Sunmbo Ajaba & pastor David Adeoye's wedding postponed

The wedding has either been cancelled or postponed. Nobody knows what it is at the moment. The couple who have been dating quietly since 2011 were supposed to wed this past Saturday May 4th at Royalty Christian Centre where Adeoye is head pastor, but no wedding took place. In fact Sunmbo, one of 2face Idibia's baby mamas, is currently in the US on holiday with her kids while pastor Adeoye is in Nigeria.

Pastor Adeoye, who lost his wife in 2011, made his intention to marry Sunmbo known to his congregation last year, an announcement that didn't go down well with his followers. Heard some of them quit the church...and a few pastors advised Adeoye to shelve the idea of marrying Sunmbo for now. Has that forced the man of God to cancel his wedding? Time will tell. For now, let's just say the wedding has been postponed while they sort out their issues.

Sloane Stephens blasts Serena Williams

Tennis sensation Sloane Stephens, 20, once said that Serena Williams was her role model and she looked up to her growing up. In fact Sloan said her dream was to be the next Serena Williams. Then the mentor and mentee met at the Australian open this past January and the mentee beat the mentor.

After then things changed between them. Apparently Serena didn't take too kindly to being beaten by Sloan and went from being Sloan's mentor to being her enemy in the blink of an eye..

In the latest issue of ESPN Magazine, Sloan blasts Serena revealing,

“She’s not said one word to me, not spoken to me, not said hi, not looked my way, not been in the same room with me since I played her in Australia. And that should tell everyone something, how she went from saying all these nice things about me to unfollowing me on Twitter.”

“Like, seriously! People should know. They think she’s so friendly and she’s so this and she’s so that - no, that’s not reality! You don’t unfollow someone on Twitter, delete them off of BlackBerry Messenger. I mean, what for? Why?”
