Beyoncé reveals how negative comments online from trolls affected her daughter Blue Ivy

Beyoncé recently opened up about her daughter Blue Ivy Carter’s experience with negative online comments following her first performance.

The revelation came during the premiere of the Renaissance film in Los Angeles on Saturday, Nov. 25.

According to Beyoncé, Blue Ivy expressed her desire to perform, but initially, her mother hesitated.

Eventually, Beyoncé gave in and allowed her daughter to join her on stage for a one-time performance.

Disappointingly, after the show, Beyoncé discovered that Blue Ivy, who is just 11 years old, had gone online and encountered critical comments about her dance moves being labeled as “uninspired” and “stiff.” 

Critics even went as far as suggesting that Blue Ivy’s presence on stage was solely due to her mother’s fame, rather than her own talent.

With one saying: “I’m sorry but Blue Ivy isn’t doing it for me on these tours. It’s giving I’m a star because my mom’s famous not because I’m actually good.”

Beyoncé revealed feeling “dismayed” upon learning that her daughter had been exposed to such negativity.

However, she was thrilled when Blue Ivy decided not back down and put in the effort to improve instead of giving up.

As a result, Blue Ivy continued to dance alongside her mother during subsequent stops on the tour, demonstrating her power and determination.

In response to this incident, fans have taken to social media, condemning the act of trolling children and expressing their support for Blue Ivy.

Woman Arrested After Being Caught M@sturbating Openly On The Beach, Incident Goes Viral

A woman’s day at the beach took a shocking turn when she was arrested after being caught in a compromising situation.

Christine Revels-Glick, 34 at the time, was discovered pleasuring herself with a vibrator on a beach in Georgia, United States, under the assumption that nobody would witness her actions.

However, her escapade did not go unnoticed.

People in the vicinity not only saw her but also heard her unmistakable “moaning.” Alarmed witnesses promptly alerted the authorities, who swiftly arrived at the scene.

Initially, when approached by the officers, Revels-Glick denied any knowledge of the incident, claiming she was merely lying on her towel, enjoying the day.

Doubtful of her story, the police requested to search her bag, causing Revels-Glick to grow increasingly agitated.

Eventually, under mounting stress, she confessed to using a vibrator, stating:

“I was covered up and I just had an orgasm.”

Overwhelmed by the situation, Revels-Glick broke down in tears as she was handcuffed by the police.

Footage of the arrest quickly garnered millions of views after its release, capturing the attention of a wide audience.

Following her arrest, Revels-Glick was released on subpoena, but the legal ramifications she may face remain uncertain.

Atlanta-based attorneys suggest a potential jail sentence of up to 12 months.

A Nigerian lady, who identifies as @theOluwabukunmi, has shared on social media multiple reasons why ladies should not date broke men.

Israel DMW's friend drags

A lady who claims to be friends with Davido’s logistics manager, Israel Afeare, also known as Israel DMW, has spoken out in his defense following his marital crisis with his estranged wife, Sheila Courage.

Israel DMW's friend drags

Speaking further, she took a swipe at Sheila’s virginity status at the time of her marriage to Israel, stating that some ‘road girls’ are better than some virgins. She added that virginity is not a guarantee for a successful marriage.

Jessica also criticized Sheila for agreeing to marry Israel despite knowing the nature of his job and being fully aware that she wasn’t comfortable with it.

Israel DMW's friend drags

Read her full post below,

“Israel is my friend, he is very down to earth and loyal person. He may have his flaws no doubt but he did his best! I know Isreal and know some things that happened,” she wrote.

“He was almost depressed and if this is the best way for him to vent his anger and move on with his life, I stand with him. His estranged madam was busy cruising up and down, the young man was down.

“He had peace before he got married, and peace departed after marriage. Which wife tells husband to lodge her in a hotel since he is travelling for business meeting outside their state?

“How many of you men want to be the woman in the house while your wife become the man? Isreal doesn’t want to do business this bla bla bla, cut the crap

“You know his nature of job yet you accepted his PROPOSAL AND SAID YES TO HIM, suddenly you dislike his life style. Did he ever tell you he was working in an oil company?

“Do not tell me pressure pushed you into marriage because you are only 21. If you are dating anyone and you do not like their lifestyle QUIT FAST, do not marry anyone thinking you can change them, what you cannot change you learn to live with it.

“There are better ways to talk to a man to make him see reasons with you, Isreal married you not your mother and family.

“In all, avoid broke girls and avoid broke guys. Being a virgin is not a guarantee for successful marriage, some Ihama road girls better pass some holy holy. Na we wey de talk our own come out na be bad person! I am allergic to poor boys, go and call police. ”

Trinity Guy under

Nigerian skit-maker, Trinity Guy, has come under heavy criticism for creating a skit about the marital troubles of Davido’s logistics manager, Israel DMW, and his estranged wife, Sheila Courage.

It was earlier reported that Israel and Sheila had parted ways just a year after their lavish wedding in Benin City, Edo state, in October 2022.

Over the weekend, both parties shed light on the reasons behind their split. Israel accused his wife and family of being gold diggers, alleging they made him pay N1 million to marry her because she was a virgin. In contrast, Sheila cited emotional abuse, domestic violence, and a lack of vision as her reasons for leaving the marriage.

Amid the drama surrounding their marriage, controversial skit-maker Trinity Guy decided to create a comedy skit based on their marital crisis.

The comedian, who recently spent some weeks in jail over a controversial skit involving a minor, went as far as using the estranged couple’s real names in the skit.

In the video, he portrayed Israel, prioritizing his boss over his wife and even abandoning his wife during intimate moments to attend to his boss.

This clearly didn’t sit well with many social media users, who didn’t hesitate to criticize Trinity Guy for making a joke out of Israel’s plight.

“Kuku un-caution his house” – Nigerian lady damages landlords property after he refused to refund her caution fee (VIDEO)

A video which was shared on social media and has gone viral, captured a Nigerian lady damaging some properties in an apartment while moving out.

According to the caption attached to the video, the lady claimed that her landlord refused to refund her 3 months caution fee.

 

She wrote; “POV: your landlord refuse to refund your 3 month caution”

A caution fee which is an amount of money someone has to pay when they rent a property, but is to be returned to the tenant if nothing was damaged.

The landlord however went against this, thereby going against the agreement they had both signed while she was moving in.

This resulted in the lady destroying majority of the properties within the apartment, like the toilet water closet, the mirror in the bathroom, staining the walls and more.

In her opinion, since the landlord would not refund the caution fee, he should use it to repair the things she damaged on her way out.

See some of the reactions below,

@iameniolamyde:  Sometimes , you need to be this petty though . I really wish I was this petty. Agreement is agreement!

He also shared a lengthy post explaining his side of the story and detailing why their marriage fell apart barely seven months after their society wedding in Benin City in October 2022.

He claimed that she dumped him as soon as she became popular on Instagram and accused her and her family of being gold diggers who defrauded him.

However, Sheila went online to counter his accusations, revealing that she left the marriage due to emotional and domestic abuse.

Israel DMW shares

She recounted instances when he locked her out of their matrimonial home over minor issues and warned her against turning on the generator when he wasn’t around.

She also claimed that she encouraged him to start a business venture and ‘build up an empire’ besides working for his boss, Davido, but he refused to heed her advice.

Contrary to Israel’s claims that her family are “gold diggers”, Sheila disclosed that she is from a well-to-do family, adding that her dad and former Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, are “first cousins”.

Despite the messy drama, some women trooped to Israel’s DM to ask him to marry them since his wife is not cooperating with him.

He shared screenshots of the messages and explicitly stated that he is not interested in marrying a ‘church girl’ anymore.

“All Nigerian celebrities behave like Israel DMW in front of politicians” – Seun Kuti

Controversial Nigerian singer, Seun Kuti has opined that the majority of Nigerian celebrities act in the same manner as Israel DMW while meeting with politicians.

He stated this while reacting to the ongoing drama between Israel DMW and his wife, Sheila,  whose marriage appears to be tense due to the former’s submissive demeanour and connection with his employer.

The majority of Nigerians are undoubtedly aware of Israel’s utmost dedication, respect, and commitment to Davido, his employer. Many, on the other hand, believe that it is being done to such an extent that it is insulting to his position as a husband and a man.

According to Seun, dignity and Nigeria are incompatible.

He claimed that most Nigerian superstars behaved behind the camera in the same manner as Israel does when they meet celebrities.

He wrote,

“All the celebrities in Nigeria behave like Israel in front of politicians and billionaires, na praise una dey praise dem na. Why is this different ? At least David isn’t sucking your blood!
Who deserve hailing? Question for the gods.”

Daddy Freeze went on online to share his two cents about the testimony. He asserted that he can’t serve a God who stops snow but watches his children suffer in poverty and can’t resurrect his servant, Osinachi, and deceased singer, Mohbad.

Addressing his followers, the controversial on-air personality stated that those serving Daddy Adeboye’s God are doing it at their own risk because he has proven to be “unprofitable.”

“My dad came back to d!e in our house after abandoning us” – Terry Apala

According to Apala, who made this revelation in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, his father passed away at their home on the same day that he paid them a visit.

He said:

“My dad was not there [for me]. He was not there. He was just somewhere, living his life. I have no relationship with him at all.

I left my dad in 1990 and the day I saw my dad was the day he was dying. He came all the way from Apapa to our house in Mushin. He was strong and healthy. He asked after my mum and I told him she wasn’t around.

I called my mum and informed her that my dad was around and she told me to ask him to leave. I told my dad what my mum said but he insisted that he would wait till she came back. Because my other siblings heard he was around, they couldn’t come home that night.

So, it was just me, my dad, and our lastborn, Obi. We slept together. He slept on the bed with my junior brother. I think he was throwing up when I woke up. It was very touching. Even though I didn’t really feel bad because this man was not there, but, you know, you go pity person wey don die. So, that was the day I saw my dad last. From our house to mortuary.

I think he knew that he was going to die because we didn’t see him for like 15 to 17 years and suddenly, he came and rested in our house and went straight to mortuary.”

“I don’t know how to handle the pressure that comes with fame” – Ilebaye confesses

Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’ winner, Ilebaye Odiniya, has disclosed that she is having trouble adjusting to her newfound status as a celebrity.

She said that she decided to psychologically be ready for stardom before going back to the BBNaija house, but she said she didn’t know how to deal with the pressure that came with it.

The 22-year-old reality TV star said in an open interview with The Punch that her rise to stardom has given her and her family numerous opportunities.

Ilebaye said;

“I don’t really know how to handle the pressure that comes with fame. Before I went into the BBN house, I told myself that l had to be mentally ready for everything that would come.

I just have to keep things on the low and be able to adapt to whatever comes my way. Besides, I see anything that comes my way as what is expected. It is left for me to overlook things, including clashes and backbiting, and just focus on my future.”

Fame has done some things for me. It has given me a family; I have a lot of fans. There are many people who love me for who I am. It has brought me good luck and so many opportunities. It has basically made me the star I am today.”

Speaking on the perception people have about her pretending to be from a humble background, the self-proclaimed Gen Z baddie said;

“Regarding the notion held by some people that I am from a rich home but was behaving as if I was from a modest background in the show, I will say that I was not being humble. I was just being myself in the house; that’s all.”

 

“My lover and I don’t believe in marriage” – Iyabo Ojo reveals

Popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has stated that despite not being married, she and her lover, Paul Okoye, popularly known as Paul O, are happy in their relationship.

The Nollywood actress claimed that she and the music executive don’t want to be married because they do not believe in the institution.

Iyabo emphasised that marriage is overrated on a recent episode of her TV show, Iyabo Ojo TV, alongside veteran musician Charly Boy.

She said:

“I am enjoying my relationship. I am enjoying it. Luckily for me, he [Paulo Okoye] also doesn’t believe in marriage. We feel like it is overrated.”

Charly Boy concurred:

“I agree with you that marriage is overrated. My son called me the other day and said, ‘Dad, why can’t people have a contract and say we will just do five years in marriage and if we are lucky and happy, we renew the contract?’

It sounds funny but you know, there are different coping mechanisms because these days, marriage is not what it used to be when our parents got married. Marriage is a little bit muddled up now. And people are a little bit more individualistic than they used to be before. Nobody wants to serve anybody. Everybody wants to get their own. So, that’s where the problem starts.”

Former Paralympic Champion Oscar Pistorius Granted Parole, Set To Leave Prison 10 Years After K!lling Girlfriend

Former Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius has been granted parole and will be released from prison nearly a decade after being incarcerated for the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

He successfully won his case during a parole board hearing, leading to his imminent release.

The South African athlete, who is a double amputee, shot and killed Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day in 2013.

In 2016, he was sentenced to 13 years in prison for her murder, claiming that he mistook her for an intruder and that the shooting was a tragic mistake.

The Department of Corrections in South Africa announced today that Pistorius will be released on January 5, following which he will undergo therapy for anger management.

However, he will remain under supervision and will be restricted from leaving the area of Waterkloof, where he will be residing with his family for a period of five years.
