Is Karrueche Tran willing to meet with Rihanna?

Karrueche Tran spoke with Vibe about her relationship with Chris Brown and whether or not she's willing to sit down with Rihanna...

If you could sit down with Chris and Rihanna, what would you want to get off your chest?
"For everybody, emotionally, that would just be way too much. I’m a very mature person so if the time ever did come where we would need to sit down and talk, I’d do it. I’m a mature person. I can work it out but that would be a lot. (Pause) Yeah, it would be a lot."
How hard is it to work with Chris with everything that’s going on?
At the end of the day, he will always be a friend. We’ll always care about each other. We won’t allow that to interfere. Our business is business.
Do you think you’ve found the person you could spend the rest of your life with?
I do care about him and I do love him. Family is very important to me, and I’ve always put it in my mind to remember that. For me, I’d love to meet somebody and grow and build a foundation, but I don’t want to even think about marriage right now. I can’t even get a clothing line out. (laughs)

Son of Sunny Okosun released from jail over alleged involvement in Nkiru Sylvanus' kidnap

One of the sons of late music icon Sunny Okosun has been released from jail after being arrested over his alleged involvement in the kidnap of Nkiru Sylvanus and Kenneth Okolie.

Jerry Okosun, who also works for the Imo State government as Director General of Student Affairs, was released January 5th after spending 11 days in police cell in Owerri with other suspected kidnappers.

Jerry was arrested on Christmas Day because for some weird reason, the kidnappers contacted him to negotiate the release of Nkiru Sylvanus. Jerry acted as a middle man for Nkiru's family, the Imo State government and the kidnappers. He was the one that negotiated the N8 million ransom that was eventually paid to secure Nkiru Sylvanus and Kenneth Okolie's release.

After their release, the Imo State Government Chief of Staff ordered Jerry's arrest because they claimed to have found some incriminating text messages on his phone connecting him to the crime...and also because Jerry had been insisting on the government paying N15million as ransom. Jerry says he's innocent.

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
