"I'm something different. So my new name is Love, aka Brother Love. I will not be answering to Puffy, Diddy, Puff Daddy, or any of my other monikers, but Love or Brother Love, okay?"

In a fresh interview with Punch, Venita said walking out of their union has been one of her toughest decisions to take

"One of the toughest decisions I have made was leaving my marriage. It became known to the public about seven months after I had moved out of my matrimonial home.

I am grateful that I had a great support system that really helped me through that period. Being a single mother is not easy, especially if ones work a lot. I had to multi-task to make sure I'm there for my kids.

I don't consider being in the limelight as a fulfilment. Fulfilment, for me, comes from within, which is when I am meeting personal goals and providing for my kids."she said

How will an OG win awards one year and because he don't win the awards the next year they say he's falling off? Why? For not doing what he already done? That's stupid. Niggas listen to that shit and kill themselves in the studio trying to prove what they already proved! Wake up!"

Tonto Dikeh suggests death sentence for rapists Baba Ijesha

Posted: 04 May 2021 05:12 AM PDT

Nollywood Actress and mother-of-one, Tonto Dikeh, has suggested that a death sentence is the most suitable judgement for a proven sex offender/rapist.

This is coming as she continues to conndemn the alleged inhuman act of her colleague, Baba Ijesha who was accused of raping a minor 7 years ago and attempted to defile her again few weeks back.

She told Saturday beats ;

"In Nigeria, cases of rape are fast assuming a threatening dimension that requires urgent intervention. Rape, like other forms of violence against women, is an infringement on women's rights, privacy, self-preservation and dignity. There is little or no policy or law that protect the victims as they are most times blamed, stigmatized and humiliated by society if it is brought to the public domain. This hinders victims from embracing a mindset of reporting such an inhumane crime to the appropriate authorities.

"I believe that any person found guilty of rape should be sentenced to death either by hanging, firing squad, lethal injection or electrocution. I would also recommend castration. Rape cases and sexual molestations have become the order of the day, and the victims are not getting enough justice. Most of these perpetrators still walk freely," she told Saturday Beats.
