If your summer playlist doesn’t include Hot Body or Mr Media, you may be doing the season wrong.

In line with this trend, which is quickly morphing into tradition, Ayra Starr and Tyla have put out Hot Body and WWP — timely releases already heating up global playlists, and claiming summer 2025 for the girls.

Depending on whether you have seen the tweet or one of its myriad iterations, in what is one of the most fiercely contested debates the platform X has played host to in months—at least in this part of the world—the aforementioned tweet might either elicit similarly intense belly laughter or a confused sigh.

Any avid football fan would easily glimpse, in Fireboy’s current situation, an ominous but eerily familiar tale: a player of tremendous skill loses form, perhaps on account of an injury or the psychological toll of a crushing defeat, or possibly personal problems.

Having dressed up, he slung his black, single-strapped bag with a bold depiction of the Off-White logo over his shoulder. He headed to his National Youth Service CDS—community development service—center, located in a secretariat close to the Ibadan Airport, without the faintest clue of the events that…
August is meant to be a calm breath between seasons, rain washing away old worries, whispers of fresh starts in the air, and second chances ripe for the taking.
