Oscars: John Cena Strips Naked For Award Presentation

Published

on

At the 96th Academy Awards on Sunday night, American professional wrestler and actor John Cena made a memorable appearance by presenting the award for best costume design in a unique way.

The 46-year-old wrestler walked onto the Dolby Theatre stage in Hollywood completely naked, using only the presenter’s card to cover his genitalia.

Host Jimmy Kimmel set up the comedic stunt by referencing a past Oscars streaker from 1974, prompting Cena to playfully continue the tradition.

As the audience chuckled at the memory of the historic Oscars streaker, host Jimmy Kimmel playfully pondered the idea of a contemporary nude dash across the stage, remarking, “Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be crazy?”

In a surprising twist, shirtless John Cena made an unexpected appearance, poking his head out from the stage corner.

Cena, however, swiftly changed his mind, informing Kimmel, “I do not want to do the streaker bit. I just do not feel right about it. It is an elegant event, you know; you should feel shame right now for suggesting such a tasteless joke.”

During the banter, Kimmel defended the comedic bit, stating it was “supposed to be funny.”

In a humorous comeback, Cena quipped, “The male body is not a joke!” Kimmel countered by mentioning Cena’s wrestling career, suggesting he wrestles in the nude.

Cena corrected him, saying, “Dude, I don’t wrestle naked. I wrestle in jorts!” The exchange continued with Kimmel humorously asserting, “Jorts are worse than naked!”

This light-hearted exchange added a playful and entertaining dynamic to the Oscars ceremony.

Following the banter, Cena made a bold entrance on stage with only a large envelope concealing his private parts, eliciting laughter from the audience.

However, faced with the challenge of opening the envelope without adjusting it, a quick cut ensued, revealing Cena in a golden toga resembling a curtain.

The comedic interlude seamlessly transitioned into presenting the award for best costume design, ultimately won by Holly Waddington, the designer for “Poor Things.”

2Baba, Annie react to her brother's allegations

Nigerian music star, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, and his estranged wife, Annie Idibia, have sparked fresh speculation about their relationship after following each other again on Instagram.

The development has caught the attention of fans, coming more than a year after 2Baba publicly announced their separation and revealed that they were filing for divorce.

Checks on Monday showed that the former couple, who had previously unfollowed each other on Instagram, are now following each other again.

The move has triggered speculation across social media, with some fans wondering whether the development could signal a possible reconciliation between the two.

Annie has also reportedly reverted to the name Annie Idibia on Instagram after recently changing it to Annie Macaulay, adding further fuel to the growing speculation.

However, neither 2Baba nor Annie has confirmed that they are planning to reconcile or revive their marriage.

The latest development comes after years of public scrutiny surrounding the couple’s relationship.

2Baba announced in January 2025 that he and Annie had been separated for some time and were “currently filing for divorce.”

The announcement generated widespread reactions, particularly given the couple’s long and sometimes turbulent relationship.

The singer initially deleted the post amid claims that his Instagram account had been hacked but later confirmed that he was responsible for the announcement.

2Baba and Annie’s relationship dates back to the early years of the singer’s career. Annie featured in the music video for his hit song African Queen, and the pair eventually got married in 2013.

They held two wedding ceremonies, with their traditional wedding taking place in Akwa Ibom State and their white wedding held in Dubai.

Their marriage subsequently faced several public controversies, including disputes surrounding 2Baba’s relationships with other women and his children from previous relationships.

In 2021, their marital crisis attracted significant public attention after Annie accused 2Baba of travelling to the United States to spend time with Pero Adeniyi, the mother of some of his children.

Despite the challenges, the couple remained together and renewed their vows in 2023 to mark their 10th wedding anniversary.

Their relationship later suffered another major setback, eventually leading to 2Baba’s separation announcement in 2025.

Following the separation, 2Baba went on to marry Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru.

While the latest Instagram connection does not confirm a reunion, it has nevertheless reignited discussions about the possibility of 2Baba and Annie making peace.

Tonto Dikeh Received N400k From Fans After Complaining Bank Issues

Nollywood actress and politician, Tonto Dikeh, has unveiled a new spiritual movement, the New Wine Prophetic Tabernacle (NWPT), marking a new chapter in her increasingly public Christian journey.

Dikeh announced the new movement on Sunday through her Instagram page, describing NWPT as an interdenominational altar and a “global movement of consecrated believers” called to experience the power, purity and presence of God.

The movement is anchored on the biblical passage in Mark 2:22, which speaks about new wine being put into new wineskins.

According to the actress, NWPT was established to provide a platform for prayer, revival, spiritual training and transformation.

Its vision is to promote a global awakening of believers committed to their faith, with the aim of transforming nations and advancing the Kingdom of Christ.

The movement also stated that its mission includes building an interdenominational altar of prayer and revival, equipping believers, activating spiritual gifts, encouraging soul winning and promoting spiritual freedom through the power of the Holy Spirit.

However, Dikeh stressed that NWPT is different from a conventional church.

“This is not a church; it is an intense gathering of those consecrated and equipped for the purposes of God,” the announcement stated.

The new movement is expected to hold weekly fellowship every Friday at 6pm.

The development comes months after Dikeh became increasingly open about her Christian faith. She began signing some of her social media posts as “Ada El-Roi” and became active in Pastor Jerry Eze’s NSPPD community.

In December 2025, the actress also shared a testimony at Streams of Joy International Church, where she spoke about overcoming struggles including smoking, alcohol addiction, masturbation and prolonged anger.

Dikeh said she started smoking at the age of 13 and credited God with delivering her from the struggles.

The actress, who ventured into politics in 2022 as a governorship running mate in Rivers State, has continued to attract public attention with developments in both her personal and professional life.

Earlier in 2026, she reflected on her turbulent marriage to her former husband, Olakunle Churchill, years after their highly publicised separation.

The pair later reconciled publicly, bringing an end to their long-running feud.

‘No Dey Jealous’ – Peller, Jarvis Hit Back at Wedding Critics

Published

on

Popular Nigerian TikTok stars Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, and Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, better known as Jarvis or Jadrolita, have fired back at critics of their recent wedding, urging them to stop being envious and focus on their own lives.

The couple, whose wedding became one of the biggest talking points on Nigerian social media over the weekend, shared a now-viral video of themselves dancing and singing while seemingly addressing those who questioned their decision to marry at a young age.

In the video, the newlyweds sang: “Na we dey love, na them dey cry. Go and make it. No dey jealous. Na we dey buy car. You will run mad. Stop thinking.”

The clip quickly gained traction online, with many social media users interpreting it as a direct response to the criticism that followed their wedding.

Reacting to the video, a social media user identified as Lombardio commented, “This boy did the worst mistake of his life, but he has no idea. Here in America, before you agree to a court wedding with a woman, you need to sign a valid prenuptial agreement.”
However, others defended the couple’s decision.

Another user, Osinachi Wisdom, wrote, “This marriage will favour them; many people expect them to break up later, but believe me, their union will be one of the best. Kudos.”
Similarly, another commenter, Jay, praised the couple for embracing each other’s imperfections.

“They both saw and knew their shortcomings; still, they got married. That’s real love. Marriage isn’t about love alone but the ability to manage the shortcomings. I wish you two everlasting happiness and peace in your union,” Jay said.

Peller and Jarvis’ wedding, held on Saturday, attracted congratulatory messages from fans, celebrities and fellow content creators.

However, it also sparked debate, with some Nigerians arguing that the pair were too young and questioning whether they were emotionally and financially prepared for marriage.

Despite the backlash, many supporters maintained that age should not determine the success of a marriage, insisting that mutual understanding, commitment and compatibility are more important.
