Khaid defied nature and made a name for himself even though it felt like it was going to be impossible. Dark and hardworking; before, people around him probably thought he got that dark from fixing cars as a mechanic. Condemned oil turned “Black Diamond” and now he’s fixing the lives of family and loved ones and fixing sadness with his unique sound and amazing talent.

If stardom is a kingdom, he’s royalty. He’s got the grace, style, elegance and touch of a royal, he is here to stay.

With his hit, ‘With You’, he made a connection with you and everyone wanted more from the young and talented man. He hasn’t disappointed so far, churning hits after hits with his latest Jolie doing madness all over the country.

Sulaimon Shekoni Solomon professionally known as Khaid, is a rapper and songwriter signed to Neville Records. Sydney Talker has gotten alot of accolades for his comedy and content creation skills but discovering this gem and believing in him so much should be commended. He is signed to Sydney’s Neville records.

In all of life’s glory, we hope he rises above all the challenges that comes from now on and hit heights that will be legendary. For all his hardwork and talent, Khaid is our Man Crush this week.

Highlights! Israel Adesanya shocks Alex Pereira with incredible knockout win | UFC 287

1

Israel Adesanya recaptured his UFC middleweight title in style last night (Sat., April 8, 2023) at UFC 287 live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Miami-Dade Arena in Miami, Florida.

Pereira landed early leg kicks that took Adesanya out of their orthodox stance. “Last Stylebender” was beginning to find success from range, but he lost a step when he needed to switch to Southpaw. “Poatan” continued his onslaught into the second round and Adesanya started to buckle on his busted leg.

That’s when Pereira backed Adesanya against the cage and all hell broke loose. Pereira landed a combination followed by a knee that seemed to hurt “Last Stylebender.” Adesanya came out of nowhere to counter with two vicious right hands and the champion fell to the canvas. Adesanya landed one final blow as Pereira was out cold.

It was the most incredible performance of Adesanya’s already legendary MMA career and a performance that puts him back on top of the sport. Check out the full fight video highlights below:
