“My Name Is Kunle Remi And Not Adesua’s Ex” – Actor Kunle Remi.

Actor, Kunle Remi has finally addressed reports making rounds, that he dated Banky W’s wife, Adesua Etomi a while back..

Read His statement below;

MY NAME IS KUNLE REMI and Not ADESUA’s Ex.

Silence,they say is Golden.

I have been silent, but some people have taken this as an invitation to take the piss!! I have chosen my words and thought this action through, so read carefully, yes, pay attention I will only say this once.

I am not a bitter person neither am I a sadist.

‘If’ you know me, (if you don’t, ask about me from those that do) you would know I am a very positive and I radiate good vibes only, I am not here for any form of negativity whatsoever.

My name has been used inappropriately, and it is time I set the record straight.

I intentionally waited till after the festive of the beautiful wedding ceremony had come to a natural halt out of respect for the couple.

I have not till this present day said to any blogger, or mentioned on any social media platform, or granted any interview admitting or confirming that I was ever in a relationship with the former Miss Adesua Etomi who as well all know tied the knot over the past weekend, neither do I recall her doing the same.

Yet some jobless people cooked up stories and sold it to other jobless people and then jobless readers and commentators believed it and hence the rumors started circulating with no proof other than pictures of us on a Movie set titled (FALLING. A great film by the way, It’s on Netflix if you haven’t seen it.).

Contrary to the opinion of people who feel theirs matters, I don’t have to congratulate the beautiful couple publicly to prove anything. Some of us would rather do our things privately. You CAN’T believe all you see on social media (some people will still not understand).

Take for example ; Recently I posted a picture of my Beautiful Nephew on my Instagram and as expected, rumors started again without any confirmation that I have a baby. (Quote me) I never confirmed to anyone that he is My Son. So there you go!!. Not all you see or read on social media is the gospel truth.

Having said that this is my advice to those this may concern; Just for your sanity try to be sure about the rumors and gist before you tongue lash people or judge people.

Sometimes Not every one is strong enough to handle it.

If you don’t know anything or if you are not sure, you don’t have to comment or curse people just SHUT UP. “If You don’t talk (in cases like this) you won’t die”.

BE SURE BEFORE YOU JUDGE ANYONE, OR BETTER STILL DON’T. THAT’S WHY GOD SAYS HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN JUDGE US ALL.

Don’t Curse yourself.

Thank you for reading.

PS : Next Time you want to talk about me or refer to me. My Name is KUNLE REMI, the charming, charismatic , God Fearing, hardworking , Gentlemen but you can just call me THE ACTOR!!

Signed

Well… Thoughts..? 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Jay Z Finally Admits He Cheated On Beyoncé, Reveals Therapy Kept Them From Divorce.

For a very long time fans and critics alike have been in the shade as to whether Jay Z was guilty of infidelity.

He dropped hints on 4:44 that he had cheated on his wife Beyonce. But the Grammy winner has never come out and said outright that he stepped out on her.

That changed on Wednesday however, when the hip hop legend, 47, sat down with Dean Baquet from The New York Times for a very revealing chat.

The New York-born entrepreneur not only admitted that he been unfaithful to his wife of nine years, but the Young Forever singer also said that therapy kept them from getting divorced.

Jay Z started talking about the infidelity when he addressed the scars he still has from his past.

Those scars led to him push away his wife, 36. And that led to the cheating that she addressed in Lemonade.

‘You have to survive. So you go into survival mode, and when you go into survival mode, what happens? You shut down all emotions. So, even with women, you gonna shut down emotionally, so you can’t connect. … In my case, like, it’s deep. And then all the things happen from there: infidelity,’ he said.

He has never named the woman he cheated with. Beyonce has called her ‘Becky with the good hair.’

First she touched on his straying on Lemonade. Then he addressed it on 4:44.

But he said that it was not planned that way and they were actually going to do a joint album.

‘We were using our art almost like a therapy session. And we started making music together. And then the music she was making at that time was further along. So, her album came out as opposed to the joint album that we were working on.’

He added: ‘We still have a lot of that music. And this is what it became. There was never a point where it was like, “I’m making this album.” I was right there the entire time.’

The music made them ‘very, very uncomfortable.’

Jay told the NYT: ‘But the best place in the hurricane is in the middle of it.

‘The best place is right in the middle of the pain. And that’s where we were sitting. And it was uncomfortable. And we had a lot of conversations.

‘[I was] really proud of the music she made, and she was really proud of the art I released.

‘And, you know, at the end of the day we really have a healthy respect for one another’s craft. I think she’s amazing.’

And Jay Z even hinted that they could have divorced.

‘You know, most people walk away, and, like, divorce rate is like 50 percent or something ’cause most people can’t see themselves.

‘The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone’s face that you caused, and then have to deal with yourself.’

As far as West, he said they have a lot of ups and downs.

‘I [talked to] Kanye the other day, just to tell him, like, he’s my brother. I love Kanye. I do. It’s a complicated relationship with us.’

‘And we both love and respect each other’s art, too. So it’s like, we both – everyone wants to be the greatest in the world. You know what I’m saying? And then there’s like a lot of other factors that play in it. But it’s gonna, we gonna always be good.’

‘In the long relationship, you know, hopefully when we’re 89 we look at this six months or whatever time and we laugh at that.

‘There’s gonna be complications in the relationship that we have to get through. And the only way to get through that is we sit down and have a dialogue and say, “These are the things that I’m uncomfortable with. These are the things that are unacceptable to me. This is what I feel.”

‘I’m sure he feels that I’ve done things to him as well. I’m not a perfect human being by no stretch.’

“I Was Very Stupid, Please Forgive Me.” Paul Okoye Apologizes to Fans.

Paul Okoye is sorry, and now regrets bringing his family issues on social media, and now asking his fans to forgive him.

Paul while in a chat with Olisa Adibua on BeatFM, was asked about his sad family drama with his brothers, Peter and Jude.

Recall, the brothers almost came to blows in their lawyer, Festus Keyamo’s office…. Paul said he wasn’t himself at that time, and now, he no longer wishes to stoke more flames.

Despite being persistently probed by the hosts of the show, Paul refused to be drawn into issues bordering on Psquare.

The interview also asked if he’d ever collaborate with his brother, Peter for PSquare again, and he simply said; “I don’t know”.

He however, apologized to his fans, saying, “My fans, take heart. As e dey break my heart, na so e dey break una heart.”

He continued, “I think I was very stupid, in that aspect. Something got into me. I couldn’t stand him. But what I did, I regretted it. Please forgive me for that and let me move on.”

Though he believes every family faces its own issues. “Everybody has problems in their families, everyone has issues,” he said.

Unilag Olodo Petitions The Lady Who Accused Him Of Rape.

Ibrahim Salawu, founder of Unilag Olodo and owner of the Olodo Nation movement, has been in the middle of a nasty rape accusation.

A few days ago, a lady named Tobi, called him out on twitter, saying she went to have a sleep over at his place and he raped her.

He came on twitter a few hours later admitted that he knew her, but denied the accusation. However, he has taken a proactive step by reporting the case to the police, and filing a petition against his accuser.

He uploaded a tweet confirming the petition a few hours ago.

The undue hardship I have faced in the past few days is unbearable. False allegations of sexual misconduct is now used as a weapon to destroy lives. pic.twitter.com/2o4tlP3BFN

We will see how the case plays out.

Here is the picture of the petition document below.

We Can Shake Hands But I Will Never Forget, Cassper Tells Rappers Who Dissed Him

Cassper Nyovest may forgive all his colleagues who made his life miserable when he began this journey, but he will never forget the pain they caused him.

Speaking to DJ Sbu on Massiv Metro yesterday, the Mama I Made It rapper said he was made the ‘laughing stock’ by those who felt he was beneath them, that they wrote diss tracks about him, but he did not let their hate bring him down. Instead, he channeled all that energy into making better music, gaining more fans.

“I will never forget when I was the laughing stock, when they were writing diss tracks about me. I used that as fuel to succeed. We can shake hands but I will never forget,” said the rapper on the radio.

And explaining how he endured the hate, he said, “People would say, ‘you didn’t finish school’ and I would tell them; ‘yeah, but I have R10-million.’”

Now, he doesn’t need to brag about his wealth, because has become the first rapper in South Africa to fill up a major arena without international backing. His haters have yet to achieve this feat!

This comes two weeks after he disgraced rapper AKA who publicly begged to be featured at his upcoming Johannesburg stadium gig.

Recall that AKA had dissed Cassper for years, shamed him on Twitter, mocked him at every point and even once said he would not make peace with Cassper. But earlier this month, AKA took to Twitter to beg Cassper, saying that he wants to put an end to their over-stretched feud that had rocked South Africa for too long. He asked to be featured at Cassper’s major upcoming concert, saying he wants to make money and make peace.

But Cassper refused.

“If [AKA] wants to help, he needs to buy tickets and attend the show,” said Cassper. “As far as the performances, best believe we got that covered. Trust me.”

LOL.

We now know why Cassper said a loud ‘no’ to AKA; he will never forget how much pain AKA and his ilk caused him.

David Otunga Wins Custody of His Son From His Ex Fiancee Jennifer Hudson

David Otunga has had himself a huge win as he now has primary custody of his son David Jr.

After breaking up with Jennifer Hudson because she cheated on him with Gospel Singer Mali Music, she tried to take full custody of the child and had him forcibly removed from their home. Otunga fought back and won.

David Otunga is now back in business with his son, because he’s now the primary custodial parent.

Sources tell TMZ Jennifer Hudson and David reached a temporary custody agreement which gives him custody of 8-year-old David Jr. the majority of the time.

Jennifer is currently in London shooting “The Voice UK” and she’s committed to significant travel to Los Angeles to do “The Voice.”

Apparently they both now acknowledge that he will again become the primary custodial parent, at least until a formal custody agreement is worked out.

Jennifer also voluntarily dropped her order of protection, which prohibited David from having contact with their son or her. She admits that the order of protection was bogus and just was her way at trying to get back at Otunga even though she was the one who has been accused of cheating.

Otunga in no shape, form or fashion caused her or her son any harm.  To have the police show up and remove Otunga from the home hoping he would cause a scene to help her smear his name is as low as one can get. However, he didn’t take the bait and handled things in a professional way.

Back in 2016, Hudson explained why she wasn’t in a rush to get married even though Otunga wanted to get married. She also pointed out how Otunga saved her life.

On The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the 35-year-old opened up about her nine-year engagement to her fiancé David Otunga, revealing that she doesn’t mind delaying the nuptials. “I’m not in a rush,” she tells the host. “He ain’t going nowhere.”

Hudson later credited Otunga with saving her life, noting that she would have been in the Chicago home with her mother and brother had she not flown to Florida to visit Otunga.

Banky W Mistakenly Uploads Nude Photo Of Adesua On Snapchat

This morning, newly married singer Banky W shared a video from their hotel room in South Africa.

However he made the mistake of showing off his wife’s butt in the video(we think it was a mistake anyway).

Apparently the besotted man was showing us giraffes just outside their hotel room window, but mistakenly clipped Adesua in.

She was adjusting her thong, with her back to the camera and had nothing else on her.

This has sparked a lot of comments on social media, with people making fun of them, believing that the video was uploaded by mistake.

Watch the video below:

Zimbabwe’s New President Emmerson Mnangagwa Dissolves Mugabe’s Cabinet

Zimbabwe’s president Emmerson Mnangagwa three days after his inauguration has dissolved the cabinet of his predecessor Robert Mugabe, who resigned after the military took control of the country, a senior government official said on Monday.

Mnangagwa “is in the process of putting together a new team of cabinet ministers”, Misheck Sibanda, the chief secretary to the president and cabinet said in a statement.

Sibanda added that Mnangagwa has appointed Patrick Chinamasa as acting finance minister and Simbarashe Mumbengegwi as acting top diplomat “to allow uninterrupted services in critical ministries of government.”

The statement did not indicate when Mnangagwa will announce his new cabinet.
