Chris Hughes, the former Big Brother housemates of Love Island, and JoJo Siwa, the singer and actress, recently shared a cozy night out.
Fans have been given an insight into JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes’ relationship this week. It comes after the former Celebrity Big Brother housemates reunited just a few days ago when JoJo made her awaited return to the UK.
JoJo, 22, and Chris, 32, have continued to update fans on their relationship following reports last week that they were seen kissing in Mexico. There had already been much speculation over their relationship in recent weeks after they grew close whilst in the Big Brother house last month. This week, they have given fans a glimpse at what they have been up to together following JoJo’s return to the UK. Chris took to Snapchat this morning to reveal that they were watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? together.

He posted several clips of them watching Sunday night’s episode of the ITV show. The footage centred on the million pound question, which faced contestant Nicholas Bennett, who made it all the way to the final question on the quiz show.
Which of these phrases, each coined by a well-known author, was derived from the title of a fairy tale about three princes? Pandamonium, serendipity, utopia, and yahoo were the response options that were given to him.
Chris declared, “This is the million dollar question,” in his opening video. He still has two lifelines. This is incredible. JoJo teased Nicholas by saying that she and Chris “must” get the right response before continuing to make comments.
Nicholas ended up choosing “yahoo” as his response after using his remaining two lifelines. However, it was discovered that “serendipity” was the correct response. Chris said “s***” when JoJo responded by saying “no” when Chris said “s***”!
Chris continued to share the response of one of his followers, who wrote, “Told ya! Serendipity ! You and Joelle met in that manner. “Serendity” ! He provided a definition for the word, which read, “The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.”

The former Love Island star read out the message he had received from the fan to JoJo – whose first name is Joelle. JoJo said: “And that was the million dollar question.” She added: “That’s really cute.” Chris agreed, commenting: “Really is.”
Chris had teased JoJo that he was cooking a meal just before those posts. Later, he shared a picture of a table with their meals, one with a lit candle next to their bowls and a vase of roses on the side.
JoJo told fans earlier today, “I’ve genuinely never had anything better,” despite appearing to post about the same meal. And she later wrote, “Longggg day on set made worth it for this,” in addition to a clip of Chris cooking in the kitchen.

JoJo also paid tribute to Chris in a Q&A on Instagram tonight. When asked to share her “favourite thing” about him, the former Dance Moms star said: “Gosh lots of things, but the first thing that comes to my mind is the way he treats everyone.”
She continued, “Strangers, friends, family, me, literally everyone. Nobody has ever acknowledged everyone in the room as openly as he has always. Everyone greets you, and everyone answers, “How are you doing?” He is a beautiful, beautiful soul.

The government should implement effective mechanisms to safeguard artists’ work and combat widespread music piracy, according to Nigerian singer Harrysong.
The Afrobeats star made the call on Thursday during the Youth Forum segment of Channels Television’s special program to celebrate President Buo Tinubu’s second year in office.
Key players and government officials addressed issues in fields like education, health, business, and the creative industry with the theme “Pressing Issues Affecting Nigeria’s Youth.”
Harrysong, who spoke on the topic of the creative sector, argued that open dialogue between policymakers and experienced industry players is essential to solving these issues during a panel discussion.
“The government must work with those who are knowledgeable about the industry.” I think we will advance if we can have that conversation and they are willing to address the issues, he said.
The “Reggae Blues” singer stressed the importance of a strong organizational structure to ensure accountability and transparency in the sector.

He remarked that it becomes challenging to reinvest profits locally or to hold lucrative concerts in Nigeria without such systems.
We require a system lock to control both what enters and exits. We can sell the tickets if we can protect the music. However, he continued, “We can’t recoup investments or plan shows confidently” if the songs were stolen.
Artists Rely On International Platforms Despite Struggle
Due to the prevalence of music piracy, Harrysong lamented that many Nigerian artists are unable to generate revenue from their local fan bases, leading many to look for employment abroad.
You’ll hear musicians complaining that our citizens don’t buy tickets the majority of the time in Nigeria.
People outside the country pay to pay for the music, subscribe, and stream it. However, the sound is being hacked by our home-based citizens. You don’t even receive the money you paid for that song, he said.
The singer cited the transparent revenue models of platforms like iTunes and Spotify, which artists frequently rely on to make money in nations like the United Kingdom.
You’ll be able to see how many people are purchasing the music when you check your iTunes backup from London, the UK, and other countries. Nigerians here, on the other hand, make an effort to avoid paying extra for the same song. He said that’s where piracy comes in.
Nigeria’s music industry, particularly the Afrobeats style, has long had a significant international following, with several local stars dominating international charts and stages.
However, there is a price for this rise in notoriety. Numerous Nigerian artists are now shifting their music’s focus to international markets where more money can be made from their music thanks to better digital infrastructure and copyright protections.
Selling out global venues like the O2 Arena in London has become the new standard of success for artists like Asake and Wizkid, with some sayings more impressive than playing live shows there.
However, the Lagos State Government made the announcement in 2024 that a 12, 000-capacity entertainment arena would be constructed by December 2025 in an effort to reverse this trend.
Eric Gugua, a content creator, has called for an end to this menace in the country by criticizing the ongoing harassment by security agents.
Gugua is a Nigerian digital author, blockchain expert, and educator known for his engaging content and ability to make sense of complex technical concepts.
The Head of Research at Trendx wants the government to address the issue of harassment during a youth forum on Channels Television with the theme “Pressing Issues Affecting Nigeria’s Youth.”

He said, “Cospirators go through a lot of things in terms of protection.” This space is still expanding, they say. Policies that specifically take people in this area into account must be put in place in terms of protection. We need to know that the government is more than just rolling out initiatives and making promises in that way.
A time has come when we realize that the government is interested in creating digital content and influencers. They are subjected to harassment whenever they go out to shoot content. He asserted that if it were coming from law enforcement, it would be from the local population.
Devaluation of the Naira
Niyi Akinmolayan, a filmmaker from Nollywood, attributed the devaluation of the naira to the devaluation of the naira.
The guest filmmaker on the program claimed that the main reason the streamers left was due to the program’s decision to devalue the naira. He also attributed blame to the government for ignoring the effects of these streamers’ withdrawal.
We as filmmakers simply woke up and saw emails from the big streamers who had left the Netflix and Amazons and who were unaware of some of these changes, such as the government’s concern that these aren’t just some random companies, the government is aware, the government taxes these people, how come the government isn’t even aware of some of these changes?
“Typically, people will make movies because they are aware of the existence of a future revenue stream, but that has vanished. The government didn’t take any action to warn people that the reason they left was largely due to the devaluation of the naira and the fact that paying the price they were paying for the license became a big deal, according to Akinmolayan.
After Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Punjab Kings by eight wickets in a lopsided qualifier to reach the 10-team final, Virat Kohli edged closer to winning his first-ever Indian Premier League title.
Bengaluru were only 102 short of the required score for Sunday’s final due to their bowlers’ outstanding performance on Thursday, which gave them just 10 overs before opener Phil Salt, who led the charge with a score of 56 not out.
If Punjab can defeat Mumbai Indians’ Eliaser on Friday in the final, the team can still advance to the final.
Kohli has been Bengaluru’s top scorer this season, scoring 12 goals.
Since the league’s inception in 2008, the former India captain has been a part of the franchise. In 2009, 2011, and 2016, Bengaluru made it to the finals, but they each lost in three of those three games.
Salt remarked, “It’s a great feeling right now.” We had a second bite of the cherry, of course, but it’s a great feeling to get that out of the way first.
Simply put, it gives us that momentum. At the tail end of the tournament, it’s a cliche, but it’s so true.

Bengaluru have shown themselves to be formidable this year.
Their fiery pace attack, led by a returning Josh Hazlewood, bundled out Punjab in 14.1 overs.
At the halfway point of their innings, Hazlewood led Bengaluru’s superb pace display, which saw them defeat Punjab to 71-7.
Rival skipper Shreyas Iyer was one of Hazlewood’s (3-21) victims, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar took Prabhsimran Singh’s most notable wicket this season.
Suyash Sharma, who claimed 3-17 in his final three overs, sent leg-spinner Marcus Stoinis to make 26 before losing his stumps.
In their six powerplay overs, Bengaluru jumped to 61-1 in the fourth over, a 48-4 victory for Punjab, with Salt striking boundaries almost at will.
