R.Kelly’s songs sales increase amidst child abuse accusation

Singer R. Kelly’s songs sales have increased in the past few days despite the Lifetime docu-series Surviving R.Kelly, which aired few days ago to unravel the child molestation scandal the artist was involved in.

While the singer received a lot of negative attention due to the horrific accusations made against him in the production’s testimonials, the singer has also received positive feedback in the form of streaming.\

ET Canada reports “a rep for Spotify says streaming of the singer’s music has increased by 16 percent since the first part of the three-part docu-series aired on Thursday.”

Many members of the public are confused about this rise, wondering why anyone would decide to listen to his music amid the resurfacing of horrendous accusations, including child pornography and molestation.

Jada Pinkett Smith took to Twitter asking her fans if they could offer any insight into this issue:

“So I got an article this morning about how R. Kelly’s music sales and his streams have spiked substantially since the release of Surviving R. Kelly docuseries,” the actress said.

“And I’m having a really difficult time understanding why. But I think it’s important to understand why.”

Gucci Mane Presents 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan As A Birthday Gift To Wife, Keyshia [Photos]

His wife Keyshia Ka’Oir celebrated her birthday yesterday evening, and by the looks of it, no expense was spared.

Let's start with his gift of a 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan in scarlet red. The night's agenda was timed effectively. First, Gucci Mane gives her the keys to the Rolls-Royce truck; they manage a photo or three, which she later posts on her Instagram.

A video reel posted by Keyshia Ka’Oir on the same platform gives us a better idea of how committed Gucci Mane was to honoring the "scarlet red" theme to a tee. Gucci's sparkling red tuxedo matches Keyshia's sparkling red even
ing gown, all leading back to the Rolls-Royce Cullinan wrapped in a celebratory red bow.

Once they arrive at their destination, Gucci Mane exits the car and proceeds to open the door for Keyshia.

Inevitably, Gucci and Keyshia's showiness attracted a fair share of negative backtalk along the way, mostly centered around the rapper's in-court dismissal of a child support issue. Social media users pointed to the fact Gucci Mane claimed he couldn't afford the increase in alimony his baby mother was requesting.

Millionaire finds out he’s not father of his 3 children

A millionaire who recently found out he’s not father of his 3 children after 21 years of marriage, has offered reward to unmask the real father of his three boys.

Richard Mason, 55, plans to write a book revealing how he was tricked by ex-wife Kate, who has been told to pay him £250,000 for her deception.

He is said to be in torment and wants her on-off lover and the real father to come forward “for the sake of the boys”.

His new wife, Emma, 46, told The Sun:

“Richard is hoping to write a book. In it he will offer a financial reward to anyone who can identify the real father.”

Richard, co-founder of moneysupermarket.com, divorced Kate in 2006. He gave her a £4million settlement and paid her £3,000 a month to help bring up the boys.

But two years ago he discovered he had lung disorder cystic fibrosis and had been infertile all his life.

DNA tests confirmed Richard was not the father of their 19-year-old twin boys although their eldest, now 23, refused to take part.

He also won a court battle to get her to return £250,000 of the divorce settlement.

Richard, who now lives with Emma in Rhos-on-Sea, Conwy, is also calling for routine DNA testing of babies to prevent paternity disputes in future.

Kate, who lives in a gated £1million home in Uttoxeter, Staffs, was not available for comment

The suspects who were arrested and paraded by the Osun State Police Command on December 28, 2018, in Ifon, reportedly chopped off the head of the businessman for ritual purpose. The State’s Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fimihan Adeoye, who confirmed the incident said that the suspects were allegedly contracted by another businessman, Yekini Ayinde aka Abija, currently at large, who paid them N200,000 to kill the deceased.

According to the suspects, Isiaka had supplied bags of rice to Abija who didn’t want to pay for the goods after selling them, hence his contract to to kill him. Amusat who narrated how they killed the businessman said;

“When we got to the bush, Abija told the driver to stop and he gave us a sign. We quickly overpowered Isiaka and tied him with a rope.

Kabiru wanted to kill him with his gun but we later decided to use a knife to cut his throat. After killing him, I remembered that I needed a human head for money ritual and I quickly removed his head.

I was roasting the head and preparing other items needed for the ritual when some policemen came. I managed to escape that day. I ran away from Ifon but they eventually apprehended me on December 28, 2018.”

Nigerian man dares God to take his life to prove he truly exists

                                 

A weird Facebook post which has long gone viral, had a Nigerian man daring God to take his life, to prove he truly exists

According to the Nigerian man who dared God, if his life can’t be taken in 30 minutes that means God doesn’t exist. James William post reads;

I dare God to take my life in 30 minutes, if he cant, then that means he doesn’t exist

This is coming after a Nigerian atheist said he will gladly live in a lake of fire if he discovers God exists on the last day.  Ayodele said;

“Both atheists and religious people face the same dilemma when asked this question. It is like asking a Christian what would happened if he dies and finds out that Christianity is not the way but Islam; or what a Muslim would do if he dies and discovers that Judaism is the only true religion. But to answer this question directly, I don’t play Pascal’s Wager. I would still not be bothered if I die and find out that the God of Christians is the right God. This is because I have studied the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and found only a single place where Satan actually took the life of someone and at the permission of God. Millions of people were killed in the Bible by God himself or under His instruction.

“We read in the Bible where God was said to have intentionally hardened King Pharaoh’s heart so that God could kill all the innocent firstborn of Egyptian families. This is barbaric and I wouldn’t want to be associated with a figure of such unstable behaviour. So, if am to evaluate the personality of God and that of Satan as presented in the Bible, Satan is not responsible for any evil but God. And moreover, it is better to die for a good cause. If I could be good to everyone on earth and still find myself in Satan’s hellfire because I didn’t accept a man as my lord and saviour, then I will be glad to live in such lake of fire.”

Court Refuses Dino Melaye’s Request To Order Police Officers Out Of Residence

A Federal High Court in Abuja has refused a request by a senator, Dino Melaye, for police officers to vacate his residence and desist from further attempts at arresting him.

Mr Melaye had approached the court after the police officers laid a siege to his residence following allegations by the senator that the police planned to poison him.

Mr Melaye also asked the court to stop the police from what he described as acting in a manner threatening his life.

The requests were presented as ex-parte applications after Mr Melaye asked the court for enforcement of his fundamental rights in the same court.


An ex-parte application could have allowed the judge to grant the order without hearing from the police.

In a ruling on the ex-parte application on Thursday, a judge, N. E. Maha, refused the application, but ruled that the substantive matter be granted accelerated hearing.

The police have insisted on arresting Mr Melaye, accusing him of involvement in the killing of a police officer.

The controversial senator is already facing two separate charges of attempted suicide and allegedly arming criminal suspects.

Bride In Tears After Guests Ate Up Wedding Cake Before Photos

Months of planning go into organising the perfect wedding, and most couples spend huge amounts of time making sure every tiny detail is exactly how they want it.

So sometimes it can be hard to accept when things go wrong. One bride was left in tears after her guests made a rather awkward mistake at her wedding, which denied the bride of many people's favourite tradition.

When the couple decided it was time to cut the cake, they were horrified to realise hungry guests had beaten them too it.

The cake, which was made from cheese, didn't have bride and groom on the top, leading a least four of their nearest and dearest assuming it was part of the meal and tucked in. Oops.


A guest said the mistake caused an "absolute war" to break out and said the bride was in fits of tears.

One of the guests shared the story on Mumsnet.

She wrote: "You won't believe what happened at a wedding last night.

"No, I'm not the guest in question.

"Evening guests turned up at 7pm. Around 8pm bride and groom decided to cut the cake. Only to find cake had already been cut by a hungry guest.

"Cake in question was a three tiered cake made of different cheeses. Surrounded by grapes and crackers/biscuits. No little bride and groom on top.

"An absolute war broke out about it. Half the people saying well, how were they supposed to know it was the cake, other half saying it was pretty obvious.

"Cake was in a separate room to the bar and dance floor. Bride in tears (or tiers boom boom).

"Around three or four people had taken some of the cake by the time they realised!"

Caretaker Takes tenant To Court for disclosing her rent to others

A caretaker, Abdul Bello, on Wednesday dragged Khadija Afolabi, a tenant, to a Sharia court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna, demanding her evacuation from the compound because she disclosed her rent to other tenants who paid higher rates, Punch Metro reports.

The complainant accused the defendant of not keeping to her promise of packing out of the house three months ago when she was served with a notice from the landlady, Hajiya Farin-Dutse.

Bello explained that the house, located at No 24, Yoruba Road, contained two flats.

He said that Afolabi took one flat and had been paying an annual rent of N130,000 for four years, while the other tenant was paying N150,000

“She begged me to talk to the landlady to consider her financial status and accept N125,000, which I did, and the landlady agreed but only accepted N130,000,’’ he explained

The caretaker accused the tenant of revealing the amount she paid to the other tenant, an act he described as gossip; and which triggered a misunderstanding between the landlady and the other tenant.

He prayed the court to compel Afolabi to pack out of the house immediately, since her rent had expired since December 18, 2018; and as the landlady had already given out the flat to her cousin.

In her defence, the defendant denied any act of gossip in the matter, adding that she had been paying her rent diligently.

Judge Musa Sa’ad-Goma, after listening to both parties, ruled that Afolabi should pack out of the house on or before January 8.
