Avoid the viral #silhouettechallenge as creepy videos on how to remove the red filter and expose people’s nudes surfaces online

Posted: 05 Feb 2021 07:00 AM PST

Women are being warned to avoid the viral silhouette challenge as more creepy videos showing how to remove the red filter and expose people's nude have surfaced online.

The viral challenge features a mashup of "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" by Paul Anka and "Streets" by Doja Cat. The first part of the video shows women in their original setting before the lighting changes to a dim red to shows women embracing their curves without their clothes on.

Hundreds of videos using the #silhouettechallenge have reportedly racked up over 231m views on TikTok.

However, several TikTok users have started warning people not to partake in the challenge after discovering creepy YouTube tutorials that help people remove the red filter.

Rolling Stone's culture writer, EJ Dickson took to Twitter to raise an alarm after watching tutorials on YouTube teaching people how to edit the videos.

He wrote: "Obviously not linking, but there are videos all over YouTube offering tutorials for how to 'remove' the red filter for TikTok's Silhouette Challenge, in which women dance nude or partially nude in silhouette.

"This is a huge consent violation and YouTube should remove them ASAP."

Danyelle Thomas , who runs the Unfit Christian blog also shared a warning for her followers about the challenge.

She wrote: "Men are currently removing the vin rouge red filter from the silhouette challenge. This is readily happening across social media with little community violation response by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, or TikTok.

"When reminded that this is gross, creepy, and non-consenting, men respond that women are always finding ways to make themselves victims and they shouldn't have been naked on the internet.

'Yes, the same men going through extraordinary lengths to be creepy are finger-wagging women about what they shouldn't put on the internet.

"Because of all of the things men lack — including ethics and boundaries — they're never short on audacity. This is when rape culture, misogyny, and patriarchal malarkey combine."

Dangote’s ex-girlfriend evicted from U.S. Apartment for owing six months’ rent

Posted: 05 Feb 2021 04:30 AM PST

Despite being a girlfriend of Aliko Dangote, Africa's richest man, Autumn Spikes got evicted from her North Miami apartment in Florida, U.S., after piling up unpaid rent for six months in 2020, PREMIUM TIMES has found out.

Ms Spikes and Mr Dangote dated secretly for nearly 10 years until recently when the business mogul broke up with her and subsequently sued her in a court in Florida for allegedly trying to extort $5million from him. But while the affair was going on fine most of last year, Ms Spikes was grappling with accumulated rent arrears of $13,230 for the months of March to August 2020, court documents obtained by PREMIUM TIMES have shown.

The landlord of the property, The Shoreline at SoleMia, 2301 Laguna Circle, North Miami, Florida, issued Ms Spikes with a 30-day 'Pay or Vacate' notice on August 5. Ms Spikes neither paid the debt nor vacated her apartment number 1708. After the expiration of the 30-day notice, the landlord, on September 19, 2020, filed an eviction suit against her at a Miami Dade County court, in Florida, the same court where Mr Dangote would later sue her in January.

PREMIUM TIMES on Thursday obtained the complaint, notice of debt, the lease and other documents filed as exhibits by Ms Spikes' landlord in the suit that is now closed. The landlord's complaint in the eviction suit reads in part, "Plaintiff owns or is the lessor of the real property, the premises: "The Shoreline at SoleMia, 2301 Laguna Circle Apt 1708, North Miami, FL 33181.

"Tenant retains possession of the premises under a written lease requiring rent of $2,215.00 per month to be paid the first of each month. "A copy of relevant portions of the lease is attached hereto and incorporated herein as plaintiff's Exhibit A. "Tenant failed to pay rent for March, April, May, June, July and August.

"Tenant owes plaintiff rent the months stated in paragraph 6 herein in the total sum of $13,230.00 "Plaintiff served tenant notice to pay or vacate the premises on August 5, 2020 as shown by copy or copies of the notice(s) attached here to and incorporated herein as plaintiff's Exhibit (s) B, but tenant refuses to do either.

"In accordance with Fla. Stat. (Florida Statutes) Section 83.60(2), if tenant fails to deposit the sum of $13,230.00 in the court registry, plus rent which accrued during the pendency of this action, then plaintiff is entitled to a default judgment for removal of tenant and to recover a judgment for rent due and owing costs in accordance with Fla. Stat. Sections 83.59 and 83.625.

"Failure of tenant to pay rent as due caused plaintiff to retain undersigned counsel and incur reasonable attorney's fees and costs, which tenant should pay pursuant to Flat. Stat. Sec 83.48 and the lease. "Wherefore, plaintiff demands judgment for possession of the premises, rent, due, court costs and attorney's fees against the defendant and other available remedies in accordance with Fla. Stat. Section 83.625 and for such other relief this court deems just and proper."

Ms Spikes serially unreachable

Ms Spikes' consistent absence from the apartment could be gleaned from the affidavits of failed service deposed to by court officers throughout the period the suit lasted.

The period of her accumulated rent and the court action coincided with the grim period of COVID-19 and attendant restrictions last year. All attempts to have Ms Spikes personally served with the documents issued at every stage of the suit failed. For instance, the court's process server made two failed attempts to serve Ms Spikes with the 'Residential Eviction Summons' and the landlord's complaint on Ms Spikes on September 23and 24.

In an affidavit of 'Return of Service', a process server said after the two attempted service, she had to "post by attaching the true copy" of the documents "to a conspicuous place of the property" close to Ms Spikes' residence.

As there was no response from Ms Spikes, the landlord on October 10, filed a motion for default judgment, a request for the court to deliver its verdict based on the plaintiff's claims alone. On October 21, the court delivered a default judgment in favour of the plaintiff.

The court, on October 24, issued a 'Writ of Possession' commanding the Sheriffs of the court "to remove all persons" from the apartment and restore possession of the apartment to the plaintiff "after 24 hours notice conspicuously pasted on the premises." But the Sheriffs said an attempt to serve Ms Spikes with the writ of possession failed.

Ms Spikes parks out

However, on October 30, 2020, the landlord's lawyer wrote the Sheriff Department applying for the cancellation of the writ of possession on the grounds that "tenant vacated." External view of the North Miami house

Ms Spikes did not file any response in the suit when the suit was declared closed by the court.

Between Spikes and Dangote

Mr Dangote is currently embroiled in a legal battle with Ms Spikes following a dispute over the monetary terms of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) demanded by Africa's wealthiest man after breaking up with her former girlfriend.

Mr Dangote filed the libel suit on January 20 about 19 days after Ms Spikes posted a video clip through a January 1 Instagram post showing her seated beside the Nigerian businessman with part of his buttocks revealed to viewers.

He alleged in his suit that Ms Spikes threatened to launch "an onslaught" of exposing his "family and private" and social media and media talk shows if he failed to pay her $5million.

Ms Spikes, in an Instagram post, denied issuing such threats even as she said she had rejected $15,000 and $2,500 "insultingly" offered her by Mr Dangote in exchange for an NDA over their affair.

PREMIUM TIMES reported that Mr Dangote, through his U.S based lawyers, recently applied to the Miami-Dade County court where he filed his libel suit, to issue a gag order against Ms Spikes.The court has tentatively fixed February 9 for the hearing of Mr Dangote's preliminary petition.

Posted: 05 Feb 2021 01:30 AM PST

Singer and former judge of reality show Nigerian Idol, Yinka Davies has lost her first child Jeremiah.

The 50-year-old revealed this in a Punch interview on Tuesday.

She said, "I lost my firstborn, my son. I have two boys but I lost my firstborn. He was 27 when he died, he would have been 28 years old on the 21st of February.
 
Davies said Jeremiah has been in and out of the hospital for 10 months.

"Autoimmune blood tissue disorder; I think that is the layman term for the cause of his death. He had been battling the illness for about 10 months. He was in and out of the hospital for about 10 months. He died on Friday," she said.

She also added that he was cared for by her sisters.

"For the family, it is still too much to process his death. We are all grieving in our own way because he is everybody's child. My sisters took care of him. During his last days, he refused to be admitted because he gets bored easily. He was a very active child and keeping him in one place would have been so tiresome. Let us just thank God for his life," Davies said.

Davies also broke the news with a picture of her son in an Instagram post on Tuesday.

"For those who held you in their hearts, those you waved at on your strolls, For those who cried the tears they couldn't hold back, Cos you are no more here.

"For those who washed you when you were weak, those who were scared to see you ill, For those who thought you madly stubborn cos you, Wouldn't take another pill," she wrote.


Celebrities including Shaffy Bello, Sammie Okposo, Nikki Laoye and Lilian Bach have condoled with her.

Comedian Buchi Reacts To Viral Video Of Wife Being Arrested

Posted: 05 Feb 2021 12:30 AM PST

Following a viral video that showed moments his wife was arrested by men of the Nigeria Police Force, Comedian Buchi has reacted.

It was reported that the comedian's wife, Rukky allegedly harassed the estate security personnel and vandalised items which she was charged N700,000 for by the estate.

However after she and her husband refused to pay the money, the estate management cut their power supply till they pay for the damages. An altercation which ensued at the estate chairman's house, led to the arrest of Rukky on charges of assault and vandalism.

However Buchi who reacted to the claim, described it as lies and further disclosed that the issue began after his younger brother fought the estate security who harassed his niece. He also alleged that after he informed the estate management that he will be suing them after being fined, his power supply was cut off.

Buchi said after his wife went to the estate chairman's house and demanded that the power supply be restored, residents of the association ganged up against his wife, and destroyed her vehicle.

He told Punch;

"I would not want to go into it but I will just want to say that all the allegations are lies. We had an altercation with the estate because one of the security men beat up my niece. My younger brother fought the guy and they fined us. I disagreed because we needed to go into the reason for the altercation; the security people harassed a tenant. They should not fine me because my younger brother defended my niece as I was not around when it happened. They fined us and I said that is not right.

"I initiated legal action and I informed the estate that I will take the matter to court. They said that since I was taking the estate to court, they will not provide power. I am not around and I had already told my wife not to make any trouble with them. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic courts are not sitting so we cannot institute any action. I have a ten-year-old daughter and the heat was getting unbearable for her so my wife went to demand that they should give restore the power, that was part of the video online, this led her to go to the estate association president's house.

"I think what really caused the problem was that she went to the estate association president's house and she said that she and her children were not going to leave until they restored the power. That was what caused everything. In the process of trying to eject her, they got into an altercation. My younger brother had to step in. The president cried foul to the members of the association and it turned to a mob and they started manhandling my wife. They went ahead to destroy her car. I have video evidence. I am asking, what did her car do to them? Currently, I am not around but I have been making calls. They took her to the police station but I was able to get her out last night. My wife never embarrassed me in public. She did not sleep at the police station. It was a gang up against my wife."
