Afrobeats star Wizkid made a surprise appearance at Gunna’s headline show at Detty December Fest on Monday night, delivering one of the standout moments of the festival.

The unannounced appearance happened midway through Gunna’s set at Ilubirin, Ikoyi, when the beat switched to their joint track, “Forever Be Mine.” Wizkid then walked onto the stage to loud cheers from the crowd, joining Gunna for a brief live performance of the song.

The track, which appears on Gunna’s 2025 album “The Last Wun,” was performed live for only the second time, following its debut at Afro+ Fest in Washington, D.C., in September.

Both artistes, dressed in black, shared a quick embrace before launching into the song. Wizkid delivered his verse as the audience sang along, while Gunna kept the performance moving. At the end of the set, Gunna told the crowd, “Make some noise for my brother Wizkid!”

The Lagos concert was part of Gunna’s Wun World Tour, with the American rapper closing the night as headliner. Earlier performances came from Jamaican dancehall star Shenseea, alongside singers Fave and Tiwa Savage.

Wizkid’s appearance capped a busy Detty December run, which also saw him deliver a sold-out concert on December 28, drawing praise from fellow artistes including Olamide

The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards took over the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, over the weekend, and as always, music’s biggest stars brought fashion moments worth talking about. Hosted by LL Cool J, the night celebrated some of the year’s most-watched music videos and saw icons like Busta Rhymes and Mariah Carey — this year’s Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award recipient — take centre stage.

But before the awards were handed out, the red carpet set the tone. This year’s fashion leaned into bold silhouettes, nostalgic nods and experimental styling choices, proving the VMAs are still the place for risk-taking.

Love Island’s Olandria Carthen was a vision in a vibrant cherry-red bustier bodysuit with a sheer mesh train that flowed dramatically behind her. Rapper GloRilla kept things playful in a plaid top and blazer by Helen Anthony, paired with a mini skirt, frilly white socks and black patent heels for a school-girl-meets-streetwear twist.

Tyla, known for her ability to surprise on the carpet, tapped into vintage luxury with a Chanel Spring/Summer 1993 archival top, styled with layered gold chains and sleek black pumpse. Ciara’s Schiaparelli look from the Spring/Summer 2025 ready-to-wear collection offered a nod to Sporty Spice with its high neck, mini skirt and bold red finish.

Afrobeats star Ayra Starr matched the buzz around her new single “Hot Body” in a daring, strappy black jumpsuit, paired with a short pixie cut, glittering nose strip, stacked bangles and towering platform heels, a look that felt both futuristic and playful.

From vintage fashion moments to experimental styling, the VMAs once again reminded us why it remains a staple in music and fashion culture.
