Rihanna Glows in Pregnancy Style at 2025 Met Gala – Baby No. 3 on the Way!
Global superstar and beauty mogul Rihanna made headlines once again, this time at the 2025 Met Gala in New York City, where she confirmed she is expecting her third child with rapper A$AP Rocky. The announcement sparked excitement among fans across the world — including many in Africa, where Rihanna remains an icon in both fashion and music.
The 37-year-old Fenty Beauty founder showed off her baby bump in style at the exclusive afterparty held on the night of Monday, May 5. Embracing her pregnancy glow, Rihanna stepped out in a black ruffled blouse left open to reveal her growing belly, layered under a dramatic oversized blazer and a long black skirt featuring leather details, cutouts, and lace-up accents.
As always, Rihanna didn’t hold back on accessories. She wore a crystal-embellished choker, a black lace bandana, and carried a sleek leather clutch. Her footwear of choice? Eye-catching black lace-up Christian Louboutin heels.
Earlier in the day, her official photographer, Miles Diggs, teased the pregnancy announcement with a striking Instagram post showing Rihanna in the rain, her baby bump proudly visible.
A$AP Rocky, 36, who served as a co-chair for this year’s Met Gala, couldn’t hide his joy when speaking to media on the red carpet. “It feels amazing,” he said. “It’s time we show the people what we’ve been cooking up. I’m glad everybody’s happy for us — because we definitely are.”
Rihanna’s main Met Gala look was another head-turner: a custom outfit by Marc Jacobs featuring a cropped black tuxedo jacket over a gray fitted top, with a blazer-shaped pinstriped skirt and an elaborate bustle made of jacket sleeves. She completed the ensemble with a wide-brimmed hat, a white collar and brown spotted tie, and stylish black-and-white brogue heels.
Speaking to “Entertainment Tonight” on the blue carpet, the “Diamonds” and “Work” hitmaker shared her feelings about this new chapter. “I’m excited,” she said. “I’m shockingly feeling okay — not too overwhelmed. At first it was like ‘Ahhh!’ and I was tired, but now I’m just really excited.”
Rihanna’s evolving maternity style continues to inspire women across Africa and the world, proving once again that motherhood and fashion can go hand in hand.

From Lekzy’s “A Fool in April” to Parrot Mouth’s “Laugh it Off”: Albert Bondah’s Rise as a Creative Force in the comedy industry
In Ghana’s creative arts space, talent alone is not enough. What keeps the industry moving are people who can adapt, solve problems on the spot, and hold a production together when things get uncertain. That is where a true utility player stands out. And in recent times, Albert Bondah has proven exactly why that role matters, especially with his work on “Laugh It Off” by Parrot Mouth.
Fresh off the momentum of successfully steering Lekzy De Comic’s “A Fool in April”, Albert stepped into “Laugh It Off” with both confidence and pressure. The expectations were higher this time. The audience anticipated a seamless experience. The team itself included seasoned practitioners, many with years more experience. It was not just another show. It was a test of leadership, adaptability, and execution under pressure.
And the challenges came early.
From coordinating a diverse team to managing creative differences, Laugh It Off demanded more than technical know-how. There were moments when plans had to change on short notice. Timing had to be adjusted. Resources had to be stretched. At certain points, the weight of leading experienced hands could have easily unsettled the process. But this is where Albert’s strength as a utility player became clear.
Instead of resisting the pressure, he leaned into it. Drawing from his journey across theatre, comedy, and production, Albert approached each challenge with a calm, solution-driven mindset. His experience from past productions, especially handling unpredictable situations like adverse weather in earlier shows, helped him stay grounded.
On Laugh It Off, he knew when to step in, when to delegate, and when to simply let creativity flow. More importantly, he listened. Working with experienced professionals taught him the value of collaboration at a deeper level. He understood that leadership in creative spaces is not about control, but about direction.
By blending his own ideas with the input of others, he created an environment where everyone could contribute effectively. The result was a show that felt cohesive, engaging, and well-executed.
There were lessons too. Laugh It Off reinforced the importance of preparation, but also the need to stay flexible. It highlighted the value of clear communication within a team. And above all, it showed that experience is not just about how long you have worked, but how well you can apply what you know in real time. Albert brought all of that to bear.
From his early days as a student producer at Cape FM to working across major productions in Ghana’s creative arts industry, he has built a reputation for reliability and versatility. But with Laugh It Off, he did more than just contribute; he led, adapted, and delivered under pressure.

Albert Bondah- Comedy Promoter
This is what makes him a creative utility player. He is not confined to one role. He understands the full scope of production. He can move between responsibilities without losing focus on the bigger picture. And when it matters most, he shows up with solutions, not excuses.
As the curtains closed on “Laugh It Off”, one thing became clear: the success of the show was not accidental. It was the result of experience, meeting preparation, and preparation meeting preparation.
For brands, producers, and creatives looking to execute high-quality productions, Albert Bondah represents something valuable: a dependable force behind the scenes who ensures that ideas do not just stay ideas but come to life, even in the face of challenges. In an industry that thrives on unpredictability, that kind of consistency is rare. And it is exactly why Albert continues to stand out.

Haruna Rashid Yussif vrs Africa University of Communication and Business; SRC Presidential Aspirant Challenges Election Outcome
Tension is rising within the Africa University of Communication and Business (AUCB) following a dispute involving SRC presidential aspirant Haruna Rashid Yussif, who has raised concerns over the conduct and outcome of the recent Student Representative Council (SRC) elections.
Haruna Rasfid Yussif, a prominent contender in the race, is reportedly contesting aspects of the electoral process, questioning both transparency and fairness. His grievances are believed to stem from irregularities observed before and during the voting process, which he argues may have influenced the final results.
According to emerging reports, sections of his campaign team have also expressed dissatisfaction, calling for a thorough review of the election procedures. While full official details remain limited, discussions circulating within student circles suggest that the matter could escalate if not addressed by university authorities.
The SRC election, a key democratic exercise within the institution, is expected to reflect the voice and choice of the student body. However, controversies such as this risk undermining confidence in the process, particularly among candidates and their supporters.
Observers note that disputes of this nature are not uncommon in student politics, but the response from university management will be critical in determining how the situation unfolds. Calls for dialogue, transparency, and possible redress mechanisms are already gaining traction.
As of now, the leadership of the Africa University of Communication and Business has yet to issue a comprehensive public statement addressing the concerns raised by Haruna Rashid Yussif.
The coming days are expected to be decisive as stakeholders await clarity, accountability, and a resolution that preserves the integrity of student governance on campus.
The silence from authorities at the Africa University of Communication and Business is only adding to the pressure. Students across campus are beginning to ask tough questions about accountability, fairness, and whether the SRC election truly reflected the will of the people.
Student politics may often mirror national dynamics, but this situation is fast escalating beyond routine disagreement. If not addressed swiftly, it risks eroding trust in the very system meant to represent student voices.
For now, all eyes are on the university’s leadership. Will they step in to investigate and restore confidence, or allow the controversy to deepen?
One thing is clear: this isn’t just about an election anymore. It’s about credibility.
