  • Bill Cosby’s daughter defends him

    Bill Cosby’s daughter defends him

    Evin Cosby, Bill Cosby’s daughter took to her Facebook page to voice her opinion on the allegations her father is facing.

    “Love my mom,” she posted on Monday after her mother her Camille Cosby released a statement to defending Bill.

    Evin also made a strong statement on rape.

    “Rape is a serious allegation and it is supposed to be taken VERY seriously but so is falsely accusing someone.”

    “When someone rapes a person they go to prison. THAT should also happen to the person that has wrongfully accused an innocent victim. They are not ONLY destroying innocent people’s lives they are ALSO making it hard for the MEN and Women to find justice when they have been raped,” she wrote.

    She questioned the validity of the alleged victims’ recollections of the supposed incidents.

    “Drugged- you can remember the whole damn day but you were drugged? Just sayin. Memory- you can remember you looked at (allegedly) each other, people were starring allegedly remembering your home address allegedly the name you called him allegedly But you were allegedly drugged,” Evin said.

    Evin also took time to express gratitude for the support she and her family has received.

    “I would like to thank EVERYONE that has been sharing, voicing and putting their beautiful positive energy out there for me and my family. There will always be jealous, vengeful and crazy people out there to break anyone down. Every day we wake up and appreciate the love and support from everyone. There’s more positive in life then we think. It’s the BS that can be overwhelming. We keep fighting each day. The challenges in life can only make us stronger. The ones that are angry can’t live as easy as the ones that can love, RESPECT and not to find the easy way out by making FALSE accusations. It’s a shame how some people sit behind the computer waiting for bad things to happen to someone. Isn’t it easier to be happy? And to want the best for someone that has done such great things in life? It could be a friend, a family or a pet…. Just be HAPPY! It’s waaaaay easier. Thank you again!,” she posted.

    “Thank you Jill Scott and Faizon Love!! I would also like say THANK YOU for the all the other intelligent people that know what this is! We are standing strong! Xoxo- Evin”.

     

     

  • Beyonce, Jay Z sued by Hungarian singer

    Beyonce, Jay Z sued by Hungarian singer

    A lawsuit has been filed against BeyonceJay Z and Timbaland over the hit track “Drunk in Love,” New York Daily News reports.

    The plaintiff Hungarian performer, Monika Miczura also known as Mitsou, filed the suit on Friday, claiming the Grammy-nominated single illegally used her vocals. Mitsou is seeking unspecified damages and demands distribution of “Drunk in Love” cease.

    Mitsou claims that the a cappella first heard in the beginning of “Drunk in Love” was sampled from her 1995 song “Bajba, Bajba Pelem” and then digitally manipulated. According to the suit, these lifted vocals compromise 29 percent of the track.

    “Mitsou’s incredible voice is widely considered unique and ethereal, and since the 1990’s, she has been in high demand for countless international collaborations as a featured guest singer,” the lawsuit contends.

    Beyonce is no stranger to accusations of copyright infringement. In 2012, she was accused of plagiarizing the video for “Countdown” from a Belgian choreographer.

    Listen to “Bajba, Bajba Pelem” and “Drunk in Love” to compare similarities below.

  • Bill Cosby Scandal: Another woman speaks out

    Bill Cosby Scandal: Another woman speaks out

    The latest woman to share her experience with 77year old ace comedian, Bill Cosby is Kathie Lee Gifford.

    Gifford shared her private experience with the comedian on TodayShow.

    The TodayShow co-anchor claimed had tried to kiss her before.

    “I will admit, towards the very last times I saw him, he did try to kiss me. I said, ‘Bill, no, we’re friends,’ and he said, ‘OK, goodnight,’ and I said, ‘Goodnight.’ And I went to my room, and he went into his room.”

    “A lot of married men come onto single women… but once I said, ‘No, absolutely not,’ he respected it,” she later added.

    She made this statement while discussing Cosby’s wife’s Camille’s recent statement calling her husband “a kind man, a generous man, a funny man, and a wonderful husband, father and friend,” despite the numerous sexual assault allegations against him.

    Gifford explained her personal history with Cosby, serving as the opening act for the comedian for several years and traveling on the road with him. She said that he was capable of “great kindness,” and recalled how he would give her and her two backup dancers money to gamble.

    Though she is now looking back at her experience in a different light, specifically after reading supermodel Beverly Johnson’s recent Vanity Fair story alleging the comedian drugged her.

    Gifford remembered how Cosby would make cappuccino for her when Johnson claimed that Cosby drugged her with a cappuccino.

    “I do know that I got a chill [reading Johnson’s story], because every night when we’d come off stage and Bill would be going on-stage, he would have made cappuccinos for all three of us,” she said. “And I always thought it was such a kindness and it was so sweet, and now you see Beverly Johnson saying that he made her a cappuccino, and I just don’t want it to be true, but I’m not saying that the women are liars.”

    She stressed, “I’m just saying I never personally saw it with my own two eyes.”

    Camille Cosby broke her silence on Monday on the allegations against her husband of 50 years, calling him a victim.

    “There appears to be no vetting of my husband’s accusers before stories are published or aired,” she said. “An accusation is published, and immediately goes viral … None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim. But the question should be asked — who is the victim?”

    Allegations against the comedian date back to the 1960s, and several alleged victims — including model Janice Dickinson have told their stories

    Monalisa Chinda picks up the pieces again

    Heartbreak respects no one, and fair-complexioned Nollywood actress, Monalisa Chinda, has had her fair share of the evil. After her celebrated affair with ex-lover Lanre Nzeribe hit the rocks in April, the award winning actress recoiled into her shell to lick the wounds and nurse her heart back to vibrancy.

  • Ayiri Emani does it again

    A man who parts with more than N50 million just to put a smile on another man’s face cannot be anything but generous. That is the mould of Ayiri Emani, the Akulagba 1 of Warri. He is widely reputed as a big-hearted philanthropist whose lifestyle can also be extravagant. He has just demonstrated the extent of his wealth and generousity by splashing money on Big Brother Africa hotshot, Tayo Ferani.

    Following Ferani’s disappointing loss at the BBA Hotshot grand finale to a Tanzanian named Idris, not a few Nigerians felt for him over his loss of the $300,000 prize money. But Emani shocked millions of Ferani’s admirers by gifting a whopping sum of $350.000, which made him $50.000 richer than Idris.

    Emani, the CEO of 911 Entertainment, is regarded as one of the richest men in Africa and one of the most generous philantropists in the Niger Delta. The Warri-born oil mogul has a soft spot for Nigerian celebrities and does not hesitate to show it.

    In 2010, he splashed more than N20 million on Tuface’s wedding by singlehandedly sponsoring the wedding in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. He followed that up with a gift of Range Rover SUV to the couple. In 2013, he gave the ‘King of the Zanga’, Durella, a brand new Toyota Prado.

    And while the rumour of a dip in his finances made the rounds, he recently silenced rumour mongers by acquiring a customised Rolls Royce as birthday gift for his lovely wife.
