Singer Jessie J takes aim at Rihanna?

British singer Jessie J appeared to take a jab at Rihanna and her penchant for posting nude photos on her Twitter and instagram pages when she wrote:

Though Jessie didn't name names but quite a number of people believed she was refering to Riri. Jessie had to explain further. She wrote

I’m going to be honest. My tweet about Instagram was NOT aimed at anyone in particular. But I will openly say the amount of pictures including men and woman nude and girls and guys promoting smoking drugs on the internet these days is a lot. Feels like the boundaries are disappearing. Its become fashionable and in my opinion its too much. Call me what you want but that’s MY opinion and I’m entitled to one.

I agree, Jessie!

Segun Oniru,The armed robbery attack on Lagos commissioner

Lagos State commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, and one of the sons of Oba Idowu Oniru, the Oniru of Iruland, Prince Segun Oniru, was attacked by armed men on Friday December 21st near Four Points By Sheraton Hotel in Oniru.

The prince, his police orderly and driver were coming from an event on that Friday evening when another SUV hit his SUV violently from the back as they approached a bump. As they got out of their car to inspect the extent of damage, the men in the other SUV came down and fired shots at them. Prince Segun Oniru's orderly was killed at the scene, his driver ran off and Prince Oniru in panic got back into his car. The robbers entered his car and drove him around the area after robbing him of his phones, credit cards, and all his money.

Prince Oniru escaped the robbers by jumping out of his car as the robbers approached a bump near where he was attacked.

The prince was treated for bullet wounds but luckily no bullet penetrated his body.
Please when a car hits you from behind at night, do not come out to inspect...they are probably armed robbers

Chris Brown and Rihanna not together again?

It seems Rihanna wants to let go of all the drama, but just doesn't know how to. After moving into Rihanna's home and spending the holidays with her, Chris Brown was spotted at an event with ex girlfriend, Karrueche Tran over the weekend. The two attended the Agenda Trade Show to show Chris’ new Black Pyramid clothing line to potential buyers and were later seen driving in his Porsche drop top (picture above). Chris and Kae later posted photos online of their feet on the same carpet.
 
Rihanna is now talking about walking away from all the drama. Has she had enough? Well, she's done this before so it probably means nothing. See what Rihanna posted on her Instagram page yesterday, after the cut...

Princewill Ojukwu:Don Jazzy asked his Thugs to brutalize me

Popular Lagos socialite and former manager of Auto Lounge Nite Club, Princewill Ojukwu, is accusing ace music producer Don Jazzy of sending thugs to beat him up, this is according to an exclusive report by Stella Dimoko Korkus.

Princewill is alleging in a petition to the IG of Police, that on Friday December 21st, Don Jazzy asked his thugs to 'take his life' after he and the music producer exchanged words at Jazzy's night club, Pop, situated in Victoria Island.

Princewill claimed he was brutally beaten and stripped naked under the supervision of Don Jazzy and he suffered blunt force trauma to the eye, face and body. Sounds insane!

Princewill is also claiming that Don Jazzy sent a text to him some days back apologizing for the beating and asking for an account to send money for hospital bill but he says he's not interested.

'Its not about the money' Ojukwu told Dimoko 'this could happen to anyone, it is abuse of power and needs to be checked before someone is killed all in the name of the other being a celebrity. Don Jazzy stood there pinging on his blackberry as his thugs beat me up, that is the last thing I remember before I fainted....''

Weeks after the beating, Princewill says he cannot wear shoes, still walks around in pain and has constant migraine. He said he reported the case at the Bar Beach police station but no arrest was ever made. See his petition after the cut...

Very touching. Thank God the guy also spoke out.

On Bisi’s Jeep and properties....

Tunde:  Bisi’s property, I don't think it is a proper thing for family members to be fighting me for bisi’s properties less than 24hours after Bisi’s death when we should be mourning her. Bisi died at age 27 and it is sad. I am sending the Honda Pilot back to them, sad enough Bisi’s parents do not have issues with me but her extended family members. Please note I have given them time and place to pick the car.

Doctor:Bisi Komolafe Didn't Bleed But Kept Receiving Blood

A lot of stories have been flying around, and we also got so many comments that suggested it was a spiritual attack. We couldn't post them because almost all fingers were pointing at a particular actor. Some websites have also said it was a spiritual attack too. Some said it was due to the negligence of the Doctors who took care of her. But one of the doctors who treated her, has this to say;

It was not just a miscarriage she had I treated her in my hospital few weeks before her demise where i counselled and referred her to UCH. She kept on receiving blood without bleeding and her pcv kept on going down. I learnt the pregnancy was terminated to save her life and in all she took about 40 units of blood within 3 months. It was not negligence on the part of the Doctors who saw her but the nature of an ailment that kept drying up her blood without any active bleeding in her body.
