Actor Solomon Akiyesi finds love again with Abuja business woman

You all remember Solomon Akiyesi right? The actor that committed the scandal of the year HERE.

Well, new reports claim that Solomon has since moved on and found a new lover.

Popular blogger, Stella Dimokokorkus reports thus:

“Well insiders say that Solomon has found love again in the arms of a VERY financially stable woman who lives in Abuja. He is spotted frequently taking flights to Abuja to see his new boo. I don’t know when the relationship started but its growing by the day and Solomon is glowing according to insiders.”

She further pointed this out:

“Has Lilian Akiyesi,the abandoned estranged second wife put to bed? she told us during the brouhaha that she was seven months pregnant with twins…that was four months ago although many claimed her tummy was flat from the pictures taken at the church where she went to disrupt hubby’s third marriage.”

Pastor Adeoye finally reveals why he married 2face’s baby mama, Sunmbo Ajaba



When Sunmbo Ajaba, the mother of two of 2face Idibia’s children married the General Overseer of Royal Christian centre, pastor David Olatunde Adeoye last week, wagging tongues did not let sleeping dogs lie.
You will recall Sunmbo is a staunch member of the church and also a member of the church choir and she courted Pastor Adeoye for about a year.
Well, to the wagging tongues, Pastor Adeoye who lost his first wife in 2011, has a message for you:

“I love this woman” Pastor Adeoye says “With this woman there’s no dull moment. She makes me complete. When you lose something and you regain it from somewhere else, you should know how it feels. She’s the love of my life” turns to Sunmbo ” I will forever be there for you”

Pastor arrested for convincing followers to give him Oral s-x because his p-nis contained holy milk

Valdeci Sobrino Picanto, a Brazilian Evangelical Pastor, has been arrested after deceiving the faithful using the name of the “Holy Spirit”, by using these foolish lies.
This criminal pastor claimed that the Holy Spirit would secrete from his penis in the form of “sacred milk”.

This pastor said that his penis was blessed and that “the Lord had consecrated him with divine milk of the Holy Spirit” and, of course, he had to release it in order to “evangelize”.

According to one of his victims…

“He has convinced us that only God could come into our lives through our mouth and that’s why he would do what he did”. Often, after worship, pastor Valdeci would take us to the where the funds were kept at the back of the Church and asked us to have Oral sex with him until the Holy Spirit would come through ejaculation.”

Hmmm ... God have mercy.

Wande Coal quits Mavin records

The rumours keep getting louder and assumptions turning into reality, there are strong indications that Wande Coal is parting ways with his current record label Mavin Records.
wande-coal-mavin
wande-coal-mavin

Wande, inside sources tell us has been contemplating a move now for months and has already launched his own entertainment outfit Black Diamond Entertainment. Sources close to the talented singer tell NET that Wande wants to be in total control of his music career and will be releasing his long awaited second album under his own imprint.

Wande has continually postponed his upcoming album for reasons he’s never told us; in April he promised us a June 6, 2013 release. It’s close to two months and we are still waiting…

Even though both parties aren’t speaking, their actions seem to be doing the talking – Wande released a new single ‘Kilaju‘ today (July 30, 2013) under his Black Diamond Entertainment (the ubiquitous Mavin Records logo is missing from the official cover art). More so, Don Jazzy who seems to be omnipresent on social network Twitter has not mentioned Wande Coal, tweeted or retweeted anything related to the release.

The last five years have been quite rocky for Mr Wande, after dropping his very successful solo debut ‘Mushin 2 Mohits‘ in 2008, Wande has found himself in troubled waters – in 2010, he ‘went global’ when a picture of him naked leaked on the internet.

Despite all of this, Wande has managed to release chart topping singles, trending globally.

The demand from his ever-thirsty fans has remained constant all through the years, and he seems he now wants to take his future into his own hands.

“I must be with a man for 5years before I marry him’ – Eniola Badmus

Funke Akindele’s recent marriage crash has surely opened the eyes of her colleagues!


When asked about her marriage plans in an interview with Encomium mag, actress Eniola Badmus said she must date a guy for at least five years before she will consider marrying him!!!

“What is the point if I marry today and tomorrow it’s over? What’s the essence? I am living my life. I will have a baby when necessary. Marriage is good but what’s the essence of me getting married today and tomorrow I’m not in it? For any man I am going to marry or call my husband we should be together for five years before we walk down the aisle. We may have children but at least after five years I will know that you’re ready for me. Not getting married today, and tomorrow he’s out! I’ve seen it happen to my friends, I don’t want to go through that trauma.” She clearly stated.

You will recall that she was the same actress that recently stated that she will not lose weight for any man – with all these conditions Eniola, all we can say is goodluck!

“If my husband cheats, I will castrate him’ – Uche Jombo threatens

Oh Uche Jumbo!

In a recent interview, Nollywood actress Uche Jombo while speaking on her new movie “unconditional” – which focuses on how men cheat in relationships – stated that she will kindly castrate her husband if he cheats on her.

See excerpts below:

If your husband were to be a serial philanderer like Desmond’s character in the movie, Lies Men Tell, what will you do?
I will castrate him, he knows and believes that. To me, there is no excuse to cheat, its either you are with someone or not, and if you are tired of the person, please accord the person decency of respect by saying it’s over. Don’t go making someone look stupid. The problem with me is there is no in- between.

Do you believe what you are saying or are you saying it for the purpose of this interview?
I am saying,Uche Jombo-Rodrigues doesn’t have in-between. That is the reason it takes me long time to make a decision or take a stand on something, but when I do, that is it. There is no excuse not to honour an agreement you have made, this doesn’t have anything to do with this interview. It is the principle that guides me. It is not just about marriage, it’s how I conduct my relationships, its either it is this or that, if that is mymind-set in a relationship, you should know that for marriage it’ll be 150%. There is no room for cheating.

So you believe your husband will or should not cheat on you?
I don’t have control over what someone will do, I’m not God. I’m talking about me, how I conduct things. It’s not an option that it will happen, I will not tolerate cheating.

Are you saying you will not forgive the man who cheats on you and is manly enough to say I’m sorry?
If you are in that situation Sam, oh God! You are going to slave for me for life. And do you know any man that will want to slave for a woman for life, answer?

Is it true you are older than your husband and the man you dated before him?
I have never dated or married someone I was older than in my life. If you have the illusion of someone’s age, that is your business, and I am even too mature for my age. That is the problem, because men of my age are ‘small boys’ around me, I can’t date them. I am someone who has to become a mother to some of my siblings at the age of 14. Because you are an under-achiever does not mean I should play down on my achievement. If age is the yard stick for you to succeed, you should not judge people with it, I don’t have an apology. If I’m learning from people who are older than me that is because I don’t hang out with my age mates; I don’t think there is anything else you want to teach me, and if you want to judge me by the people I hang out with or by when I started my hustle, where the hell were you at that time?  What really matters to me is that people who know me during my not-too-proud days are so proud that, this is me now. I have come far, it’s something I’m grateful for, and I couldn’t have even written it better if it were a story.

Luiz not a target for Bayern

David Luiz: Chelsea defender will not be moving to Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola has rejected claims he was about to make a bid for Chelsea defender David Luiz.

Speculation was rife after Bayern's 4-2 German Super Cup final defeat by Borussia Dortmund that Guardiola was in the market for another centre-back, with Luiz's name top of his list.

But Guardiola, speaking at a presentation before the Audi Cup in Munich, said he was happy with his defensive options.

Bayern have the option of dropping holding midfielder Javi Martinez back now that Thiago Alcantara has arrived to fill a similar role to the one he had last season.

"He's not coming to Munich," he said. "We've got four or five central defenders.

"There is no truth to the speculation."

Marlon King held over crash

Marlon King: Arrested by City of London Police officers

Birmingham striker Marlon King has been arrested in connection with a hit-and-run incident which left a man with a head injury.

The Birmingham City striker was held on suspicion of failing to stop at the scene of a road traffic collision following the crash in central London in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Police and ambulance crews were called to Bishops Bridge Road at the junction with Eastbourne Terrace, Paddington, following reports that a car had hit a pedestrian.

A man in his late 40s was taken to a central London hospital, although his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

King, 33, was arrested by City of London Police officers and has been released on police bail to a date in mid-September.

A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said: "A 33-year-old man was arrested by officers from City of London Police on suspicion of failing to stop at the scene of a road traffic collision and taken to a central London police station.

"He has been bailed to mid-September pending further inquiries. Detectives from Westminster are investigating."

A spokesman for Birmingham City said the club was aware of the incident.

King, whose previous clubs include Watford, Middlesbrough and Coventry City, is reportedly available on a free transfer and in talks with other Championship clubs about a possible move.

Soldado remains tight-lipped

Roberto Soldado: May be joining Spurs this summer

Valencia forward Roberto Soldado is remaining tight-lipped about his possible move to Tottenham Hotspur.

The London side have made the 28-year-old forward one of their top transfer targets this summer and are believed to be in negotiations with the Spanish team at the moment.

Valencia are believed to want the full £26m needed to trigger a release clause in the contract of Soldado, who netted 30 goals in 46 appearances last season.

And Spurs are believed to be confident of landing the Spanish international but the player himself is refusing to comment on the prospective move.

"I do not know what is going on at the moment," he said. "At the moment, I cannot say anything.

"We will wait to see what happens. When the right time comes, I will speak, as I always have done."

Spurs have already signed Brazilian midfielder Paulinho and Belgian winger Nacer Chadli this summer and will be hoping to make Soldado their third acquisition.

Report: Real make £85m Bale bid

Gareth Bale: World record bid from Real Madrid

Real Madrid have made a world record bid of over £85m to Spurs for Gareth Bale, according to reports.

The bid has been on the table for over a week and Bale is aware of it and is becoming more frustrated with the situation.

The bid does not include any Real Madrid players moving to Spurs as part of a package.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is understood to be currently in Miami and his and the club's stance - that the Wales international is not for sale - has not changed.

Bale has so far kept his feelings to himself, making no public declaration about what he wants to happen next.

Tottenham and Bale are back from the Asia Trophy and will resume training on Wednesday.

Oprah Winfrey Network finally making money for Discovery

David M. Zaslav, President and Chief Executive Officer of Discovery Communications speaks at the Television Critics Association Cable TV Summer press tour in Beverly Hills, California in this file photo from July 25, 2013. REUTERS/Fred Prouser/Files

(Reuters) - The Oprah Winfrey Network is making money four years after its debut, as stronger ratings and advertising growth helped turn around the joint venture with Discovery Communications Inc sooner than expected.

The news was a bright spot for Discovery, which has invested more than $500 million in OWN, as it posted weaker-than-expected second-quarter results and cut its earnings forecast on Tuesday.

The media company's stock fell 4.3 percent to $80.74 on Nasdaq at mid-afternoon.

Discovery Chief Executive David Zaslav said OWN, which it formed with talk-show host Oprah Winfrey, benefited from two popular new series by producer Tyler Perry, "The Have and Have Nots" and "Love Thy Neighbor."

"OWN is now cash flow positive and starting to pay down the investment Discovery has made in the venture," Zaslav said.

The network, which replaced Discovery's Health channel in January 2011, had expected cash flow to break even in the second half of the year.

Lazard Capital Markets Barton Crockett said it was encouraging that one of Discovery's biggest bets was paying off.

"We knew that OWN was working because ratings have been great. The fact that it is bouncing back into positive isn't a huge surprise," he said.

Winfrey, known as the "queen of talk," had admitted in a TV interview to making "101 mistakes" when launching the network. The mix of in-depth interviews with celebrities and feel-good programs did not initially translate to the ratings success Winfrey had seen on broadcast TV for years.

Under President Erik Logan, OWN has since gone through layoffs, executive departures and a reshuffling of its programming lineup to add more scripted shows. It also has been selling some of Oprah's talk shows overseas, including to the United Kingdom.

On Tuesday, Zaslav said it had signed on 30 new ad partners and had the "highest growth of any cable network in the second quarter." Viewership by OWN's target demographic of the 25-54 age group grew 39 percent in the second quarter, the company said.

EPS MISS

Discovery said it now expects 2013 revenue of $5.55 billion to $5.63 billion, below its previous forecast for $5.58 billion to $5.70 billion. The company blamed unfavorable currency fluctuations and costs from its $1.7 billion acquisition of Scandinavian media company SBS in December.

Zaslav brushed off concerns that the merger of big ad companies Publicis and Omnicom would pressure Discovery's advertising rates. He said the deal was "probably a good thing" for the company.

"As long as we continue to grow our audience, we're going to find very receptive buyers," he said.

Net income rose to $300 million, or 82 cents per share, from $293 million or 77 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter.

Excluding special items for licensing agreements and foreign currency fluctuations, earnings per share of 83 cents missed the analysts' average estimate by 7 cents according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Crockett, the Lazard Capital Markets analyst, said Wall Street was not expecting the charge related to the SBS acquisition and noted that it helped explain why Discovery missed EPS estimates.

Gabelli & Co analyst Brett Harriss said he was expecting improved profitability at Discovery's U.S. networks, where advertising was up 10 percent, but noted the company's higher-than-expected operating expenses.

"U.S. advertising was great, but programming and marketing costs were up," Harriss said.

Discovery said operating expenses rose 17 percent at its U.S. unit, which it said offset revenue growth at that division.

Total revenue rose 30 percent to $1.47 billion. Analysts had expected $1.48 billion.

Lady Gaga Talks Severity Of Hip Injury


During the height of her career, Lady Gaga was forced to go on hiatus because of a debilitating hip injury, and now the eccentric songstress is ready to talk about her struggle.

In a new interview with WWD, the “Born This Way” babe shared that had she not decided to bow out, things could have been considerably worse.

"My injury was actually a lot worse than just a labral tear. I had broken my hip. Nobody knew, and I haven't even told the fans yet. But when we got all the MRIs finished before I went to surgery, there were giant craters, a hole in my hip the size of a quarter, and the cartilage was just hanging out the other side of my hip. I had a tear on the inside of my joint and a huge breakage."

"The surgeon told me that if I had done another show I might have needed a full hip replacement. I would have been out at least a year, maybe longer."

During her downtime, Gaga made the most of her open schedule. "I had six months to beef up my brain and my body. I got to put a giant white or black sheet of paint over my whole canvas and I got to review ARTPOP again. I was given the time to really be creative because it's a gazing process, it really is. I have to gaze into the work for long periods of time for it to be good."

Justin Bieber: Making Rounds In Manhattan



Taking care of his growling tummy, Justin Bieber exited his New York City hotel and hit up a nearby eatery last night (July 29).

The “One Less Lonely Girl” singer was mobbed with fans as he made his way to the meatpacking district in Manhattan for the late dinner, and he seemed to be pretty amicable despite the chaos.

Over the weekend, a tour bus from Justin’s convoy was detained at the Canadian border after authorities found marijuana on board.

Bieber tweeted, “I’m a lucky guy” following the incident, perhaps referring to the fact that he didn’t happen to be on the vehicle in question.

Nicki Minaj Clears Up DJ Khaled Engagement Rumors



She’s no stranger to controversy, and when Nicki Minaj got a marriage proposal from DJ Khaled last week, rumors began to fly.

Thankfully, the “Roman Holiday” rapper told Hot 97’s Funkmaster Flex that the whole ordeal was actually a promotional stunt.

Nicki explained, "I was shocked just like the rest of the world. I was cracking up laughing with the rest of the world 'cause Khaled is a master at what he does."

"It was just another way for him to kinda give the world a glimpse on the feeling of this record. Nobody in my real life took it seriously. Everybody just hit me like, 'LOL. Yo, Khaled is crazy.'"

Minaj also shared that romance won’t likely ever be in the air for them. "Khaled is my brother and Khaled was not serious with that damn proposal, ya'll. Please let it go. He was kidding. He's not attracted to me, he doesn't like me. We're brother and sister."

“I support the Underage marriage law because Nigerian men are already rapists – Kemi Olunloyo



The controversial Kemi who has declared her intention to run for Governor of Oyo state come 1015, posted this on her blog.
Read Below

“I support the UNDERAGE marriage LAW but encourage any girl to say NO if they don’t want to marry…YET!
Nigerians please start pushing the GAY marriage out too and get your wish and stop being cowards.
IF YOU PUT MARRIAGE BILLS ON THE 2015 BALLOT LIKE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES DO, I’LL BE HAPPY.

I changed my mind. Let these girls MARRY at their own will if they want.
Let them get an education if some rich or caring man wants to care for them.
From studying Nigerians, many of you are certified rapists, incestual and pure cruel to girls period. Read our Nigerian Tribune piece by Monica Taiwo how Nigerians are seriously ruining lives of girls.
Many girls have approached me @HipHossip on twitter and in person and phone telling me that family members violate them the most. Some however did not want to marry that young fearing they will lose their education. I will rather see them as small wives that are loved than rape and incest victims. Here in my hometown, the girls hawking in the motorparks are being raped all hours of the day and nobody does anything about it. You people are straight up frauds with the #ChildNotBride issue.
For some of you on my page who dig your fingers into 10 year old vaginas, God will punish you straight up! That is why your stupid lines have pens not penis, education not ejaculation etc. You are fucking corrupt in Nigeria secretly teaching them about sex in your lines and you dare collage these Senators as perverts and pedophiles. Long as the girls are not slaves I’m OK with it.

Modern slavery of any kind will get you ripped my me. If you are gonna get them pregnant, take care of them. Most teen pregnancies happen in developed countries by 15 anyway so my take is to take care of these girls. Nigerian men have been marrying out their daughters for ages. Being a law now is no big deal. Human rights here does not include gays and lesbians. Give everyone the right of marriage. LIKE America’s DOMA, Marry who you love!
That Underage marriage bill will PASS!
AMEN
Watch me inform teen girls about the bill in my hometown Ibadan and what they had to say. It was a wrong message at first but now I informed the girls of my changed decision to get their education and not be forced.”

Who agrees with Kemi?!

Italy coach crash: At least 38 dead near Avellino


The BBC's Alan Johnston says the coach "ripped through the guard-rail" when it plunged off the flyove

A coach has plunged off a flyover in southern Italy leaving at least 38 people dead in the country's worst road accident for decades.

The coach hit several vehicles before smashing through a barrier and toppling down a steep slope near the town of Avellino, in the Campania region.

At least 10 people were injured, some of them seriously.

The coach was taking about 50 people, including children, back to Naples following a pilgrimage.

The cause of the accident is not yet known. Some reports say the vehicle was travelling at speed.

The head of the local fire brigade division, Alessio Barbarulo, said barriers on bridges would normally prevent such accidents but "evidently it seems the impact was so strong that even the barrier gave way".

A survivor said the driver, who was among the dead, appeared to have lost control of the bus, possibly after a tyre punctured.

map

Transport Minister Maurizio Lupi said the vehicle had passed its annual inspection in March, and there was no indication of technical problems.

Tests are being carried out on the driver's body as part of the investigation into what caused the accident.

TV footage showed smashed vehicles on the flyover and shrouded bodies lined up by the side of a road.


Photojournalist Sandro di Domenico: "The scene was horrific"

The Naples-Bari motorway was closed to traffic because of the accident.

The bus dropped 30m (98ft), coming to rest in heavy undergrowth after smashing through the guard-rail.

The final number of victims remains unclear, with local officials saying 38 died while the transport ministry in Rome spoke of 39.

The injured were taken to hospitals in Avellino, Salerno and Nola, Ansa news agency said.

They include the occupants the six cars caught up in the collision. Six of those hurt are children.

Those on board had been visiting visiting the town of Telese Terme, known for its hot springs, and the nearby birthplace of Padre Pio, one of Italy's most popular saints.

On a visit to Greece, Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta said the accident was "a huge tragedy".

Exactly 10 years ago, another accident on the same stretch of motorway claimed six lives and injured 11 other people.

Gareth Bale: Spurs determined to reject Real Madrid interest

Gareth Bale

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is adamant Gareth Bale will not be sold, despite the Welshman indicating he wants to speak to Real Madrid.
The Spanish giants have stepped up their interest but Spurs are refusing to countenance selling Bale even in the face of a possible record £85m bid.
Real have yet to submit a written offer but Bale is keen to explore their interest, having always dreamt of playing for the Bernabeu club.
Bale in numbers
Age: 24
Premier League games: 146
Goals: 42
Yellow cards: 15
Red cards: 1
Wales caps: 41
Bale has three years left on his deal.
Spurs remain hopeful they can persuade the forward, who was both PFA player and young player of the year last season, to stay at White Hart Lane for at least another season with contract talks under way.
Real are expected to formalise their interest in the coming week and test Tottenham's resolve to hang to a player who scored 26 goals in all competitions last season.
Tottenham arrived back in London on Sunday from their final pre-season matches in Hong Kong. Bale, 24, did not play in either of the club's matches in the Asia Trophy because of a muscle problem.
In May, Bale's agent Jonathan Barnett told a Spanish television show that his client would be honoured to hear from Madrid president Florentino Perez.

Bale's season-by-season Premier League stats
2012-13: Played 33, scored 21, assisted 4
2011-12: Played 36, scored 9, assisted 10
2010-11: Played 30, scored 7, assisted 1
2009-10: Played 23, scored 3, assisted 5
2008-09: Played 16, scored 0, assisted 0
2007-08: Played 8, scored 2, assisted 0

With Real stepping up their interest, the Bale camp this weekend told leading figures at Spurs of their client's wish to be able to discuss the possibility of a move to Spain. But Tottenham will not be swayed.
On Friday, Spurs manager Andre Villas Boas refused to answer questions on Bale's situation, except to say contact talks were continuing.
It remains to be seen whether Bale plays in Tottenham's friendly against Monaco this weekend, but in Spain there are already suggestions that new Real manager Carlo Ancelotti is preparing for the arrival of the Welshman.
On Saturday, Ancelotti moved Cristiano Ronaldo away from the left flank and into a more central role during the pre-season friendly win over PSG in Sweden, prompting speculation that the Italian is attempting to find a new system to accommodate both Bale and Ronaldo.

Brad Pitt buys Angelina Jolie a private jet

Brad Pitt has splashed out on a private jet for Angelina Jolie to make sure the couple see each other while he is shooting World War II movie ‘Fury’ in London.

The ‘Killing Them Softly‘ actor has splashed out on the aircraft for his fiancee – who has held a pilot’s licence since 2004 – to enable the couple to see each other more as he is currently shooting World War II movie ‘Fury‘ in London, while the brunette beauty is directing war film ‘Unbroken’ in Hawaii.

A source told heat magazine: ‘Brad wanted to gift Angelina with a jet for trips between the set of ‘Fury’ in London and her set of ‘Unbroken’.’He told her that she can choose the plane and he will pay, that way, they can fly back and forth to see each other, and Angelina’s always wanted to fly a jet across the ocean anyway.’

The 38-year-old actress – who raises six children, Maddox, 11, Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, six, and four-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, with Brad – was inspired by the couple’s eldest son to take up flying because she wanted him to think of her as a superhero.

She previously said: ‘Every time Mad sees a plane, he’s amazed. ‘If I could actually fly a plane … I’ll be like Superman to him.’

Music video director, Aswad Ayinde, gets 90 years in jail for impregnating his own daughters



Award-winning music director Aswad Ayinde, 55, has been sentenced to 90 years in prison after being found guilty of repeatedly raping his six daughters, resulting in them having six kids for him.

Mr. Ayinde was found guilty in a second trial of having intercourse with one of his daughters when she was as young as eight-years-old.

This second sentence, for which he got 50 years, adds to the 40 year sentence Mr Ayinde received in a 2011 trial for sexually assaulting a separate daughter.

Mr. Ayinde is known for directing the music video for the Fugees 1996 smash hit ‘Killing Me Softly.’

In disturbing disclosures during his trials, Mr. Ayinde’s former wife said he was trying to create a ‘pure family bloodline’ by impregnating his daughters.

He even claimed that ‘the world was going to end, and it was just going to be him and his offspring and that he was chosen.’

In this latest trial, it was revealed that Mr. Ayinde began having intercourse with his second daughter from the time she was eight-years-old, impregnating her four times.

The sexual assaults happened for almost 30 years until Mr. Ayinde and his wife separated.

They occurred in numerous homes across northern New Jersey, even while the family was under watch of state child welfare officials, according to NBC New York.

Some of the rapes even took place in an abandoned funeral home.

Ayinde’s tortured daughters were home schooled and isolated from other children, so as to keep the family secrets hidden.

The depraved father also beat and starved the girls using wooden boards and steel-toed boots for even ‘minor transgressions’

Mr. Ayinde also fathered 12 additional children with an additional three women, according to court records.

With his wife too afraid to confront him, Mr. Ayinde carried out his evil plan without hindrance even while directing the music video for the Fugees 1996 breakout hit ‘Killing Me Softly, for which he won  ‘Best R&B Video’ at the 1996 MTV Music Video Awards. The Fugees are also originally from Northern New Jersey.

Mr. Ayinde faces three more trials over the alleged assaults.

Tiwa Savage goes on vacation without fiancee Teebillz (photos)

Following the success of her “once upon a time album and new endorsement deal with MTN”, Tiwa Savage and her close friend, Beth Models CEO, Elohor Aisien, took some time off her busy schedule to go on a vacation to the Maldives.

‘Maldives sooo pretty, nothing like sleeping in ur private bungalow in the middle of the ocean #Godisgood‘, Tiwa said as she posted pictures of her new temporary environ.

Maldives, officially known as Republic of the Maldives also referred to as the Maldive Islands, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean.

From the lush and luxe of the premium resort to the relaxing spa and fun in the ocean, it looks like they are having a great time.

We’re pretty sure they didn’t go alone because Elohor Aisien‘s ‘little captain’ came through to; which begs the question – Owen & Tee Billz, where are you? Oh by the way Owen is Teebillz’ cute son.
