Kanye West officially becomes a Billionaire

Posted: 26 Apr 2020 03:30 AM PDT

Kanye West has officially become a Billionaire, making him the second American rapper to reach that status after Jay-Z.

According to Forbes, 'Ye's Yeezy brand, which he owns in its' entirety and falls under the Adidas umbrella, helped push him over the $1 billion mark.

The publication said they dissected the Chicago rapper's success with Yeezy, while also sharing how they tabulated Kanye's net worth.

Nonetheless, a decent portion of Kanye's net worth can be attributed to his royalty agreement with Adidas. West receives a "royalty around 15% of Yeezy revenue from Adidas. Upon closer inspection, it appears some expenses are carved out of that slice, bringing his actual cut closer to 11 percent. At that rate, he would have received royalties of over $140 million from Yeezy sales last year," the report says.


Kanye West's team provided a statement of the rapper's assets, which were listed as $17 million in cash, $35 million in stocks, $81 million in "buildings and improvements," $21 million in land, as well as his G.O.O.D. label and publishing rights, which is said to be worth at least $90 million. There were also a sizable deduction for $100 million worth of debts, which included mortgages and advances.

Forbes also noted that they gave Kanye's net worth a "50 percent haircut" due to the illiquidity of his assets and the "the lack of independent backup." The team also deducted $100 million for debts, which included mortgages and advances, putting Kanye's estimated net worth at $1.3 billion.

But Kanye reportedly disagreed with Forbes. "It's not a billion," he allegedly texted the reporters Thursday night. "It's $3.3 billion since no one at Forbes knows how to count."

Toyin Abraham – I started making money as an actress 4years ago

Posted: 26 Apr 2020 02:30 AM PDT

Nollywood actress and movie producer, says she started making money four years ago about 13 years after she began her acting career in 2003.

The award-winning movie star brought the revelation to light when she featured on "Your View", a TVC programme on Friday.

Speaking on the show, Abraham said she would not have been able to help people as she is presently doing during the COVID-19 lockdown, if it was five years ago. "If this (referring to the COVID-19 lockdown) had happened five years ago, I wouldn't have been able to give because I was not making money then. I just started making money three or four years ago," she said.

According to her, the novel disease has taken a huge toll on countries across the globe, adding that people are only thinking about survival now. "There is nothing that matters now except how to survive. After this coronavirus, if people don't change, then they have a problem. My car and that of my husband have been parked for days now, there's nothing like competition again," she added.

She went on to reveal measures being put in place to ensure that those who benefit from her giveaways online are people in need.
"Before I give people money, I check their social media accounts to know when they came into into existence," she said.

The 35-year-old actress also narrated how her marriage to Kolawole Ajeyemi, fellow movie star, and her motherhood experience have changed her life. "It (referring to motherhood) is a new experience and it's has really changed me. I can tell anybody now that I am a woman coupled with the fact that I married to a good man. My name now is mummy Ire. Motherhood has changed my life," she added.

Abraham made headlines recently after some reports suggested she was an ambassador for the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) on the coronavirus pandemic, after she had appeared in a video sensitising people on COVID-19.

Daniel Amokachi – I slept at T.B Joshua’s church’s altar for weeks, got no miracle

Posted: 26 Apr 2020 01:30 AM PDT

Former Super Eagles forward and Nigeria's soccer ambassador, Daniel Amokachi, has revealed that he slept at the altar of Prophet T.B Joshua's Synagogue Church of All Nations for weeks in search of miracle but to no avail.

Amokachi had flown back to the Lagos-based Synagogue Church of All Nations, while attempting to relaunch his career after suffering a protracted knee injury he sustained ahead of the 1998 FIFA World Cup.

"The Bull", as fondly called, told Brila FM on Friday that he was not healed even though he saw miracles at Synagogue.

According to the former Everton star, "I was at the church on invitation of a friend who is a member. My friend, at that time, told me about the man of God and that I could meet my miracle if I met with the Pastor.

"At first, I wasn't giving to it, but I later agreed and flew down to Nigeria from England to see the Pastor.

"I slept by the church's altar for several weeks to receive healing. I was not healed, but I saw lots of miracles that happened to people."

His football career more or less ended after he left Turkish aide Beşiktaş in 1999.

He failed medical test after signing with 1860 Munich and the contract was cancelled.

When we get back to our normal lives, I hope we don't go back to what we were doing before. I hope this teaches us to value family, our mental state and being close to God. It's only God that can take us out of this."
