1. Mr P sets 20 November for OG Forever
What happened
Peter Okoye, the former P-Square member who records as Mr P, shared the cover art and 15-song tracklist for his new album OG Forever on Monday. The album arrives on Friday 20 November, with the opening track, Nothing to Prove, released as a single a week earlier on 13 November. Several songs, including Winning and Chukwu Mee, are already out; four guest features are listed but not yet named.
Why it matters
It is his first full-length solo project since The Prodigal in 2021, and it lands right at the start of the December concert season, when release timing matters most for radio and live bookings.

2. Funke Akindele adds a UK advance screening for The Four
What happened
Funke Akindele announced on Instagram on Monday that The Four: No One Fights Alone will have advance screenings across UK and Irish cinemas on 2 December, two days before its general UK and Ireland release on 4 December. The film’s London premiere at the ODEON Luxe Leicester Square on 29 November has already sold out, according to the filmmaker and distributor FilmOne. It opens in Nigerian cinemas on 11 December. The cast includes Chioma Akpotha, Bisola Aiyeola and Waje.
Why it matters
Nigerians in the UK and Ireland will see it a week before audiences at home. Akindele’s festive releases have been among the biggest earners at the Nigerian box office, so this rollout is a test of how far Nollywood can grow its diaspora cinema audience.

3. Flavour named Creative Icon of the Year at The Sun Awards
What happened
The Sun Publishing has confirmed that highlife star Chinedu Okoli, known as Flavour, will receive its Creative Icon of the Year award at the 2026 Sun Awards on Friday 13 November at the Expo Convention Centre, Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos. Businessman Olu Okeowo will chair the 7pm ceremony, which honours 45 Nigerians across several fields.
Why it matters
Flavour has spent more than 15 years blending Igbo highlife with modern pop. The award sits alongside his busy December live calendar and recognises an artist who has kept indigenous-language music in the mainstream. Note that this is the newspaper’s own award, so it is reported here as The Sun’s announcement.

4. IK Ogbonna and Ego Nwosu announce engagement
What happened
Nollywood actor and model IK Ogbonna shared a video on Instagram on Monday of his proposal to fellow actress Ego Nwosu, captioning it with a short line about one promise and one lifetime. Nwosu accepted, and colleagues and fans flooded the post with congratulations.
Why it matters
It is a happy, publicly shared milestone for two familiar faces in Nollywood, and one of the most-discussed entertainment posts of the day. We report only what the couple chose to announce.

Why it matters
