Kehlani just walked the Jennifer Hudson Show spirit tunnel and the hallway was absolutely not ready for her.

If you have never seen the spirit tunnel before, here is the idea — a narrow, lively backstage hallway lined on both sides with the show’s staff and dancers, all there for one reason: to make the incoming guest feel every bit of the love in that corridor before they even step foot on the main stage. And when Kehlani walked through it, the hallway gave her everything it had.

She arrived in a monochromatic grey suit, a structured oversized blazer cinched at the waist with a matching belt, paired with a grey mini skirt. Deep burgundy sheer tights and matching burgundy pointed-toe heels added a rich, bold contrast to the grey, and her long loose waves, neck tattoos and hand tattoos rounded the whole look out with an edge that cut through the polished tailoring beautifully. She looked sharp, she looked cool and she looked completely unbothered in the best possible way.

The hallway crew came with a harmonised, soulful chant tailored just for her: “Kehlani’s at JHud, you know we love her! She’s walking down the hall, so we gotta turn up! A Grammy winner, she’s the best… Kehlani’s at JHud!” The staff were stepping, clapping and waving their hands in unison on both sides, turning the corridor into a full performance in its own right.

And Kehlani? She matched every single bit of it. She started with a confident, rhythmic strut, vibing to the live vocals, and as the chant peaked she broke into sharp, coordinated hand movements and a body roll that had the whole hallway losing it. She was smiling, she was laughing with the crew and she was fully in the moment from the first step to the last. By the time she pushed through the On Air doors to the main stage, the spirit tunnel had done exactly what it was built to do.

Watch her walk below.

Love is in the air, and just in time for Valentine’s Day, the first single from the highly anticipated original soundtrack album of the upcoming feature film “EVI” has officially arrived. Titled “All My Love,” the soulful Afrobeat/R&B duet has been released and is now available on all major music streaming platforms worldwide. As an added treat, the official music video featuring scenes from the film has also premiered.

Performed in the film by Dayo and Evi, played by Ibrahim Suleiman and Osas Okonyon, the song’s vocals are delivered by Osas Okonyon and Abbey Wonder. Written by Martin Asogwa (Marzz) and produced by Tolu Obanro (Tyanx), “All My Love” beautifully captures the emotional connection between the two characters.

With tender melodies and heartfelt harmonies, the track explores themes of devotion, trust and the emotional risks lovers take for one another. Vulnerable, romantic and deeply resonant, it sets the perfect tone for the season of love while offering audiences an intimate preview into the emotional world of EVI.

Set for nationwide cinema release on March 27, 2026, “EVI” is produced by Judith Audu, written and directed by Uyoyou Adia, and distributed by FilmOne Entertainment. The film tells the story of a talented but arrogant rising star, Evi, who is forced to rebuild her life and career after losing everything, finding unexpected hope through a troubled talent manager. Music lies at the very heart of Evi’s storytelling, shaping the emotional journeys and growth of its characters.

The film is a Judith Audu Productions project in collaboration with Switch Visuals Productions, Signet Rings Productions and NOI Productions. It is powered by CcHUB in partnership with Africa No Filter and supported by the Gates Foundation.

Mr Eazi looked calm, cool and incredibly stylish in a burgundy velvet suit at the world premiere of “F1: The Movie.” You remember the film, right? The 2025 American sports drama starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, with F1 legend Lewis Hamilton also on board as a producer.

It turns out Mr Eazi, along with Nigerian music stars Burna Boy, Darkoo and Obongjayar, contributed to the film’s official soundtrack, adding a strong West African presence to one of the year’s most anticipated releases.

For the premiere, Mr Eazi brought his A-game in a rich burgundy velvet suit that had a futuristic edge with a slightly avant-garde twist. The suit was sharp and structured, making a bold style statement while still feeling refined.

He paired it with matching burgundy gloves and a silver chain detail clipped to the side of his trousers. Just enough to add a bit of attitude without drawing too much attention. The wide-leg trousers were well-cut and flowed neatly over shiny black loafers that tied the look together with a polished finish.

This wasn’t your average red carpet outfit. It was bold, confident and intentional.

“Proud to have made an original highlife song for this movie “Attention”. The movie and track out June 27th,” Mr Eazi shared in his caption alongside the photos.
