Spice Girls’ Mel C Drops Out Of NYE Show In Poland, LGBT Community Praises Her

Latest entertainment gist

Mel C of the Spice Girls is pullin’ out of her upcoming show in Poland, saying her views don’t align with the issues she’s discovered … and the LGBT+ community can’t thank her enough for making the last-minute decision.

The singer took to social media Monday … saying “In light of some issues that have been brought to my attention, that do not align with the communities I support, I’m afraid I will no longer be able to perform in Poland as planned on New Year’s Eve.”

She doesn’t elaborate further on her decision, but people in the comments are praising her for seemingly standing up against the country’s anti-LGBT stance in recent years.

For those unaware — Poland’s political views have often been viewed as conservative, and a ton of towns in the country have even been declared “LGBT-Free Zones” … with the belief that the idealogy behind the LGBT culture isn’t a part of the community.

FYI — Mel was set to perform in an NYE special put on by Poland’s public broadcaster TVP … a company that’s reportedly been accused in recent years of becoming state-run propaganda, possibly even fueling the anti-LGBT fire.

Mel, someone who’s often defended gay rights, ends the cancelation post, saying “I hope to be back there very soon” … before wishing her fans a happy holiday season.

“My dad Wizkid is not the one begging for pussy” — Son

Latest entertainment gist

When it comes to savage responses, the Baloguns specifically those related to Wizkid by blood, are not to be trifled with and being Davido does not save you from such.

In a recent social media exchange, 13-year-old Boluwatife Balogun, the eldest son of renowned Nigerian artiste Wizkid, threw some savage response at his father’s rival, David Adeleke following their online spat.

Facing some online banter from a Davido fan, Boluwatife Balogun came to his father’s defense rather than keep mute.

The ongoing rivalry between Wizkid and Davido escalated in recent days, with both artistes engaging in public spats and trading insults online. Davido, responding to Wizkid’s jibes, took aim at Wizkid’s physical stature, claiming that Wizkid is so short that he wears size 7 shoes and jokingly suggesting he shops at Footlocker Kids.

Some individuals on social media supported Davido’s claims by sharing photos purportedly showing Wizkid wearing shoes matching his son Bolu’s shoe size.

Davido further escalated the feud by disparaging Wizkid’s music, boasting about his own hits, and challenging Wizkid to release new music simultaneously. He also ridiculed Wizkid’s height, suggesting that despite his own short stature, Wizkid is even shorter.

A Davido fan, seizing the opportunity to taunt Wizkid’s family, commented on Boluwatife Balogun’s TikTok page, asking if it was true that both Bolu and his father wear the same shoe size.

Bolu promptly responded to the taunt, defending his father by highlighting Wizkid’s character and integrity, asserting that despite any jokes about shoe sizes, his father doesn’t stoop to begging for attention or engaging in inappropriate behavior.
