Entertainment News: Latest Music, Film & Celebrity Stories
Love movies, music and celebrity scoop? You're in the right place. At CottonCandi News we cover entertainment across Africa and beyond with clear, timely stories that tell you what happened and why it matters. From album drops and film reviews to high-profile funerals and surprise events, we keep it short, useful, and current.
Looking for music updates? We follow big releases and rising artists. Recent posts include Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES 2, Burna Boy’s social‑issue single teaser “Empty Chairs,” and tributes to legends like Onyeka Onwenu. You’ll get quick context — who’s involved, where it matters, and what’s buzzing on streaming platforms and radio.
If film and TV are your thing, we break down award buzz, streaming debuts, and festival favorites. Read about Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu getting critics’ nods, Zendaya’s tennis drama Challengers landing on streaming, and what to expect next from shows like The Bear. We explain why a nomination or release could change a career, not just list dates.
Celeb culture and events get a practical take here. From Celine Dion’s Olympic performance headlines to celebrity weddings and controversies, we focus on facts, notable quotes, and what fans want to know next. If a story affects Africa — artists, industry shifts, or major on‑ground events — we put that front and center.
How we pick stories
We follow three simple rules: relevance, impact, and clarity. Relevance means the story connects to readers in Africa or features African creators. Impact means the piece changes conversations — a major album, film awards, or a cultural moment. Clarity means you’ll understand the takeaway fast, whether it’s a review, obituary, or interview summary.
