DrakeDrake
After five months of hard work, Drake joined his fellow students at the commencement ceremony celebrating his graduation from high school. With diploma in hand, the Young Money rapper shared life lessons with his peers at Jarvis Collegiate Institute in Toronto.
“I still managed to fight this education system and tell myself that it wasn't for me,” said Drake, who dropped out of high school at 15.“I get why this institution is in place for each and every one of us.”
Drake worked with his teacher Kim Janzen over the summer to complete his studies. 
“What this is about today for all of you is the art of following through. That’s one of the most important life lessons that my uncle every taught me,” said the 26-year-old, whose uncle was in the audience. “I’m so proud of you because there are different ways to follow through, and tonight you followed through with a straight shot and for that, you should give yourself a round of applause.”
Despite his money and success, he still was missing something in his life. 
“I reached a point in my life where I realized there aren't material things that can give me the excitement that I’m looking for,” he shared. “There’s a void in my life that I need to fill and I need to sit and think long and hard what that was. It was the fact that I had left a gaping hole in my story of following through.”

Must Watch Video: Another Community Carries Out Jungle Justice!

Following the 4 unfortunate Uniport students that were lynched and murdered unjustly, Comedian Bovi Ugboma released this video today as a way of letting people know taking laws into their own hands is wrong and also to put a stop to jungle justice.

In his words;
We owe it to ourselves and society as individuals, groups and/or organisations to preach against the growing trend of jungle/mob justice. If we fold our arms and watch, thats akin to throwing stones into a market. One day, it might hit one of our own. This is a non-profit initiative. Please spread the message  
                                                                                              - Bovi
Please Watch and Pass around.

Interview: Beri Beri Singer, Dencia Talks Breast Enhancement, Collaboration with Sarkodie and More

The female singer had an exclusive interview with Bella Naija, read excerpt of interview below...

So Dencia, even though you’ve had just a few singles released and are still fresh in the industry, you’ve had a fair share of media attention. For instance, I read in the news that you had a physical fight with your friend, Liz Garvy at an event in Lagos sometime last year? Is this true and what led to it?
The whole media wahala came from a bitter ex friend who went around trying to lie and defame my character after everything I did for her. God will pay her 7D. Then came other little things here and there that I didn’t address or talk about because I am the type of person who stays focused, I don’t let cheap talks distract me, my eyes are on the price. Also I was the new kid on the block, the media was doing what they do best so I really wasn’t worried as I knew that came with what I signed up for.

Also, there have been speculations that you have undergone a breast enhancement surgery. Is this true?
I don’t want to talk about it.

I understand your inhibitions but your silence would only trigger more speculations and comments.
I don’t need people to concentrate on those things that aren’t important. Whatever they wanna say is OK. They can comment but I have decided that I’m not talking about irrelevant things. Whether I address it or not, people will talk so I’d rather not.

You are one of the few African artistes who had their Twitter accounts verified recently. What do you think made you earn this?
Twitter verifies people they think deserve verification and have worked hard somehow to earn the recognition. I was amazed at people’s reactions. 90% of them didn’t know me and still don’t know. They don’t know what I’ve done in the industry back in America that gave me the pass but honestly it wasn’t a big deal. I knew some how I’ll get verified from the first day I joined Twitter. I actually hoped it was sooner.

Nigerian Stowaway Found Dead in Arik Air’s Undercarriage

The dead body of a young Nigerian man was discovered Friday in the wheel well, the undercarriage compartment of an Arik Air aircraft, after it returned from a flight to New York, United States.
According to the airline’s officials, the deceased might have hidden himself in the wheel well for days and was crushed to death while the flight was airborne to the JF Kennedy Airport, New York, from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
It was revealed that the dead body was found during a check on the aircraft panel as it was being prepared for another flight and that the undercarriage compartment of the Airbus A340-500 is big enough to accommodate a person, besides the space for the tyres.
"He probably might have hidden himself there some days and died while the aircraft was on its way to New York. We found him when we were doing checks on the panel; the aircraft probably came back with him dead," the official said.

Stella Dimikikorkus recently interviewed the Actress on her controversial singles "Hi" and "Itz Ova" read below....

What prompted you into singing?
I love music and I wanted to do my own thing,to contribute my own music.

You got monstrous negative response to both singles. How did feel with all the attacks?
I listened to my songs over and over again and I told myself I  did well. In all I see only the positivity in it, I made History. Peoples opinion of how my music was has further strengthened my belief that dreams die when you let the next mans opinion get to you and I am using now to pass a message to everyone out there,if you can just do it. Don't let anyone's opinion kill whatever dream you have or try to stop you from taking the next step.

You tweeted that you were not giving up. Does that mean you will become actively involved in music?
I love my acting career and I don't see myself jumping into full time music. I am however shooting the musical video of my songs,I will not let the hating stop me.

Did Kanye Propose to Kim Kardashian With a “10 Carat” Diamond Ring?

Kim Kardashian Engagedkim kardashian kanye west engaged
This is how Hollywoodlife is reporting it...
Kim was spotted shopping at Christian Louboutin on Oct. 24, wearing a HUGE diamond ring on her pinky finger — a gift allegedly given to her for her 32nd birthday on Oct. 21! 
Kanye reportedly proposed to the reality star over the weekend, but since Kim is not divorced from Kris yet, and can’t legally get engaged, Kanye allegedly told Kim to wear the ring on her pinky finger until her divorce is finalized. 
Once her divorce is finalized, Kanye will reportedly resize the ring to fit her correct finger. An earlier report suggests that Kim and Kanye are planning a $20 million wedding that will include three dresses for Kim, a performance by Celine Dion or Beyonce, and a wedding planner that will cost $500,000!

Hmmmm, $20 million wedding, a performance by Celine Dion or Beyonce? What do you think about this news whether true or false.... do you think its too early for a wedding?
