Model/rapper LIV comes back to haunt Jay Z

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 09:49 AM PDT

Ever since the elevator beat down, the media has been constantly reporting about Jay Z's alleged cheating on Beyonce. Guess that's the only thing that makes sense to them since Beyonce just stood there while Solange battered him.

Anyway, last year struggling rapper/model LIV (pictured above) made headlines after she claimed Jay Z tried to hit on her. Well, LIV has finally gotten the attention she wanted. The rapper along with reality star Casey Cohen, Miss Belgium Claudia Sheelen & video model Shenell Scott were all linked to Jay Z in this weeks issue of Life & Style magazine.

Then LIV used her Instagram account to confirm that her part of the piece is 100% correct. Continue.


'I regret exposing my body earlier in my career' - Toyin Aimakhu

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 09:21 AM PDT

Actress Toyin Aimakhu-Johnson who recently signed her first endorsement deal, says she regrets exposing her body earlier in her career. Speaking with Encomium mag, the actress said changing her image and dress sense has changed her fortune...and partially blamed her old ways of dressing as the reason she didn't get any endorsement deals until now....
"I have learnt my lesson. People don't like those who expose their bodies in public. Celebrities can do it abroad but it is alien to our own culture. I was young and carefree and had nobody to caution me. It took my husband to enlighten me and make me see my mistakes. He helped me to realize I am a role model and have influence on my fans. I have realized these things now and it has helped me to have mature and quality fans who now show more interest in my personality and works. I now encourage other people. Ever since then, my fortune has changed. I now have quality jobs and offers. I want to model my life after Omotola and Joke Sylvia whom I see as my role model" she said

Tribute to an ardent LIB reader who passed away recently at age 25

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 04:10 AM PDT

Just heard about the death of an ardent LIB reader, 25 year old Claire-belle Udodirim Edozie who passed away on May 17th after a boat mishap.

Her friends say she was really into LIB, used to drop comments and introduced some of them to this blog. So sad she passed away at such an early age. And she was the only daughter of her mum.

Another LIB reader pays a tribute to late Claire-belle. See below...
Its been the longest three weeks of all our lives as the shock of your death still surprises us all. You inspired me to be better, to live a decent life and to always wait on the best. You were there through all the fights & laughs I shared with your brother. (my boyfriend)
I feel like I just owe it to you to let the world know you were a winner when on earth. Each day I want to talk about you to someone just so they can be inspired by the 25years you lived on earth making such a huge difference in the life of your family and everyone you met. If anyone is out there who has lost a daughter or sister at such a prime age should please write one or two comforting words so I can pass it along to her family. I know its God they need most now, but your comforting words matter too. ..


She was buried on May 29th. Rest in peace Claire-belle Udodirim Edozie...

Nigerian Lesbian plans to submit her own gay sex tape to prevent deportation

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 03:15 AM PDT

46 year old Nigerian lesbian, Aderonke Apata, who is currently seeking asylum in the UK over claims that she will be killed if deported to Nigeria, says she is ready to make a sex tape with her partner just to prove that she really is a lesbian after the UK Home Office said they doubt the authenticity of her claims of being gay.

Aderonke, pictured above with her lesbian partner, Happiness Agboro, has been in a running battle with the UK Home office for a while now. Despite sending them love letters from former girlfriends and supporting statements from friends that she's really gay, the Home Office is not convinced. Now she says she's ready to send them a very personal home video to back up her claims. Continue...


"I was asked to bring my supporting documents for my judicial review for the court to look at. What evidence do we have to compile apart from letters from people? I knew we had a home video of ourselves, so I thought why not just put it in? I cannot afford to go back to my county where I will be tortured, so if I have to prove it with a sexual video, then I have to do it. I feel so bad it's got to this stage. It's such a desperate and precarious situation to be in, very dangerous, because anything could happen to those pictures, those videos."Aderonke told UK's Independent newspaper
Aderonke says she fled Nigeria to the UK in 2004 after her then girlfriend was killed by homophobes in Nigeria...and fears she will also be killed if her asylum application is rejected.
