There were reports recently that Tyga was cheating on Kylie with a lady called Val Mercado.
Well, the rapper scheduled a recent interview/photoshoot with DuJour magazine at his home, and when reporters from the mag got to his house, they claim they saw Tyga kicking out a Kylie-look-alike from his house.
Below is what DuJour wrote;
As a photo crew and styling team lug gear up the 26-year-old rapper’s steep stone driveway, a young, bleary-eyed Kylie Jenner look-a-like is huddled outside the gate, shivering in the light drizzle.
Chez Tyga is one of six houses on a locked-off street high above the Sunset Strip, with no visible address, reachable only by the kind of byzantine, narrow roads that make UPS drivers hold their breath.
The girl’s hair is matted and slept-on, the extension tape visible from the back, and she taps her toe nervously while awaiting her ride. She is clearly wearing last night’s shorts.
But she is not actually Kylie Jenner, and therein lies the problem. Tyga, arguably more famous at this point for being Jenner’s controversial on-off boyfriend than for his music career, refuses to discuss his personal life—a point his publicist took pains to assert.
So leaving a random, scantily clad lady friend on your doorstep in the rain, right when the media is scheduled to arrive, seems like gutsy optics. Or at least an argument for buying a day planner.
Yesterday, photos of a young Ghanaian diagnosed with terminal cancer surfaced on Facebook.
The boy had asked to see the insides of an aeroplane for the first time, and the hospital staff teamed up with Delta airline at the Kotoka Airport in Accra to grant the young child his dying wish.
Ghana Celebrites reports that his parents couldn’t afford the medical treatment the child needed and left him at home until his condition deteriorated.
Read Ghana Celebrities’ post on the subject:
“A child is in an ambulance heading to kotoka airport , u know why,? He want to see an aeroplane before he die, yes die , his parents couldn’t afford treatment for cancer and he was kept at home till it got worse. Now there is nothing to do and he will die any moment from now but he begged the hospital to make him see a plane before he die.
Do u know how much it would have cost to save this boy’s life… hmm if health insurance was working well and covering some of this ailment

US President Barack Obama visited a Maryland mosque on Wednesday to deliver a simple message at a complex time.
“We are one American family,” President Obama told the gathered crowd at the Islamic Society of Baltimore. “We will rise and fall together.”
Obama sought to reassure Muslim Americans that the country considers their community essential to the makeup of society, condemn the claim that all Muslims are terrorists, call on the Muslim community to also condemn terrorism, affirm religious freedom, and explain to the whole of America what Islam is and isn’t.
And with the rise of ISIS and in the wake of the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, the president had a lot of ground to cover in the 45 minutes he had to speak.
“We have to reaffirm that most fundamental of truths—we are all God’s children, all born equal with inherent dignity,” Obama said.
He started by telling the story of Islam in the U.S. from a historical perspective, bringing the audience back to the nation’s founding. “Islam,” Obama said, “has always been a part of America.” Muslim slaves ripped from Africa and brought to the U.S., Obama said, did not leave their religion at the shore.
He added that religious liberty guaranteed in the Constitution didn’t come with an asterisk, quoting Thomas Jefferson’s declaration that “the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahometan [or Muslim]” were all to be protected.
Looking out across the room, he marked the contributions of Muslims within American society. He asked the service-members in the audience to stand and thanked them for their service. He cheered Ibtihaj Muhammad, the champion fencer who will become the first U.S. athlete to compete while wearing a hijab during the 2016 Summer Olympics.
“Muslim Americans are some of the most resilient and patriotic Americans you’ll ever meet, he said.
And through the personal letters he gets from Muslims of all ages across the country, he noted the fear many feel just being themselves.
President Obama spoke of a mother whose “heart cries every night” thinking about how her child could face taunts and bullying at school.
He mentioned a 13-year-old girl from Ohio who simply wrote, “I’m scared.” Before the speech, the president got a sense of how Muslims are feeling first hand.
He sat down with about a dozen people from across the country for open dialogue about the state of their community.
Obama slammed “inexcusable” anti-Muslim rhetoric. “An attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths,” he said. “We can’t be bystanders to bigotry. Together, we have to show that America truly protects all faiths.”
The president’s historic first visit to a mosque while in office had been long awaited by many, but for some—like Sabah Muktar, the young woman who introduced the President on Wednesday, it came just in time.
“This visit by our president is an affirmation to all Muslims we are just as American as any other,” she said.
It’s the 4th day of February and it seems we haven’t heard the last of Celebrity beefs.
Yesterday, TVHost, Krystn Enem of Africa Magic Urban called out reggae-dancehall singer – Burna Boy on Twitter for standing her up thrice and making her look like a fool after he previously agreed to do an interview for her show, but he later failed to show up.
According to the TV Host, her team reached out to Burna Boy’s manager who happens to be his mother and after days of deliberation and even cancellation, they agreed to hold an interview yesterday, but then again the singer stood her up three times, ruined her other plans for the day and when asked why he failed to show up, Burna Boy’s mother said he was not ready (at 6:30pm) and hadn’t taken his day’s bath.
Upset by the fact that she had waited from noon until evening for him, the angry TV host took to Twitter to explain all that happened and cursed out at him.
So many reasons why many Nigerian artists don't last more that 2 years or a few hits? Their poor personalities and horrible attitude.
In a tweet he quickly deleted, Burna Boy said, “Itchy fingers, twitter fingers?” without mentioning names. His management is yet to officially react to the allegations.
New Not To Self: Never Compliment a Female Officer.
Here’s a video which shows a group of young cadets torturing a young boy over claims that he said a female officer was beautiful.
From the video, young officers are seen hitting the boy who was made to kneel, a female officer slapped him countless times, and later, stomped on him.
That was not enough. The boy was dragged and undressed as the punishment continued.
The video is shocking to watch, but the names and location of the inhumane treatment were withheld by the media house.
Ghanaian actor, John Dumelo, has said he has been receiving death threats following controversial tweet stating that Ghanaian presidential candidate, Nana Akufo Addo, would loose the elections.
The actor turned politician had stirred some controversy and animosity after he tweeted that he did not see Addo winning the 2016 elections, pointing out that he had nothing against him.
The 32-year-old actor who had endorsed the present President, John Dramani Mahama, for second term, had received serious criticism after previously shaming his administration for incompetence.
I never met Nana Addo secretly. The last and only time I saw him was in 2014, 2 clear years ago. #ichoosejdm
“I keep on receiving threatening messages from anonymous persons. They are threatening my life…so many things for making a statement. But I give everything to God. They are issuing the threats on social media, anonymous phone calls and things. ” he stated
Dumelo went on to add that he feels safe at the moment and is yet to report the issue to the police.
”I think it has not gotten to the point of reporting to the security yet. I am a very security conscious person. Wherever I go I just have this security thing around me. I just don’t stay at a particular place at a time”
He added that he is very security conscious and believes he is good on his own for the time being.

Yet we sleep on him like we do not see the sore thump fashion with which his being sticks out in this follow follow music industry.
The other day Linda Ikeji had to blogg that she was obsessed with the song Rabba and what Kiss and Sugarboy had done to it here
The next morning, the song was going to make iTunes break the bank. But we all acted like we didnt hear that song. But why are we like this? Forming the very unfortunate habit of sleeping on talent and inventing the weirdest new yardsticks for musical greatness and acceptance.
Well, me “I just dey laugh” in Obasanjo’s voice cause I know “There is God o!” and na Him dey give talent so He will find away to bring what the boy deserves.
Let it be made clear, my protest is not a finger in the direction of the celebrated as undeserving of the fame but in the direction of the underrated as undeserving of the punishment
While my camera is on standbye mode for the day i meet him, please if you know him kindly tell him to keep at what he is doing and keep his standards never lower as we are not going to KISS DANIELS goodbye anytime soon. That I was sure of when Tiwa and Davido couldn’t swallow him in the remix of Woju

Teachers at Matshitsholo High School, Ulundi, SA, arrived yesterday morning only to be confronted by angry parents threatening to bury them alive in coffins because they are lazy and selfish.
The parents said they came to show the teachers how serious they are about their children’s education.
One of the parents said:
“They are no better than ghosts, so we will bury them alive”
According to Daily Sun SA, the parents are demanding the immediate removal of the teachers. They said the teachers are expected to be teaching pupils during school hours, but instead use the time to rest or take care of personal matters.
“You are putting the future of our children at risk,” said the parents.
Worried parent Mthembeni Sokhela, 47 told Daily Sun there is an ongoing fight at the school between teachers who belong to the National Teachers Union (Natu) and those who have joined the South African Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu).
“I went to this school recently and found Sadtu teacher sitting under a tree. When the principal, a Natu member, told him he was supposed to be in class, the teacher told him to go there himself,” said Sokhela.
He said the parents believe this is why the pass rate at the school had dropped. In 2014 and in 2015 only four pupils passed.
“How can children pass when teachers just sit around and still get a full salary every month?” asked Sokhela..
A worried grade 11 pupil shared her frustration with Daily Sun.
“Our teachers are selfish and they’re gambling with our future. We find ourselves caught in the middle of something that has nothing to do with us. Most of the times we are just sitting around because teachers refuse to come to class,” she said.
SGB chairman Zweni Mbatha said:
“The situation is very tense. Angry parents threaten to bury the teachers alive if the department does not take action.”
KZN Education spokesman Sihile Mlotshwa said the matter has reached their office.
“The MEC was due to hold a meeting at these school but had other commitments. She has sent a task team to meet the parents. We promise that a satisfying solution will be found,” said Mlotshwa.
KZN Sadtu deputy secretary Dolly Caluza said:
“We distance ourselves from speculations that the misunderstanding between teachers at this school is union-motivated. We will try our best to support the school.”
Natu deputy president Allen Thomson also denied that the ongoing fight has anything to do with the unions.
“It started in 2014 when teachers reported the principal for mismanagement. Ever since then he has been provoking them in every possible way,” Thomson said.
Thomson appealed to the community to stop threatening teachers with coffins.
Nollywood actress, Eniola Badmus in a recent chat with Encomium magazine mumbled on why she decided to stick with rocking the nose ring. .and the reason she ain’t bothered about critics.
She said;
“To me, I feel it is a regular thing. Moreover, me piercing my nose should not bother anybody because it is my nose. I’m not bothered about what people say. After all, people pierce different parts of their bodies and no one is talking about it. I do what I feel like doing so, anybody condemning it is wasting his time because I do what I feel like doing. So, whether you like it or not it is what I feel like doing and I have done it.”

The sensation, sight, smell and sound involved in lovemaking, helps heighten your pleasure and capacity for climax. However, there are times when stuff like genital odor, can make the whole experience less than pleasant.
So, how do you avoid smelling bad during intercourse? Here are some answers.
Take A Shower
Before getting intimate, take a shower or do a quick wash up of your genitals to prevent body odor.
This is especially necessary after you’ve engaged in physically challenging activities that make you sweat or work that has exposed you to humid or dusty environments. These may promote infections or the spread of odor-causing micro-organisms in your body.
Don’t forget to towel off thoroughly afterwards to prevent creating moist, bacteria-friendly hotspots on your body.
Iara Oshiomhole, the first Lady of Edo state, visited the Mary Immaculate Children’s Home and Salvation Army rehabilitation centre in her state recently.
Majid Michel has stated that he is not a Ghanaian actor but rather he is an actor from Ghana.
Majid made this statement which sounds controversial to some people at the press launch of Kofas Media’s new movie project “Amakye & Dede”.
During the Q & A section of the conference, Majid Michel was asked if there is a funny bone in him, and if there is, how he can make viewers of “Amakye & Dede” laugh when it’s finally out.
This question came forth because Majid has not been cast in a lot of comic movies.
In respond to the question, Majid said that he believes acting as an art is universal and every actor has a challenge that he wants to conquer.
“Well, I am an actor and I believe acting is an act and art is universal… I am not a Ghanaian actor; I am an actor from Ghana. So I was there as an actor and this director said he wants me for a film and I said what is it about and he said this is it.”
The body of a 28 year old Kenyan woman, Alice Kemunto Bundi was exhumed from her grave on January 27th, just a day after she was buried at her matrimonial home in Nyamatoki village, after her family complained that her husband had not completely paid her bride price and had no right to claim her corpse.
The family of the mother of four who was four months pregnant when she died, went to court and obtained an exhumation permit from the Kisii law court. Her family members also argued that they were not informed by the husband on what killed their sister nor were they carried along during her funeral arrangements.
The husband however provided a clinical report which states that his wife of six years died while trying to undergo an abortion.
Her in-laws confirmed that the dowry for late Alice had not been settled. “We had given them [Bundi’s family] one cow and KES 5 000 cash($48), though they were asking for KES 20 000($196),” said one of the in-laws in an interview

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday, February 3, arraigned Sabo Sani Labaran before Justice Abubakar Jauro of the Gombe State High Court sitting in Gombe, on a 2-count charge bordering on impersonation and obtaining money by false pretence to the tune of N242,000.00..
The offence is contrary to Section 1 sub-section 1(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act 2006 and punishable under Section 1 sub-section 3 of the same Act.
The suspect, who is a member of an Internet syndicate had, sometime in October 2015, allegedly obtained N242, 000 from one Alhaji Hussaini Mai- Magani, promising that he would award him a contract for the supply of some hospital equipment.
However, the suspect, whose Facebook profile bears the picture of the Gombe State governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo, allegedly diverted the money for personal use.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges. In view of his plea, prosecution counsel, Ahmad Y. Muntaqa, asked the court for a trial date. The defence counsel, Rahimat I. Talle, prayed the court to grant the accused bail on liberal terms. Justice Jauro adjourned till February 8, 2016 for hearing on the bail application and ordered the accused person to be remanded in prison custody.
