Lauren London shuts down

Lauren London has set the record straight on rumours that she’s dating rapper Diddy less than a year after Nipsey Hussle’s death.

The actress lost her man, Grammy-winning rapper Nipsey Hussle in 2019 after he was shot dead. Since then, she hasn’t been linked with any man.

However, all that changed when hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, 50, shared a photo of himself with London, 35, during the Roc Nation pre-Grammys brunch.

He captioned the photo: “More lost files…me and my sister @laurenlondon at the @rocnation brunch.”

Though he referred to her as his sister, people began speculating that they are dating since both of them are currently single.

Lauren initially reacted to the rumours by posting a photo of late Nipsey Hussle alongside the caption, “Still His! King Ermias! Never Forget!”

When the rumours didn’t stop, she followed that up with a more aggressive post demanding the public “stop f***king playing” with her while she continues to mourn the death of her longtime partner.

She wrote: “I’m all love and peace but never forget….I’m a woman in grief and I don’t play about Nip, my family, my character and code. Bout to drink a green juice to start the day though.”

“You could tell he was very uncomfortable but he was so good at trying to shrug things off, he doesn’t want people to know how much it’s affecting him, he’s so strong and confident but it’s times like these when you just see him crumble. It was just heartbreaking to watch, it made me feel helpless.”

Any young man that gets down on his knees to propose to a girl is a bloody fool – Pete Edochie (video)

Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, has once again spoken against men ‘bending the knee’ to propose to a girl.

Yabaleftonline recalls that in January, a video of the actor speaking in Igbo and condemning the act of men kneeling to propose to their girlfriends went viral.

The actor was spotted recently and was asked to speak on wedding proposals, and again, he vehemently kicked against men going down on their knees to propose.

According to him, any man who does that is not “just an idiot but a compound buffon.

Any young man who gets down on his knees to propose to a girl is not just an idiot, he is a bloody fool, a compound buffoon. We try to copy white people.

I believe in the sancrosanctity of our culture, the essence and the core of our culture. The white man knees down to propose to a girl. You know what it means, the girl takes over the family. This is why whenever you disagree with a wife oversea, you are kicked out and your wife takes the house.

Young men who should be in charge of their destinies hand it over to women. That makes you all fools.”

When informed that it is love that makes men go down on their knees to propose, Edochie said

”I have lived with my wife for 51 years, nobody has said stop beating this woman.

Knee down before your wife, I will sympathize with you when she takes over the home” he said

Maryam Sanda appeals her death sentence

Maryam Sanda appeals

Maryam Sanda has filed an appeal against the death sentence she was handed by a Federal High Court in Abuja which found her guilty of killing her husband, Bilyaminu Bello.

The convict asked the Court of Appeal in Abuja to set aside the verdict and acquit her, on grounds of Justice Yusuf Halilu who handed her the death sentence being “tainted by bias and prejudices.”

Maryam alleged she wasn’t given a fair hearing and was convicted on circumstantial evidence by the trial judge who reportedly failed to rule on her preliminary objection, challenging the charge preferred against her.

She backed her claim by pointing out the evidence of witnesses, lack of confessional statement, absence of murder weapon, lack of corroboration of evidence by two or more witnesses and lack of autopsy report to determine the true cause of her husband’s death.

She said in her application;

“The honourable trial judge erred in law when having taken arguments on the appellant’s preliminary objection to the validity of the charge on the 19th of March, 2018 failed to rule on it at the conclusion of the trial or at any other time.

“The trial judge exhibited bias against the defendant in not ruling one way or the other on the said motion challenging his jurisdiction to entertain the charge and therefore fundamentally breached the right to a fair hearing of the defendant.”

Maryam added that the trial judge erred and misdirected himself by usurping the role of the police when he assumed the duty of an Investigating Police Officer (IPO) as contained in Page 76 of his judgment.

She added;

“The circumstantial evidence which the trial court relied upon in its application of the last seen doctrine does not lead to the conclusion that the defendant is responsible for the death of the deceased.”

No date has been fixed for hearing in the matter.

‘If your man is cheating on you, look at your four closest friends’ – Pastor Robert Burale tells women

Kenyan City pastor and motivational speaker, Robert Burale, has spoken out against infidelity in relationships.

During his recent appearance on ‘Mancave Discussion’ on Switch TV, the pastor noted that women are their own worst enemies, and added that if their spouses are unfaithful they should suspect their closest friends.

“I blame both men and women because the man is cheating with another woman. Women have become their own worst enemies. Chances are very high that if your man is cheating on you look at your four closest friends.

“I’ll tell you that without fear of contradiction or batting an eyelid. The person who is the most dangerous is the one you trust. It is the one you run to and say these are the issues I’m going through. She is the one who befriends you to cover up what she is doing with your husband. Not always but in most cases yes,”

He also addressed emotional cheating after a woman complained that her husband doesn’t open up to her.

“Emotional cheating is one of the most powerful things. Let me tell every woman today, when your man finds comfort in another woman even if they haven’t slept together, that’s so powerful. Negatively so.”

“For someone to say he loves and respects me that’s why he keeps it away from me, the fact that a man cheats on you shows he does not love and respect you. It comes a time when you have to put your foot down.

“In this day and age there are diseases and the worst thing is you walking with your husband or wife and the people who are sleeping with you are there saying you look good together. Protect your home because the moment you introduce two or three people that becomes a coalition government,” Burale added.

Why I didn’t sign any artiste to my record label – 9ice reveals

9ice reveals

Nigerian singer, 9ice, says he never signed any artiste to his record label because of the disagreements that come with record deals.

9ice, who doubles as the CEO of House of Ancestors, a label imprint he founded in 2008, disclosed this while speaking on his forthcoming projects and record strategies with Hip TV.

The 40-year-old singer, who once signed with Edge Records, a Lagos-based imprint, said he’ll rather engage talented singers, promote their brands in projects, and let them leave on their call.

According to him, signing an artiste comes with challenges, including realities on investment returns, that could leave the label and the artiste locking horns when the latter wants out.

“When veterans take up new artistes, there’s always issues like arguments which cause the artiste to leave, willingly or unwillingly. That’s the reason why I never officially signed any artist,” 9ice said.

“What I did with them was, ‘I have a label, come under this platform. If you have a song that I feel is good enough, I ‘ll support you, we’ll shoot the video and get it promoted.’ I mean, do your thing!

“When you feel you’re ripe enough to stand alone, I let you go. Signing artistes take a lot. They can claim their own right saying, ‘I’ve been under this label for long and they ‘re doing nothing for me.’

“But, in the end, both parties have their wrongs. The record label will tell you something like, ‘We’ve invested N40 million and haven’t even gotten back N30 million and he said he wants to go.’

“And the artsiete would defend himself saying ‘You invested 40 million but we signed two years. Whether you make your N40 million or not, it’s my time to go.’ So, both parties have their rights.

“So, to avoid these issues, I think it’s better one gets investors and record companies on a larger scale, that can invest money and spread it in the long term, so it won’t be just from the music scales.

“Maybe also merchandise and all that but, if you don’t have enough funds, you can’t do all these. If you’re not making money from the record sales, you can tap into merchandise and other areas.”
