Video streaming platform Netflix has announced a 40% increase in subscription prices in Nigeria, marking the second price hike this year. The latest adjustment follows a previous price hike implemented three months ago, reflecting the company’s ongoing strategy to adjust pricing in response to local economic conditions and rising operational costs.

On its website, Netflix stated, “As we continue to add more TV shows and movies and introduce new product features, our plans and prices may change. We also may adjust plans and pricing to respond to local market changes, such as changes to local taxes or inflation.”

Netflix also provided answers to several common questions about price changes, including how users will be notified via email one month before the new rate takes effect. If you don’t see the email, check to be sure your account email address is correct.

Users can compare current plans and pricing on their account and change plans at any time. Once a price update is announced, users will be subject to the new rates.

Netflix currently offers four plans: Mobile, Basic, Standard, and Premium.

The Mobile plan, which accommodates one user per device, will now cost ₦2,200, up 83% from ₦1,200.

The Basic plan has increased by 21% to ₦3,500 per month, up from ₦2,900.

U.S. rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was further implicated in new court documents that claimed he paid $1 million to have Tupac Shakur assassinated in 1996.

Mr Combs’ name appeared in the records over 75 times.

Key suspect Duane ‘Keefe D’ Davis, who was apprehended in Tupac’s murder probe last year, said Diddy had funded his rival’s assassination on September 7, 1996, according to court documents obtained by U.S. Sun.

Pseudonyms ranging from Puff Daddy, P Diddy and Diddy were mentioned in the documents filed on July 18, where the first reference indicated that there was already bad blood between Diddy and Tupac.

The “deadly rivalry” between Diddy’s Bad Boy Records on the East Coast and Tupac’s Death Row Records, then owned by Marion “Suge” Knight on the West Coast, was not a secret in the hip-hop industry.

Keefe told law enforcement that Diddy paid $1 million to another gangster, Eric Von Martin, to kill Tupac.

According to Keefe’s account in court records, Diddy reached out after the news of Tupac’s assassination broke, asking whether it was “us” or another rival gang.

“Sean Combs reaches out to Defendant wondering if South Side Crips were responsible for Shakur’s death by asking, ‘Is that us?’,” court records showed. “Defendant, beaming with pride, answers, ‘Yes’.”

Keefe had willingly given up the information under the assumption that he had immunity from prosecution, which had now backfired and could be used to convict him.

“Defendant( Keefe) asserted that the conspiracy to commit the murder began in California between Defendant, Eric ‘Zip’ Martin, and Sean Combs,” court filings stated

Keefe admitted to LA police detectives that his nephew Orlando ‘Baby Lane’ Anderson “popped the dude (Tupac), narrating in detail how his nephew “leaned over, rolled down the window, and popped them.”

“Defendant [Keefe] has asserted publicly that he only told on himself and wasn’t trying to provide evidence against anyone else in his conversations with police. However, this statement belies this claim, as he suggested that Sean Combs paid Eric Von Martin a million dollars for the killings,” the court records stated.

When police questioned him, asking, “When you said paid, paid by Puffy, right?” Keefe responded with a “Yeah,” court records showed.

“I wish I never met Puff Daddy, period. I swear to God…He messed up my life, man. I was, I was rich, up under the radar, all that, man…it’s all gone,” court records cited Keefe as saying.

“I appreciate the fact that you want him to get value for his hard work, which is very valid, and I want you to understand that you are doing something good

“At the end of the day, no dime was made from this song by me, nothing like that. The N2 million I gave him was from my personal hard earned money. I did that just for humanity and not for profit.”

“I have not had any cause to be in the same room with him, not to talk of being his side chick. I’m happily married with two beautiful children. So for a jobless, wicked blogger to decide to put my name amongst women who have been with this man is totally wicked and unfounded.
