Bold 5 Babes - Nollywood Trailer

Check Out Forbes Five: Hip-Hop's Wealthiest Artists 2013

1. Diddy - $580 million: The bulk of the Bad Boy Records founder’s wealth comes from non-musical ventures, namely his deal with Diageo’s Ciroc. The agreement entitles him to eight-figure annual payouts and a nine-figure windfall if the brand is ever sold—and Ciroc’s value has never been higher

2. Jay Z - $475 million: He’s still rolling in cash from megadeals like his $204 million Rocawear sale in 2007 and his $150 million pact with Live Nation the following year. He continues to hold stakes in Roc Nation, Carol’s Daughter, the Brooklyn Nets and, more significantly, the Barclays Center itself, while adding new partnerships with the likes of Duracell, Budweiser and Bacardi’s D’ussé Cognac

KANYE WEST NEW ALBUM TITLE ''I AM GOD''

Kanye West is known for making shocking and controversial headlines with the decisions he makes, but if this rumor is true and Kanye West goes through with it, this could take the cake for the most controversial thing he has done so far in his career.

According to BBC in an article about what Kanye West and Kim Kardashian might name their first born child, it was revealed that Kanye is contemplating naming his upcoming album I Am God.

Mixed emotions greet reports that Kanye West is considering calling his first child North. It’s a good joke, from a slightly unexpected source (neither the rapper nor his possibly even more famous partner, Kim Kardashian, are best known for their self-deprecating sallies, although the title Kanye is supposed to be contemplating for his new album, I Am God, is said to be “half tongue-in-cheek”).

FOR REAL: Actresses Now Pay To Get Movie Roles

Despite the huge success recorded by Nollywood in the last 20 years, the Nigerian motion picture industry, currently ranked second globally in terms of quantity production, keeps recording bizarre occurrences.

Gone are the days when sexual harassments or sex-for-roles are in vogue in the industry.

What reigns supreme these days among some crop of filmmakers is financial payment in exchange for movie roles, which in most cases does not come the way of the desperate up and coming actresses trapped in this new scam shamefully scripted by Nollywood insiders.

Why I'm Moved To Shoot Movie About Niger-Delta--Omotola

They call her Omosexy, she calls her fans and group of 'nations' as 'Osexynations'. Many refer her as the queen of Nollywood while others call her the 'trailblazer'.  To those in Nollywood, her appearance in any movie can single-handedly win an award for such film. When it comes to role interpretation, this talented screen goddess never fails to deliver.  Little wonder the name Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has never weaned since joining the make-believe industry over one and half decades ago.  Omotola is presently busy shooting a new movie produced by Tarila Thompson titled 'Up Creek'.

FIFA’s Coach Of The Year Award Was Fraud– Mourinho

Real Madrid’s Jose Mourinho has revealed why he did not attend the FIFA Ballon d’Or gala – because he was forewarned by some of those who voted for him as coach of the year that their votes turned up for other candidates instead.  “Am I sorry for not having gone to the gala? No. It was the right decision,” Mourinho told RTP television on Tuesday in excerpts from an interview.  “One, two or three people called me saying they had voted for me but the vote showed up as cast for somebody else. So, I decided not to go,” he said.

Mourinho and former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola eventually lost out in that category to another worthy recipient – Spain’s Vicente del Bosque at January’s gala.

Mourinho, who is not known for mincing words, would have stirred debates that will cast a huge integrity question mark on the prestigious awards but FIFA is unfazed as the world football governing body said in a statement: “Fifa confirms that the list of votes published on Fifa.com is accurate.”

I was very mischievous and was never tired of playing pranks. My parents and siblings are abroad now. I attended the popular A/Z International School owned by Princess Bola Jegede.
