The 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

3. Dr Dre - $350 million: It's thanks mostly to his Beats by Dr. Dre
headphones. A year after selling 51% of the company to handset maker
HTC for $300 million in August 2011, Dre and his partners bought back
half of the half they sold in 2012—and their investment continues to
soar in value due to Beats' whopping 65% market share of the premium
($99 and up) headphone market.

4. Bryan "Birdman" Williams - $150 million: Riding from his Cash
Money/Young Money empire. His roster includes Drake, Nicki Minaj and
Lil Wayne (the latter crossed the $100 million threshold for the first
time this year, by our estimates, but remains just outside the top
five). Birdman also recently launched a YMCMB clothing line and a
spirit called GT Vodka.

5. 50 Cent - $125 million: The bulk of his fortune came from heavy
sales of his music, merchandise, video games and books in the wake of
his smash debut Get Rich or Die Tryin'- and particularly from his
payout for the sale of his stake in VitaminWater parent Glacéau to
Coca-Cola in 2007.

Culled for forbes.

Prostitute Who ‘Died’ During Sex Session Comes Back To Life In Coffin

A hooker in Zimbabwe 'died' during a hotel romp with a client - only
to come back to life as her body was being put in a coffin.

The prostitute reportedly collapsed during a sex session last week at
the Manor Hotel in Bulaweyo.
Convinced she was dead, her shocked client called the police - who
sent paramedics to collect the body.

But as they were loading the 'corpse' into a metal coffin, the hooker
suddenly woke up screaming.
Local news reports claim she leaped from the casket, yelling: "You
want to kill me, you want to kill me".

Terrified staff and guests at the hotel who had gathered to watch the
scene unfold, fled in panic.

A source told Bulaweyo24 News: "It was like a movie. People were
running away in different directions. It was a scary incident because
we were all convinced that she had died because she was just cold.
Miracles surely do happen."

The shaken hooker - known locally as MaNdlo - was escorted home by
another prostitute.

Pope Francis Washes Prisoners' Feet On Maundy Thursday

Pope Francis has washed and kissed the feet of 12 detainees in a youth
detention centre near Rome as part of the Maundy Thursday service.
The Christian ritual takes place on the Thursday before Easter to
commemorate Christ's Last Supper.


Thousands of pilgrims and tourists are arriving in Rome to attend
ceremonies during the holy week ahead of Easter.
In a homily, Pope Francis earlier urged priests to do less
"soul-searching" and engage more with parishioners.
"It is not in soul-searching… that we encounter the Lord," the Pope
told hundreds of cardinals, priests and bishops in St Peter's
Basilica.
"We need to go out… to the outskirts where there is suffering,
bloodshed, blindness that longs for sight and prisoners in thrall to
many evil masters."
Worshippers should "leave Mass looking as if they had heard good
news", he added.

Foot washing replicates the Bible's account of Jesus Christ's gesture
of humility towards his 12 apostles on the night before he was
crucified
During Thursday's intimate service, Pope Francis washed and kissed the
feet of 12 young detainees to replicate the Bible's account of Jesus
Christ's gesture of humility towards his 12 apostles on the night
before he was crucified.
The 12 prisoners included two girls, one Italian Catholic and one of
Serbian Muslim origin, local prison ombudsman Angiolo Marroni said
ahead of the ceremony.
Some of the prisoners volunteered to have their feet washed, while
others were given an invitation to help them overcome their
embarrassment, the Catholic News Agency quoted the prison chaplain as
saying.
In total, around 10 girls and 40 boys from different nationalities and
diverse religious confessions were taking part in Thursday's Mass at
Casal del Marmo on the outskirts of Rome.

Rick Ross under fire for date rape lyric

Rick Ross is under fire for a rap lyric that glamorizes Molly use
(popular recreational psychoactives, most commonly sold in the form of
"ecstasy" tablets) and date rape...

Rick Ross featured on rapper Rocko's new single 'You Don't Even Know
It', where he spits,
"Put molly all in her champagne/she aint even know it/I took her home
and I enjoyed that/she aint even know it."

Sandra Okagbue reacts to reports she's dating Mikel Obi...

This is to inform the general public that the current stories
foretelling a proposed wedding between I, Sandra Okagbue, and Mikel
Obi, is entirely incorrect.  There has never been such a proposal
between either of us let alone an agreement, or even a wedding date as
rumored.  "There is no truth in the reports that Mikel Obi and I are
getting married."

There have been too many false stories about me in the papers, and
several blogs. My name has been linked with several people whom I am
supposedly familiarly linked with. Some of these false reports even
went as far as claiming that my family house was bought by these
imaginary suitors. This is disheartening. I come from a reputable
royal family and, we are a hardworking people. We have achieved all we
have through faith in God and hard work.
I will like to implore the respectable ladies and gentlemen of the
press to please always officially verify whatever information they
would like to publish about me before publishing.
Thank you for your usual support.

North American University Student Killed In Lagos By Alleged Cultists

A 26-year-old student, Adeolu Otenaike, of the North American
University in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, has been murdered in Lagos.


Adeolu was allegedly killed by suspected cultists in Surulere area of
the state on March 20.

The victim, a 400 level student, was said to have visited Nigeria in
company with five classmates from the university on March 18.

They were said to have come to "wash" Otenaike's new car.

But their adventure ended in the killing of Otenaike.

It was gathered that Otenaike and his friends had earlier that day
visited the Arena Restaurant along Ikorodu Road and later drove to the
Empire Bar at Surulere, where a gang of cultists allegedly murdered
him.

According to Ladi Bada, one of Otenaike's friends who was with him the
night he was killed: "When we got to Empire Bar, Adeolu was accosted
by one Taiye, also known as Sogbe, a cultist.

"Two years ago, he had a quarrel with Adeolu.

"That was how Sogbe grabbed Adeolu while other cultists with Taiye –
Bayano, Kaka, Small bobo, Igimuand and others – beat Adeolu and his
friends mercilessly.

"The cultists robbed them of money and phones.

"One Alowonle, the chairman of the Tricycle Riders Association at the
Empire area, told Taiye and his members not to kill Adeolu at the spot
but that they should take him outside where he was shot both on the
head and neck.

"Chinedu, another of the victim, was seriously wounded but managed to escape.

"The incident happened at about 12 midnight and immediately someone
called the Divisional Police Officer at the Alakara Division and the
police recovered  expended bullets."

Tuface Did Not Invite Black Face To His Wedding.

Dubai even though Faze was spotted at the event.

Sen. David Mark denies buying the Chevy Corvette for 2face & Annie

The card on the car clearly says 'wedding gift from Senator David
Mark', but the senate president's senior adviser on media, Kola
Ologbondiyan, has released a statement denying it. Ologbondiya said:
Senator Mark did not visit Dubai for Tuface wedding rather he attended
the 128th Inter parliamentary Union (IPU) conference currently holding
in Quito, Ecuador. He was also not represented at Mr. Idibia's
wedding. It is also instructive to state that the President of the
Senate, Senator Mark, did not make a car donation of any kind to
Tuface before departing Nigeria for Ecuador neither did he purchase
nor send any car to Dubai as a wedding gift for the musician or his
wife. Who made the donation on behalf of the President of the Senate?
It is therefore a puerile lie for anybody to state that Senator Mark
bought a Ferrari car worth N47m for Tuface. The allegation is wicked,
ridiculous and irresponsible.
Signed: Kola Ologbondiyan
Special Adviser, Media & Publicity to the President of the Senate David Mark
The Chevy Corvette is worth about N7m and if the Senate president says
he didn't buy it, then we should give him the benefit of doubt. I
doubt a man of his caliber will buy a wedding gift and then publicly
deny buying it. I'm sure 2face Idibia's team will address this when
they get back from Dubai.

Wizkid to return to former music label, EME

If everything goes according to plan, Wizkid will soon be returning to
his former music label, EME Music Group, this is according to a
reliable industry source. The source revealed to me exclusively that
Wizkid and EME bosses have been going back and forth for the last
couple of weeks through their lawyers trying to agree on new terms of
them working together again.
"Wizkid leaving EME was just his way of pushing the bosses at the
label to take him seriously and increase his earning percentage. When
he joined EME he wasn't a star but then he became a mega star and was
making a lot of money for the label and they still didn't increase his
earning percentage so he took a walk. Now they are working on a new
contract that will favour Wizkid." The source said
I hear in the new contract being drafted, EME will not take a dime
from Wizkid's international deals. When they start working together
again.

Mikel Obi not marrying Sandra Okagbue after all...?

According to this week's City People, Mikel Obi and Sandra Uche
Okagbue's introduction will hold this Sunday March 31 in Onitsha, but
Mikel Obi has come out to deny it.
The Chelsea star told Kick Off sports reporter, Colin Udoh, that he's
just friends with Sandra
"I don't understand where this is coming from. I know her. We're
friends, but we haven't spoken in a long time and definitely not about
marriage."
Well, let's believe him. But I remember footballer Kalu Uche denying
dating beauty queen Stephanie Oforka back in 2011 when there were
reports that they were planning to marry. He granted an interview
saying he doesn't know her. Read it HERE. A few months later, they
were married. So with this, time will tell.

I Get Tired Of Hearing How Big My Head Is – Banky W

Banky W had some free time on Sunday, away from home and work, and
decided to spend it with fans on Twitter. Banky W got cozy with fans
answering all questions and replying to all mentions as much as he
could; mostly lauding him for a great work done on the still-selling
R&BW album.
What caught my eye however was the part where a fan asked Banky W; "Do
you ever get tired of hearing how handsome you are?"
I'm sure '@TheNubianQween was disappointed at Banky's response. She'd
be expecting something sweet, or just a 'thank you', but Banky W
replied with; "I get tired of hearing how big my head is."

I've heard folks say in the past that Banky wears a cap always because
he's got a big head. Come on guys!

we felt sorry for her and then later on, we heard gist about who was
supposedly sorry, we genuinely were concerned and hoped she pulls

It was initially reported that Tonto Dikeh's heart was broken by her
boyfriend – a certain musician called Capo – but Tonto Dikeh via her
twitter handle has responded to the rumours and here's what she has to
say:

But for what its worth, might I add that its no big deal to be
heartbroken as it won't make you any less of a person that you already
are.

This tweet is hidden now for most of you that might want to have a look.
