Standard Hotel management yesterday announced that they have discovered the staff who sold Jay Z and Solange’s elevator fight toTMZand the staff has since been sacked. According to them the staff was sacked for “breaching the security polices of the hotel and recording the confidential CCTV video” which was against the hotel rules. Hmmm nice decision by the hotel management, but then one would want to ask if the guy really needs the job with the huge some of$250,000 in his possession.

Dance Hall reggae act,Chinagorom Onuoha, the one we all know asAfrican China, is not happy with his fellow artistes and has tongue lashed them, calling them hypocrites and pretenders in the campaign to force the Federal Government to effect the rescue of the abducted Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, by the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents. According to the singer whose conscious music like Crisis, Mr. President and Our Government Bad, made serious waves in the late 90s to the early 2000s, he had called up some of his colleagues to feature in his new song, Boko Haram, with the aim of making it a collaboration of various Nigerian artistes but his colleagues turned him down during the production. Hear him: I was happy when I approached some of the artistes, but along the line, they turned it down saying that they couldn’t do the song and as such, I had to do the song all alone. He therefore wonders why those same colleagues of his would now turn around to copy what foreign c...

A rural North Carolina that was horrified last year when an 11-year-old girl was raped and murdered in her own bed has been shocked again - this time after a neighbor boy, age just 14, was arrested and charged with the crime. McKenzie Mae Sessoms, a fifth grader from Clinton, North Carolina, was found suffocated with a pillow last September 6 - the morning after her brothers threw a 'rowdy gathering' at the family home. On Wednesday, police announced the arrest of a young teenage boy, who is charged with first-degree rape and murder. Officials did not release his name, but family and neighbors identified him as Antonio Trey Jones. At the time of the murder, Jones was living with his grandfather Howard Jones in a house off a dirt road - just feet from McKenzie's home, Mr Jones told WTVD-TV. 'If he done it, I'm glad they got him. That's all I can say,' Mr Jones said. An autopsy report says that McKenzie was found wedged against the pillow that was used to suff...
