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.

In an interview with Hip TV, Erigga noted that every year, some of his colleagues leave the music industry due to various circumstances.

However, he said he can’t quit because music is his life.

The rapper emphasised that his passion for music supersedes the financial and social benefits.

“Every year, people leave music for real-life issues. But I can’t stop. Music is life. It’s what keeps me going. Take the business and everything out of it, it’s more of a passion. I can’t disappoint my fans,” Erigga said.

Afrobeats singer, Tiwa Savage has denied allegations of sabotaging other female artists in the music industry.

She challenged those accusing her of sabotaging her colleagues to mention their sources and come forward with evidence.

Recall that a few years ago Kenyan singer, Victoria Kimani, accused Tiwa Savage of indirectly blocking her from performing at several shows.

Reacting in a recent episode of the Offair Show, Tiwa Savage explained that she was being wrongly accused of sabotaging the chances of other female artistes to get bookings, claiming that show promoters could be lying to other artists using her name.

“If you’ve heard from anybody that I tried to block your bag, mention names. Maybe the promoters are lying and using me, maybe they don’t want to book three, four girls. So, they claim I am the one blocking others,” Savage said.
