Denrele Edun recollect memories of how he and his mother were assaulted by his cousins on his 20th birthday

Posted: 29 May 2021 01:00 AM PDT

Media Personality Denrele Edun took to his Instagram to recollect a striking story on his twentieth birthday.

According to Denrele, his mother and himself were assaulted by his cousins who were females, partly because his mother wasn't a Nigerian.

Here's what he wrote;

"20 YEARS AGO!
My 20th Birthday.
Less than 20 Days to my 40th Birthday, come June 13th.
Gemini SZN taking over!

This wonderful 20th Birthday of mine fell on an Environmental Sanitation day and as usual, we had to wake up at 5a.m to start cleaning out the entire Surroundings.
Since our Family House was located at the corner piece of Faneye Junction in Ebute Metta, it meant cleaning out the entire Stretch of "Gutter" that spiraled from the back of the house through to the next building.
And that job fell on the shoulders of the only male in the house: ME!


In the process of cleaning out the Gutters, I heard raised voices emanating from the house.

"Witch! Bastard! Go back to your country, you poor foreigner with your children. Wretched Oyinbo!".

I already knew my female Cousins were at war with my Mother but trusting my MFM Prayer Warrior of a Mum, she was one to never back down!

"Not on my Birthday. Please GOD! Can I even survive this day in peace and tranquility?". I thought to myself.

Next thing, my cousins waltzed out of the house still screaming expletives at my Mum, one slapped my lil sister on the face cos she was in her way and then they came up to me.
5 girls in total.

They started taunting me especially insulting my Dad's 1986 Honda Accord parked in the compound.

"Kalo Kalo Car! Poor dirty Indian! Wretched idiot! Oyiboyi (that was the name they used to call my Mum)!"

"You guys stop! Please! Abeg!"

As if on cue, they pulled up to me face to face in a semi circle. Head on, they started screaming outside the house,

"Stop what?"
Next thing, the five of them started flogging me. And I mean, with proper masquerade whips…. the ones with branches jutting out!

I was Angry. Frustrated. Pained.
And I felt like a Coward at that point because I couldn't fight back. I just stood there willingly as two of them began to push me around.
When they had their fill, they all moved to the house saying they would extend the same treatment to my Mother and Sisters as we weren't welcome in the Family House.

That moment I made up my mind;
NOBODY was ever gonna kill my HAPPINESS again!

I'm Still A Story waiting to be told!"

A woman has reacted after comedian Alibaba blasted and blocked her for accusing him of openly flirting with women on social media.

The woman with Instagram handle, known as 'theuniversalmoving' had left a comment on Alibaba's wife's Instagram account.

She told Alibaba's wife, Mary Akpobome: "The way Alibaba jokes and frolics with women on his page, will he allow you flirt and frolic with men on your page as well? Whatever is good for the goose…. Does Steve Harvey joke and openly flirting with women on his IG page? No way… Trust me… There are areas that should be off limits."

Alibaba saw the woman's comment and posted a screenshot on his Instagram page to blast her.

He shared photos he took with other women in the entertainment industry and pointed out that these are things artistes have to do but some people do not have the "maturity " to understand that due to the "capacity of  their exposure and education".


He went on to call the woman a "fool" and asked what she hoped to achieve by going to report to his wife.

The woman responded with her "defense to his foolish comments".

She left a post on LIB's Instagram account, saying that there's a difference between taking professional photos with women and flirting with them. She said Alibaba posted the professional photos he took with women "just to make him look like a saint in his half baked rebuttal."

She accused him of flirting with women, "romantically holding them very closely", and "calling them sugar mummy and sweet names".

She said those are different from professional photos and that is where he should draw the line.
 
She went on to say that most married men in the entertainment industry who openly flirt with women will not take half of it from their wives.

Akon’s Range Rover Stolen While He Pumped Gas In Atlanta

Posted: 28 May 2021 04:30 AM PDT

Akon, popular Senegalese-American singer, had his SUV stolen while he was fueling up the vehicle at a gas station in Atlanta Tuesday night, according to police reports.

"It only takes a second for someone to jump in your vehicle and take off," reps for the Atlanta Police Department told their local Fox outlet of the high-profile theft, which occurred just after midnight at the QuikTrip facility in Buckhead.
 
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Akon stopped at a Quiktrip gas station to fill his white Range Rover up with gas. He left the car running with the keys inside the vehicle, so he could fill up the gas tank. Before he was done, however, he noticed someone taking off with his car, which held valuables, including a $25,000 diamond necklace, a Louis Vuitton bag and his iPhone.

Akon called police, who arrived at the gas station at 11:59 p.m. He told authorities that a dark-colored sedan followed his SUV when it made a right onto Sidney Marcus Boulevard. Surveillance footage of the theft confirmed his account.

A police report stated that the video showed the sedan as it pulled into the station right next to Akon's SUV.

"Shortly after, you can see the suspect get out of the passenger seat of what looks to be a black, four-door BMW sedan, get into the driver's seat of the victim's vehicle and drive off with the black BMW following right behind," the report read.

Since his phone was left in the vehicle when it was stolen, Akon reportedly used the FindMyPhone app to track his phone and find his car. He was first led to Lawton Street in southwest Atlanta, but when police went to that location, they were unable to find it. The second time around, after the app determined the vehicle was in Forest Park, it was recovered by the Forest Park GA Police Department and returned to Akon on Tuesday morning (May 25).

No arrests have been made in connection with the theft of his car.

John Cena Apologises To China For Calling Taiwan A ‘Country’ During Recent Interview

Posted: 28 May 2021 01:00 AM PDT

John Cena has apologised to China for referring to Taiwan as 'a country' during a recent interview with a Taiwanese broadcaster, which generated a backlash among fans in China, Hollywood's most important international market.

The controversy erupted after Cena who plays the brother of Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto in the ninth edition of the popular "Fast & Furious" franchise gave an interview to Taiwanese broadcaster TVBS promoting the film.

While promoting the upcoming Fast & Furious 9 film, the former WWE Superstar told TVBS in Mandarin that: "Taiwan is the first country that can watch F9."

Taiwan is a self-governed democratic island, but China claims it as its sovereign territory despite the two sides being ruled separately since the end of a civil war over 70 years ago.

China angrily frowns at any suggestion of Taiwan's independence and tries to punish whoever insinuated such by using their huge economic power to control speech on the topic around the world.

In 2018, the Chinese government demanded that American Airlines (AAL), Delta (DAL) and United (UAL) change the way they referred to Taiwan or risk sanctions in China, one of the world's biggest markets for air travel.

Following the outrage in China after Cena's interview, on Tuesday, May 25, Cena offered an apology on Weibo, China's popular social media platform.

Speaking again in Mandarin, Cena did not refer to Taiwan by name but said that he "did a lot of interviews" and "made a mistake."

"I'm sorry for my mistake," Cena said. "I must say now, [it's] very, very, very, very important [that] I love, and respect even more, China and the Chinese people."

China is the world's second biggest economy and the world's biggest box office.

The "Fast & Furious" franchise has received great success in China and the new F9 made nearly $136 million in China last weekend, making it the biggest opening for a Hollywood film during the pandemic.

Cena also has many fans in China, with more than 600,000 followers on Weibo and has been studying Chinese for years.
