakout Actress of the Year, Breakout Artiste of the Year (Male), and Breakout Artiste of the Year (Female).

Online voting for the 15 new categories will commence at 7 pm WAT on thenet.ng/honours, after the unveiling of nominees and will end by midnight on Tuesday, June 28.

US-based actor Chidi Mokeme is devastated over the death of his younger sister and a cousin within a few days.

The grieving movie star took to his Instagram page to announce the demise of his immediate younger sister, Ebele Mokeme Uche-Nwene, and cousin, Nicole Mokeme.

“It is with profound sadness that I share with you the untimely and unfortunate passing of my immediate younger sister Ebele Mokeme Uche-Nwene, who would have been 48yrs next month and My Cousin Nicole Mokeme, 35.

“While Ebele lost her battle to illness, Nicole was killed by a hit-and-run driver. May their spirit-filled souls rest eternally in the Lord, and I solicit your prayers for Ebele’s young twins, Nicole’s daughter, our family, my mum, Nicole’s parents, and the loved ones and friends they left behind.

“I’m compelled to share this information because Nicole’s killer is still out there on the loose. The Maine State Police, and the Maine Department of Public Safety are in search of the hit-and-run vehicle described as a 2016 black BMW X3 SUV with Maine license plates 5614WM and is registered to 35yr old Raymond Lester of Portland.

“The Police are asking for the public’s help in locating the vehicle. If you see the vehicle, or have any reliable information, please call the Maine Police Department immediately.”

‘Wahala’ musician Portable has warned blogs to cease from spreading false narratives about him.

Few days ago, the Police in Ogun State asked singer Portable to report for questioning over inciting violence or risk being arrested after being seen in a viral video asking his hangers-on to mercilessly beat up his former associate DJ Chicken.

The musician, in the video, placed a hand on the shoulders of his estranged associate and accused him of sending a message to his wife advising her to send boys around Portable away.

Insisting he isn’t ‘wanted’ by the authorities, the “Zazu” crooner warned bloggers, particularly echoing the name of one, to stop spreading fake news about him.

One post held the caption: “On my way back from IG Zone 2 Police office ZAZU Federal Government Liability… stop spreading fake news nothing like ZAZU is wanted.”

Stressing on the matter, the father of two who recently married his babymama on the occasion of his second child’s christening added: “Stop spreading fake news about me
Enough is enough. To those blogger carrying my fake news please be warned.”

Controversial social media personality Blessing CEO has compared social media to a game.

Talking about the interactive digital channels, Blessing CEO said individuals must master the act of fine-tuning it to achieve their desired purpose at every point in time.
The self-acclaimed certified and relationship expert, well-known for her controversial point of views on issues, recently underwent a liposuction procedure to enhance her butt and further boost her self-confidence.

Though she has been in the news a couple of times one major event which brought her to limelight was a house scandal in 2019.

Social media was agog when the relationship blogger claimed ownership of a house that wasn’t her leading to an arrest by the owner, Onye Eze.

In the viral video that made the rounds, she was handcuffed while on her knees, begging for forgiveness, confessing the house didn’t belong to her but Onye Eze.

In 2021, Blessing CEO was again dragged by a popular blog, alleging the house she planned to unveil on Christmas day wasn’t hers.

The blog alleged she was fronting for the real owner who happened to be a married security personal and her baby daddy.

Following her liposuction procedure, the mother of two who is still recuperating in a new post via her Instagram page said this current act is sure to distract her critics from discussing about her house any further.

According to her: “At least, they will now leave Blessingceo house and face liposuction. Remember, you hold the remote.

“It’s your story and narrative, just pick the pen and write it. Noise makers will always read it.

“Just give them a topic and focus on the subject (you) that birth the topics.

“Social media is a game you master how to play. Period. So lovers back to work.”

Napoli and Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has tipped lovers on how to avoid being served ‘breakfast’ (heartbreak).

The forward, who’s very active on his social media pages, particularly Twitter, dishing out quotes which many find inspirational and amusing, argued a drama-filled relationship will always head for the rocks.

He said regardless of how much one is loved by their partner, they will exit the relationship if the individual is too problematic.

“Always Remember That The Right Person Will Leave You If Your Wahala Is Too Much,” he tweeted.

Reacting, many tweeps affirmed Osimhen’s assertion but a few insisted the right person would manage their lovers ‘wahala’ despite its magnitude.

@zubbyifeaka tweeted: “So true, nobody wants extra stress.”

@jayythedope said: “She’s replaceable and that’s fact.”
