Beyonce And Jay-Z Didn't Check With Obama Before Cuba Trip?

Jay-Z and Beyonce celebrated their five-year wedding anniversary recently with a trip to Cuba but now the power couple may be in trouble with the U.S. government reps after their excursion. We just assumed that Hov got Obama on the phone before booking the trip to get the greenlight.

According to the NY Times, two Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart, have asked Adam J. Szubin, the director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control at the Treasury Department, about how the duo received a license to visit Cuba.

“Cuba’s tourism industry is wholly state-controlled, therefore, U.S. dollars spent on Cuban tourism directly fund the machinery of oppression that brutally represses the Cuban people,” claim the Reps. Americans can only go to Cuba for authorized reasons. The NY Times reports that those who violate the travel ban can get up to a 10-year prison sentence or a $250,000 fine. Many Americans violate the ban by traveling to an intermediary country and then going to Cuba from there.

The Havana Times shares that Bey and Jay enjoyed a dinner at the famous La Guarida private restaurant, a walk through Old Havana and visits with the Danza Contemporanea Troupe. Fans crowded around the famous pair and took to calling out Beyonce’s name until she finally came out into the balcony to wave hello to the throng. Snapshots of Bey and Jay showed them enjoying the trip including, one flick of Jay puffing away on a Cuban cigar.

I Am Tired of Denying It, John Dumelo Is My Husband – Wife Finally Cries Out

John Dumelo has since denied the marriage saying it was a fake marriage certificate. He wrote on twitter: He twitted that: “I wish I was really married…the fake marriage certificate really looks good. Thumbs up to my crew filmin my clothing line documentary.”

Paternity Mess: Pete Edochie Is My Father – Kenya Model Ephy Saint

No matter how long a secret is kept, one day, it shall come to the open. We recently had a chat with a certain model and actor in Kenya, the young man ‘Ephy Saint’ exclusively told us that the veteran actor, Pete Edochie is his father but he has on several occasions denied his paternity.

He’s popularly known as Ephy Saint in Nairobi, Kenya where he reigns supreme as a model and a thespian of note. This actor cum model is yet to unravel the mystery surrounding his paternity as he claims to be a son to the veteran actor, Pete Edochie, popularly known as Okonkwo by movie buffs.

In an exclusive interview with Ephy Saint recently, the 23-year old entertainer, who resides in Kenya, said he would love to be buried in Nigeria where his father, Pete Edochie, resides.

Well, we may see him as a child whose paternity has not been legally established, however, what if his revelations about Pete Edochie being his father are actually true? Wait till tomorrow as we bring you all the full details of his life with his mother who told him about his Nigerian actor father.

LL Cool J 'Accidental Racist' Criticism Not Quelled By Brad Paisley's Explanation

Monday (April 8) was not a good day for LL Cool J. The legendary Queens rapper went from G.O.A.T. to goat in social media after his lyrics on “Accidental Racist,” a post-racial collaboration with Brad Paisley, came under fire from critics and fans alike when the track hit the Internet ahead of the release of the country singer’s ninth studio album, Wheelhouse.

Uncle L, who has his own new LP, Authentic, set for release later this month, was the target of countless acerbic rants and jokes on blogs and, of course, Twitter for the following line: "If you don't judge my do-rag / I won't judge your red flag / If you don't judge my gold chains / I'll forget the iron chains."

The “Mama Said Knock You Out” MC’s verse was in response to Paisley’s empathetic crooning about a Starbucks employee taking his Confederate flag t-shirt as a sign for white supremacy, which makes him an “Accidental Racist” because he doesn’t believe that the flag symbolizes racism, singing, “I'm a white man living in the southland...I'm proud of where I'm from but not everything we've done," and "It ain't like you and me can rewrite history...walking over eggshells," before adding in an "aw shucks" manner that he's "A proud rebel son ... lookin' like I got a lot to learn."

Probably the most humorous tweet to come out of yesterday’s onslaught was from The Roots’ ?uestlove, who tweeted, “Just heard the "Accidental Racist" man that Weird Al is amazing.”

Outside of motivational tweets, the “NCIS: Los Angeles” actor has not directly or officially responded to the song’s rampant criticism, but Paisley, who likely enraged his loyal fanbase with the song, spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the song’s intentions, saying that the song was not a publicity stunt for his new album but was meant to be a window into America’s “adolescence” stage as it pertains to racism, where sometimes it feels like things are getting better, but other times it doesn’t.

"I think that [the song] comes from an honest place in both cases, and that's why it's on there and why I'm so proud of it," he said. "This isn't a stunt. This isn't something that I just came up with just to be sort of shocking or anything like that. I knew it would be, but I'm sort of doing it in spite of that, really."

The 2008 CMA and ACM Male Vocalist of the Year added that art has a responsibility to lead the discussion on difficult topics and ask hard questions.

"It really came to a boil last year with 'Lincoln' and 'Django [Unchained] and there's just a lot of talk about it," he said. "It was really obvious to me that we still have issues as a nation with this ... We're asking the question in a big way. How do I show my Southern pride? What is offensive to you? And he kind of replies, and his summation is really that whole let's bygones be bygones ... We don't solve anything, but it's two guys that believe in who they are and where they're from very honestly having a conversation and trying to reconcile."

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, let’s just hope that LL Cool J's sonic misstep won’t cause him to be banished to the fiery pits of "Slander Hell" for an eternity.

Ciara On Tension With Rihanna, 'There Is No Relationship'

Ciara On Tension With Rihanna, 'There Is No Relationship'

Ciara is finally going on the record about her longstanding, rumored feud with Rihanna. In an interview with Hot 107.9 in Philly, Ciara was asked what her relationship with Rihanna was, to which she responded, "There is no relationship." Ciara then said she might not even speak to Rih Rih if they were in the same room.

"If something is supposed to happen, it’ll happen. But even when it pertains to her I never had an issue with her. So I don’t know what it is, I can’t figure it out. I guess I don’t care to figure it out," explained Ciara. "But I always came from a place of love and support for her ever since we hung out a little bit, or whatever it is. So she’s on whatever she’s on, and it is what it is."

Rihanna herself was less confused about the conflict. A Rihanna fan site put up the interview with some captions on Instagram via YBF and Rihanna herself responded, "Hehe...u don't know??? Cmooonnnnn" to Ciara's statements.

Rihanna And Ciara Beef Escalates With Instagram Post

It seemed as if the beef between Rihanna and Ciara had subsided but BadGirl RiRi is a force to be reckoned with. The “Diamonds” singer made it clear that she wasn’t ready just yet to put her fighting fists down with a recent posting on Instagram that took a subtle jab at Ciara.

Rihanna’s best friend Melissa Forde posted a picture on her Instagram of her and Rihanna watching Ciara’s a capella version of her new single “Body Party.” She tweeted the picture with the caption “#BodyParty (bathroom acapella version) #London.” Ciara, retweeted the link without realizing the true intentions of it until later.

“I didn’t receive what they did from a positive place,” Ciara said via Rap Up.

Ciara thought the beef was over between the two of them. I’m not going at it with anybody,” she explained. “There’s never been still going at it for me. I’ve always thought that everything was cool ’cause I actually remember seeing Rihanna two years ago at the Met Gala after we had the little small back and forth. And from what I recall, everything was cool.”

Even with RiRi making subtle jabs at her Ciara kept things positive. “In my mind, I operate from a place of love and support. If you would have asked me about it up until this point, I would have nothing but good things to say ’cause I’m sincerely happy for her,” she said.

Although Rihanna might still be harboring feelings of contempt it seems as if Ciara is ready to move on.

How my wife was raped, stabbed by Okada rider in Bauchi – Victims husband

Bauchi—A 35-year-old man from the Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area of Bauchi State, Isa Umar has appealed to both the state government and the police to assist him by bringing to justice, a person who allegedly raped his wife.

Umar and the officer in charge of the Legal Aid Council, Zubayr Hanbali made the plea, yesterday, at the secretariat of the Nigerian Union of Journalists in Bauchi.

In his account of the incident, Umar alleged that he asked a commercial motorcyclist, (okada) whose name was simply given as Auwalu to take his wife and two children to a nearby village, but he diverted into the bush at Ball village in Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area and raped the woman in front of her two children aged between three and six years, after stabbing her with a knife.

“My wife lost her pregnancy as a result of the incident and suffered psychological trauma due to shock and the shame. I feel very sad over what happened to her and I intend to see that the person who committed this abominable act does not go unpunished. I felt ashamed of myself because he has spoilt my name and reputation,” Umar lamented.

He said that he took his wife to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching Hospital and treated her for over two weeks, adding that the culprit tried to bribe him with N40,000 so as to bury the matter, but he declined and reported the matter to the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, in charge of Bununu.

According to him, the DPO said since Auwalu did not admit commiting the crime, it will be difficult for them to prosecute him, hence he approached the Legal Aid Council for assistance.

Narrating her ordeal to newsmen, the victim, (names withheld) who said she was a mother of four children alleged that the suspect diverted her to the bush instead of taking her to the village she was going to with two of her children and threatened to kill her if she refused to cooperate with him.

“He stabbed me with a knife and beat me. He wrestled with me and overpowered me before he raped me in the presence of my two kids and told me I cannot do anything to him because he would get away with the act,” Mrs Umar added.

The Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Hassan Mohammed Auyo said he was not aware of the incident but promised to investigate the allegation.

NFF cuts Eagles bonus, coaches salaries

Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi

The Nigeria Football Federation has taken a very significant step to curtail overhead cost in the administration of football in the country. The Technical and Development Committee of the federation, which met in Abuja on Tuesday, recommended for immediate implementation, a list of decisions that would substantively cut down the cost of prosecuting games involving the national teams.

One of the major decisions is the review of the salaries of all the national team coaches, including that of Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi. Even though he has a contract still running, We learnt that every coach in the employment of the federation would be affected as soon as the implementation begins.

The General Secretary of the NFF, Mr. Musa Amadu, told our correspondent on Tuesday that the federation was simply facing the reality on ground.

He said, “If you take just a simple look at the period around June and the cost implication for the country, for instance, you will understand that the measures being taken have become very necessary. We cannot continue like this; there has to be sensible auditing.”

The NFF added that based on the poor financial situation, the committee has also recommended the staff auditing of the technical crew and backroom staff of all the national teams. This move will see the national team coaches being cut down to maximum of two assistants and a goalkeeper trainer. The Eagles have three assistant coaches plus a goalkeeper trainer. The other backroom staffers are to be cut down too.

The players themselves were not spared in the latest decision. Their win bonus, which was raised to $10,000 some years ago has been cut down to $5,000. The bonus became an issue after the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa as the NFF could not pay the final game bonus after it was nearly doubled from the pre-tournament rate.

“The Committee regrets the financial situation that has also necessitated the pegging of bonuses, review of allowances and salaries of coaches of the national teams,” the committee communiqué read.

The committee also considered the employment of coaches for positions of Technical Director of the NFF and the coaching staff of the U-23 national team but no names were listed.

The committee also deliberated on the war of words between Keshi and his players and assured that peace would reign before the country embarks on the series of matches for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, as well as the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.

Oga at the top movie debuts!!!

Call it the director’s creativity or mischief, the movie, Oga at the top, is out. Quite similar to the viral ‘Oga at the top’ quote, the movie features popular Nollywood actor, Nkem Owoh, also known as Osuofia. Although the viral quote stopped trending on Twitter after a week of dominance, Nigerians put their creativity to test as they made T-shirts, mugs, songs and jokes about the error made by the Lagos State Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Obafaiye Shem, during an interview on Channels Televison.
Efforts to reach Osuofia proved futile as his mobile phone was switched off when Saturday Beats tried to reach him. He did not also reply to a text message sent to his phone.

Flood returns to Lagos

 The heat in Lagos in the last couple of months has been insane....so insane that you'd pray for rain. But then the rain comes, and there's flood. Awolowo Way, Ikeja was flooded this morning after a down pour. Cars were submerged to window level, leaving a number of cars stuck.

15-year-old rape victim loses baby

                                         Deborah

Deborah Jolaosho, the 15-year-old girl, allegedly raped by a 40-year-old man, Taju Adejumo, has delivered a stillborn baby.

Punch Metro learnt that Deborah was delivered of the stillborn baby early last month.

On February 6, 2013, reported Deborah’s rape by the father of four.

After the rape, Deborah, who was a virgin, missed her period. Subsequent medical examination showed that the 15-year-old pupil of Meiran Community Junior Secondary School was pregnant.

As of February 6 when We visited the home of the Jolaoshos, Deborah’s pregnancy was said to be seven months.

The suspect had told our correspondent on the telephone then that the incident was the devil’s work.

Adejumo agreed then he had sex with the minor on one occasion, but insisted that he was not responsible for the pregnancy.

“I did not do it intentionally. As I speak to you, I cannot understand what happened to me that day. Since that time, I have remained unstable. As for the pregnancy, I do not believe that action led to it. From the scan and tests, we were made to believe she is seven months pregnant but I had sex with her about six months ago,” Adejumo had said.

A family source, who did not want to be quoted, told our correspondent on Monday that Deborah was delivered of the stillborn baby at Crescent Hospital, by Baale Bus Stop, Meiran, Lagos.

The source did not state the circumstances leading to the stillbirth but he said the pregnancy was in full circle.

He said they were happy she (Deborah) survived the birth of her stillborn baby.

“She was delivered of the stillborn baby at Crescent Hospital. She was delivered by Dr. Lateef of the hospital. The foetus has already died in her womb before delivery. We are happy Deborah survived,” the source said.

V-Channel Responds To Mercy Aigbe/Husband Disgrace Saga

Mercy and husband kissing at the show

We would summarise what happened yesterday for the sake of clarity and Mrs Gentry's legion of discerning fans.
Indeed, Mercy was hosted by indigenous television station on Startimes, Odua Mounmarowan, on Sunday evening. She came to the event with her friends, younger sister and Faith Irabor, a journalist in her car. However, Mr. Gentry came in from his hotel in Oregun, Lagos. The event was well-attended by movie and media personalities. Immediately after the event, Mercy went to the changing room allotted to her in company of her husband and Faith Irabor. On getting to the car park, however, Mercy’s car didn’t start; so she joined her husband with her friends and left for Oregun, her husband's hotel.


In all of these, one can’t get where Stella got her concocted report from. Mr Gentry left the venue happy as the event was successful and without hiccups.

As at the time the couple left, the musician specially invited to perform, Sunny Melody was still performing.
We are therefore confused as to where Mrs Dimoko got her story from? The moon, perhaps. Why does Mrs Dimoko keep publishing lies all in the name of journalism? Is she not happy that a younger woman, Mercy, has a flourishing career as an actor and producer and also enjoys domestic felicity? Mrs Dimoko, these are things God can do for you too if you stopped destroying homes and people.

Having said these, we challenge Mrs Dimoko to furnish the public with evidence of Gentry’s anger and battery, or Mercy leaving in a nightgown. We strongly believe that those who mean well for journalism should not watch people like this blogger drag the noble profession through the mud.
