HOLLYWOOD, CA - JUNE 22: Rapper/producer Dr. Dre and wife Nicole Young arrive at the premiere of 'The Defiant Ones' at Paramount Theatre on June 22, 2017 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic)
American rapper, Dr Dre, has celebrated being single again after 21 years of marriage to his ex-wife, Nicole Young, with a mini party.
The music executive was pictured posing with balloons that spell “DIVORCED AF” to mark his new single status, in a picture shared online by his friend, Breyon Prescott, on Thursday, December 9.
In the picture, he had a huge smile on his face and spread his arms to emphasize the message he was passing.
This epic move comes despite the fact that his estranged wife is still fighting for half of his $1 billion estate.
Meanwhile, the hip hop mogul is yet to post anything about the status of his divorce proceedings on his social media page.
The father of seven who tearfully shared the announcement on his show, narrated how he and his family discovered Zen was battling Hydrocephalus, a form of brain cancer.
In his words ;
“I always noticed he had a cough and so I wanted to check it out. He had this interesting breathing and by the time he was two months I noticed he had this nice sized head too — a Cannon head. We didn’t think anything of it. But I wanted to take him to the doctor for his sinus and breathing. We thought it would be routine.”
The family soon discovered it wasn’t going to be a routine visit as Zen had fluid building in his head and it was a malignant tumor. The baby had brain surgery and a shunt to drain the fluid. Things however took a turn for the worse at Thanksgiving.
Cannon then tearfully shared that he held his son for the last time on Sunday. It is reported that Cannon and Alyssa Scott welcomed Zen in July. The family learned that Zen — who was Cannon’s seventh child — had been building up fluid in his brain that turned out to be a malignant tumor.
“This weekend I made an effort to spend the most quality time with Zen. We woke up on Sunday and went to the ocean with him and Alyssa and then I had to fly back to New York for the show,” he shared, breaking down in tears. “I got a call on my way to the airport to head back to Zen.”
Nigerian comedian, Efe Warri Boy, has stated that the cause of many failed marriages in Africa is ‘sibling entitlement mentality’.
Efe, who shared his thoughts on his Insta-stories moments ago, stated that many marriages have failed in Africa because of the entitlement mentality of siblings of the couples.
According to him, when siblings start feeling unnecessarily entitled to the affairs of married couples, it ruins the relationship.
“Sibling entitlement has ruined plenty marriages in Africa”, he wrote.
In other news, Efe Warri Boy has advised members of the LGBTQ community to keep their sexuality private..
He said the challenge is that they “shine too much light on these things”, hence the persecution they face from society.
Efe noted that straight people don’t announce their sexuality. He then questioned why gay people should announce theirs.
In his words;
“So the challenge is that we shine too much light on these things. Why must the whole world know s about your sexuality. Na you choose am. Go ahead and live the life. All this coming out of the closet idea is the problem. Those of us who are straight don’t announce it when we want to start having sex. So why tell us your sexual preference??? This video here now. Na private video with you and your mama. You record am put up her”.
Estranged wife of former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, Precious Chikwendu, has called out one of the ex-Minister’s supposed pastor.

At the Eniola’s party, it was fun but timing became late. I informed my husband @kolawoleajeyemi that it was time to go home. He said NO. Don’t leave the people that were your friends even before we got married. You should not become their enemy because you are now married. That sentence touched me.

The federal government will procure two sets of telecommunications equipment worth N1.8 billion to be deployed in the detection and blockage of criminal elements using telephones and other communication gadgets to ply a nefarious swindling trade.
Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Pantami, made this known on Wednesday in Abuja while briefing newsmen at the end of the weekly virtual Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting held at the State House.
Pantami also said after the meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari that the approval of the new regulatory system would support the country in addressing the challenge of insecurity. He explained that the deployment of the system would help to monitor, detect and block SIM cards and fight voice traffic termination fraught.
The minister said, “I am here to present two memos approved by the Federal Executive Council. And these two memos are to be implemented by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
The first memo that has been approved by the Federal Executive Council is for the deployment of regulatory systems in the telecommunications industry, which is to be implemented by NCC. These regulatory systems have two components. Component number one is the deployment of a regulatory system to monitor, detect and block SIM box traffic. This is the first one and it is going to be implemented at the cost of N804, 122,897.50 by NCC while the second one is going to be deployed at the price of N1, 049,790,713.58.
This deployment of system to monitor, detect and block SIM is to fight what we call voice traffic termination fraught. What the two systems will do is to support our country in two major ways in addition to many others. It will support the country in addressing challenges of insecurity,”
