The video has so far amassed 3,838 likes – so we’ll have to see if he stays true to his word and enters the villa dominating everyone’s attention right now.

It’s long been rumoured that Umanah was vying to enter as a bombshell in the villa, with the programme having just introduced their first bombshell yesterday evening.

The comments section on the video also indicated as such, with some suggesting that this has long been known by now. Others were new to the concept however, but are still pushing for him to enter the villa and stay true to the challenge he set.

The Weeknd changes his stage name back to Abel Tesfaye

May 16 2023

Canadian pop-star The Weeknd has officially reverted back to his birth name Abel Tesfaye on all social media accounts, saying that he has said all had to say under his alias.

Taking to Twitter last April, the artist asked his fans whether he should make the change: ‘Abel formally known as The Weeknd’.

This comes after the artist revealed that he wanted to ‘kill the Weeknd’ and that he is going ‘through a cathartic path right now.’

‘It’s getting to a place and time where I’m getting ready to close The Weeknd chapter.’ He told W Magazine that, ‘As The Weeknd, I’ve said everything I can say’ and that his upcoming album would be his last one under the name.

The artist became one of the world’s biggest stars, winning even title of most popular artist in the world by Guinness World Records in 2023 due to the number of monthly listeners.

He has won four Grammy awards, and boasted 111.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify as of March of this year.

This means that nearly a third of the country tuned in, with an additional 16,000 streaming it on TVMi.

These numbers are close to the all-time viewer record for TVM, previously achieved by shows like X Factor Malta and Malta’s Got Talent, which had around 180,000 viewers. Love Island Malta will continue airing every other day, except Fridays and Saturdays.

The executive producer, Christian Gravina, apologised for streaming issues due to high traffic and assured fans that they are actively working to resolve the problem.
