Violence On Screens – Jason Statham
Jason Statham (born July 26, 1967) is one of Britain’s most recognizable action stars, famed for his no-nonsense grit and electrifying screen presence. Before Hollywood came calling, he was a competitive diver—a discipline that gave him the physicality and precision he brings to his roles. Statham broke out in Guy Ritchie’s cult classic Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and quickly carved a niche as the go-to leading man for adrenaline-fueled films like The Transporter, Crank, The Expendables, the Fast & Furious franchise, and The Meg. What sets him apart isn’t just his knack for hard-hitting fight scenes and breakneck chases, but the fact that he performs many of his own stunts, earning him a reputation as the real deal in an industry built on make-believe. Off-screen, Statham shares his life with model and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, with whom he has two children.

Music Fun Facts – Kanye West’s Surgery
That’s right! On the 23rd of October, 2002, while driving back home from a late studio session in Los Angeles, Kanye West dozed off behind the wheels and collided head-on with another moving vehicle. This landed him a shattered jaw in three different places, difficulty in speaking due to the excruciating pain and a jaw almost slammed shut by doctors as a form of treatment and reconstructive surgery. But here comes the brain-burster! • Instead of resting and waiting to heal. Kanye started writing “Through the Wire” just 3 three days after the accident and went back to the studio just two weeks after to record the track. • With a jaw wired shut, Ye still went ahead to record “Through the Wire” with his mouth barely opening. • The song samples Chaka Khan’s “Through the Fire” and buttresses Kanye’s point of making art even when physically broken. • The track became the launchpad for his career as it convinced his label, Roc-A-Fella Records, to allow him to release his debut solo album titled The College Dropout (2004). • In turning a near-death experience into music that turned the tables of Hip-hop forever, Kanye’s feat forever goes down as a practical example of passion overriding pain.
Music Run with Ayo Maff
The Nascent Storming the Nigerian music scene with confidence backed by an electrifying street credibility, Ayo Maff was initially perceived as another Afro-Adura artiste ready to take the genre by its horns with his debut single “JamaJama“. But little did the Nigerian music audience know that “Omo owo” still has a lot of tricks up his emerging sleeve. The Ballistic Dispersal No one saw it coming, the explosion that followed. A chart-quaking banger from a young, hungry-for-success, street lad and Afrobeat’s lover boy, Fireboy. For Ayo Maff, Dealer wasn’t just a track, but a bridge to the Canaan of industry fame. The Rise of the Mafia(Maffian) There aren’t many artists that can instigate a chain reaction with their debut album like Ayo Maff did with “Maffian“.The Nigerian music industry watched a juvenile movement erupt before its very eyes with a seven-track album that mirrored swag, hustle, street life and youthful exuberance. All led by a career that is almost not up to two years. The Self-Proclamation Naming his most recent album with a title that is almost impossible to dispute, to say Ayo Maff is truly the “Prince of the Street” should not spark up a debate on an objective table. This is also the album where his fruit of versatility ripens. Delivering distinct features like “Realness” with the ever-emotional Chike and an explosive vibe on Gang with Seyi Vibez in one wholesome album, Ayo Maff keeps scaling the metrics of fulfillment as far as the Nigerian music industry is concerned. But the icing on the cake really is that, if he is this young and potential-pregnant already, what more does a roaring engine promise other than to conquer the road? Guess we will find out pretty soon. @Alaro Basit
The anti-CGI director – Christopher Nolan
It is no news that Christopher Nolan is a movie director renowned for his preference for practical effects over heavy CGI effects. So for Interstellar (2014), he needed a realistic setting for Cooper’s farm, where Matthew McConaughey’s character lived with his family and rather than relying on visual effects or renting an existing farm, Nolan and his production team decided to grow their own corn.
