Prime Video has released first-look images for “Christmas in Lagos,” a holiday romantic comedy from “Gangs of Lagos” multi-hyphenate Jade Osiberu that features chart-topping Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr and a loaded cast of Nigerian pop and screen stars.
The film marks the first and only original to come out of Osiberu’s groundbreaking, multi-title pact with the streaming giant, which announced earlier this year that it was pressing pause on its original productions in Africa. Osiberu confirmed to Variety that she has formally exited that deal.
Taking its cues — and maybe a few meet-cutes — from “Love Actually,” “Christmas in Lagos” sets a series of interlocking stories against the backdrop of Lagos’ raucous “Detty December” festivities, following four friends navigating friendship, love and loss during the holiday season.
The cast includes Teniola A. Aladese, Shalom C. Obiago, Rayxia Ojo and Shaffy Bello, with on-screen appearances from some of the biggest names in Afrobeats,...

Kanye West certainly knows how to get press. A few short hours after it was revealed that he wouldn't be attending the MTV Video Music Awards, the rapper drops a helluva distraction: "Clique," his new single with Jay-z and Big Sean.
The song -- which was teased in a leaked snippet -- is off Cruel Summer, the upcoming G.O.O.D. Music compilation. It's produced by Hit-Boy, so it's no surprise that the drums have indeed showed up in full force.
Notable lyrics: Kanye bragging about Kim's sex tape (with Ray-j...), bragging about hanging out with former CIA director George Tenet, Jay-z mean-mugging snitches, Big Sean not sleeping for nine days, Big Sean shouting out 2 Chainz for no reason (no reason is needed!).
The song debuted on Kanye's website and was dropped by Hot 97's Funkmaster Flex as well.
Here's the full tracklist for Cruel Summer, due in stores Sept.
