Cross must have formed this opinion as a result of the numerous attitude she gave him in Big Brother’s house. One minute they are cool and cozy, the next Angel is giving him cold shoulders.

Dear @tiwasavage we love you, your songs and supported you all this years but this is unacceptable behavior from you. So many young girls looking up to you, seeing this story and how you defending your act as “Natural “ isn’t OKAY darling. Please don’t worry about your fans, worry about yourself and SON for tomorrow sake. Hope is not stunt cause only come, only go
Dear Women please desist from s*x recording either with boyfriend or even husband, anything can happen tomorrow and it might be used against your interest.
For those of you that will call me clout chasing, I hope you see beyond clouts cause it won’t put more Dollars 💵 in my account or put my Son in a better school than the BEST he is now”

The female youth leader and political analyst from Tharaka Nithi county, Kenya, shared her frustration during a Mt Kenya Foundation meeting with leaders led by One Kenya Alliance (OKA) principals at Safari Park Hotel on Thursday, October 7.

Nkorite also appealed to politicians to look into the issue of unemployment in Central Kenya.
“The issue of unemployment is caused by a lack of economic expansion. Our economy is not expanding at a fast rate as our young graduates. We are talking about the issues of internship and mentorship for our youth,” she added.

Her new look was met with mixed reactions on social media as some people attacked her for looking “too skinny”, while others remarked that she shouldn’t have yielded to the pressure to lose weight.
A Twitter user wrote in 2020, “Am I the only one that misses old Adele?! she really didn’t have to lose all that weight. She [sic] already looked so gorgeous and confident Noooo Adele.”
Another tweet shared one month after Adele debuted her slimmer figure at Drake’s party in 2019 reads, “Celebrating Adele’s weight loss is a garbage thing to do for a million reasons. Here are two: 1. It tells your fat friends you think their bodies are a problem to be solved. 2. The weight loss could be the result of physical or mental health struggles. Weird to cheer about!”
Speaking about her dramatic weight loss on Vogue, the British music star said her body has been objectified her entire career and women were the ones championing the “brutal conversations”. She added that she understands the outrage from women because she visually represented a lot of them.
“My body’s been objectified my entire career. It’s not just now. I understand why it’s a shock.”
“I understand why some women especially were hurt. Visually I represented a lot of women. But I’m still the same person.
“And the worst part of the whole thing was that the most brutal conversations were being had by other women about my body. I was very f–king disappointed with that. That hurt my feelings.
“It became my time. I realized that when I was working out, I didn’t have any anxiety. It was never about losing weight.
“I thought, If I can make my body physically strong, and I can feel that and see that, then maybe one day I can make my emotions and my mind physically strong.”
The singer also gushed over her new boyfriend, Rich Paul, whom she said has helped her keep a positive mindset.
“Rich just incredibly arrived. I don’t feel anxious or nervous or frazzled. It’s quite the opposite. It’s wild — and there is no second-guessing. I’m a 33-year-old divorced mother of a son, who’s actually in charge.
“The last thing I need is someone who doesn’t know where they’re at, or what they want. I know what I want. And I really know what I don’t want.”
Adele was previously married to Simon Konecki, who fathered her 9-year-old son, Angelo.
