<p class="wp-block-paragraph">MONROVIA — After weeks of high-stakes nominations, tense evictions, unexpected twists, and constantly shifting alliances, the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 11 is now officially in the hands of the viewing public.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>By Francis Boayue</em></strong></p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Following Sunday night’s live show, ten housemates—Aikou, Barry, Bluethopia, Flora, Keivo, Oyin, Ricky, Sheba, Temi Nkem, and Tram—secured their places in the grand finale.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From former Gambits who fought their way back for a shot at the crown to battle-tested housemates who survived multiple twists and eviction scares, every story now converges at a single pivotal moment. With just one last hurdle between the contestants and the grand prize, which includes a cash payout of N90 million, a brand-new vehicle, and ultimate bragging rights as the Season 11 winner, the stakes inside Biggie&#8217;s house have never been higher.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The cash prize heading into the finale stands at N90 million following a key season adjustment. The original N100 million prize was reduced by N10 million over the course of the competition, with those funds reallocated to the Most Influential Player of the Week (MIPOW) pot as a consequence of failed house challenges and insubordination by the housemates.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the finalists having played their last strategic cards, the power shifts entirely to the audience.<br>How to Vote</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The final voting window is officially open and will run until 9:00 PM on Friday, October 2. Fans across Liberia and the rest of the continent can cast their votes to back their favorite housemates through the following channels:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>MyDStv App</li>



<li>Africa Magic Official Website and Mobile Site<br>Viewers subscribed to higher DStv package tiers receive an expanded voting quota, giving them greater influence over who walks away with the title.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The crowned winner of Big Brother Naija Season 11 will be revealed during the live grand finale broadcast on Sunday, October 4.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For additional updates and official details, fans can visit the Africa Magic Big Brother Naija website or join the conversation on social media platforms using the hashtag #BBNaija.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="720" height="732" src="https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-366.png" alt="" class="wp-image-130146" srcset="https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-366.png 720w, https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-366-295x300.png 295w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>MONROVIA</strong> &#8211; Friday night, December 19, 2025, was a day for the history books. The ERA venue turned into a sea of people as fans from every corner of the city came out to celebrate one person: <strong>MC C</strong>ARO. The 4th edition of the <strong>KINGCARO Concert</strong> wasn’t just a show, it was a massive family reunion that proved why she remains the people’s choice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even though December is packed with events, MC <strong>C</strong>ARO’s annual concert stood out as the 2nd most attended event this season, right next to the Tidal Rave. For a female artist to pull this kind of crowd on her own is a move we haven&#8217;t seen in the last 10 years. But if you ask the fans, they will tell you it isn&#8217;t just about the music, it is about the love she has for the streets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>A Platform for Everyone</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The real beauty of the <strong>KINGCARO</strong> Concert is how it opens doors. MC <strong>C</strong>ARO has always made it her mission to give rising artists the big stage they deserve. This concert has become a blessing for many artists who are now trending, giving them that first major performance to show the world what they have.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A live testimony of this is the artist <strong>Brickson</strong>. After gracing the <strong>KINGCARO</strong> stage in the past, he saw his career take a major turn. In a heartfelt post of gratitude, he credited the platform for helping him reach where he is today. It is that &#8220;each one, reach one&#8221; spirit that makes this event different from any other.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="794" height="699" src="https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-367.png" alt="" class="wp-image-130147" srcset="https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-367.png 794w, https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-367-768x676.png 768w, https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-367-150x132.png 150w, https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-367-450x396.png 450w" sizes="(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong>Support from the Community</strong></figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The night was also about looking out for the fans. Because the love for MC CARO is so deep, <strong>Senator Johnny K. Kpehe Sr.</strong>&nbsp;and <strong>Tamba Hali</strong>&nbsp;stepped in to purchase a large number of tickets for those who couldn&#8217;t afford to pay. Their kindness ensured that hundreds of supporters were able to enter for free and witness the magic firsthand.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The Team and the Partners</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Behind the scenes, <strong>Helebor Entertainment</strong>&nbsp;worked tirelessly to make sure everything was professional and on point. From the lighting to the flow of the show, the team showed what Liberian excellence looks like.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also have to give it up for the Prime Sponsor, <strong>aQuaLife Liberia</strong>. As their Brand Ambassador, MC CARO has a solid partnership with the brand, and their commitment to her ambition has been nothing short of tremendous. They didn&#8217;t just sponsor a show, they invested in a vision.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Industry Love</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The stage was a star-studded affair as big artists came out to show their sister solid support. The energy stayed high all night with performances from:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="676" height="401" src="https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-368.png" alt="" class="wp-image-130148" style="width:800px" srcset="https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-368.png 676w, https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-368-150x89.png 150w, https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-368-450x267.png 450w" sizes="(max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Teddy Ride, Anitram, Will Flash, King Dennis, Natif, A-Wood, Nuchie Meek, Big Baby, Com Cruz, etc</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From her early days of the &#8220;Pro Poor&#8221; freestyle to winning Best Female Rapper and Hipco Artist of the Year, MC CARO has stayed true to her roots. This 4th edition proved that when you keep it real with your people, they will always show up for you.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="753" height="941" src="https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/image-443.png" alt="" class="wp-image-128559" srcset="https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/image-443.png 753w, https://frontpageafricaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/image-443-240x300.png 240w" sizes="(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the evolving landscape of Liberian entertainment, few personalities embody versatility and ambition quite like <strong>Eddie King</strong>, formerly known as <strong>TheMoney</strong>. Today, he stands out not only as a Liberia international music artist based in the United States but also as a forward-thinking entrepreneur making strategic investments back home. His journey reflects a powerful blend of creativity, vision, and business acumen—qualities that place him among the new wave of Liberian influencers shaping both culture and commerce.</p>



<span id="more-128558"></span>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>From TheMoney to Eddie King — A Reinvention with Purpose</strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eddie King’s transition from <em>TheMoney</em>&nbsp;to his current identity was more than a change of name—it was a strategic evolution. Speaking on his rebrand, he once noted:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“Growth requires new energy. Eddie King is not just a name—it’s a mission.”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This redefinition has brought clarity to his brand, positioning him as a global cultural ambassador and a model of intentional reinvention. Now blazing a trail from the U.S., he continues to create meaningful music while expanding his footprint in business.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>A Music Career Built on Global Vision</strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eddie King’s sound is a fusion of Afrobeats, Hip-Co, and contemporary rhythms, crafted to resonate with both Liberian and international audiences. His confidence in the global potential of Liberian sound is unwavering.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“Liberian music can stand anywhere in the world,”</em>&nbsp;Eddie King often emphasizes.<br><em>“My goal is to make sure the world hears it.”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With collaborations, performances, and releases that constantly push boundaries, Eddie King has become a bridge between the diaspora and the homeland—using music as his universal language.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Beyond the Studio: The Businessman at the Table</strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While music introduced him to the world, entrepreneurship shapes the legacy he’s building. Eddie King has carefully diversified his ventures, investing in businesses that reflect community needs and long-term sustainability.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>King’s Plaza — Innovation Meets Lifestyle</strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of his standout investments is <strong>King’s Plaza</strong>, a forward-thinking establishment that combines a <strong>bar, salon, and minimart</strong>&nbsp;under one roof. The space serves as both a social hub and a symbol of practical creativity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“I wanted to build something useful—somewhere people can relax, shop, look good, and feel at home,”</em>&nbsp;he explained.<br><em>“King’s Plaza is designed with my community in mind.”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Toldders Motors — Empowering Mobility and Commerce</strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eddie King further expanded his interests with <strong>Toldders Motors</strong>, a venture that strengthens his role in Liberia’s transportation sector. From vehicles to mobility solutions, the business reflects his commitment to elevating everyday life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“Owning a business is not just about profit,”</em>&nbsp;he says.<br><em>“It’s about creating opportunities and building something that outlives you.”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through these ventures, Eddie King is demonstrating how artists can leverage their influence to build sustainable enterprises that benefit both themselves and their communities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>A Blueprint for Modern Liberian Creativity</strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eddie King’s dual identity as an artist and businessman sets him apart. Many creatives struggle to balance passion with enterprise, but he has turned the two into complementary paths.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“I’m not trying to choose between music and business,”</em>&nbsp;Eddie King shared.<br><em>“Both are part of who I am—and they help me serve my people better.”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">His approach reflects the mindset of today’s global creative — multifaceted, strategic, and driven by purpose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Looking Ahead</strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With his influence growing internationally and his businesses expanding locally, Eddie King continues to cement his position as one of Liberia’s most dynamic figures. His journey is a testament to discipline, reinvention, and the power of investing in both talent and community.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eddie King is not simply bridging the gap between music and business—<br><strong>he is showing that the two can rise together.</strong></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>By Francis G. Boayue </em></strong></p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The highly anticipated track, which features the multi-talented artist Will Flash, is scheduled to drop on Thursday, December 4, 2025.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new single promises a captivating blend of infectious Afrobeat rhythms, soulful melodies, and a dynamic synergy between the two artists, cementing Stunn&#8217;s position as one of Liberia&#8217;s most consistent hitmakers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to Stunn, “LOVE” is designed to be a summer passion anthem, perfectly complemented by vibrant, beach-themed cover art that captures youthful energy and romance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The track explores the intoxicating experience of falling for someone whose presence fundamentally transforms one&#8217;s world.’’</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stunn showcases his signature vulnerability and devotion with heartfelt lyrics: “Baby no delay, I’ll be on the way whenever you call… Never felt this before… how you make my grey skies turn to blue, girl I wanna know.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Will Flash delivers a memorable contribution, elevating the song with a rhythmic and instantly catchy hook: “LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE / La only you can gimme love… / You the question to mi answer.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With its smooth vocals, melodic delivery, and expertly crafted, dance-ready production, &#8220;LOVE&#8221; is strongly positioned to become a dominant fixture across playlists, radio rotations, and nightlife venues throughout Liberia, West Africa, and the global Afrobeat diaspora.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The track, classified under the Afrobeat / Afro-Fusion genre, will be available for streaming and download on all major music platforms starting December 4, 2025.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Monrovia &#8211; When you talk about the new wave of Liberian artists breaking international boundaries, one name stands tall — <strong>Eddie King</strong>.<br>A U.S.-based Liberian singer, songwriter, and creative visionary, Eddie King is redefining what it means to make <em>LIB Music</em>&nbsp;global. His work fuses Liberian roots with Afrobeat, R&amp;B, and pop rhythms, creating a sound that resonates far beyond borders.</p>



<span id="more-127282"></span>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From viral collaborations to major performances across Africa, Eddie King is not just representing Liberia — he’s <em>exporting its sound</em>&nbsp;to the world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>From Monrovia to the World: The Rise of Eddie King</strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eddie King’s journey began in Liberia, where his passion for music grew amidst the vibrant street culture and energy of Monrovia. Relocating to the United States expanded his worldview and refined his sound — blending African storytelling with the polish of global production.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This dual identity has become his signature: authentic, melodic, and deeply connected to his homeland. Each record carries the heartbeat of Liberia, wrapped in production that can compete on any international stage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Collaborations That Bridge Borders</strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eddie King’s musical collaborations tell the story of cultural connection — uniting artists from Liberia, Nigeria, and the U.S. to push African music forward.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>“Evil People” (feat. Terry Apala)</strong>&nbsp;– A fierce Afro-fusion collaboration with Nigerian superstar Terry Apala, merging Lagos street energy with Liberian rhythm.</li>



<li><strong>“Work For It” (feat. SIO)</strong>&nbsp;– A motivational anthem that celebrates ambition and persistence, featuring Liberian vocalist SIO.</li>



<li><strong>“Omo Naija” (feat. Wale Waves &amp; Igbako)</strong>&nbsp;– A vibrant, cross-border jam that bridges Liberia and Nigeria, emphasizing unity through Afrobeat’s infectious rhythm.</li>



<li><strong>“Pakana Thang” (feat. FAZARI &amp; Bucky Raw)</strong>&nbsp;– Featuring U.S.-based Liberian artists FAZARI and the legendary Bucky Raw, this high-energy track blends diaspora energy with street credibility.</li>



<li>“<strong>In My Head” (feat. Hylan Starr-)</strong>&#8211; A smooth, soulful collaboration with Hylan Starr, American R&amp;B singer based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA..</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each of these songs reflects Eddie’s mission — to bring <em>Liberian artistry into global conversations</em>&nbsp;through collaboration, creativity, and cultural pride.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>A Major Moment: Performing at FELABRATION 2023 in Nigeria</strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 2023, Eddie King made history when he performed at <strong>FELABRATION</strong>, Nigeria’s iconic annual music festival celebrating the legacy of Fela Kuti.<br>Sharing the stage with some of Africa’s biggest names, his performance marked a powerful milestone for Liberian representation in the African music scene.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It was more than a performance — it was a statement. Eddie King showed that Liberian artists can hold their own on Africa’s grandest stages, bringing the <em>LIB Sound</em>&nbsp;to audiences who had never experienced it before.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>A Catalog That Speaks for Itself</strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eddie King’s growing catalog is both consistent and dynamic. From introspective songs to dancefloor bangers, he continues to push sonic boundaries.<br>Standout tracks include <em>“Here She Comes Again,” “Fire! (feat. Sheriolan),” “Mannequin,”</em>&nbsp;and <em>“Beneath My Feet.”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each release builds on the last — combining emotional depth, powerful visuals, and top-tier production — proving Eddie’s ability to evolve while staying true to his roots.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>More Than Music: A Brand, A Movement</strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beyond recording, Eddie King is an entrepreneur and cultural advocate. Through his visuals, brand collaborations, and commitment to showcasing Liberian excellence, he’s creating opportunities for other talents in the diaspora.<br>His projects go beyond entertainment — they’re part of a larger movement to position Liberia as a respected player in the global music ecosystem.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Why Eddie King Matters</strong><strong></strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>He’s opening doors:</strong>&nbsp;Collaborating across Nigeria, South Africa, and the U.S. to give Liberian music international reach.</li>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>By Francis G. Boayue</em></strong></p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the founder of Geez Liberia, Blama has provided a platform for emerging Liberian artists and cultural initiatives, contributing to the country’s growing digital media presence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Born on April 25, 1994, in Salala, Bong County, Blama grew up during Liberia’s post-conflict era, which influenced his interest in media and youth-focused storytelling.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He attended the Church of Pentecost Elementary School in Monrovia before his family relocated to the Firestone Rubber Plantation region, where he completed Division 16 Junior High School in 2011 and Firestone Liberia Senior High School in 2016.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Blama is currently studying Management with a minor in Public Administration at the African Methodist Episcopal University and holds a certificate in website design from the Orange Digital Center (2022).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Blama began his professional career in 2016 as a music producer, collaborating with local artists in Paynesville.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&nbsp;His interest in digital storytelling led him to work with PlusLiberia as a writer and web manager, which provided him with experience in entertainment reporting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 2018, he launched Geez Liberia (initially LIB Geez), a platform that now regularly covers music, lifestyle, and cultural topics, and has become one of Liberia’s most referenced online entertainment outlets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Expanding his media presence, Blama introduced a YouTube channel in 2021, focusing on discussions around the Liberian entertainment industry.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The following year, he hosted The Weekend Exclusive on Kool FM, covering lifestyle trends, music, and media developments. Today, under the Geez Media Incorporated umbrella, he manages subsidiaries such as Geez Ghana, Geez Nigeria, and Geez Sports.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Blama’s contributions have been recognized with several awards, including Blogger of the Year at the 2025 Young Achievers Africa Awards in Rwanda and Best Blogger of the Year at the 2025 Music Video Africa Awards in Nigeria.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 2024, he was named Blogger of the Year at the Paynesville Entertainment Awards, with Geez Liberia also receiving Blog of the Year recognition.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has earned additional nominations for Media Personality of the Year and Content Creator of the Year (Blog) at the West African Citizens Awards, as well as Online Media Personality of the Year at the WAFRIC Awards in 2018.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through his work with Geez Liberia, Blama continues to provide opportunities for emerging creative, supporting exposure for local talent while contributing to the professionalization of Liberia’s entertainment and digital&nbsp;media&nbsp;sectors.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">MONROVIA – A new movement aimed at professionalizing Liberia’s dance industry is gaining momentum, with a local group, the Fantastic Force Dance Crew, urging parents and community leaders to support the country&#8217;s rising young talent.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>By Francis G. Boayue</em></strong></p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In an interview with Frontpage Africa on Wednesday, the CEO of Fantastic Force Dance Crew Barclay M. Teah alias Barclay De Spider Man, said the group&#8217;s mission is to fill a critical gap in the Liberian entertainment scene by providing a formal platform for aspiring dancers who often lack the benefits and opportunities needed to grow their craft.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I noticed that there is a lot of young talent growing up when it comes to dance, without a benefit,” the crew&#8217;s founder stated. “I believe that I have the platform to help several young Liberians push the Liberia dance team to another level,” Barclay De Spider Man said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He also acknowledged the significant evolution in the local music industry, which they say has created a more fertile ground for dance. “Back then, Liberia’s music wasn&#8217;t moving along with dance, but it&#8217;s much better now,” the founder noted, explaining that the improved quality of Liberian music provides a better foundation for choreographers and dancers to express themselves. For the Fantastic Force Dance Crew, the work goes beyond mere entertainment. They see dance as a powerful tool for cultural preservation and inspiration.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to him, dancing and teaching have been deeply inspiring, and their ultimate goal is to “keep inspiring and promoting Liberian culture through dance and entertainment.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a heartfelt appeal, the group called on parents across the country to change their perception of dance as a career path and to actively support their children’s passions.</p>
