American Pop Super Star, Lady Gaga, says she has quitted smoking.

She disclosed this while dropping her first solo single and video in nearly three years after she release last.

The single, titled `Stupid Love’, was released at midnight on February 28, in a return to her eighties electro-dance pop glory.

In “Stupid Love,” the star sang about unwillingly wanting love; the music video opens with dramatic music and a card that reads, `The world rots in conflict’.

The pop superstar, 33, opened up about her forthcoming album and one of her personal demons she’s been battling for years while promoting her new song later in the day.

“I’m not smoking anymore, but I’d smoked 40 cigarettes all day long,’ she said during an interview on New Music Daily with Zane Lowe on Apple Music.

The star was last seen smoking as recently as February 18.

She then tried to use her personal experience as a serial quitter to deter fans and listeners not to pick up cigarettes.

“If you don’t smoke, don’t smoke! Because quitting is worse and brutal.

“I will never smoke again because I think I saw Jesus for an entire week.

“This was very emotional for me making this album and I cried constantly and I was writing poetry constantly,’’ Gaga said.

According to her, “I put all my heart, pain and messages from the other realm that I hear into music; I want people to dance and feel happy.

“I will like to put out music that a big chunk of the world will hear, and it will become a part of their daily lives and make them happy every single day.”

The upcoming album will be her first solo effort since 2016’s `Joanne’ which leaned on country and soft rock elements.

Born Stefani Germanotta, Gaga is considered one of the world’s best-selling artist.

She has 11 Grammy awards over her career dating back to her debut album `The Fame’ in 2008, which was reissued the following year as The Fame Monster.

During the podcast interview on The Honest Bunch, Waje also disclosed that the father of her daughter denied responsibility and abandoned her after getting her pregnant as a teenager.

She added that he later came back to apologise but never assume responsibility for their daughter despite her obliging to his demand for a DNA test, which he never showed up for.

Nigerian actor, comedian, and activist Adebowale Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has debunked a rape allegation against him.

An X user with the handle Lukurawa16703 accused the activist of raping a minor and allegedly using the Nigerian police to bully the victim and her family into silence.

“This guy actually raped a 17-year-old girl and used police to oppress her family. Now he’s an activist?,” the X user wrote while reposting a tweet of Mr Macaroni criticising President Bola Tinubu administration over the escalating insecurity.

Reacting, Mr Macaroni said he was only addressing the post because of how “horrendous and distasteful” the accusation is.

He claimed that his accuser was a support of President Tinubu and the ruling APC, stressing that the allegation was a “propaganda” against him for holding the government accountable.

He threatened to take legal action against the individual behind the account to serve as a deterrent to others. He called for help for relevant information about the individual that can help him take necessary action against him.

Mr Macaroni added, “This tweet also serves as an opportunity to strongly refute this ridiculous accusation and any other kind from the infested supporters of the APC because I expect their disease to continue to spread as I won’t stop criticizing this abomination of a government!”

Popular rapper and activist, Folarin Falana, aka Falz, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to resign over his inability to tackle the escalating insecurity in the country.

Reposting a tweet made by Tinubu on 6 November 2014, demanding for the resignation of then President Goodluck Jonathan over terrorism, Falz stated that the President has remained unwilling to protect the lives and property of citizens despite pretending to care in the past.

“You have consistently shown your unwillingness to protect the lives and property of our people despite pretending to care in the past. Resign now!,” he wrote.

The escalating insecurity in Nigeria, especially jihadist violence against Christians, has attracted more international attention recently.

Speaking at a UN event on Tuesday alongside the US ambassador to the United Nations, Michael Waltz, Nicki Minaj called for urgent action against the persecution of Nigerian Christians.

She called for peace, unity and freedom of worship. She also appreciated US President Donald Trump for speaking up for Nigerian Christians.
