Kansas driver’s license law puts some transgender residents in ID limbo A new Kansas law has effectively invalidated the driver’s licenses and other government-issued documents of transgender residents, leaving many in legal and personal limbo. Senate Bill 244, which went into effect immediately after the legislature overrode Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto, requires that the gender listed on a driver’s license align with the state’s binary definition of male and female. The law also directs the state registrar to “correct” birth certificates that do not match these definitions. Unlike similar restrictions in other states, Kansas’ law retroactively invalidates previously issued documents.

‘I am obsessed with Jamaican culture’


Sultry Nigerian singer, Chidozie Ugochinyere aka Fave, has revealed that there’s an unknown side of her which is very obsessed with Jamaican culture.

Fave, whose collaboration with Davido on the hit song, ‘Kante,’ has further increased her fame worldwide, made this known in a recent interview.

In her words, “I’m aware I don’t have that many songs out there, so people have this certain idea of me:  “Fave is this sultry singer.” But there’s also a side of me that is very attached to dancehall; very obsessed with Jamaican culture. Everything is so raw, so real. I always unintentionally or subconsciously find myself creating things that have that foundation of Jamaica or dancehall or reggaeton.”

The 24-year-old singer further said though she began her career singing sombre music as a result of her musical influences, she doesn’t love to stay in one genre of music.

“I do not love to stay in one genre of music. I really love to explore. As I started to branch out in the industry, I started to tell myself to see what happens if I actually try to handle a different genre. I realised that I actually had a lot of potential in me for different genres of music. As of right now, it’s still very exciting for me. As much as I used to run away from Afrobeats before, because it was very uptempo, now I’m like, “Bring it all. You’re definitely getting to see a different side of me.”
