Dont Tell Me Its Swag, RudeBoy Slams Smoking Trend Among New Artistes In Music Videos
~0.8 mins read
Nigerian singer, Paul Okoye, popularly known as RudeBoy of Psquare, has cautioned up-and-coming artistes against smoking while in their music visualizers. In a message posted on his Instagram story on Saturday, Okoye questioned the trend of smoking in music videos, pointing out that many young artists appear unhealthy while trying to project a certain image. Writing in Pidgin, Paul wrote, “Dear new acts, abeg who tell una say whenever una de shoot visualizer video, say una must de smoke igbo for camera. “20 sec music never start you still de light up… well na your choice ohh but make sure you de eat well, at least de chop better food.. don’t tell me is swag or trying to look fly.” He further criticised the contradiction between spending heavily on smoking while struggling to afford decent meals, saying. “You’re looking sick. You de smoke around 50k de battle indomie of 1k without egg.” He concluded his post by hinting at the pressure faced by rising artistes, simply writing, “Under pressure…”

Raphinha scored a penalty in the eighth minute of stoppage time as La Liga leaders Barcelona completed a remarkable comeback to beat Celta Vigo 4-3. The Brazil forward scored with almost the last kick of the game after a video assistant referee (VAR) review ruled that Dani Olmo was tripped inside the area. Hansi Flick's side had been staring at a shock home defeat after 62 minutes, with Borja Iglesias' hat-trick wiping out Ferran Torres' early finish to give the visitors a 3-1 lead. Barcelona regrouped and scored two goals in four second-half minutes - through Dani Olmo and Raphinha - to get back level and piled on the pressure. It appeared as though Celta had weathered the storm and were going to see out the game for a point, but then Olmo was tripped, the penalty was given on VAR advice and Raphinha stepped up to score. The win extends Barcelona's lead over second-placed Real Madrid to seven points, before Los Blancos host Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.

Hibernian beat Rangers 2-0 in a top-of-the-table clash to return to the SWPL summit with five games remaining. Kathleen McGovern broke the deadlock after just nine minutes at Meadowbank when she headed Eilidh Adams' cross beyond Jenna Fife in the Rangers goal. Rangers had already had a Kirsty Howat effort disallowed for a foul before Hibs' opener. And the Leith side doubled their advantage 10 minutes before the break when Stacey Papadopoulos drilled a low shot from the edge of the box into the bottom corner, through the hands of the diving Fife. The victory moves Hibs two points clear of Jo Potter's side, and three ahead of Glasgow City in third. "To come here and get another big three points is great but there's still a long way to go," Adams told BBC Alba. "There's a real togetherness within the squad and we fight until the end. There's a brilliant group of girls, we all get on really well and you can see that on the pitch."

'Dream Was Already Gone' - Valakari On St Johnstone's Half-time Focus Shift
~2.4 mins read
This Hampden day out was designed to bring welcome relief for St Johnstone from the struggle of their Scottish Premiership survival slog. Albeit, that opportunity was against Celtic, but their recent league win over Brendan Rodgers' side would have brought some hope. For 30-odd minutes of a sun-kissed semi-final at the national stadium, those adorned in blue may well have momentarily forgotten all about basement battles and dared to dream as they held Celtic at arms length. Just 12 minutes after Callum McGregor's opener, the bubble had truly burst. The relegation fight was back, firmly at the forefront, with the treble-chasing holders four ahead by half-time and the Perth side reeling from a flurry of counters. At the break, Valakari had to be realistic and prioritise. "The dream was already gone to reach the final," the Finn told BBC Scotland. "So, yes, the thinking process already went the next games. "At the same time, we still had 45 minutes. We could not go out there and collapse because it could have done even more damage to us." No-one expected the contest to be over at that point given the way the opening 33 minutes had played out. Yes, Celtic dominated but didn't pierce St Johnstone's defence too often with goalkeeper Andy Fisher rarely troubled. It went so badly wrong from there and, come the break, any scoreline seemed within Celtic's reach. The fact the Perth side held out to concede just once more will likely help in the coming games. "That's what Celtic can do against any team here in Scotland, even in Europe," Valakari continued. "No hard feelings, no excuses. We didn't do enough good football things to get anything out of it. "We came here to compete to the final. It didn't happen this year. We are sad now, but that was our 2025 cup journey." A five-game journey of cup finals beckons with massive implications for the club, starting with a trip to face Motherwell in their first post-split fixture on Saturday. For all Celtic's attacking threat here, errors played a part in St Johnstone's downfall. Valakari is clear on the lessons that need to be quickly learned ahead of the run-in. "That's the reason we are where we are in the table," he said. "We can do very, very good things, but we can't do it enough whole 90 minutes. "It needs to change now because the margin of error, we don't have anymore. We can't give silly goals away because we don't have time or points to do it. "There is no opponent who will help us to get out of it. It's only us. We need to do it. We own our own performance. We own our situation and we own if we get out of it. "So, there's no fear. It's a full attack." St Johnstone's destiny still, maybe just, remains in their hands. With five points between them and Dundee, and a Perth meeting between the two the last game of this season. Valakari will hope his side have a fighting chance at the end of their five-game run, rather than their hopes being over halfway through as was the case at Hampden. What did you make of St Johnstone's performance? And what effect might it have on them in the league? Let us know here
