The British Royal Family, Beyonce, Celebrity Relationships
- A self-acclaimed "Beyonce Addict," Damilola enjoys nothing more than catching up on Queen Bee's latest incredible concerts. Unsurprisingly, she attended the ThisDay Music Festival where Beyonce was the headline act. "Mind-blowing" is how she will always describe the experience.
- She is a big fan of the British Royal family, and if you ask her, the Megxit will remain one of the biggest controversial moments of the decade. Keeping up with the royals and writing about them might just be her favorite thing ever.
- As a freelance writer, she has covered several stories about celebrity relationships. A personal favorite at Nicki Swift so far is about Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari's rocky relationship.
