On Thursday, 15th July 2022, Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju James, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, was sentenced to 16 years of imprisonment for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.

Following the court judgment that Baba Ijesha, his colleague and staunch, Yomi Fabiyi has issued his stance on the matter.

According to Fabyi, Baba Ijesha must be given the privilege to challenge the court ruling in all possible ways.

Sharing the video, Yomi Fabiyi wrote;

*COURT HAS SPOKEN!!!*

The DEFENDANT(Baba Ijesha) NOT found guilty of The defilement(rape) with CAR KEY as charged(1&6) for lack of evidence, which he still denied ever committing BUT has been found guilty of few other charges bothering on sexual assault(as seen in the video 2,3,4,5). Any indecent act against children is unacceptable and I have never and will never support such. CHILDREN ARE MEANT TO BE PROTECTED. And I will insist that PARENTAL NEGLIGENCE is equally punishable under section 30(3) Child Rights Act. It is an imprisonment for ten years!

However, if the defendant insists that he is innocent of the other charges. It is within his rights if he chooses to appeal. And if he exhausts all options and the judgement stands, he should serve his term and I hope he will learn his lessons and turn a new leaf.

I am still committed to the frontiers of HUMAN RIGHTS and that all accused are innocent until proven guilty by the court of law. I thank the JUDGE for not punishing the defendant before today until verdict is reached.

Grateful to the state/prosecution thus far, for ensuring that the rights of these three major actors in this case were upheld: *The VICTIM, DEFENDANT and The PUBLIC.*

Popular Actor and Comedian, Kevin Hart, has made it known that his senior colleague, Will Smith is apologetic over the “slapping incident” involving fellow comedian, Chris Rock but he hopes to move forward.

According to Kevin Hart, his friend is still ‘apologetic’ after attacking Chris Rock on stage over an insensitive joke the comedian made about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, but is ready to ‘move forward’ and not dwell on the past.

In his words ;

“Will is apologetic, you know, he’s in a better space, of course, than what he was after.”

”People are human and as humans sometimes we make mistakes. So it’s not about talking about the past, it’s about acknowledging the present and doing your best to move forward.’ Kevin told Entertainment Tonight

Kevin is also friendly with Chris and hopes the pair can put their differences behind them.

He said: ‘I can get only hope that the two of them find a way to find some solace in that and move past it.

‘I just like good energy. I love to see people be the best.

‘I still love him, I still love Chris, and, you know, you can’t judge a person by one thing. Ultimately, life goes on and people grow, so give him the opportunity to do so.’

Fast-rising Nigerian Singer, Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, almost ignited a controversy and beef after he subtly declared that he was better than all his peers and most specifically, Buju.

The drama started when Ruger engaged his fans in a Question & Answer sesison and one troublesome Twitter user asked if his boss, D’Prince is aware that BNXN ‘formerly known as BUJU’ is better than him (Ruger).

Ruger would not let that go down and he shared a screenshot of a conversation he had with D’Prince where he acknowledged that “Ruger is nobody’s mate.”

However, a fan with the handle @BNXN001 took to the comment section to write;

Lol bnxn is better than you 😂 and there’s nothing you can do about it you this low budget Samuel L Jackson

Replying to the tweet, Ruger wrote;

I love buju he’s good but he’s not better than me. Everything I’ve done since the beginning was only RUGER. All my hits are JUST RUGER. I’m always proud going on stage around the world with my own hits and everyone is singing along. You see the difference?
