Like his old boss, Don Jazzy, D’banj also bagged a recording deal with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music. D’banj once said, “I work hard so that money, awards, endorsements, bookings and kokolets chase me.”

SHOCKING: 13 year old Girl, Delivers Triplets
A 13-year-old girl has delivered triplets in the capital city of the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo.
The father of babies is a 61-year-old man who is currently hiding from the police, as he would be charged with sexual abuse of a minor, if caught.
In the interview to the local press, the young mother showed no regrets in giving birth to three babies, despite circumstances. She added she was happy with her three sons, naming them Samuel, Joshua and Jovanny.
Three baby boys are currently in the intensive care ward of a local hospital, as the births were premature. However, all of them have good chances to survive.
The age of consent is 18 in the Dominican Republic, yet it has one of the highest teen pregnancies in the world: nearly 15 % of 15-19-year-olds in the Dominican Republic are mothers, with hundreds of babies born to girls under the age of 15 every year, according to ECPAT UK.
According to Dominican laws, the offences of child abuse carry a sentence of between twenty to thirty years and $2,000 - $10,000 fine.

Too Expensive: Eminem & Kanye West’s Performances At Superbowl Party Cancelled Over Fees
According to TMZ, Eminem requested roughly $2 million to perform at the event. Kanye was open to performing for the owners, as well, but he wanted at least $1 million directly and made numerous other requests that would have been likely to drive the overall cost of the performance up. Both Em and Ye have been performing regularly this year, on the heels of their respective new albums, The Marshall Mathers LP 2 and Yeezus.
Those prices led to the owners’ deciding to seek their entertainment elsewhere.
Reportedly, R&B star Janelle Monae will be handling the show for the NFL owners this year. The singer requested a much more price-friendly fee of $150,000 for the party. Understandably, she landed the gig.
1,500 people are expected to attend the NFL Owners Party this year. The party is held every year prior to the Super Bowl and generally features top-tier entertainment.

Read Charles Okafor’s statement below:
“I’ve been lying low for a while because I diverted into Advocacy and human-angle films as a consequence of my new found faith. I’m still a career actor and a film maker but I am mindful of the scripts I do.A time come in the life of any professional when he seats back and takes stock of his professional issues and the legacy he wants to leave behind from the spiritual standpoint of view.You cannot just do any kind of film anymore if you’re going to be the light to the nations of the world. We must be seen in the context of the things that glorify God in totality.I’m driven to do advocacy films because they address social issues, human angle and spiritual issues that borders on the kingdom. That explains why I might not be as visible as I was some years back.You see, you cannot eat your cake and still have it. You cannot serve God and serve Marmon. You must clearly define where you stand. I have put my hands to the plow so I shouldn’t look back but that does not remove the fact that I’m still a career actor and film maker.”
