    I seek permission before getting intimate with fans on stage – Kizz Daniel

    Afropop super star, Kizz Daniel has revealed he never gets intimate with fans on stage without their expressed permission.

    According to Vado D Great, he ensures before any fan is brought on stage, he inquires about the age and if she is interested to dance and be touched.

    Quite interestingly, he noted after asking all those, they never turn him down as they eagerly come on stage.

    He made these disclosure in a recent interview with Lenard and Angela Yee during “The Breakfast Club” morning show on Power 105.1 in New York, US.

    The “Buga” hit maker’s ‘Afroclassic World Tour 2022’ in the US has seen him give unusual yet pulsating performances as he was captured in series of viral videos grabbing female fans butt on stage at different times and venues while performing.

    With that development, one of the hosts during the interview expressed concerns about the act which could possibly result to him getting bashed.

    Renard asked: “You get pretty intimate on stage with women. Do you ever feel like you need to pull that back a little bit?”

    Responding, Kizz said: “Before I get intimate with any woman on stage, I always ask for their permission.

    “Before I bring them on stage, I always say you have to be 18 and above. You have to give me 5he permission to dance with you, to touch you. And if that’s okay, you could come on stage.

    “And then, yeah; they still wanna come.”

    Chichi thought Sheggz had meant it in a mean-spirited way and had a go at him.

    #BBNaija S7: Khalid, Daniella bond under duvet

    BBNaija Level 2 Housemates Khalid and Daniella seemed to find solace in one another amidst looming possible evictions.

    The two Housemates, who have got close over the past few days, hopped into one of the Level 2 beds and took a break from their spirited fellow Housemates.

    Khalid and Daniella disappeared under the covers and got comfortable, and all anyone could get a glimpse of was the top of each of their respective heads.

    The tender moment was interrupted by Kess who walked in after having taken his shower, wanting to get dressed.

    Ex-militant leader denies operating illegal crude oil camp

    A former Niger Delta militant leader Endurance Amagbein has dissociated himself from an allegation of operating an illegal crude oil mining camp in Igbomotoru, Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

    Amagbein, in a statement on Monday, said the denial became necessary because of some unfounded allegations making the rounds in the mainstream and on social media credited to the Joint Military Task Force, codenamed, Operation Delta Safe (OPDS).

    Amadein claimed that the JTF, allegedly acting in concert with a former paramount ruler of Igbomotoru community dethroned for alleged high-handedness, tagged him as the militant leader engaged in vandalism of crude oil pipelines.

    He said: “For the avoidance of doubt, I, Endurance Amagbein, wish to set the record straight and state unequivocally that I am a peaceful and law-abiding citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

    “I am not a militant leader and I also do not have any dealings or connections whatsoever with any illegal crude oil mining site howsoever described in any forest. The statement is false, malicious, mischievous and made in a desperate attempt to injure my reputation and to fit into a narrative.”

    Social media responsible for celebrities’ kidnap – Lizzy Gold

    Actress Elizabeth Onuwaje aka Lizzy Gold has blamed inaccurate information on social media for the recent upsurge in abduction of celebrities.

    She made this assertion following the recent kidnap of two of her senior colleagues Cynthia Okereke and Clemson Cornel in Enugu on Friday.

    Using herself as a good example, Lizzy explained wasn’t as affluent as the information on Wikipedia suggests about her.

    Lizzy included a screenshot of her supposed biography online which claimed she reportedly has a net worth of $400,000 (about N285 million); a report she has now refuted.
