Talk show host, Wendy Williams decided she’s finally had enough of her philandering husband of nearly 22 years and served him divorce papers at her TV studio in Manhattan last Thursday.
The 47-year-old was fired from the show and as Wendy’s manager, a source on the show confirmed to DailyMail.
The source also said Hunter had been given 48 hours to remove his belongings from their marital home in Livingston, New Jersey as she was seen apartment hunting in New York City on Tuesday.
Wendy reached her tipping point after learning Hunter had been living the high life with his decade-long mistress Sharina Hudson, who gave birth last month, splurging on Rolls-Royces, Ferraris and gifting her with diamonds.
Hunter released an apology on Tuesday admitting he was not ‘proud of his recent actions’ and was ‘trying to right some wrongs’ while taking ‘full accountability’ for what he had done.
His groveling statement came after the flashy $215,000-plus gold Ferrari Portofino he gifted Hudson was seen being towed away – a day after Wendy hit him with the divorce papers.
Model and reality TV star, Blac Chyna is being sued by her former landlord over unpaid rent.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Michael Kremerman is suing Blac Chyna for breaching her lease.
He claims that in 2017, Chyna signed a one-year lease for a 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom, $4.5 million Studio City home from Kremerman at $16,000 a month. He claims she extended the lease until March 31, 2019.

Kremerman says he is owed $30,546 in unpaid rent, plus $18,006.06 in damages. This brings it to a grand total of $48,552.06. Kremerman is suing Chyna for the entire balance, plus attorney fees.
Fejiro Oliver the journalist, who accused the chairman of Sapele Local Government in Delta state, Eugene Inoaghan, of taking viral sensation, Sucess Adegor, to a beer parlor, has alleged that some persons are making threats to his life.
Oliver has now in an updated post, said he has been receiving threatening calls since yesterday.
He wrote,
Update: Life under threat because of Success Adegor post
This afternoon, I made a harmless post about Success Adegor of the “no be say I no go pay viral story” on how she was spotted in a beer parlour.
Now, perception is key in everything. I called for the suspension of the Sapele LGA Council boss, Mr Eugene, for carrying success and staying with him where him and his friends were gulping alcohol. On the table are bottles of alcohol and cans of beer. For heaven’s sake, why must the little girl be introduced to that?
The post has since gone viral.
I have received countless calls over the issue and given my words to some concerned persons on what they asked.
This evening, at exactly 7:25pm a number 09029287265 called me after I missed a call from that same number by 6:50pm, the voice at the background identified himself as Samuel and demanded to know if I’m Fejiro Oliver. I asked for his full name and he went ballistic.
The young man threatened that for writing against his boss on my wall, they will find me all over Nigeria and deal with as well as hack my facebook accounts.
“I will hack your number and we will track you anywhere in Nigeria”.
He has just spoken the mind of the Council Chairman. I kept quiet and he ended the call. He called back again and began to rant before handing the phone to a lady who identified herself as Barrister Gloria who also poured out venom on my person, saying I want to destroy the man.
He has been in office for almost two years and I have not investigated him despite the complaints from the council staff. How then am I destroying him?
This is to Eugene, Samuel, Gloria and all their clique, the governor will not only hear this but I will take it up to the highest level.
Eugene whom we elected as a local government chairman has recruited thugs to hunt me. He should honorably quit that seat or be suspended by the House of Assembly to join the thug business.
This battle go over you. This will not be the end of it.

In a post she shared on Instagram, she said she first noticed complications when she bled for a month during her period which is unusual. Paying a doctor a visit led to further complications.
Read below ;
My Birth control almost killed me literally. So boom story time…. since March 3 I was on my period and didn’t stop bleeding until April 6th, that never happened to me so I made a doctors appointment to figure out why I was bleeding so heavy.
Turns out my IUD moved out of my uterus. So yesterday Monday the 8th I got my IUD taken out and they replaced it with a new one. But my body rejected the first one, so my smart self should have thought more before trying to put another one in there.
So like 25 min go by I get home and I started vomiting viciously I was having hot flashes, passing out. I went back to the emergency room Monday night around 7pm and they said the new IUD was being pushed out my uterus what the hell I had to stay in the hospital to make sure my uterus didn’t get infected! I was in excruciating pain and this post is not for sympathy it is honestly to educate all my ladies out there all these hormones are unnatural and could be fatal.
I literally almost lost my life just because I didn’t wanna end up pregnant. Now I’m moving forward and going #birthcontrolfree I refuse to be a victim. Now I’m going to play it safe and take better care of my body nothing unnatural is going in me ever again. Ladies please educate yourself about the birth control you are using I don’t want you to go through this !!
A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State has convicted and sentenced Sata Owugha Clinton and Bolounmubofa Blessing Soroh to one year imprisonment for impersonation and using the identity of a petitioner to enrol in the Federal Government of Nigeria’s N-POWER Social Welfare scheme.
The convicts were arraigned by the Port Harcourt’s Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on a one-count charge bordering on impersonation under Section 22(3) (a) of the Cybercrimes Prohibition, Prevention Act 2015 and punishable under Section 22(4) of the same Act.
Clinton and Soroh got into trouble when they used the name and identity of Lovedy Chiamaka Uzor to enrol in the welfare scheme and in the process obtained the sum of N360,000 (Three Hundred and Sixty Thousand Naira only) from the scheme. They were able to open a bank account in the name of Uzor because she also applied for the scheme, but stopped her application mid-way, fearing that the scheme may be a scam.
The convicts capitalized on this and completed the enrolment processes in the victim’s name. The victim got wind of their fraudulent activities when she contacted her bank and found out that the convicts were already receiving payments from the scheme in her name.
The charge reads: “That you, Sata Owugha Clinton and Bolounmubofa Blessing Soroh on or about the 10th of October, 2017 at Zenith Bank within the Jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did fraudulently impersonate one Loveday Chiamaka Uzor with intent to gain advantage for yourselves thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 22(3) (a) of the Cybercrimes prohibition, Prevention Act 2015 and punishable under Section 22(4) of the same Act.”
They pleaded “guilty” to the charge. In view of their pleas, prosecuting counsel, Alao Rashidat, prayed the court to sentence the defendants for the offence of impersonation accordingly as contained in the Cybercrimes Prohibition, Prevention Act.
Justice Sani, thereafter, convicted and sentenced them to one year in prison.

Dearest frank,
I never dreamed that I would find someone who challenged me to see the world in the way that you do; a man who makes me laugh and loves me in abundant, a man who gives me butterflies when he walks through the door. I didn’t believe that I could find a man who would remind me every single day to dream bigger, to work harder, to open my heart to the possibilities of this beautiful life.
I never realized that I could love anyone as much as I love you.
Right from the moment you walked into my life on the 4th of January, you have shown me what it means to live and love, to give of my heart fully, to wake up every morning with the hope of helping others and to always put God first.

Controversial man of God, Prophet Kumchacha has shockingly revealed that any woman who screams the name of God or Jesus Christ when having s*x will end up in Hell.
Prophet Kumchacha who is the leader and founder of Heaven’s Gate Ministry has said that, whether the woman is making love with her husband or boyfriend, once the person screams the name of Jesus Christ during the act, she will not miss hell.
“Whether you are making the love with your husband or your boyfriend, once you scream the name of Jesus Christ while in the act there is no way you will not go to hell”, he revealed during a live television discussion on UTV.
According to him, specially trained angels will subject you to all forms of severe beatings on judgment day before throwing you into hell because shouting the name Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit under such instances constitutes a grievous punishable by being thrown into hell.
“God is not his personal property it is the omnipresent God we all know. Read Exodus 21:1-7 it says you should not mention the name of God in vain. So while being romanced if you are mentioning the name like that you commit a big sin. If care is not taken you could be flogged one day by invisible hands while in the act”, he added.
President Donald Trump is considering imposing travel restrictions on countries whose citizens overstay short-term visitor visa, according to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
The American president and some of his aides are reportedly considering the move as a means of curbing immigration.
The journal listed Nigeria, Chad, Eritrea, Liberia and Sierra Leone as some of the countries whose immigrants overstay their visas at relatively high rates.
The Trump administration wants “to reduce overstay rates for visas and the visa waiver program — and it’s well known that the administration is working to ensure faithful implementation of immigration welfare rules to protect American taxpayers,” WSJ quoted Hogan Gidley, White House spokesman, as saying.
The report added that the US, as part of the new rule, “would tell the countries’ governments that if rates don’t reverse, then future visas could be shorter or harder to get, according to an administration official who described the move as putting those countries “on notice.”
“Ultimately, nationals from countries with high overstay rates could be barred entirely, though the official said no ban is now under consideration,” the report read.
The White House is also said to be considering a number of other rule changes that will make it more difficult to obtain student and investor visas, as well as visas for spouses of highly skilled H-1B-visa holders.
On Monday, the United States embassy in Nigeria said its visa officers do not enjoy denying Nigerians visa.
It explained that some questions often misunderstood by applicants which earn them a rejection, while announcing a Facebook Live session to talk about some of the commonly misunderstood questions on Wednesday.
Media personality, Stephanie Coker has spoken of the risks involved when one undergoes plastic surgery for the sole purpose of getting other people’s attention.
Her unpopular opinion comes at a time when so many Female celebs jump on the act and surgically improve their bodies just for the social media clout and fame.
Sharing a bikini photo of herself, Stephanie Coker wrote:
“Although this was captured perfectly by renowned photographer @kelechiamadiobi This image Is not flawless and it has nothing to do with lighting, angles or the environment. It is because the subject herself is imperfect.
I always wanted to keep this image in my closet room for my eyes only. Until last week when a friend said she was going to get a BBL.
Now I am not opposed to one altering their looks, it is not my place to judge, however, I do find following such life threatening trends to grab the attention of others a bit risky. Especially when most men on this side of the world are walking around looking like Humpty Dumpty. There have been a handful of cases that I personally know of women who have lost their lives to plastic surgery.
I say all this to say, if you are going to get plastic surgery, please do it for yourself at least, and research the risks to your health and weigh up your options”
PDP Presidential candidate in the February 23rd presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, has insisted the result from the server of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) shows he defeated President Buhari in the presidential election.
Atiku gave this submission to the presidential election tribunal and he released a “unique MAC address and Microsoft product ID of the INEC server” from where the results were obtained.
INEC had on February 27th, declared that President Buhari polled a total of 15,191,847 votes to defeat Atiku who polled a total of 11,262,978 votes.
However in his petition submitted at the election tribunal, Atiku claimed he polled a total of 18,356,732 votes to defeat Buhari, who, according to what the INEC server showed his team, polled 16,741,430 votes.
INEC while reacting to Atiku’s claim, said the figures that was presented by the PDP candidate were forged.
In response to INEC’s claim, Atiku and the PDP in a statement released today, said the address of the server from which the results were obtained are unique to INEC.
“The Servers from which the said figures were derived belong to the first Respondent (INEC). The figures and votes were transmitted to the first Respondent’s Presidential Result’s Server 1 and thereafter aggregated in INEC_PRES_RSLT_SRV2019, whose Physical Address or unique Mac Address is 94-57-A5-DC-64-B9 with Microsoft Product ID 00252-7000000000-AA535. The above descriptions are unique to the 15t Respondent’s Server,” they said.
Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party
“There is no conjecture in the votes and scores in the table pleaded by the Petitioners. The figures are factual. The Spokesperson for the 2nd Respondent’s Campaign Organization openly admitted that the data in question was in the first Respondent’s Server when he wrote and submitted a petition to the Inspector General of Police and the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS) asking the Security agencies to investigate the 2nd Petitioner herein for allegedly hacking into the Server of the 1St Respondent and obtaining the data in question.
“Specifically, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, the Spokesperson of the 2nd Respondent claimed in the said petition that it was the first Petitioner who smuggled the data into the Server.”
Atiku and the PDP also alleged the INEC chairman “committed grave errors in the final collation exercise” for the election by “falsely crediting” some persons with political parties, including “Okotie Christopher, Reverend Dr. Onwubuya and Ojinika Jeff Chinze.”
“The grave errors referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5 above were under the hands and signature of the first Respondent’s Chairman, (who was also the Returning Officer) in the conduct of the final collation of the results of the Presidential Election,” they added.
“The Petitioners state that the final results as declared by the first respondent are those that were transmitted online to the website of the first Respondent (www inecnigeria.org).”
Peter Okoye has been criticized by his followers after he gave a piece of advice which many did not accept.
The singer shared a post which said, “If you really love your children, get a business, not a job, because when you die your children cannot inherit your job, but they can definitely inherit your business…”
But not all of Peter’s followers agreed with his post and some questioned him for it. Some told him it’s easy for him to say, considering that he has the capital to finance a business, whereas, for a lot of Nigerians, their businesses die due to unfavourable policies and lack of funds.

IK Ogbonna has filed a lawsuit against an Instagram influencer Bold Pink, who accused him of being gay.
In a video she posted some few days back, Bold Pink had called out the actor for having sexual relationship with other male actors, especially the upcoming ones.
Well, it looks like the lady has bitten more than she could chew as the actor has just filed a lawsuit against her and also demanded a retraction of her statement and a public apology.
The actor wrote ;
A free platform created for promotion and marketing has given people cheap voices to speak cheaply about people’s hard earned integrity. Most of those who wants us to come out with “who we truly are”…as they claim, have themselves nothing to show to anyone.
The noises are mostly made and heard from the empty barrels. We give attention to what is of value not what takes our attention from what is of no value. And very soon, society must weed out the tares that prevent the wheat from standing out.” If u come with allegations pls come out of the closet with prove to ur allegation.
Davido, Afro-pop singer and song writer, says he is taking a one-month break from his phone and social media to hasten the completion of his forthcoming album.
The “dami duro” singer said this through a video shared on Instagram.
For everybody that has been trying to reach me on my phone, WhatsApp or Whatsoever, I have decided to go phone-less for the next month just so I can finish my album and focus on things I need to focus on,” Davido said.
“So If you’re trying to reach me, call Lati (His Personal Assistant),” he added.
A man and his wife are currently going through troubling times after the charm he used to enlarge his penis size gave him a size that is way bigger than what was anticipated.
The man reportedly went in search of a penis enlargement charm after his wife complained about his less than satisfactory performance in the bedroom.
The couple, from Mahwelereng in Mokopane, Limpopo, South Africa, has been married for more than a decade, but the wife said her husband became sexually weak three years ago.
The wife began to complain about his weak sexual game and he secretly sought out a native doctor to help enlarge his male member. Sadly, the charm backfired by giving him a penis that is too large for comfort.
He said: “She was always complaining that I didn’t satisfy her sexually and I thought going to a native doctor to get charm would help save my marriage. But now I just want my manhood reduced to its normal size.”
The wife complained about his new size, saying: “His manhood wasn’t working very well. But lately, I don’t even sleep with him because he is hurting me. I even told his mum I want to go back home.”
Explaining why the husband’s penis size grew too large, James Chuma, a native doctor originally from Sudan but based in Mokopane, said his client took an overdose of the manhood charm he gave him.
He said: “This man didn’t follow my instructions. He kept drinking that charm even when his manhood was growing big.
“But I will help him reduce it to a normal size. It was for him to chose the right size, not me.”

Popular Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has reacted to a statement by President Muhammadu Buhari’s media aide that those making ‘clean money’ in Nigeria are not complaining under the present government.
Bashir Ahmad had stated this in response to Omotola’s description of Nigeria as ‘hellish’ under President Muhammadu Buhari’s watch.
Recall that Omotola made the remark on her Twitter page on Monday while calling out Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo over the state of the nation, coupled with killings across Nigeria.
In response, President Buhari’s personal assistant on new media, Ahmaad, in a tweet, stated that those who were making money legitimately have no complaint about the current state of Nigeria.
”Madam Omotola those who are working for CLEAN money are not complaining and will never refer our dear country as ‘hellish’. In Kano State alone, from 2015 to 2018, no fewer than 200 medium and small scale rice milling centres emerged. For that, billions circulated among millions.”
However, Omotola this morning took to her twitter handle to react to the insinuation that her outburst was because politicians in the Buhari-led government do not give her free money.

The United States Embassy has stated that it doesn’t enjoy denying Nigerians visa. The embassy made this known in an effort to correct ‘alleged anomalies’.
Nigerian have now been asked by the US Embassy to follow a Live Facebook on the issue on Wednesday 2pm.
US Embassy, Nigeria
A statement reads:
Contrary to popular opinion, visa officers do not enjoy handing anyone the 214b refusal letter.“Proof: Visa Officers will be live on Facebook to talk about some of the commonly misunderstood questions on the DS 160 and help you improve your next application.”
Some Nigerians, however, stormed the page’s comment section to disagreeing with the embassy’s statement.
A certain Akufai Valentine Jonah recalled how he was denied a visa despite obtaining a scholarship in 2013.
He wrote:
“I had a terrible experience in 2013. I got a scholarship to attend a conference in Denver but I was denied a visa . I was not angry because I was denied visa. I was angry with the disrespectful manner the consular officer spoke to me.“Imagine giving one that refusal letter and you are told ‘off you go’ without any tangible explanation. After reading the letter, it states that I don’t have strong ties to my country either through being married, neither do I have a job. Back then I worked with an NGO and it was clearly stated in my application form. I have forgotten the third excuse. “I just laughed and left, I know people who were single then and are still single today that have got US visas. I know people who have no jobs but have got US visas. I know people who had zero travel records but were granted US visas. Since that episode I have never ever applied for a US visa because I don’t have any business there for now.”
Adaobi Emmanuella Njoku wrote ;
“Contrary to what you just posted, I think and believe they actually do enjoy it because they act like they know it all and still end up giving visas to people without genuine intentions.“I can’t wait for Wednesday to come because I have already prepared my questions. They will explain to me how it is possible to deny a person a visa three times with three different reasons at different times when the form was filled exactly the same and for the same purpose: for a medical trip to help save one’s child. I can’t wait for Wednesday.”
