Latest entertainment gist

The Weeknd has released the music Update for ‘Nothing is Lost (You Give Me Strength)’.

The song is lifted from the soundtrack of James Cameron’s Avatar sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, which was released in cinemas last month.

The accompanying Update, directed by Quentin Deronzier, is set largely within the film’s fictional Pandora landscape, with brief glimpses of The Weeknd shrouded in embers. Later in the clip, the Na’vi inhabitants are forced to evacuate into the ocean as a fire approaches. SEE that below:

‘Nothing is Lost (You Give Me Strength)’ was produced by frequent The Weeknd collaborators Swedish House Mafia, along with Avatar’s score composer Simon Franglen. The Weeknd first teased his involvement in the blockbuster soundtrack in early December, before releasing it a day ahead of Avatar’s premiere on December 15.

Discussing the track in an interview with Hollywood Reporter last week, The Weeknd said: “The best part about writing the song was getting notes from James [Cameron] and making sure that all the lyrics and the tones fit the themes of the film”.

The Weeknd’s previous soundtrack contributions have included ‘Earned It’ for the 2015 film Fifty Shades of Grey, and the Kendrick Lamar-assisted ‘Pray For Me’ for 2018’s Black Panther.

In another onscreen venture, The Weeknd also co-created, co-wrote, executive produced and leads the cast of The Idol, an HBO drama series co-starring Lily-Rose Depp and set for release later this year. Euphoria creator Sam Levinson also co-created and directed the series.

Last month, ‘Nothing is Lost (You Give Me Strength)’ was named on the shortlist for Best Original Song for this year’s Academy Awards. The Weeknd appeared on the list alongside Rihanna (for her Black Panther: Wakanda Forever single ‘Lift Me Up’) and Lady Gaga (for her Top Gun: Maverick contribution ‘Hold My Hand’), among others.

In a four-star review of Avatar: The Way of Water, NME described the sequel as “bigger, bolder and definitely better than the original”. The film stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver and Kate Winslet, among others.

“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.
