Ray J Lies Through His Teeth To New York Radio Station Hot 97, That "I Hit It First" Is Not About Kim Kardashian. *rme* Dude, Get Wid It! (See Photos & Videos + Check Out 5 Hilarious Scenes Expected To Be In The Clip)


Ray J's controversial single, "I Hit It First", dropped three days ago, and there's no doubt that people will be talking about this stunt for a while. Although he is now denying it, it's clear who Ray J is taking shots at right from those first lines. The singer caught the Internet's attention with the single's album cover, which is a pixelated image of Kim Kardashian.

In a phone-in conversation with New York radio station Hot 97, Ray J denied that “I Hit It First” was about his ex Kim Kardashian and their now infamous sex tape. According to him:

“It’s a song, it’s not about that, it’s about a concept. People going way too deep…They just gotta keep it on the surface. I’m not trying to create no war, it’s all love; we’re doing music.”
Oh yeah Ray J? See part of the lyrics below and make up your minds whether Ray J is lying or not.
She might move on to rappers and ballplayers
But we all know I hit it first
I had her head going North and her ass going South
But now baby chose to go West
No matter where she goes or who she knows
She still belongs in my bed

Liar Liar Pants On Fire! I mean, it's that literal! Such bitterness! Dude is just so hung up on Kim! Watch the videos of his denial and the initial discovery of the disrespectful single below. You can also listen to it here

NSCDC Arrest Driver Who Allegedly Raped 15-Year-Old Girl And Blamed His EVIL Act On The Devil


The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have arrested a driver, Olusegun Ajayi, for allegedly raping a 15-year-old housemaid in Arepo, Ogun State.
The NSCDC authorities said the suspect had canal knowledge of the girl which caused her to bleed for two days.
Ajayi who claimed to be a devout Christian said his act was not rape since the victim consented. He said:
“On Saturday night, I was returning from a party and was about to enter my house when I saw the girl sitting outside. I asked her what she was doing outside late at night but she said she was working in a house not far away from my workplace and was sent to buy sweets by her employer.
She said she was locked outside and that she had been knocking for hours but no one came to open the door for her. I then told her to follow me to an uncompleted building on the street. On getting to the building, we saw a mattress there which had been left behind by labourers. I asked her if she could sleep alone there but she said no.
So, I went back to my house to get a wrapper and a pillow. Although my wife was not at home, my mother-in-law was around. So, I left her with my children and told her I would not be coming back that night.”
Ajayi, who claimed to be a father of three, said on returning to where the victim was, he laid beside her and began to caress her.
He said the victim did not resist his attempt but requested for money before she would allow him to sleep with her.
“I don’t know what came over me but I found myself touching her and she did not resist. Rather, she said I should pay her N10, 000 for sex and I promised to give it to her the following day. However, a few minutes into the sex, she started bleeding profusely which scared me,” he said.
The indigene of Lagos State said he went back home to get drugs as well as toiletries which he would use to stop the bleeding.
He said when it was daybreak, he set out for work but was summoned back home after which the employees of the victim accused him of rape. He added:
“I was on my way to Iporni in Lagos when my wife called me that people were asking of me at home. When I returned home, residents just started beating me before handing me over to the civil defence.”
In a desperate plea to the civil defence authorities, the suspect said he did not know that the victim was a minor. He added that his predicament was the handiwork of the devil…
“I have three children, including a daughter. I would never have touched that girl if I knew she was 15. I am a devout Christian and I am a responsible man. The devil preyed on my weakness and I promise never to do such again.”
A source at the NSCDC, who craved anonymity, said the victim was taken to hospital and that the bleeding had stopped.
She however added that investigations were ongoing and that medical report would determine what happened.
“We believe that the victim was not only raped but the suspect must have done something to her because she lost so much blood. Once the medical report is out, we will know the next line of action,” she said.


Good job NSCDC, your oga at the top will be pleased. And as for this MONSTER driver, I hope he rots in jail!!!






German-Born Mariam, Sporting A Full Beard, Is Now Searching For A Partner To Love Her For Who She Is After Growing Fed Up Of Laborious Tweezing; Cowards Also Tell Her That She Needs To Be Sent To Russia...Or Shot.


A mother who began sprouting thick facial hair after the birth of her son 28 years ago says she's feeling sexier and more confident than ever before, having finally stopped trying to get rid of her beard.

The German-born woman, identified only as Mariam, appeared on ITV's This Morning to discuss why she stopped tweezing the hair on her face which she had been plucking every day for almost two decades.

Mariam, 49, also explained to Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield that she is happy with the way she looks and would not change her situation, despite being criticised for her behaviour by her own mother.

She also said she is able to look past the comments of internet trolls who target her bearded woman blog to tell her 'people like me should be sent to Russia... or shot'.

Mariam - who has had tests to rule out serious medical problems more associated with excessive hair growth in women - told Phil and Holly, along with expert Dr Carol Cooper, that she had never had any facial hair before the birth of her son, after which it gradually began growing.

Ten years on, the hair was growing thick enough for a full beard, and Mariam would laboriously tweeze out each hair every morning.

'I asked my mother what to do and she told me to tweeze them, never to shave or wax. And then I visited my gynaecologist who said it happened to lots of other women so I shouldn't worry. But they didn't really give me a reason. Now I know it must be inherited. My chin got really red and inflamed from all the plucking, and some of the hairs were ingrown, so it always looked like I'd fallen on my chin. But when people asked what had happened and I told them they couldn't believe it.'

In 2008, when she was living alone and unemployed, Mariam decided to give her beard a chance to grow. She said: 

'I had no job so I had free time to give it a chance and see what happened, so I started a blog to inform other women about it, and to see what was happening every day and how I felt'.

Mariam explained to Holly and Phil that prior to her 'experiment' plucking her beard had become an obsession, and that her son, who has not been named, used to remember it taking her hours to leave the house. She added: 

'I thought about it all the time. I had to double check before leaving the house that it was OK, and take a mirror in my pocket. That was life. When I decided to let it grow it didn't feel brave, it was more like a curiosity. I wanted to see what would happen to me. There was a big fear that everyone would turn away and nobody would talk to me anymore.'

And Mariam did meet some resistance - from her family.

'My mum said "do you have to shock people like this". Then she got used to it and thought that one day I'd finish it, and was patient, but now she's getting nervous and wants me to stop and become "normal".'

She received negative reactions from other people, too, especially on the internet: 

'People can be cruel depending on where you go. Some people say people like me should be sent to Russia or shot, but that's just one person on the internet writing horrible stuff. Other people say it's courageous and inspiring. So there are both sides.'

Mariam now travels with a circus as the bearded lady act, which she says she enjoys since she has studied acting in the past and also likes educating people about the issue. Click here to continue reading and to watch the video of Mariam's interview.

Gangnam Style South Korean Rapper, Psy, Announces Release Of New Single, 'Gentleman', That Will Feature Dance To Rival Its YouTube Megahit Predecessor. Hmmm...Bring It On!


South Korean rapper Psy plans to follow his Gangnam Style YouTube megahit with a single called 'Gentleman' and a new dance, but is playing coy about everything else ahead of the song's release, which was moved up a day to April 12.

The song will be available for Korean fans then, but Psy will perform it in public for the first time at an April 13 concert.

"The new song is extremely fun and ... what I can tell you is the song title is 'Gentleman'", Psy told local television late on Monday.

"I can't tell you about the dance but all Koreans know this dance - but (those in) other countries haven't seen it", Psy added, hinting at a takeoff on a traditional dance.

The music video for "Gangnam Style", which featured the chubby Psy doing what has become his trademark 'invisible horse' dance in a succession of garish jackets, is now YouTube's most-watched clip, and has made the 35-year-old a global celebrity.

Both the singer and his manager said plans remained fluid.


"There is still more than a week left before the concert so we can't say (the title) will be unchanged," manager Hwang Kyu-wan told Reuters.

Psy has told his fans to turn up sporting white clothes at the upcoming concert, and posed in a variety of white garb himself, including a spacesuit and a bridal gown.
But the singer also said that stardom has taken a toll. In late March he tweeted a photo of himself covering his face at a recording studio, calling it the "pain of creation".

Margaret Thatcher's Death Celebrations On The Streets Of Brixton, Bristol, Liverpool, Derry & Glasgow, Erupt In Violence, Leaving 6 Officers Wounded; More "Death Parties" Planned For Funeral Date Of Next Wednesday.


Hundreds of people gathered in South London, Bristol, Liverpool, Derry and Glasgow, on Monday and Tuesday evenings, respectively, to celebrate Margaret Thatcher’s death with cans of beer, pints of milk and an impromptu street disco playing the soundtrack to her years in power. Some even popped champagne.

Young and old descended on Brixton, a suburb which weathered two outbreaks of rioting during the Thatcher years. Many expressed jubilation that the leader they loved to hate was no more; others spoke of frustration that her legacy lived on.
To cheers of “Maggie Maggie Maggie, dead dead dead”, posters of Thatcher were held aloft as reggae basslines pounded. 
Clive Barger, a 62-year-old adult education tutor, said he had turned out to mark the passing of “one of the vilest abominations of social and economic history”. He said:
“It is a moment to remember. She embodied everything that was so elitist in terms of repressing people who had nothing. She presided over a class war.”
Builder Phil Lewis, 47, a veteran of the 1990 poll tax riots, said he had turned out to recall the political struggles the Thatcher years had embroiled him in…
“She ripped the arsehole out of this country and we are still suffering the consequences.”
Not all those attending were old enough to remember Thatcher’s time in power. Jed Miller, 21, clutching a bottle of cider, said:
“She was a bit before my time, but family never had anything good to say about her.”
Not all were there to celebrate. Student Ray Thornton, 28, said he was there to commemorate “victims” of Thatcherism. He said:
“It is a solemn day. It is important to remember that Thatcherism isn’t dead and it is important that people get out on the street and not allow the government to whitewash what she did.”

Gosh...I know this is meant to be serious n' all...but why can't I keep a straight face? I'm trying to...honest, I am. I certainly would not wish anyone dead, talk less of popping champagne and celebrating; however, I'll admit that this is hilarious! Our 'iron lady' doesn't deserve this. These people are so cruel mehn! *wipes tears from eyes*  I'm laughing so much, I can hardly type again. Click here and here to continue reading. RIP Baroness Thatcher.

The world’s number one music singing talent reality TV show, “The X Factor”, has berthed in Africa for the first time on the shores of Nigeria, courtesy of the leading telecommunications company, Globacom. The show was unveiled on Wednesday night at the GET Arena, Lekki, Lagos, confirming Globacom as the leading force that connects the youths to their entertainment passion. 

The ultimate winner of the spectacular show will cart home a princely sum of $150,000 (N24million), the biggest purse among current reality TV shows. He will also win a recording contract with the internationally acclaimed Sony Music for the recording of an album and professional management of the winning individual or group.

According to the company’s Head, Reality Shows, Sulyman Bello, Glo is proud to be the catalyst that brought about this development and the attendant buzz cum excitement it will generate across the continent. “Africa has been yearning for a programme of this optimum quality and we are privileged to have made it possible,” an ecstatic Bello said. He added that Glo needed to do something special to signpost the special year of its 10th anniversary, hence the gift of “The X Factor” to entertain and delight its teeming subscribers across sub-Saharan Africa and the larger public. 

“This year marks the 10th anniversary of our operations and this programme is, in part, our modest way of thanking our subscribers for their loyalty and patronage,” he said. 

Commenting on the ultimate prize of $150,000 to the winner, Bello said that this is in sync with the profile of the show. “The unprecedented top prize is a reflection of the premium status of the programme; this is in addition to the coveted Sony Music contract with the attendant post-season super star status for the winner and international stardom”, he added, which is not provided by any other music talent show in the country today. 

The X Factor, a Syco-owned format (Syco is owned by Simon Cowell btw :D) , is produced and distributed worldwide by FremantleMedia. Speaking about the show’s upcoming debut in Nigeria, Jamie Lynn, EVP Sales & Distribution, EMEA at FremantleMedia said: “The X Factor is one of the leading entertainment shows of this generation and we’re absolutely delighted to be working with Glo to bring Nigeria its own version. The blockbuster show has enjoyed immense success all over the world and we have no doubt it will make the same impact in Nigeria as it has had around the globe.”

“The X Factor” is a Reality TV singing competition to find new talents. It is contested by aspiring singers, drawn from public auditions and is open to all ages, sex, styles, solo acts or groups.  A major difference between the show and others is that the judges also double as coaches for the various groups. It is peculiarly split in stages, following the contestants from auditions through to the boot camp, the judges’ homes; to the grand finale. Dancers are also featured and contestants could accompany themselves on guitar, piano or any other musical instruments.

“The X Factor” has been successfully launched in major countries including UK, the United States, Albania, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany and Spain. Here in Africa, the month-long pre-auditions, which are the first stage, will kick off in Abuja on April 13 and later hold in Port Harcourt and Lagos. It will also run in Accra and Kumasi in Ghana.

Also commenting on the development, Nigeria’s Afro-calypso king, Lagbaja, said that the introduction of the programme is a historic event which underscores Glo’s profile as the biggest supporter of quality entertainment packages. “Coming on the heels of the immensely popular Lafftafest, Glo Naija Sings, G-Bam show, Campus Storm and the Big Friday Show, this is yet another proof of the company’s consistency in thrilling the youths”, he said. 

The other stages of the competition include the auditions, in front of an audience; the evictions; the judge’s day and the grand finale. Bello noted that X- Factor has consistently ranked No 1 entertainment programme across the world, especially among the young adults. “With X – Factor, the entertainment scene in Nigeria will never be the same again”, he said.
