R&B icon D’Angelo dies at 51 after battle with cancer

Celebrated soul musician, D’Angelo, has died at the age of 51 after battling pancreatic cancer, several US media outlets reported on Tuesday.

“The shining star of our family has dimmed his light for us in this life… After a prolonged and courageous battle with cancer, we are heartbroken to announce that Michael D’Angelo Archer, known to his fans around the world as D’Angelo, has been called home,” his family said in a statement to Variety.

D’Angelo was an acclaimed R&B singer and won plaudits for albums including his 1995 debut “Brown Sugar” and “Voodoo,” released in 2000.

“Such a sad loss with the passing of D’Angelo. We have so many great times. Gonna miss you so much. Sleep peacefully D’ Love You KING,” DJ Premier wrote on X in tribute.

D’Angelo and DJ Premier collaborated on the 1998 single “Devil’s Pie.”

The musician’s passing was reported by People magazine and TMZ, among others.

Music industry bible Pitchfork credited D’Angelo with helping to “define the neo-soul movement.”

Born in Virginia, D’Angelo was something of a recluse and only periodically surfaced to release music, most of which was received favorably by fans and critics.

In 2016, he featured on a playlist used by former US president Barack Obama, alongside other musical greats like pop superstar Janet Jackson, soul singer Janelle Monae and blues rocker Gary Clark Jr.

Peller reveals why he prefers self-pleasure to cheating on his wife

Published

on

Popular Nigerian content creator and streamer, Peller has revealed that he would rather masturbate than cheat on his wife.

He explained that he believes in respecting his partner and following medical advice regarding their sexual relationship.

Speaking about an experience in Barbados, Peller disclosed that his wife once caught him masturbating, a moment he said left him shocked.

According to him, his wife questioned why he had resorted to masturbation instead of approaching her for intimacy.

In response, Peller explained that a doctor had advised them to abstain from sexual intercourse temporarily, adding that he chose to respect both his wife and the doctor’s instructions.

He said, “For me to cheat, I would rather just masturbate. My wife caught me doing it in Barbados. I was shocked. She asked why I didn’t come to her, and I told her the doctor said we shouldn’t have intimacy for the time being. I respected her and the doctor.”

His comments have sparked conversations about fidelity, sexual boundaries in marriage, and whether masturbation can be an alternative to infidelity when couples are temporarily unable to engage in marital intimacy.
