“This is threatening” – Fans knocks Isreal DMW over comment on James Brown’s recent video

Nigerian singer Davido’s aide, Isreal DMW, has caused a stir with his comment on a recent video of Nigerian crossdresser, James Brown.

It all began when celebrity blogger Tunde Ednut shared a video of James Brown being interviewed at an event by media personality, Timi Agbeje on his Instagram page.

In the video, James Brown, dressed in a pink dress, is seen exhibiting his usual feminine gestures while answering Tumi Agbaje’s questions.

Family accuses Lagos restaurant of hoarding their daughter’s corpse after she diəd at work

The family of a young lady has accused a popular restaurant in Lagos of withholding the corpse of their daughter after she slumped and died at work.

According to the family, their daughter passed away while on duty at the restaurant, but they allege that the establishment has refused to release her body to them.

They also claimed that the only information they received from the restaurant was that their daughter fainted and died while trying to dry her wet clothes.

The family has called out the restaurant, accusing them of refusing to disclose the whereabouts of their daughter’s corpse or release it to them.

“She started working at KFC barely two months ago. On Friday last week, she was said to have slumped at about 11 PM. KFC claimed she just screamed and fell while trying to hang her washed clothes. According to them, they rushed her to the hospital, but the first hospital rejected her because of a deposit. It was the second hospital they took her to that pronounced her dead on arrival.

KFC took her body to the morgue without informing her family. And as we speak, they are yet to show the family where they have placed her body. Even the police have refused to disclose the location to the family.

We suspect that they are attempting to cover up something. We don’t believe she just fell like that. KFC claimed she screamed and fell, but they didn’t inform her family who lives nearby. They took her to the hospital and still didn’t notify her relatives.

She died, and they took her body to the mortuary without informing her family. They immediately went to the Festac police station to make an entry without informing the family.

It was the police who later called the family on Saturday afternoon, instructing her mother to come to the station because her daughter had encountered issues at work. However, when the woman arrived there, they reluctantly informed her that her daughter was dead.

She wasn’t sick. In fact, she was perfectly fine and healthy. We suspect electrocution (this is our assumption) because there was a statement made by a policeman to the elder brother. He said, and I quote, ‘Oh, it’s you who electrocuted your sister in Festac.’ She was the only daughter in her family. She started working at KFC after dropping out of nursing school,” a family source said.

“She’s an ug.ly chick who wants me so bad” – Wife devastated after finding old messages on her husband’s phone from when they first met

A wife has been left devastated after discovering the unflattering things her husband had told his friend about her when they first met.

The 40-year-old woman, identified as Jane Lewis from New Jersey, checked her husband’s phone last month with his permission but was left heartbroken by what she saw.

She discovered messages of her partner bragging to his friend about ‘an ugly chick’ who supposedly wanted him desperately.

In one of the messages, her husband described her as ugly and claimed she was desperate to be with him.

The message read, “She’s an ugly chick who wants me so bad.”

He went on to provide intricate details about their relationship at the time, including the fact that they hadn’t been intimate despite Jane’s willingness to do anything for him.

He also mentioned feeling obligated to “make out with her a little bit” in order to keep Jane happy.

These hurtful messages were sent six years ago, but Jane only discovered them last month, after they had already gotten married in 2021.

He told his friend he moved in with Jane but said he didn’t find her attractive like the ‘hot girls he sees all the time’.

Jack then went on to say that he believed he could get any girl but most ‘hot chicks are stuck up anyway’.

Jane said she immediately confronted her husband, who was embarrassed and made the excuse that he was trying to make himself feel better at the time.

The mother-of-three said her confidence has been shattered, and she admitted that if she had found the messages earlier, she would have considered leaving him.

“I went through his messages to see who he was talking to. Him and his friend don’t text that often so I only had to scroll back about ten messages. ‘I got to one from when we first got together saying he was using me for my money, how ugly I am and he won’t have sex with me.

“It was pretty bad. It was very shocking. I was devastated. He was mortified, he was pretty upset and he apologised. He said he felt bad about himself [at the time] and he wanted to make himself feel better.

“I don’t know how I’ll move on from it. I’m hurt by it. If he asks me a question, I say: “‘I’m not stupid, I’m just ugly”. He calls me beautiful but I don’t believe him. It’s knocked my confidence. I have ugly duckling syndrome. I’ll always think I’m really bad looking.

“I would have left him if I found the messages in the beginning. I have to try to move past it, it’s seven years later and we’re married. If it was someone else who found the messages, I would tell them to leave because if I knew then what I know now I wouldn’t be with him. I wouldn’t have stuck through so many things.” She said.

The couple met when Jane was working at a grocery store where Jack was a regular customer.

She says that they moved in together almost immediately and she thought the relationship was going well at the time Jack sent the messages.

Her words,

“I thought we had a nice relationship. I don’t understand any of it. He was so nice to me and appreciative of everything I did. He was all round pretty kind. I had to do a double take when I found the messages. It seemed like our relationship was based on a lie. He didn’t treat me like that. It was out of character.

‘He wasn’t the person he was when we were together, he was sweet and flattering. He’s clearly a different person to me than he is to his friends and that’s messed up.

‘Marriage means a lot to him and he said he was never going to get married unless it was someone really special but I don’t believe anything he tells me now. He could be telling me one thing and other people another.”

“We are very strong, my mother is very strong and I learned from her. Even when I go through something, she can never see me down. We have that spirit of… that energy of not in this house. I can be on my bed crying, once she comes in, I am dancing and she knows.

“But that’s the thing about my mum, when I am down she knows but you wouldn’t see her come to say sorry. She will even cheer me up to go to the club.”

Actress, Gabrielle Union claps back at troll who criticized her for wearing skimpy bikinis at 50

American actress, Gabrielle Union, has clapped back at those criticizing her for wearing skimpy bikinis at her age.

The 50-year-old “Bring It On” star, who frequently shares adorable photos and videos of herself in beautiful swimsuits on social media, didn’t hold back in her response to the critics.

During her appearance on the “Who What Wear with Hillary Kerr” podcast last week, she made it clear that she doesn’t let the judgment of internet trolls bother her.

“Somebody said, ‘You’re old enough to be somebody’s grandma, why are you still wearing swimsuits?” she recalled. Union clarified, “First of all, they’re not just swimsuits. They are thongs.

“And you’re gonna see these cheeks until my ass literally falls off, and I might just wear a bikini in the casket. “I don’t know. That just might be for you, for that one commenter … This is for you bitch …It’s just gonna be like, me in a thong, like, ass-up in the casket,” she added.

She went on to boldly state her stance on her body, clothing choices, and age. She noted that society tends to treat women differently as they age, making them feel invisible.

Gabrielle Union encouraged women to claim their space, embrace their beauty, and love themselves.

“[At] 35, they start treating you like you’ve got osteoporosis. You start becoming invisible, and it’s a weird, empty feeling to feel like you’re disappearing in front of your own eyes,” she explained.

“We need to boldly take up space and boldly claim and acknowledge our own beauty in all that we do instead of waiting. Claim you, whether it’s you fall in love with a younger dude… you love you more than anybody else loves you,” she said.
