Kim Kardashian Fears Kanye West Is Gay? [PHOTOS]

admin — Fri, 17 May 2013 21:11:18 +0000

Okay what kind trouble be this oh! Now I know Kim Kardashian loves being in the spotlight ( I don’t know this for fact, just speculating) However as of late I’m wondering if she were kind of wishing for a few different changes in her life right now. Upon the challenges of pregnancy, It appears Kim is dealing with some even more serious problems then what has been reported.

Just recently one of the States’ top tabloids “In Touch” released a slamming, front page cover accusation that allegedly Kanye West is gay *gasp* and is freaking out should the rumors be true.

Now allegedly a “friend” told an insider at In Touch that Kim recently found out that Kanye West was gay and seeing Ricardo Tcisi the creative designer for Givenchy.

Scroll down to continue…

Allegedly (because Kim didn’t call me herself) Kim stated that is why Kanye has been in Paris so much; to be close to Ricardo. Alleged again, Ricardo just purchased an apartment a few blocks from Kanyes’ pad in Soho, NY.

To make matters even worse for the girl (Kim), bloggers are speculating that Ricardo purposely made Kim Kardashian look awful with the dress Givenchy gave her for the MET Ball this year. Folks are buzzing that Ricardo was jealous that Kanye took Kim to the ball.

I mean really…Really! We don’t know if this is true or not (because again, neither Kanye; Kim or Ricardo called us) but for heavens’ sake, can this poor girl give herself the chance to relax and delivery her baby safely. Hoping motherhood brings blessings into Kim’s life and swift exit’s for all the crazy drama!

Revealed: Tonto Dikeh “Why I Acted In The Soft-Porn Movie ‘Dirty Secrets’

admin — Fri, 17 May 2013 20:21:30 +0000

Whether intentional or unintentional, Tonto Dikeh seems to be one of Nollywoods’ most controversial actresses. Tonto is no stranger to criticism; a few years back she did a movie titled “Dirty Secrets” where she played the role of a girl who was sleeping with bother her boyfriend and her father.

Many condemned the movie and Tonto for playing the role, calling the film a “soft smut video” aka soft porn. Since then Tonto has recently spoken about why she took the role where she played a young spoilt girl who was sleeping with her father and her boyfriend.

Scroll down to continue…

As the story progresses the father played by Jibola Dabo begins sleeping with the boyfriend (Muna Obikwe) of Tonto’s character and at some point they all have a threesome.

Tonto went on to explain that she agreed to play the role because the movie is actually based of a true life story and Tonto got a chance to meet and talk to the girl whose life she was portraying.

Well… we aren’t sure how hearing this young woman’s plight prompted Tonto to actually play the role herself especially with her level of experience and status but hey Tonto is a Nollywood sex symbol so it might not bother her much. Who knows, what do you all think?

“I ain’t no muthafuckin celebrity… There’s one thing about me, I’m a terrible, terrible terrible celebrity. I don’t know if you really know there’s one thing about me but I’m the worst kind of, the worst kind of celebrity. All I do is make real music. All I do is sit in the studio and make real shit. And that’s it. And that’s muthafuckin it. That’s muthafuckin it! So I don’t want no people runnin’ up on me with cameras, trying to like sell pictures and shit to magazines, asking me dumb ass questions, throwin’ me off my focus and shit.”

“Harrasin’ you all muthafuckin day. I ain’t no muthafuckain celebrity.”

“It’s so funny. Somebody asked me, ‘when you do SNL, are you going to do a skit about the paparazzi and shit. And like humanize yourself? I ain’t hear to apologize to no muthafuckas man. It ain’t about me humanizing myself. At one point did I become un-human where I had to turn myself back. Or maybe I was demonized, or maybe I was treated inhumane and not human in that type of situation. I ain’t no muthafuckin celebrity.”

“I ain’t runnin’ for office. I ain’t kissin’ nobody’s muthafuckin babies. I drop your baby and you muthafuckain sue me and shit. I’m trying to make some music that inspires people to be the best that they can be. And I don’t want nobody else to ask anything of me! Don’t ask nothing else of me.”

King Sunny Ade’s Ex-Guitarist Gets 3 Years For Drug Trafficking [PHOTOS]

admin — Wed, 15 May 2013 22:46:21 +0000

Sixty two year old Fatoke Abioudun was a guitarist for King Sunny Ade for 30 years. Fatoke states that in 2007 he was unceremoniously retired without severance benefits, leaving him to support 3 wives and 12 children with basically nothing.

Fatoke explained that it was out of frustration in not being able to provide for his family at this age, that prompted him for the first time ever to embark on the plan to traffic drugs out of Nigeria.

Scroll down to continue…

Fatoke was apprehended at the Murtala Mohamed International Airport in Lagos, Nigeria January 2013. Just as Fatoke was to board Air France on a flight to Italy, NDLEA (Nation Drug Law Enforcement Agency) got a hold of him where they searched his person and belongings only to find two parcels of cocaine weighing 1.575kg that had been hidden in the false bottom of his luggage. At his arraignment back in February 2013, Fatoke plead to one count of unlawful exploitation of cocaine. The actual sentencing was done at the Federal High Court in Lagos May 15, 2013; where Fatoke’s defense plead with the court in not making his sentence so heavy because he had 3 wives and 12 children to take care of. Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency of Nigeria stated that “Punishment must be commensurate with offense to serve as a deterrent to others. The drug (cocaine) is worth millions of Naira and the damage to humanity cannot be quantified.” Fatoke Abioudun received 3 years of imprisonment starting from the day he was arrested.

Wow! Had Fatoke as a black man been caught within the United States where drug laws or so strict; his sentence would have been so heavy he just might have kissed his family goodbye and been prepared to live out his days in jail. We hope this is a lesson learned to Fatoke…*cough*
