<p>In the film, Blue Ivy voices Kiara, the daughter of King Simba and Queen Nala, portrayed by her mother Beyoncé, who reprises her role from the 2019 photorealistic remake.</p>

<p>Directed by Barry Jenkins, known for "Moonlight," the prequel delves into Mufasa's origin story and his childhood alongside his brother Scar. Similar to the 2019 movie, it will blend live-action filmmaking techniques with photoreal computer-generated imagery.</p>

Disney's successful 2019 adaptation of "The Lion King" is getting a prequel. During its 2020 investors day presentation, Disney confirmed that Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins ("Moonlight") will direct the follow-up."'Mufasa' is the origin story of one of the greatest kings in the history of pride lions," director Barry Jenkins told fans at 2022's D23 Expo, saying that the film will be told in different time frames as it shifts between the present and past.Rafiki, Timon, and Pumbaa are all narrating Mufasa's story, which will show how he came into power."Mufasa was actually an orphaned cub who had to navigate the world alone, by himself," Jenkins said of the prequel. "In telling this story, we get to experience the real journey of how Mufasa found his place in the Circle of Life."You can read more on the prequel here.

<p>Jenkins praised Blue Ivy's professionalism, noting that both she and Beyoncé approached their roles with dedication. He highlighted their natural mother-daughter dynamic, stating that they didn't have to pretend much on set.</p>

<p>The teaser trailer for the film debuted on the US breakfast show Good Morning America, hinting at Mufasa's transformative journey despite his humble beginnings.</p>

<p>Aaron Pierre and Kelvin Harrison Jr. voice the younger versions of Mufasa and Scar, respectively, in the prequel. Donald Glover returns as Simba, with a cast that includes Mads Mikkelsen, Thandiwe Newton, Seth Rogan, and Billy Eichner. Lin-Manuel Miranda contributes original songs to the soundtrack.</p>

<p>While this marks Blue Ivy's debut film role, she previously showcased her talents as a dancer on her mother's live tour. Her involvement in the film inevitably reignites discussions about nepotism in the entertainment industry.</p>

<p>"Mufasa: The Lion King" is set to hit UK theatres in December of this year. </p>

<p>Mufasa, from Disney's "The Lion King," is the noble and wise king of the Pride Lands, ruling over his vast African domain with fairness and compassion. As the father of Simba and mate to Queen Sarabi, Mufasa serves as a mentor, teaching his son valuable lessons about responsibility, leadership, and the circle of life. </p>

<p>His character embodies strength and dignity, earning him respect and admiration from all who know him. However, his reign faces threats from his jealous brother, Scar, who plots to take over the throne.</p>

<p>Tragically, Mufasa's life ends when Scar engineers a wildebeest stampede, resulting in a heart-wrenching scene where Mufasa dies while trying to save Simba. His death marks a pivotal moment in the film, pushing Simba on a journey of self-discovery and redemption as he grapples with the weight of his father's legacy. </p>

<p>Mufasa's memory lives on as a symbol of paternal love, guidance, and sacrifice, making him one of the most beloved and iconic characters in popular culture.</p>

In the film, Blue Ivy voices Kiara, the daughter of King Simba and Queen Nala, portrayed by her mother Beyoncé, who reprises her role from the 2019 photorealistic remake.

<p>Last year, Barry's remarkable 4,000km (2,500-mile) journey captured headlines, and in a video call to Cairo, where Barry is currently studying, Smith expressed being "<em>deeply moved</em>" by his efforts. Smith generously gifted him a new bike and a laptop during the call.</p>

<p>Smith learned about Barry's epic journey from a BBC Instagram post in September. In a short film uploaded to Smith's YouTube channel, Barry appeared astonished to be speaking with the Men in Black star. </p>

<p>"<em>This is Will Smith!</em>" exclaimed a smiling Barry. "<em>A lot of your films I love</em>." Expressing his gratitude upon learning about the gifts, Barry said, "I<em> don't know how to thank you, Wallahi [I swear]! I don't know how to thank you</em>."</p>

<p>Smith's publicity team reached out to the BBC after the story of Barry's odyssey was published, stating that it had deeply touched the actor. They sought to find a way for Smith to speak to Barry.</p>

<p>In May of the previous year, the 25-year-old Barry embarked on his journey from Guinea to Egypt's prestigious Al-Azhar University, hoping to secure admission. Unable to afford a flight, he cycled through Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin, Niger, and Chad over four months.</p>

<p>Despite facing challenges, such as being detained three times without cause, Barry's fortune changed when his story was shared online by a journalist in Chad. Good Samaritans subsequently funded a flight to Egypt for him. Upon reaching Cairo, he was offered a university place for Islamic studies and later engineering, along with a full scholarship.</p>

<p>"<em>When you commit to a journey, the universe conspires to help you,</em>" Smith told a delighted Barry, referencing author Paulo Coelho. In the video, someone is seen presenting a bicycle and a laptop to the student as heartfelt gifts.</p>

<p>While representatives for both artists have not commented on the news, speculations began when the couple attended an event in St. Louis, Nelly's hometown. A video from TMZ captured a moment where Ashanti and Nelly were seen affectionately touching Ashanti's stomach.</p>

<p>If the rumors are true, this would mark Ashanti's first pregnancy and Nelly's third child. Nelly, 49, has two grown children, Chanelle and Cornell Haynes III, from his previous relationship with Channetta Valentine. The couple had an intermittent relationship for nearly 11 years before officially splitting in 2013.</p>

<p>In a September interview with Rasheeda from "Love and Hip Hop" on her "Boss Moves" TV show, Nelly addressed the renewed rumours about their relationship, confirming that they were back on good terms. </p>

<p>He mentioned that their reconciliation was not planned but seemed to be a result of time and distance, allowing them to get to a better place in their relationship. As of now, neither Nelly nor Ashanti's representatives have provided official comments on the reported pregnancy.</p>

Reports indicate that Ashanti and her partner, fellow music star Nelly, are expecting their first child together.

It is literally a record I created, and I was like, no, this song is meant for Sarkodie after I wrote it. There are some songs you write, you're just a vessel at the end of the day if you know your song. So, I knew in my heart that this song was not mine, so I performed it to him.</em></p>

<p><em>"Afterwards, he came to Lagos to do his promo, and then I played it to him, and I was like, 'bro let's have it.' He agreed, then we shot the video. For the next three months, the song became one of the biggest songs; it was crazy</em>,” he explained.</p>

<p>Oxlade expressed how this collaboration significantly contributed to his career and acknowledged that aligning himself with the right people, such as Sarkodie, played a crucial role in his success.</p>

<p>The song '<em>Non-Living Thing</em>' by Sarkodie featuring Oxlade gained immense popularity after its release in the latter part of 2021, becoming one of the most well-received songs in the region.</p>

He added that "<em>everything that I said will happen, happened, everything I said I wanted to do, I am done and it is the blueprint to me and my life and my journey is there already.</em>"</p>
