@Dearfashionn Accidentally Texts Nude Pic to Dad, He Shows Up At Her House [Photos + Video]

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 08:04 PM PDT


A girl accidentally sent a nude picture of herself to her dad and he of course, was mad as hell! He tried calling her but then she wouldn't pick. So he came over to her house the next day to knock some sense into her head.

And what do we know, @dearfashionn - real name Nyjah - decided to share what happened next with her social media followers on Twitter and Instagram.

As you may guess, the online drama has gone viral. Check out the details below


It started with;



4,190 retweets later and thousands more new followers, she decide to ride the trending wave. She shared a screenshot of the original message as well as her dad's initial reaction.





He kept his word, and she captured their confrontation on video. Watch below.

Beyonce's Sister Solange Was Once Close To Their Dad's New Baby Mama [Photos]

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 07:23 PM PDT

Matthew Knowles, dad to Beyonce and Solange with ex-wife Tina Knowles, is currently being sued for paternity by yet another woman –  a 30-year-old woman named TaQoya Branscomb in Texas [read here].

Since going public with her suit, all the blogs have been digging to find out everything they can about TaQoya. We know she was once a lingerie model and now she's a real estate agent. Now we find out she once knew Solange?

First, TaQoya did an interview where she tells Hip Hollywood that her days as a lingerie model are behind her. Below are some pics.


"First I'd like to thank my family, my friends, and the public for their love and support. I have taken the necessary legal action against Mathew Knowles. With that being said… it's in my best interest for this to remain a private matter for now…

Above all I am a mother and my daughter's well being is my only priority. It was never my intention for this to become a public matter. The pictures you see are in no way a representation of who I am. They were taken 10 years ago…

And I am now a hard working successful single mother. Honestly I just want what is best for my daughter."



And now, TMZ has discovered that TaQoya was once friends with Matthew's daughter Solange. Check out the photo (top) allegedly taken from one of their many nights out.

Mathew Knowles' alleged baby mama was tight with Solange Knowles ... but Solange had no idea her friend was banging her dad.

TaQoya Branscomb has sued Mathew, claiming he got her pregnant in 2010 ... around the time Beyonce's mom, Tina Knowles, filed for divorce.

We're told TaQoya met Solange in 2008 through a stylist.   They hung out together on multiple occasions in nightclubs and bars in Houston.

Now here's where the plot thickens.  We're told Matthew knew his daughter was hanging out with TaQoya. But Solange was in the dark.

If Solange's incident with Jay Z with rumors that he was cheating on Beyonce, we can only guess what she would've done to her so-called friend if she knew TaQoya and her father were having an affair.

If in fact Matthew did know his daughter and his (alleged) mistress were friends, he should be ashamed of himself. No wonder his wife decided to step away, their family probably knew there was a huge mess and not just one baby-mama.

Phaedra Parks' Husband, Apollo Nida, Sentenced to 8 Years in Prison, Should She Divorce Him?

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 05:52 PM PDT


Phaedra Parks' husband, Apollo Nida, has been sentenced to eight years in Federal prison for bank fraud on Tuesday, July 8. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star could have been given anywhere between 8 to 10years behind bars.

Apollo Nida had pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy to commit mail, wire, and bank fraud. The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member - Apollo appeared on the show with his wife - was accused of cashing stolen checks, laundering more than $2.3 million through phony bank accounts and ID theft.

Phaedra Parks has yet to comment on her husband's sentence. The couple married in 2009, and she is said to not know about her husband's shady business dealings.


He won't get out of prison until 2022, and the couple's sons, Ayden and Dylan, will be 12 and 9 when he gets out.

Fans on social media have already weighed in, with most believing that their embattled marriage has met its end.

"Man, I hope Phaedra meets a nice man and leaves Apollo alone," tweeted @JDoakes.

"I wouldn't be surprised if Phaedra divorces Apollo. Her actions have been speaking volumes lately." Another said.

Those "actions" included relaxing on vacation with her girls Fantasia Barrino and Kandi Burruss instead of being at her husband's side.

Ultimately, Phaedra Parks is the only one to decide if the man she loves is worth the wait.

Do you think she will wait or divorce him?

Khloe Kardashian Wishes To Have A Baby Soon And Tells Us Why She Is Dating French Montana

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 04:38 PM PDT


Khloe Kardashian really wants to be a mother soon, and if you've seen her reality show with estranged husband Lamar Odom, you will know where she's coming from. 

According to a Wednesday report from UsWeekly, the 30-year-old reality star is hoping to have a child with her boyfriend of only a few months, rapper French Montana.

A source told the magazine that Khloe is smitten with French Montana and is hoping to have a child with him. "Khloe's smitten and it's her goal to get pregnant - soon!"


The source said they are not planning to get engaged as they are both still technically married to other people - but are enjoying 'a very sexual relationship.'

This comes one day after the brunette beauty told People "one day" she will definitely start a family.

Khloe also spoke about her close relationship with French Montana during her recent birthday shindig in Las Vegas, saying;

"French is always happy and it's contagious. He's just what I need right now."

Pamela Anderson And Rick Salomon To Divorce, Again. This Time They Were Married 6 Months

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 04:23 PM PDT


Pamela Anderson and her husband Rick Salomon were first married in 2007, but then later got it annulled after two months. The couple got back together last October and married in January.  

This time the marriage lasted 6 months before Pamela Anderson, 47, filed for divorce on July 3rd, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for ending her marriage.

In 2013, after they got back together, Anderson told Ellen DeGeneres, "I don't want to meet anyone else."

"It's recycling. No, I'm very happy. We're happy. He's a great guy," she had joked then.


That happiness appears to have been short-lived, though.

Last month, a source told Us that the Pamela was "starting to regret marrying" her ex.

"It definitely won't last. She likes bad boys, and he's too nice and boring. She had reservations, and now she realizes she should have listened to her instinct. She regrets ever saying yes."

DailyMail Apologizes to George Clooney About Story of Religious Problems With His Inlaws

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 02:33 PM PDT


George Clooney wrote a strongly worded article that slammed DailyMail reports about his inlaws, and surprise! They retracted the fake story and apologized to him and his fiancee. 

The report, which has since been taken down from MailOnline, alleged that Clooney's future mother-in-law Baria Alamuddin is against his upcoming nuptials to fiancée Amal Alamuddin because of religious reasons.

Clooney called the story "irresponsible" and took issue with the conflict-baiting nature of the content, rather than the intrusiveness into his personal life. He thinks such stories are dangerous for stirring the recent tensions around the world.

Below is George Clooney's article via USA Today ...


I want to speak to the irresponsibility of Monday's Daily Mail report. I seldom respond to tabloids, unless it involves someone else and their safety or well being. The Daily Mail has printed a completely fabricated story about my fiancée's mother opposing our marriage for religious reasons. It says Amal's mother has been telling "half of Beirut" that she's against the wedding. It says they joke about traditions in the Druze religion that end up with the death of the bride.

Let me repeat that: the death of the bride.

First of all, none of the story is factually true. Amal's mother is not Druze. She has not been to Beirut since Amal and I have been dating, and she is in no way against the marriage — but none of that is the issue. I'm, of course, used to the Daily Mail making up stories — they do it several times a week — and I don't care. If they fabricate stories of Amal being pregnant, or that the marriage will take place on the set of Downton Abbey, or that I'm running for office, or any number of idiotic stories that they sit at their computers and invent, I don't care.

But this lie involves larger issues. The irresponsibility, in this day and age, to exploit religious differences where none exist, is at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous. We have family members all over the world, and the idea that someone would inflame any part of that world for the sole reason of selling papers should be criminal.

I'm the son of a newsman; I accept the idea that freedom of speech can be an inconvenience to my private life from time to time, but this story, like so many others, is picked up by hundreds of other outlets citing the Daily Mail as their source, including Boston.com, New York Daily News, Gulf News, Emirates 24/7 and so on.

The Daily Mail, more than any other organization that calls itself news, has proved time and time again that facts make no difference in the articles they make up. And when they put my family and my friends in harm's way, they cross far beyond just a laughable tabloid and into the arena of inciting violence.

They must be so very proud.

The Daily Mail pulled the controversial story immediately and released a statement apologizing to George Clooney and his family.

"The MailOnline story was not a fabrication but supplied in good faith by a reputable and trusted freelance journalist. We only became aware of Mr. Clooney's concerns this morning and have launched a full investigation. However, we accept Mr Clooney's assurance that the story is inaccurate and we apologize to him, Miss Amal Alamuddin and her mother, Baria, for any distress caused. We have removed the article from our website and will be contacting Mr. Clooney's representatives to discuss giving him the opportunity to set the record straight."

Touching Video of 2-Year-Old Amputee, Kayden Kinckle Walking for the First Time Goes Viral

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 02:01 PM PDT


The video of Kayden, a two year old that had his right and left foot amputated in January learning how to walk with prosthetics, has gone viral and it is not hard to see why.

In the video, double amputee Kayden Elijah Kinckle is walking for the first time with the help of his therapist, and though he stumbles getting used to his prosthetics, he keeps laughing.

Kayden nearly falls a couple of times, but he gets up each time, chanting "I got it! I got it!" to his mom and therapist as he carefully walks down the hall.

Check out the video, with over 400,000 views in less than a week, below, and before that, his mother, Nikki Sessoms, gives some background to the video with a summary of the journey that Kayden has been on since birth;


My name is Nikki and this is my video that i shared of my 2 year old son named Kayden. He was born with an omphalocele; the doctors stated he would not survive and suggested I terminate my pregnancy, even the ultra sound techs agreed saying that he would either be still born or wouldn't make it through the repair surgery.

I still continued with the pregnancy even though I was warned against it and told that my son wouldn't walk and would have many problems; "but" "God said everything would be alright" I delivered early so the omphalocele wasn't as big as predicted, his spine and hip bones were fine and mentally there were no issues.

So my husband and I stepped out on faith and even though his right foot and left leg were amputated, he now has prosthetics and is learning to walk. This video is really more than 1st steps...we celebrate his life as well and every step he takes will be to glorify GGod. We want the whole world to know his testimony!!!

On Son Who Murdered His Father, Wale Gates Asks "When Does Discipline Cross Into Abuse?"

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 01:09 PM PDT


Nigerian comedian, Wale Gates shared his personal experience of having an abusive father through a series of tweets today defending the 21-year-old Redeemers University undergraduate who killed his dad with a cutlass and sliced the corpse into a box. He began,

"It might come has a surprise but I have a little sympathy for the young guy that murdered his RCCG dad. It's easy for some of you to focus on just his actions but not what led to it. Years of probably constant beatings in the name of discipline...Since the father was this praying Saint of a man why didn't he pray the evil away? Why did he resort to beating & biting a 21yr old MAN?

Read the complete story below. And seriously, when does child discipline cross into child abuse? Is there an age when a parent should stop corporal punishment of their children? Let's discuss.

Tyra Banks Explains Why Women Won’t Be As Curvy As She is In The Future

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 10:40 AM PDT


Supermodel Tyra Banks predicts that most women's bodies won't be as curvy as hers in the future, and how standards of beauty will change. The reason? Hunger caused by scarcity of food caused by, wait for it, global warming.

You may be asking, since when is Tyra Banks a global warming expert? Well, since now. 

She also thinks women, and men, will use the plastic surgery options that will be as easy and quick as over the counter meds to achieve their desired looks. Like maybe Tyra herself has done?

Tyra Banks made these statements about the future in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, and I'm thinking, she will make a great science fiction writer. Check out her predictions below...

Beauty in the Future will Mean Looking Different 

By TYRA BANKS

As I look into the future, I see radical changes in both how people "attain beauty," and how the world perceives beauty. In general, I believe, traditional beauty will be less valuable—and more uniqueness will be heralded. But let me be more specific with 10 predictions:

1. Plastic surgery will be as easy and quick as going to the drugstore for Tylenol. Emphasis will be on how unique and interesting one can look, as opposed to a cookie-cutter look. People will be vying for that cutting-edge, distinct look in the way that today celebs reach for baby names that defy convention.

2. There will be no hair extensions. If one wants longer locks, a hair-growing serum is applied to the scalp, and the length and thickness of the hair will increase in 24 hours. The popular hair texture of choice will be curly.

3. Global warming will threaten our crops so natural food will be scarce. Hourglass, curvy bodies will be the aspirational beauty standard, representing that those women have access to bounties of fulfilling yet healthy food, which means they are affluent.

4. The features of one's baby will be as selectable as menu items at a fast-food drive-through window. Blue and green eyes will become so common that dark brown will become the rare and newly desired eye color.

5. Skin color and features will mesh into a similar shade for the majority of people. Typical features and coloring will lean toward a Rihanna or Beyoncé or me kind of look. People with alabaster or ebony skin will be rare and heralded for that uniqueness.

6. Because beauty will be so readily accessible and skin color and features will be similar, prejudices based on physical features will be nearly eradicated. Prejudice will be socioeconomically based.

7. Advertising for the beauty industry will have shifted. Since beauty will be easily attainable, models will be as relevant as a horse and buggy. Robot/avatar models with features that look totally different from the golden-skinned everyday people will represent and sell products world-wide.

8. Everyone will have at least one personal robot/assistant/companion. If a person allows that robot/assistant to suggest products paid for by sponsors, that person's robot will be free of charge. In fact, that person will actually be paid to use the robot by a pool of advertisers. The robot will have super artificial intelligence and will be able to sense if its owner is having a low-self-esteem day and will then strategically give boosts of confidence to its owner. "Wow, Eloisa! Your eyes look especially lovely today."

9. For those who choose not to go for plastic surgery, beauty ingestibles (active waters, etc.) will give instant, yet temporary results: contoured cheekbones, rosy cheeks, arched eyebrows. However, one must use them repeatedly to maintain results.

10. Women's empowerment will be an irrelevant concept because the balance of power between the sexes will have shifted dramatically. Women, in control of when they can have children (up to age 120!), and having more degrees and education than men, will be in charge. Men will be responsible for 70% of cosmetics sales and plastic-surgery procedures world-wide. Why? Men will be vying for women's attention, obsessed with being attractive to females and snagging well-off ladies who can take care of them.

Wedding Day Divorce After Bride's Jealous Ex Sends the Groom Nude and Intimate Photos of Her

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 09:28 AM PDT


Is this the shortest marriage or what? A Saudi man is said to have divorced his wife on the night of their nuptials after he was given explicit pictures of his bride by her former lover.

The couple had been wed only hours when the groom was passed a memory stick containing the pictures hidden in a bouquet of flowers.

A note told him to look at the contents of the device and, when he did, he found the photographs of his new wife, laid bare and in intimate circumstances.


According to local media, the newlywed husband divorced his wife before they could even consummate their marriage after her ex sent him compromising photos of her.

Muslim cleric Sheikh Ghazi Bin Abdul Aziz al-Shammari told Kuwaiti television news that the groom decided on the spot that his hours-old marriage was over, the website Sabq reported.

'The groom came to see me the next day and he was under strong emotional trauma,' said the cleric.
'It was truly the shock of his life and he could not bear the scandal.'

Sheikh al-Shammari said the bride's former lover had days earlier tried to blackmail her into staying with him, threating to reveal their relationship if she refused.

She told him to get lost, telling him she was to be married and that she wanted to start a new life, become a mother and raise a family.

But her scheming ex-partner found out where the marriage was to be held, bought the bouquet and concealed the memory stick with her pictures inside.

He then took it to the hotel where the couple were celebrating their wedding and contrived for it to be passed to her husband-to-be.

Disturbing Video of Angelina Jolie as Cocaine and Heroine Addict Surfaces From Her Drug Dealer

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 08:27 AM PDT


Angelina Jolie has always been honest about some of the dangerous and dark things she did while younger, some of which are documented in many tabloids. In 2011 interview with 60 Minutes, she said;

'I went through heavier, darker times and I survived them. I didn't die young, so I'm very lucky. There are other artists and people who didn't survive certain things. I think people can imagine that I did the most dangerous and I did the worst. For many reasons I shouldn't be here. You think of those too many times where you came close to too many dangerous things, too many chances taken too far.'

Now, a disturbing video of an emaciated, dirty looking, Angelina Jolie has surfaced. The video has Angelina Jolie rambling on the phone in a dirty room, with dirty nails digging into her skin, and was acquired by the National Enquirer from convicted drug dealer Franklin Meyer.









Franklin Meyer claims claims he shot the 16-minute footage with Jolie's consent in 1999 after she called him round to her Manhattan home to re-supply her with heroin and cocaine.

Jolie who at the time was seeing the actor Billy Bob Thornton, her future husband, was also startlingly open with him about her debauched sex life, including Thornton's sexual prowess, her love of sado-masochism and her lesbian urges.

Meyer told the Enquirer:
Angie was a client of mine for several years. I sold her heroin and cocaine. One day she called me up and wanted me to drop by her place. That was her way of telling me she wanted me to bring her drugs. At the time, I had just bought a video camera and decided to bring it along. When I arrived, I just gave her the drugs and then she gave me the money. It didn't seem to matter to her who was there.'

He said he kept filming her as her father, Hollywood star Jon Voight, rang and they discussed her brother, James, and late mother, Marcheline Bertrand.He claims that he would see Jolie two or three times a week when she was in the city, meeting either at her flat or at the hotel. Each time, she would generally spend around $100 on heroin and cocaine.

Kim Kardashian and Her Sisters Say Yes To the Question, "Can Women Have It All?"

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 11:07 AM PDT


Kim Kardashian and her sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, are business women in their own right and they were featured on CNBC's business segment "Closing Bell" last Monday. 

The CEOs or the various brands were asked about juggling their crazy schedules with family life, and if women could have it all, bearing in mind that PepsiCo CEO said it was not possible.

Kim confessed that it has been more difficult, especially since she had her daughter last June, but that having it all was possible with good prioritizing. She gave the credit to their mother, Kris Jenner, for instilling a strong work ethic in her children.

Read excerpts from the interview below;



Evans: .. So, Kim and everybody, there's been this debate back and forth for some time about whether women can be successful in the workplace and raise families or whether those two things are fundamentally at odds. One of the most high-profile female CEOs, Indra Nooyi, recently just made some comments where she sort of came out against the idea that you can have it all. Just take a quick listen and then I'd like your thoughts.

Indra Nooyi sound: I don't think women can have it all. I just don't think so. We pretend we have it all. We pretend we can have it all. You know, my husband and I married for 34 years and we have two daughters. But if you ask our daughters, I'm not sure they will say that i've been a good mom. I'm not sure.

KimKardashian: I mean, I think that's just not really like a positive outlook and for me, like my mom kind of taught us girls that we could have it all. You know, she works hard. She taught us that if you work hard, it's just all about prioritizing and I think that, yeah, it could get tough and after you have a baby, there are so many times when I just didn't want to get up and work on something and I just wanted to be home with my baby, but, you know, for me, and I think I can speak for my sisters, it makes us feel good when we are out working and we can provide something for our friends and products that, you know, we can't find that we really want. And it just makes you feel productive. So if anyone really feels like they can't do it all, I feel like it's a little bit discouraging to say that, even if I couldn't and it wasn't possible, I would try. And I would, you know, try my best to do it all.

Kourtney Kardashian: but I do – I do, you know – I think my biggest struggle as a mom has been balancing the two. But I do think it's possible. I just think it's like you feel guilty.

Khloe Kardashian: it takes time to find that balance.

Kourtney Kardashian: right – to find that balance. I used to feel so guilty every time I left and, you know, but –

Khloe Kardashian: and there is no cookie cutter way. It's whatever works for your life and your career and your family. And no two families are the same. And no two wants are the same. So I think that you have to find what works best for you in your private home.

Amazing Photos From The Replica Titanic II Scheduled to Set Sail in 2016

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 11:06 AM PDT


The Titanic II is being built by Australian mining billionaire Clive Palmer under his company The Blue Star Line. Mashable reports that in 2016, the Titantic II will make the route from Southampton, England to New York, with 2,600 passengers and 900 crew members crew members on board.

The ship will be a nearly-exact replica of the original Titanic, expect unlike the original, it will have enough life boats for all those it carries.

Passengers will be given 1920s period costumes to wear, and sticking with that theme, the ship may be sparse on other modern amenities, such as Internet and TV, said Palmer.















"The area [for] passengers will be authentic with the same design and facilities, but there will be modern things such as air conditioning and other features we are debating, such as Internet on the ship," Palmer said at the press conference. "I'm against it. I think you should relax on vacation. There won't be TVs in the state rooms though."

Ticket prices have yet to be announced, but Palmer said he has an offer for $1 million thus far, reports Mashable.

Personally, if I could afford it, I would go for a cruise on this. What about you?

No Baby Mama Drama - An African American Makes A Case For Polygyny In The Black Community

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 06:01 AM PDT


By Varian Xavier on Facebook

This is one of my fbook friends who is in a lovely/beautiful polygynous relationship. Polygyny is growing and more black couples are considering it and engaging in it.

Polygyny is for the benefit of women and children and with the women out numbering men it can be a solution to family unity. In polygyny every woman can have a man and every child can have a father. 

Polygyny is a big help financially when grown folk get together and combine their resources. It is not for everybody but for those engaged in it seem to be very happy and the children are cared for by a loving family. All parties involved have to be mature and understanding.


The women have to be totally comfortable with self and love their sister-wife like a real sister. Sister wives at times become best friends and do everything together and have the same goals and purpose. They all take care of home and share duties around the house.


Most polygynous relationships have very intelligent and responsible kids and the children have the attention of 3 to 4 adults. Polygyny has always thru history been a part of the African culture and the family unit progresses.

There are many benefits of a polygynous relationship and it should be put on the table and talked about in the black community. Polygyny is going on under the table in some form anyway so why not put it on the table and organize it for the benefit of all involved and the children.

I personally think its a beautiful thing and i personally would limit it to only 2 wives. More than 2 can get complicated and may ruin the family unit if one wife is not mentally stable or matured to a certain point.

I have several friends in a polygynous relationship and it is more love and care floating around than the usual as far as i can see.

3 incomes is always better than 1 or 2 and 3 people working one business is always fruitful.

I personally dont have to be in a polygynous relationship and i would be fine 1 on 1 but i would go there if the right situation presented itself.

Presidents, Dictators and Governors At Council of State Meeting - Which Way Nigeria?

I was looking at these photos of President Goodluck Jonathan with former Nigerian presidents and heads of states, including Babangida, Obasanjo and Abdulsalam Abubakar at the National Council of State meeting, and I was so tired of Nigeria.

2. Prioritise 

As you rise higher up the ranks in your career, your work load naturally increases. Thus, it's important to be organized in your tasks. Note down the things needed to be done for the day and ensure that you finish them all before going home. Also, a cluttered work space risks more chances of being distracted so be sure to clean out your area or at least ensure that your things are neatly arranged.

3. Chronicle your life 

It's highly recommended that you record down your achievements and other significant moments in life preferably in a journal. This allows for an opportunity for self-reflection which is not only therapeutic but also becomes a way to motivate you further.

4. Read 

Reading is one of the first and most important skills we learn growing up but somehow when we get older, we take this habit for granted. Don't blame the fast-paced society, just pick up a book and read before heading to work. Reading stimulates the brain, making those creative juices flow. So by the time you reach the office, you might be full of inspirational ideas and ready to start the day.

5. Fixed sleeping schedule 

One of the worst things that can kill a mood is lethargy. A successful person needs to be alert and approachable when at work. No one wants to socialize with someone who's like a grouchy bear. The need for an 8-hour sleep is a myth; you would need only about 6.5 to 7.5 hours for an optimum rest. But what's important to note here is actually the time that you choose to go to bed. It's best to sleep at the same time every night.

Nigerian transgender Iris Sahhara Henson, often referred to as Miss Sahhara, has announced that she will be representing Nigeria at a transgender pageant - Super Sireyna - holding in the Philippines.

Miss Sahhara says the pageant is to showcase the creativity and inner beauty of participants.


Ms Sahhara says if she wins the pageant, her legacy would be to campaign for the acceptance of transgenders;

"I will do all my best to teach people more about transgender issues, who we are and where we come from because there is this huge misconception around the issues that surrounds transgender people. We are not to be afraid of. We are not immoral. We are human beings, we have blood running in our vein and we pray you give us the chance and understanding and love that you give your fellow human beings because we are one of you" she said.

On who her role model is, she said;

"I think my role model is my mum. My mum is a single parent and she brought myself and my younger sister up. She gave us the best education. My mum is very intelligent and she always tells us to go back to school, lets study, lets get all our degrees"

Yemi Alade And Alex Ekubo Find Sweet Love in Tangerine [Music Video Romance]

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 12:03 AM PDT


The music video for Yemi Alade's new song "Tangerine" featuring Selebobo is out and is the official follow-up to Johnny. Both songs are from her debut album "Kings Of Queens" expected to be released in the last quarter of 2014.

Again, Alex Ekubo is Yemi Alade's leading man and he's no more a womanizing cad. In fact, they enjoy a short on-screen kiss :)

The video is directed by the award-winning Clarence Peters and tells the tale of a love that is as sweet as "Tangerine". I'm surprised though that while she was shopping for fruits, there was no tangerine?

OK, maybe I'm being too literal. Watch the video below..
