Before Tiwa & Tee Billz and Naeto & Nicole, there was Linda Ikeji & Dan Foster. We take a walk back in time as we profile some of the biggest hook-ups from yesteryears.

Nigerian celebrities may whine about how much they like to keep their private affairs away from prying eyes like ours, but the truth is what's a celebrity without a lil dirt, anddishing on whose 'waist' they have...and lost.

Linda's claim to fame: Former model turned gazillionaire 'it' blogger

Dan's claim to fame: American citizen and arguably Nigeria's first uber-celebrity radio On-Air Personality. Glamorised radio presenting in Lagos and is largely responsible for the fact that 95% of Nigerian OAPs now have either borrowed, bought or infected foreign accents

Joseph's claim to fame: Super Eagles captain/International footballer

Uche's claim to fame: Nollywood actress (??)

Stephanie's claim to fame: Nollywood actress/producer

Chikelue's claim to fame: Ex-Super Eagles Player

Jim's claim to fame: Nollywood actor/badboy extraordinaire

Steph-Nora's claim to fame: Nollywood actress

Ebube's claim to fame: Nollywood actress/Card-carrying member of ACSMS (Association of Celebrity Social Media Show-offs)

KC: Musician/Former half of KC Presh/Limpopo crooner...

, but KC later denied the reports.

Iyanya's claim to fame: Award-winning artiste and possessor of 'waists'

Yvonne's claim to fame: Media personality and advocate of 'mboks'

You read it here first...

In the days before Iyanya sold his R&B soul to the god of Kukere, and when Vixen was still the queen of the red carpet, the duo found love in a not-so-broken place. Unfortunately, this fizzled out faster than the etighi dance. Iyanya went on to lust after Yvonne Nelson's waist and Vixen, well she went on to develop a male alter ego - what a man can do....

Cobhams' claim to fame: Musical genius, our very own Stevie Wonder

Lala's claim to fame: Actress/Producer/Theatre patron

Yes, Lala and Cobhams were once a pair. You see, long before there was Tiwa Savage and Tee Billz, there was Lala and Cobhams. They were a match made in music heaven with Lala's golden voice and Cobhams' mastery of music. We're talking red carpet events, attending church services hand-in-hand, Lala accepting awards on behalf of Cobhams...it was as hot 'n' heavy as you could get. Unfortunately, things fizzled out amidst speculations of one party's family not being in full support of the union. Onwards, onwards...
