'I almost cut a piece of myself for your life - The Weeknd says he nearly gave Selena Gomez his kidney before their break up





Canadian singer, The Weeknd, 28 is still heartbroken following his failed relationship with his ex-Selena Gomez, 25, and has revealed that he nearly donated one of his kidneys to her before their break-up.
He made the claim in his newly released 6-song EP, “My Dear Melancholy” where he clearly spoke about his pop star ex in his new song “Call Out My Name”. 

The Weeknd sings “falling for you was my mistake,” and goes on to say: “I said I didn’t feel nothing, baby, but I lied I almost cut a piece of myself for your life Guess I was just another pit stop ‘Til you made up your mind You just wasted my time.'

Last year, Gomez underwent a kidney transplant due to complications from lupus. Her friend, Francia Raisa, eventually donated the organ to save her life.
A month after Selena and The Weeknd broke up in October, after 10 months of dating she linked up with her first love Justin Bieber.
In The Weeknd's closing track, “Privilege,” he apparently wished Selena the best in life.

He sings: “Enjoy your privileged life ’cause I’m not gonna hold you through the night . . . And I don’t wanna hear that you are suffering, you are suffering, no more.”

Rapper Fabolous punched his Babymama seven times, she lost two front teeth

Rapper Fabolous punched his Babymama seven times, she lost two front teeth
The domestic violence allegations against rapper Fabolous looks like a serious one, as new disturbing details have been revealed.

According to court documents obtained by NorthJersey, the Brooklyn rapper punched his longtime girlfriend Emily Bustamante, and babymother of two of his children in the face seven times causing her to lose her two front teeth, and made threats to kill her, her brother and her father.

Read the full report by NorthJersey below.
Englewood Police said in a statement the rapper, whose real name is John Jackson, turned himself in at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday on a domestic dispute and making terroristic threat charge. He was released from police custody.
Court documents show the alleged crime stemmed from an earlier incident on March 7, when Jackson while in Los Angeles on a business trip “became enraged” when he found out via Instagram the victim was also in Los Angeles.
According to an affidavit of probable cause, while on a flight back from Los Angeles, the victim told police that Jackson, 40, said via text he wanted to hit her in the head with a baseball bat and that he would kill her but he “did not want to go out like that.” The victim told police she was scared because of the March 7 incident. The victim was later punched by Jackson seven times in the face “causing severe damage to her two front teeth.” She ended up losing her two front teeth, according to court documents.
Reportedly, Emily B aka Emily Bustamente called her father to come remove a pair of handguns from her home. Fab allegedly came home and after he couldn’t find the guns, told Emily, her brother, and father that he had a bullet for them. Thus, the terroristic threat charge.

Looters: PDP dismisses FG's list, challenges APC to name convicted members of PDP



Looters:  PDP dismisses FG
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed the list of alleged "looters" published by the Federal Government as hollow and laughable.
The party said the list is an extension of federal government media trial and challenged it to come up names of its members against whom the federal government had secured convictions.

The list put forward by the Federal Government as purported looters amounts to a cheap blackmail as none of those listed have been indicted or convicted by any court of competent jurisdiction or any panel of enquiry in our country.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on Friday, said the list issued by the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, only goes to show that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Presidency have no prove of corruption against the PDP.

The party said in its frenzy and desperation, the federal government even included names of individuals who are not standing trial or under investigation for any act of corruption, as well as those who are not even PDP members.
The Buhari-led Federal Government has manifested its frenzy by going after matters that are in court and in which none of the persons have been convicted, thus betraying their wickedness and desperation to mislead the public, the court and divert attention from the heavy looting involving their members.
We are not in doubt that the individuals he has mentioned will take their legitimate stride and pursue appropriate action in the court.
However, attacks on individuals, who are members of our party, does not in anyway detract from the fact that the PDP, as a political platform, is not a party of corruption.
It is unfortunate that the APC and its government under whose watch horrendous sleazes are happening on daily basis and a government that has failed to fulfill the littlest of its campaign promises, can spend a wholesome three years searching for flimsy allegations to discredit our party and its members.
This is a government that is yet to account for $26 billion (N9 trillion) stolen through corrupt oil contracts in the NNPC, N1.1 trillion worth of crude diverted to service APC interests, N18 billion Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) intervention fund stolen by APC officials, including their former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, the N10 billion National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) for which members of the Buhari cabal were indicted as well as the Mainagate, where the APC government recalled and reinstated an individual indicted for scam running into billions of naira.
This is in addition to cover provided for serving ministers indicted for corrupt enrichment, among whom is a prominent former APC governor from the southsouth, who was indicted by his state for stealing billions of naira to fund President Buhari’s campaign in 2015.
We emphatically say that the PDP is on a rebound and such flimsy allegations by the APC and its horde of looters, who stole humongous wealth from their respective states of the federation to sponsor an incompetent candidate in 2015, cannot stop us from challenging the Federal Government to fulfill its campaign promises.
Since, the APC has decided to draw this attack, we will no longer hold back but appropriately commence a serialization of all looters hiding in APC and the Presidency.

Egyptian president wins second term with over 90 percent votes

Egyptian president wins second term with over 90?percent votes
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has won a second term with 96.9 percent of valid votes raising a previous tally from the preliminary count. 

The flagship state-owned newspaper Al-Ahram also raised its estimate of turnout in the March 26-28 election to 42.08 percent, saying 25 million of Egypt’s 60 million registered voters had cast ballots.

On Tuesday, the paper had reported that Sisi was re-elected with 92 percent of the vote on a turnout of just over 40 percent.  It gave no explanation for the upward revisions. Sisi, who as army chief ousted Egypt’s first freely elected president Islamist Mohamed Morsi after mass street protests in 2013, won his first term in 2014 with 96.9 percent of the vote.  

The only other candidate on the ballot paper this year, Moussa Mostafa Moussa, won 3.1 percent of the vote, Al-Ahram said. Moussa, a little-known politician who is himself a supporter of the president, registered immediately before the close date for applications, saving the election from being a one-horse race.  

The National Election Authority is scheduled to announce the full official result on Monday.  Moussa conceded defeat on Wednesday evening, saying he had hoped for 10 percent of the vote but knew all along that he was up against the “immense popularity” of the president.  

More heavyweight would-be challengers were all sidelined, detained or pulled out. Opposition groups had called for a boycott of this week’s vote which they labelled a charade.  Even at 42 percent, turnout was down on the 47 percent in the 2014 election despite appeals from Prime Minister Sherif Ismail for voters to fulfil their patriotic duty.

Tyra Banks admits she got a nose job early in her career

Tyra Banks admits she got a nose job early in her career
Model and TV personality, Tyra Banks has admittd to getting a nose job early in her career.
She made this reveation in her new memoir "Perfect is Boring". The book, written by the America's Next Top Model host and her mum Carolyn London, revealed a lot about Tyra's personal and professional life and it's set to be released on April 3.

In the memoir, Banks shares details about the early days of her career and the decision she made during that time to get a nose job.
She tells People: "I had bones in my nose that were growing and itching. I could breathe fine, but I added cosmetic surgery. I admit it! Fake hair, and I did my nose."
Banks adds, "I feel I have a responsibility to tell the truth."
She adds: "Natural beauty is unfair. I get really uncomfortable when women who are these natural beauties judge anybody who does anything to themselves."
The businesswoman also encourages women to stop judging and do whatever makes them feel best.
She said: "Fix it or flaunt it — I think women should be able to do both. There is a boundary line, either you're super natural or you live at the plastic surgeon. It's okay to hop back and forth over that line. You want a hair weave? Fine. You want permanent eyebrows? Fine. We as women need to stop judging."

71 year old man cleared of murder case after spending 45 years in prison

71 year old man?cleared of murder case after spending 45 years in prison
Richard Phillips, a 71-year-old Detroit man has been released from prison after spending over 45 years in custody.  

Phillips had been wrongfully accused of being involved in a fatal shooting in 1971. A judge granted the prosecutor’s request to permanently drop the case against Phillips, whose conviction was erased last year.  

He had been free on bond since December. Wayne County prosecutor, Kym Worthy said a new investigation by her office backed his claim that he had no role in a 1971 fatal shooting. Worthy said a key witness lied at his 1972 trial.  “There’s nothing I can say to bring back 40 years of his life,” Worthy said. “The system failed him. This is a true exoneration.”  Phillips has spent more years behind bars than any wrongfully incarcerated person in the country, his lawyer Gabi Silver.  She describes Phillips an “incredibly warm, engaging person” who just wants to pick up the pieces and live a quiet life.  

Phillips told reporters that he has “never carried bitterness around, so I’m not a bitter man”, adding that one of his immediate goals was to reunite with his two children who were ages 2 and 4 when he went to prison in 1972.

Tiffany Haddish says she's banned from revealing who bit Beyonce (Video)

 Tiffany Haddish says she
The much talked Beyoncé biter scandal has finally been put to rest.
Comedienne Tiffany Hadish who revealed in a recent interview with GQ, that an actress bit Beyoncé on the face, has now disclosed why she will never let the world know the identity of the culprit.
The 38-year-old Girls Trip actress went live on Instagram and revealed she had signed a Nondisclosure Agreement preventing her from giving the name. 

In her words, she said: "Look, once you sign an NDA, see if you all would've asked me this, you know, back when I did the interview...like a month and a half ago before [I could've talked about who the biter is but], you know, NDAs are real, y’all. NDAs are real so I’m not saying shit about nothing."
She also urged fans to focus on the real news, saying who bit Beyonce is not the real news.
“People should be focusing on the real issues at hand, like did you do your taxes,” she said. “’Cause taxes is due real soon. Can your children, do they know how to read and write? Have you been working with on them their reading and their writing? Like, is your house clean? That’s what we need to be focusing on. But y’all wanna know...everybody going crazy about who bit Beyoncé.”
In the video, Tiffany also went ahead to joke that it was porn star Stormy Daniels who bit Beyonce.

DMX gets lighter sentence after his lawyer played his song in court to sway judge during sentencing

DMX gets lighter sentence after his lawyer played his song in court to sway judge during sentencing
Apparently, rapper DMX got a lighter sentence after a judge heard his rap song in court.
During the rapper's recent sentencing, his attorney played the judge "Slipping" an old rap song by DMX and it is believed this helped reduce his sentencing from a possible 5 years in jail to only 365 days.

DMX gets lighter sentence after his lawyer played his song in court to sway judge during sentencing

Below is how Boston 25 is reporting it:

"A judge heard a DMX rap song before adding his own lyrics to a court proceeding on Wednesday, ordering the rapper imprisoned for a year in a tax fraud case.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff took requests, accommodating DMX's desire to hear his autobiographical hit "Slippin'" before DMX faced the music over his admission of guilt. The judge called DMX's fraud a "brazen and blatant" crime that could not go unpunished.
The 47-year-old rapper, known to law enforcement and the courts as Earl Simmons, has been incarcerated since his bail was revoked in January. He sobbed during the proceeding as his lawyer Murray Richman recalled his nightmarish childhood...
His lawyer said DMX, who has appeared in movies such as "Last Hour" and "Romeo Must Die," has been a model prisoner. Still, prosecutors sought five years in prison for him, citing a lengthy rap sheet and drugs. But Richman said he wanted his client free to support his 15 children and pay back nearly $2.3 million in taxes that are part of a restitution order.
Another defense lawyer, Stacey Richman, called DMX "the American dream," saying he raised himself out of the ghetto with music that was so inspirational that a former Troy homeless woman called the lawyers to say that hearing one of his songs stopped her from killing herself. The woman now is married and raising a child, Stacey Richman said.
As "Slippin'" played in the packed courtroom, DMX nodded his head slightly to the beat while some of his supporters nodded more enthusiastically.
Murray Richman got choked up as he spoke of his client, saying he felt terrorized after listening to DMX describe his childhood to a probation officer for six hours.
"I've never seen a more horrific background in my life," he said, describing physical and psychological abuse that left DMX's teeth knocked out and led him to repeated encounters with the law at an early age.
The judge said that in the court's view DMX "is a good man."
"In many ways," the judge said, "he's his own worst enemy."

EFCC re-arraigns fraudsters for cloning mobile phone of ex-custom’s boss aide

EFCC re-arraigns fraudsters for cloning mobile phone of ex-custom?s boss aide
The EFCC has re-arraigned one Usman Baba Yusuf (a.k.a Usman Dakingari) and Balarabe Abdullahi for cloning the phone number of Abdulmumini Bako, a former Special Assistant to the former Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Abdullahi Dikko Inde.  

The defendants were arraigned before Justice D. Z. Senchi of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on a 4-count charge of impersonation and obtaining by false pretence to the tune of N2million. The re-arraignment followed the arrest of the 1st defendant (Yusuf), who had been on the run after the EFCC granted him administrative bail in 2016.

Yusuf was however, arrested on March 24, 2018 in Kaduna after he had been declared wanted by the EFCC, on the order of the court. The charge against them read, “That you, Usman Baba Yusuf (a.k.a Usman Dakingari) and Balarabe Abdullahi sometimes in June 2015 in Abuja within the judicial division of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory held out yourselves as Assistant Comptroller of Nigerian Customs Service and in that assumed position directed one Zakari Jibrin (a Comptroller of Nigerian Customs Service) to pay the sum of N1million to account number 0049663040 in the name of Balarabe Abdullahi domiciled in Access bank Nigeria plc.”  

Yusuf pleaded guilty and entered a plea bargain deal, while the second defendant (Abdullahi) pleaded not guilty to the charge.  The court admitted Abdullahi to bail in the sum of N1million and one surety in like sum, and ordered the remand of Yusuf in the EFCC custody pending sentencing.
