Danboskid, Ibifubara Become First Evictees of BBN Season 10
Big Brother Naija housemates Daniel Olatunji, popularly known as Danboskid, and Ibifubara Davies have been evicted from the ongoing 10/10 season, becoming the first contestants to leave the show.
Their eviction was announced during the live Sunday show, marking a dramatic start to the season’s elimination phase. The tension had been building after a dramatic search for an envelope containing an immunity card ended with 27 housemates put up for possible eviction.
Danboskid was the first to exit, followed shortly by Ibifubara, whose departure made her the second housemate to bid farewell to the competition.
This unexpected twist has left the remaining contestants on high alert, as they scramble to regroup and reassess their strategies in the race for the coveted grand prize, N150 million.
Cardi B was cleared of assault by a Los Angeles jury after a security guard sued her for $24m (£18m) in a fingernail attack.
Emani Ellis alleged that the US rapper cut her cheek with a 3in (7.5cm) fingernail and spat on her outside an obstetrician’s office in 2018. The rapper was pregnant at the time, which wasn’t public knowledge.
The civil trial in Alhambra led to a series of viral moments as the rapper took the stand and offered colourful testimony about the incident and her fashion choices.
She told the court that the guard followed her and filmed her on her phone and wouldn’t give her space or privacy. Ms Ellis, though, said it left her “traumatised”.
The jury took only about an hour to clear the Grammy-winning rapper of the allegations of assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress as well as negligence and false imprisonment.
Speaking to reporters following the ruling, Cardi B said: “I work all day and I work hard for my money, for my kids, for the people that I take care of. So don’t you ever think that you’re going to sue me, and I’m just going to settle.”
The rapper also called on her fans not to bother Ms Ellis or her family now that a judgement had been reached.
The case revolved around Cardi B’s obstetrics appointment, when she was four months pregnant with her first child. The office closed for the day to shield her privacy, as her pregnancy was not publicly known.
Cardi B acknowledged to the court that she and Ms Ellis had a profanity-laden shouting match after she showed up to the doctor’s appointment. She said it was very heated – but she denied ever touching the guard or spitting on her.
The rapper testified about that day, telling the court that when she stepped out of an elevator, Ms Ellis, who was working as a security guard in the building, told someone on the phone about her appointment for a pregnancy that wasn’t yet public knowledge.
The performer, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, added that Ms Ellis appeared to record her on her phone and refused to “back up”, before a face-to-face “verbal altercation” ensued.
She admitted shouting an obscenity at Ms Ellis while telling her to “get out of my face”.
Her lawyer noted how the star had “feared for her unborn baby” and hadn’t discussed the news of her pregnancy publicly yet.
Her case was bolstered by testimony from the doctor she was there to see and his receptionist – Tierra Malcolm – who rushed between the arguing women in an attempt to break up the fight.
Ms Malcolm testified that Ms Ellis was the aggressor and that the security guard was swinging her arms in an apparent attempt to hit Cardi B, which resulted in a cut on Ms Malcolm’s head.

Florence Otedola, popularly known as DJ Cuppy, has lamented being single at 33 despite career and academic achievements.
DJ Cuppy, who is a popular disc jockey (DJ) and the daughter of Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola, took to her social media platforms to express her inability to find a husband at 33 after career and academic accomplishments.
According to her, all the suitors, who are interested in her, and have approached her, had spelling problems.
He stressed that her major concern was the suitors’ inability to spell, coupled with the fact that she once admitted that she struggled with spelling despite attending Oxford University.
“Making it big… but mother of Dúdú and FünFün, no husband, with plenty suitors in my DMs and none can even spell Pomeranian,” she wrote.
DJ Cuppy earlier revealed that she always reminds God that she is still single, each time she sees other people’s wedding photos online.
The renowned disc jockey had been very vocal about her desire to get married after calling off her engagement to British boxer Ryan Taylor in 2023.
The philanthropist and internationally acclaimed disc jockey was recently selected as a 2025 Goalkeeper by the Gates Foundation.
