In a recent development in London, Myra Carvalho, a Brazilian national, has been sentenced to 14 weeks in prison for inundating British pop star Harry Styles with a staggering 8,000 cards within a single month. This incident was confirmed by court officials at Harrow Crown Court, where Carvalho pleaded guilty to charges of stalking that caused “serious alarm or distress.”

Alongside her prison term, Carvalho has been slapped with a 10-year restraining order, prohibiting her from attending any event involving Styles or contacting him. This order extends to certain areas of north-west London and mandates Carvalho to pay a victim surcharge of £134.

According to court proceedings, Carvalho, who arrived in the UK in December, operated from a backpacker hostel in south-west London. Her fixation with Styles drove her to send handwritten letters and purchase online cards, which were directly delivered to his residence. Notably, some of these correspondences included wedding cards, with two letters even being hand-delivered.

This case underscores the persistent problem of celebrity stalking, echoing a previous incident in 2019 when Styles was harassed by a homeless individual named Pablo Tarazaga-Orero. Styles has openly discussed the psychological toll such encounters have taken on him, prompting him to bolster his home security and personal safety measures.

This development underscores the UK courts’ firm stance on stalking and harassment, underscoring their commitment to safeguarding individuals’ privacy and well-being.

Nigerian afrobeat superstar David Adedeji Adeleke, who is professionally known as Davido, disclosed that he is already working with Canadian rapper Drake as he revealed his dream collaborations.

In a recent appearance with The Fade Show on US radio, he made this revelation. Davido named a few well-known foreign musicians when asked about his ideal collaborations.

Before revealing that he is already working with Drake, he mentioned performers he would want to collaborate with, including Harry Styles, Rihanna, Drake, and Ed Sheeran.

He also hinted at a collaboration that was supposed to be on his latest record-breaking album Timeless; it is, however, unclear with which artist it was.

There is also an unsubstantiated claim floating around the internet that Drake was intended to be on Timeless and will be on the deluxe edition, which Davido and his crew have yet to confirm.

Watch Davido discusses working with Drake and his ideal collaborations in the video below:

Meantime, Davido has stated that Canadian rapper, Drake, helped in putting the global spotlight on Afrobeats.

The DMW boss said this while answering questions in an interview with Bootleg Kev Podcast, published on Tuesday.

He said, “There are always narratives like, “Oh, Afrobeats was definitely huge before Drake” but Drake is Drake, so I’d be lying if I said he didn’t put some spotlight on Afrobeats, and you know it was dope.

“He has made some dope records,” the singer added.

American singer-songwriter Taylor Alison Swift is about to fill another blank space on her resume with a career-celebrating prize at the iHeartRadio Music Awards which will be held later this month and will feature performances by Kelly Clarkson, Keith Urban, Pat Benatar, Hugo Long, Cody Johnson, Coldplay, and Pink, who is the winner of this year’s Icon Award.

According to organizers, Swift will receive the Innovator Award on March 27 in honor of her widespread influence on popular culture.

“Along with her artistic success, Taylor’s generosity and philanthropy have inspired millions,” iHeartRadio said in its announcement. “She’s an advocate for women’s rights and the LGBTQ+ community, using her music and platform to inspire young people to use their voting power.”

The 33-year-old Swift is a 13-time winner at the iHeartRadio Music Awards and released her tenth album, “Midnights,” in October. With seven nominations, she is tied for the most at this year’s awards, including artist of the year and song of the year for “Anti-Hero.”

• Taylor Swift makes history on the Top 10 of Billboard Hot 100
• Taylor Swift, others make Billboard Top Paid Musicians of 2020
• Taylor Swift reportedly set to release new music with Drake.

Previous winners of the Innovator Award include Pharrell Williams, Justin Timberlake, and Alicia Keys.

Pink will also get the Icon Award during this month’s gala in recognition of “her effect on pop culture, longevity, and continuous relevance as a touring and radio powerhouse with a passionate fan base worldwide,” according to organizers.

Known for hits such as “Get the Party Started” and “Lady Marmalade,” Pink has released nine albums during a career spanning more than two decades.

During the Los Angeles Dolby Theatre’s award ceremony, Pink will perform with Coldplay, Kelly Clarkson, Keith Urban, and Pat Benatar.

Harry Styles and Lizzo, who equalled Swift for the most nominations with seven each, were two other prominent nominees at the iHeartRadio ceremony. Together with Drake, Beyoncé, The Weekend, Jack Harlow, Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, and Dua Lipa, they are also contenders for artist of the year.

Nigerian singer and songwriter Stanley Omah Didia, known professionally as Omah Lay, has prompted reactions from fans after his NPR Tiny Desk performance emerged on social media.

Omah Lay’s struggles onstage reopened the discussion about a persistent problem in Nigerian music, where even the greatest musicians sometimes provide poor live performances.

The “Godly” hitmaker is not the first Nigerian musician who has had difficulty at NPR Tiny Desk. Recall Naira Marley and Zinoleesky’s disastrous performance of “O’dun” from Naira Marley’s debut album, “God’s Timing Is The Best,” at NPR.

Harry Styles, Usher, T-Pain, Alicia Keys, and many more international superstars have all performed on the renowned platform Tiny Desk.

• AG Baby delivers outstanding performance at NPR’s Music Tiny Desk

Tiwa Savage, Burna Boy, Fireboy, Tems, and more Nigerian musicians have all performed at Tiny Desk.

It might be important to keep in mind that NPR Tiny Desk does not permit the use of voice augmentation software (autotune), which is one of the reasons some musicians have found it difficult to execute powerful performances.

Due to Omah Lay’s awful voice, a video of his NPR Tiny Desk performance was shared on social media on Tuesday, February 28, 2023, and this caused comments from fans.

The singer performed ‘Soso,’ from his debut album ‘Boy Alone,’ with the help of a backup band with whom he was not in rhythm.

Fans who tried to reconcile his gruff vocals with the flawless tune they all adore labeled the performance as awful.

During a historic evening in Los Angeles, Beyonce became the most-awarded artist in Grammy history.

Beyonce, who now has 32 trophies overall, became the most-awarded artist on Sunday night, the 5th of February, after taking home four awards.

The performer, who arrived late to the ceremony due to traffic, took home awards for best traditional R&B performance, best dance/electronic album, best dance/electronic recording, and best R&B song.

She is the musician with the most awards in history thanks to her 32 Grammy wins.

“I’m trying not to be too emotional,” the 41-year-old said on stage after winning the record-breaking prize for dance/electronic album. “I’m trying to just receive this night.” She also paid tribute to both her “beautiful husband” and the “queer community for their love and for inventing the genre”.

The entrepreneur, who was born in Houston, Texas, has also become the musician with the most nominations, 88, in history, and she could be announced tonight as the ultimate winner of the gramophone, surpassing luminaries such as Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, and Aretha Franklin.

Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, widely known as Tems on Sunday night clinched her first Grammy award. Tems, who collaborated with Drake on Future’s song “Wait for You,” received the award for best rap melodic performance. Additionally, the song received a nomination for Best Rap Song.

With his album of the year wins for Harry’s House, Harry Styles received the biggest Grammy of the evening.

“I’ve been so, so inspired by every artist in this category with me,” he said winning out over Beyoncé and Adele. “I think on nights like tonight it’s so important to remember there is no such thing as best in music … this doesn’t happen to people like me very often.” He also won the award for best pop vocal album.

Burna Boy, Tems, and Wizkid have all been featured on Billboard’s 100 best songs of 2022 list.

Tems secured the ninth slot on the list, which was revealed on Wednesday, with her song “Free Mind.”

‘Free Mind‘ is a tune from the Nigerian vocalist’ debut seven-track extended play (EP), ‘For Broken Ears,’ which will be published on September 25, 2020.

Even though the song was released in 2020, according to Billboard, its “unflappable” production makes it deserving of the list.

“The production, courtesy of Tems and Omeiza, remains unflappable despite the stressful themes, carrying her on a wave right up to the closing bridge, where the beat drops out and she finally reaches calm waters,” Billboard wrote.

The song has continued to receive massive recognition in both the Nigerian and international music space since its release. In July, ‘Free Mind’ debuted at number 90 on Billboard Hot 100.
