“Lift Me Up”, Rihanna’s new single for the #WakandaForever was co-written by Riri and Tems

0

The singer and cosmetics tycoon is making a splashy comeback with a new song called “Lift Me Up” after taking a lengthy hiatus from the music industry. According to Variety, this serves as the album’s lead song for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”

Tems, Rihanna, Ryan Coogler, and Oscar winner Ludwig Göransson all contributed to the song’s composition. It serves as an homage to the late Chadwick Boseman’s life and work.

Tems described the song as follows:

After speaking with Ryan and hearing his direction for the film and the song, I wanted to write something that portrays a warm embrace from all the people that I’ve lost in my life. I tried to imagine what it would feel like if I could sing to them now and express how much I miss them. Rihanna has been an inspiration to me so hearing her convey this song is a great honor.

You can pre-order/pre-save the song, which is coming out this Friday, here.

Watch the teaser below:

I was speechless when I heard my voice in the Black Panther teaser. The musician tweeted a trailer with the comment, “Big ups to everyone who helped make this possible, Wakanda Forever!

After Tems, he is the second Nigerian musician who has music on the trailer’s soundtrack.

Everyone is going through a difficult period, therefore Rebecca Nengi Hampson urges everyone to pitch in and help the Bayelsa flood victims in whatever way they can.

Nengi

The reality star uploaded a video on the internet to inform everyone about how terrible the situation is for Bayelsa flood victims. She quietly explained some of what she had done so far and urged those in authority to take further action, assuring everyone that this too would pass.

She shared the below video, captioned: The flood in Bayelsa State has destroyed Hospitals, Schools, Lands, Houses and other key infrastructure in the state. Thousands of people are struggling to live as the flood has displaced them.
I want to appeal to everyone to raise awareness and give (no matter how little) to the people of Bayelsa. I will also like to appeal to the State and Federal Government for their urgent intervention as the people need all the support.

If you will like to support, you can send me a DM or send an email to Nengihampson@yahoo.com

RANKS MAGAZINE-FASHION EDITION: NIYI LAWAL BRIDGING THE CULTURE

0

In Nigeria, becoming a successful entrepreneur and influencer is not simple, especially for well-known individuals. There is pressure attached. Hard work, expertise, and frequently a small bit of luck is necessary.

One of the few people who had a successful business before becoming famous is Niyi. Since Niyi Lawal was presented to the world via the reality television show “Big Brother Naija” season 6’s “Shine Ya Eye,” many have come to the conclusion that you don’t need to be an entertainer before you join the show.

Due to the way he conducts himself on the show, Niyi continues to be one of the most respected #BBNAIJA naija alumni.

We at Ranks Africa have decided to celebrate those who have achieved professional success and used their enterprises to have a positive influence on their industry as well as society at large. This is the driving force behind this magazine.

This time around, Niyi Lawal, a successful serial entrepreneur and fashion influencer, is the subject of our focus story. You’ll find this quite interesting.
