Fast entertainment news with a standard

Music, film, celebrity and culture across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa, reported quickly and labelled honestly.

  1. Where each story comes from

    Every story states its sourcing.

  2. Confirmed, reported or rumoured

    Stories distinguish clearly between what is confirmed, what is reported and what is rumoured.

  3. Corrections in the open

    Corrections are published prominently rather than stories being deleted.

  4. Claims about private individuals

    No claim about a private individual is published without verification.

  5. Speed through structure

    Speed is maintained through structured reporting rather than by lowering the bar.

  6. Digest, email and video

    A daily digest by WhatsApp and email, and short-form video for social.

The problem

African entertainment media runs on speculation and aggregation.

Blogs publish rumours as fact for clicks, retract nothing, and the same false story circulates for weeks.

Audiences are simultaneously addicted and cynical, artists are damaged by fabrications, and brands are wary of advertising next to content that might be defamatory.

Who it is for

  • Young Africans and the diaspora

    Readers aged 18 to 35 following music, film, celebrity and culture across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa, at home and abroad.

  • Brands

    Brands trying to reach this audience that are wary of advertising next to content that might be defamatory.

  • Artists, labels and creators
