"I Have More Classic songs Than Michael Jackson" — Sir Shina Peters Brags.

Nigerian Juju music legend, Sir Shina Peters, has boldly declared that he has produced more timeless hits than the late American pop icon, Michael Jackson.

Speaking on the Honest Bunch Podcast, the Afro-Juju pioneer reflected on his enduring legacy and the importance of creating songs that stand the test of time.

“The only thing you can show for showbiz at the end is how many evergreens you have produced. To my credit, I have four evergreens. Even Michael Jackson has just two; Of The World and Thriller. So, if I have four, I am accomplished,” he boasted.

The veteran musician, whose career has spanned decades, emphasized that the true measure of success in the music industry lies not in fleeting fame but in producing evergreen records that outlive trends and generations.

“Let’s Do It!” — Paris Jackson Excitedly Accepts Britney Spears’ Birthday Coffee Invitation

Pop icon Britney Spears is reaching out to the daughter of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, and fans are loving every bit of it!

Taking to Instagram on October 16, 2025, the “Toxic” singer revealed her birthday wish — to have “coffee, lunch, or dinner” with Paris Jackson, 27. Spears also mentioned Hollywood legend Michelle Pfeiffer, saying she’d rather spend quality time with these “cool and beautiful people” than fly anywhere for her special day.

“It is important to look up to people and still believe in humanity,” Britney wrote in her heartfelt post, expressing admiration and warmth toward the two women.


Not long after, Paris Jackson — singer, model, and actress — responded with enthusiasm via her Instagram Story, posting a smiling selfie and writing:

“Ok my Sag queen, @britneyspears, let’s do it ,”
referring to Britney’s Sagittarius zodiac sign.


The sweet exchange quickly melted fans’ hearts, especially since Paris had publicly supported Britney during her conservatorship battle years ago. In a 2021 interview with Access Hollywood, Paris praised Britney, saying:

“I am proud of any strong woman who is willing to speak her truth and do what is right for her health.”

It’s not the first connection between the Spears and Jackson families — fans fondly remember Britney’s iconic 2001 performance with Michael Jackson at Madison Square Garden, a moment still celebrated in pop history.

Now, over two decades later, it seems their legacies are crossing paths again — this time, over coffee and kindness.

MTV to Shut Down Music Channels After Nearly Four Decades of Broadcasting.

MTV, the world’s first 24-hour music television network, is set to end its long-standing run of non-stop music broadcasting in the UK after nearly 40 years. The network will shut down five of its UK music channels MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live on December 31, according to reports

The decision marks a significant shift in viewing habits, as audiences now primarily watch music videos on YouTube and social media platforms instead of traditional TV. Paramount, MTV’s parent company, has not issued an official statement regarding the closures.

Launched in the US in 1981, MTV revolutionized music entertainment by airing pop videos introduced by “video jockeys” or VJs, who became stars in their own right. The channel delivered iconic moments such as the debut of Michael Jackson’s Thriller video, the 1985 Live Aid concert broadcast, and the creation of the MTV Video Music Awards.

MTV expanded to Europe in 1987, and the UK launched its own channel in 1997 with Three Lions by David Baddiel and Frank Skinner as its first video. The network helped launch the careers of several presenters, including Cat Deeley, Zane Lowe, and Emma Willis, and later moved into original reality programming with shows like Ex On The Beach and Teen Mom UK.

Reports suggest that Paramount will also shut down MTV music channels in other countries such as Australia, Poland, France, and Brazil, as part of a global cost-cutting plan aimed at saving around $500 million (£376 million).

Earlier this year, Paramount also closed its Television Studios division, which produced Jack Ryan and The Spiderwick Chronicles. In the UK, MTV’s original productions like Gonzo and Fresh Out UK were also cancelled.

Despite declining viewership, MTV’s UK music channels still drew modest audiences, with MTV Music reaching 1.3 million viewers and MTV 90s attracting 949,000 in July, according to Barb ratings.

MTV will continue to maintain its presence through social media platforms and Paramount’s streaming service, Paramount+.

News Brief: Michael Jackson’s Gravity-Defying Lean Explained

In 1987, Michael Jackson stunned the world in Smooth Criminal, leaning 45° forward without falling — an apparent defiance of physics.

For decades, fans and scientists puzzled over the move. In 2018, a team of neurosurgeons finally revealed the secret: Jackson and his team patented special shoes that locked into pegs on stage, allowing the star to achieve the impossible lean while using his core strength to hold the position.

The illusion became one of his most iconic dance moves, blending biomechanics, innovation, and artistry in a way no performer had done before.
