Why Ekene Umenwa left husband to kneel before Moses Bliss – MC at couple’s wedding reception explains
The multi-talented MC, comedian Deacon Famous, has explained why actress Ekene Umenwa kneeled down in front of gospel singer Moses Bliss. Recall that gospel musician Moses Bliss showed up unexpectedly at Ekene Umenwa’s wedding celebration. Hundreds of friends, relatives, and coworkers attended the lavish wedding that Ekene and her filmmaker husband, Alex Kleanson, planned. In a video posted on his Instagram page in response to the criticism, MC Deacon Famous stated that he personally invited the gospel singer to surprise Ekene at the wedding. He acted on her request to have a gospel and worship leader serenade her, her spouse, and the guests.

Photo source: Instagram The comedian underlined that Ekene often listens to Moses Bliss, one of her favourite gospel artists and that Moses Bliss has a special place in her heart. That’s precisely why, overcome with excitement, she hurried to kneel before him. He explained that the ordained gospel pastor who attended Ekene’s wedding offered anointing and spiritual presence, which is what motivated the singer to bow instead of her celebrity status. According to Deacon Famous, Ekene bowed down to honour God and give a prayer. He sent a little video clip as proof, refuting the rumours that she left her spouse behind to welcome the musician. Her spouse is seen in the video with her as they both kneel before the singer and engage in a moment of prayer together. He was adamant that Ekene did not do anything improper when she kneeled before the singer, emphasising that a number of other event attendees had also done the same to show their devotion during Moses Bliss’s performance. He was baffled as to why her deed had caused such a stir. The MC went on to say that the actress wanted to make her wedding reception a spiritually uplifting event so that she and her spouse could ask God for blessings as they started their married lives.
Why I suddenly left Davido’s record label
DMW’s former first lady, Liya, has finally shared her reason for suddenly exiting the record label headed by Davido. In a recent podcast interview, Liya, known as DMW’s first lady, she opened up about her departure from the record label. Despite releasing notable tracks like “Lakiriboto” and “Melo” during her time with DMW, she felt that her career wasn’t given the attention it deserved. This perception led her to make the difficult decision of parting ways with the label. Liya explained that her departure was primarily driven by her belief that her career wasn’t receiving the necessary focus and support from DMW. She expressed the need to start afresh and carve her own musical path in a different direction. Despite leaving DMW, Liya still reiterated her admiration for the label’s current roster of artists and their endeavors. She emphasised her continued support for DMW and its new talents, wishing them well in their musical pursuits. @gtimmusic reacted: “A bad conversationalist! Why start a response with “I don’t know” Ickkkkk.” @sxintoyxter said: “She’s scared and just holding in a lot. Sis doesn’t want drama.“ @Mubbyolateju commented: “Definitely with the promotion..her songs were good but zero promotion.” @Honcho_Havi said: ”She’s scared of backlash.” @gOldspot reacted: “Without proper label structure, most artistes signed won’t reach there potential. DMW lacked structure, I hope they do better In the future.” @Fraziwonder10 said: “She’s not comfortable with the questions.” @King___Dd reacted: “Maybe just drop songs instead.” @kenzi commented: “Person wey mid,make dem dey waste money.” @Kush30BG said: “The guy is really pushing her to say bad about the label with the way he is asking the

Mbappe left out of PSG’s pre-season tour
French footballer, Kylian Mbappe has been left out of PSG’s squad for their pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea. His future at the French giants has been in doubt due to his reluctance to sign a new contract which would have stopped him from leaving the club for nothing next summer. The Parisian squad for the tour in Japan. ⤵️https://t.co/8lGkxbRJA2 — Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) July 21, 2023 Mbappe featured and scored in his side’s pre-season win over Le Havre on Friday, July 21, but he will not be flying to Asia like the rest of the squad including all six of PSG’s new signings and his 16-year-old younger brother Ethan, on Saturday, July 22. The French football star has just one year remaining on his contract with PSG and its been gathered that the club wants to sell him now and secure a transfer fee rather than let him go for nothing. According to L’Equipe, PSG are convinced that Mbappe has a deal in place to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer. The club have informed him that he must either sign a new contract, a 10-year deal has been offered, worth €1bn (£865m/$1.1bn), or be sold. Kylian Mbappe on captain duty for PSG.

The club are also said to be willing to bench Mbappe this season if he does not finalise a move to another club this summer.

Mbappe has been courted by Real Madrid for years and came close to linking up with the Spanish giants last year before signing on with PSG following a late change of heart.
Fabinho left out of Liverpool squad amid interest from Saudi Arabia
English football club, Liverpool have confirmed that Fabinho will not travel with the squad for their pre-season tour of Germany. The Brazilian footballer endured a tough 2022-23 and didn’t look like the player he was in his first four seasons at Liverpool.

Having earlier included the Brazilian in their travelling party, the club decided to omit him from the squad heading to Germany on Saturday, July 15, signalling the end of his five-year Anfield career. Fabinho has now been granted permission by the English club to negotiate his exit with the Saudi Arabian club owned by the nation’s Public Investment Fund, which also owns a majority stake in Newcastle United. Fabinho has been at Liverpool since July 2018 after the Reds signed him from Monaco for a fee in the region of £39m. He has since helped the club win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup. There are reports Jordan Henderson is a target for Al-Ettifaq, who recently appointed former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard as their new manager. The 32-year-old England international is believed to have accepted a huge £700,000-a-week pay packet to join Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard at his new club Al-Ettifaq.

Liverpool has been rebuilding their midfield following the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. They have signed Argentina international Alexis Mac Allister, 24, from Brighton and Hungary captain Dominik Szoboszlai, 22, from RB Leipzig and were looking at a long-term successor to Fabinho. Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, 19, was one of those under consideration but if they lose the experience of Fabinho, and possibly Henderson, it is expected to see the club shift their transfer strategy.
