NIGERIA'S FIRST FEMALE RAPPER (SASHA P) BECOMES A MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER

Nigeria's first famous female rapper, Yetunde Alabi popularly known as Sasha P has urged youngsters to dream big and pursue their passion.

Sasha P was a guest inspirational speaker at the 2013 Teach Children to Save Summit held in Lagos. She told the youngsters in attendance that she became a rapper out of her deep passion and love for the art despite her studying law in the university.

Reminiscing on her past, she explained she loved US female rapper - Eve, rapped some of her songs, and was signing autographs like a superstar, but ten years later, she was performing on the same stage alongside the same Eve.

What more can we add to her words?

Simply know what you want to be, believe in yourself, and motivate yourself to continue untill you Succeed!!!

RIHANNA AND CRISTIANO RONALDO ARE LIKELY DATING NOW

Do you think Riri and CR7 make a sexy pair?

Last night in Portugal, Real Madrid soccer super star, Cristiano Ronaldo attended Rihanna's Diamond World Tour Concert, and the two stars hooked up backstage for some camera shots.

Afterwards, CR7 uploaded this photo on facebook. Rihanna reciprocated by posting on instagram
                                        "Ladies eat your hearts out #CristianoRonaldo
                                          came to get jiggy wit ya girl...."

Is this a revenge targeted at Chris Brown or, is CR7 and Riri falling in love?

MALE FAN SLAPS BEYONCE'S BUTT AT A CONCERT IN DENMARK

Irresistible Beyonce Knowles Carter's golden behind was smacked with five fingers by a dude attending a forum where she was performing one of her all time hit songs - 'irreplacable.'

Beyonce was so PISSSSED that she stopped dead her performance and told him "I'm gonna have you escorted out of here." It was obvious the fan lost his mind as he reached out to tap her butt on the stage.

What remains unclear to me is; if Beyonce followed through on her threat.

CHRIS BROWN RETURNS TO DATING EX-GIRLFRIEND AFTER DUMPING RI-RI.

It's no longer news Chris Brown has dumped Rihanna, but it's news that the singer cum rapper has returned to dating Karrueche Tran, who he dumped for ex-girlfriend Rihanna in October 2012.

Reports suggest that Chris and Karrueche are now living together. The pair have been spotted getting close in public recently, including at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas.

Although it is said Karrueche has kept her own apartment, she has moved most of her belonging to his Hollywood Hill apartment.

I think this is a disrespect to Rihanna's ego!
