Kizz Daniel’s Manager Wasn’t Sacked, He Voluntarily Resigned

Following widespread reports that Kizz Daniel sacked his manager, Oluwatumininu Lawrence; barely two weeks after Davido allegedly slapped and physically assaulted him at his ‘City of David’ concert on December 27th, many have questioned the rationale behind the sudden change in management.

While speculations that the altercation between Davido, his aides and Tumi Lawrence at Eko Hotel may have been the reason behind Kizz Daniel’s decision to dump Tumi for a new manager, a reliable source in Kizz’s camp who spoke to Potpourri on anonymous grounds has come out to clear the air on the matter.

According to the source, Kizz Daniel did not sack Tumi, he willingly quit his job as Kizz’s manager.


“The reports gone viral online that Kizz Daniel fired his manager, Tumi Lawrence, is false. How could he have sacked him; Kizz cannot even come out to say that he sacked Tumi because he willingly resigned as Kizz’s manager.

 The new lady parading herself as Kizz’s new manager was actually brought in by Tumi to handle publishing; but she began usurping everything. Then Kizz decided that she becomes his new manager while Tumi will still be handling bookings which didn’t go down well with him.

eventually decided to quit because he couldn’t take it. He felt cheated, slighted and disrespected, so he voluntarily resigned”, the source said. In a chat with Potpourri, another close associate of the ‘Woju’ singer who pleaded anonymity accused him of being obsessed with gaining international recognition, which is why he let Tumi off the hook when he decided to quit. “I really don’t understand Kizz anymore, but I think he is obsessed with the need to gain international recognition, if not, why would you just bring someone else on the team when you still have a substantive manager who has done everything to promote your brand beyond imagination? And trust me; Kizz would not say anything about all this because that’s his style.

Have you wondered why he hasn’t personally said anything about all this since? He knows what he is doing.” However, Kizz Daniel has remained radio silent on the matter, but his new management, led by one Rebecca Junaid has released an official statement stating that Flyboi INC and Kizz Daniel are now under a new management, with one Ogaga Sakpaide as the new public relations personnel.

Jose Mourinho secures new job after Man Utd sack

                                  

Jose Mourinho has secured a new job since being sacked as Manchester United coach after joining BeIN Sports as a TV pundit.

This was made known on Thursday that Jose will be an analyst for Chelsea’s Premier League trip to Arsenal on January 19 as well as Qatar and Saudi Arabia’s Asian Cup group-stage tie on January 17 on the Qatari channel’s broadcasts in the Middle East and North Africa.

The Portuguese was sacked by Manchester United in December after the club’s worst start to a season since 1990 and won three trophies during his two-and-a-half year tenure at Old Trafford.

“Jose is one of the greatest football managers of all time, and we hope that his expert analysis and charismatic personality will be enjoyed by our millions of viewers,” a beIN spokesman said in a statement.

Jose Mourinho had been linked with a return to former club Benfica after the Lisbon giants fired coach Rui Vitoria last week, but the 55-year-old told Correio da Manha earlier on Thursday that he would not take the job.

“I don’t have any intention of coming back to work in Portugal,” he told the newspaper. “I’m fine at the moment.”

A close aide of the union leader made it known that MC Oluomo would travel any time soon as plans had been concluded for his treatment by a specialist in the United States where he is a citizen. The aide said:

“He was stabbed in the neck and by the side with what they call makanje (poisoned knife). He is a citizen of the United States, so there cannot be any problem with his medical treatment abroad. In fact, he will be flown out in a few days for better medical care. Contrary to what they are saying, Baba (MC Oluomo) is not dead.”

No fewer than three police vans were keeping guard at the hospital – Eko Hospital – where the patient is being treated

Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegation documentary to be released soon

A documentary titled ‘Leaving Neverland’ which is based on how Michael Jackson sexually abused men is set to be released soon.

As ‘Surviving R Kelly‘ is drawing lots of reactions, late king of pop Michael Jackson is set to have a documentary about his sexual molestation allegations released soon. Sundance describes ”Leaving Neverland”:

“As one of the world’s most celebrated icons, Michael Jackson represents many things to many people—a pop star, a humanitarian, a beloved idol. When allegations of sexual abuse by Jackson involving young boys surfaced in 1993, many found it hard to believe that the King of Pop could be guilty of such unspeakable acts.

In separate but parallel stories that echo one another, two boys were each befriended by Jackson, who invited them into his singular and wondrous world. Seduced by the singer’s fairy-tale existence and enthralled by their relationship with him, both boys’ families were blind to the manipulation and abuse that he would ultimately subject them toThrough gut-wrenching interviews with the now-adult men and their families, ‘Leaving Neverland’ crafts a portrait of sustained exploitation and deception, documenting the power of celebrity that allowed a revered figure to infiltrate the lives of starstruck children and their parents.”

However, Michael Jackson’s brother Jermaine Jackson has described the work as a defamation because Michael was cleared of all charges by a court. He issued a statement on his Facebook page:

“A documentary titled “Leaving Neverland” is planned to be shown to 40,000 people at the Sundance Film Festival. The producer of the film is Dan Reed.

This film is based on the falsified claims of molestation by the hands of Michael Jackson. As Michael’s innocence was proven by a court of law and a 10 year FBI investigation, this is legally considered defamation of character. This mendacious documentary should NOT see the light of day.”
