Ella Martins — I’m divorcing my husband soon
Beninese singer, actress and virtual artist became very popular in Nigeria when a story broke that she and Nollywood superstar, Genevieve Nnaji, were love partners as lesbians. The story made such a great fuss even Potpourri couldn’t ignore it and sought after the Beninese to get an interview which we got.
The Chocolat Baby crooner is back in the news again, not about any homosexuality saga but as a distress wife about to call it quits with her husband of many years.
In a private chat with Potpourri days ago, the singer opened up on a lot of things. First, she said she is tired of her marriage and wanted out. Want out? We never even knew she was married or not.
“ I have been married a long time but most people don’t see me as a married woman because I have been living apart from my husband for years now. My husband is German and we are legally married. We married when I was 14 years old. By the time I was 21 I was already tired with the marriage and I guess so was my husband. Both of us have been living separately for years now” she revealed
Her story has a note of depression about it, but marrying at age 14, is hardly something anyone would want to be all cheery about, if you ask me, and I asked her why she had to marry so early in life. There, another big revelation came to light about the beauty and sexy singer who has dated powerful men in the continent.
“I ran away from my parents so early and got myself hooked to my husband. I must tell my parents are Yoruba. My dad’s name is Olayinka Martins while my mum’s name is Fagbemi Oulematou. But I grew up in Abidjan, Cote de Ivoire and France” she said

Iyanya talks On Serving Groundnut for VIP at his album launch concert
Despite Paying almost half a million naira for a VIP table at the Iyanya album launch concert in Abuja, the singer has lashed out at guests who complained that he served them only groundnut and a bottle of Hennessy.
On Saturday, September 19 the Kukere master launched his third studio album, ‘Applaudise’ and it was held at Thisday Dome in Abuja. The highlight of the album launch was his duet with popular singer Seyi Shay which he created a scene that made Shay ran a distance.
Speaking through his manager, Ubi Franklin, Iyanya said he never promised food and was not in charge of what guest got at the event.
“Go and check Iyanya’s promotion for the album, we did not promise anybody that we would put anything on the table. If you are sitting on the table, it is premium. Iyanya gave them a proper show for three hours. Iyanya and I were not in charge of what would be put on the table,” Franklin said without remorse as he rudely cut off the phone, Punch reported.
An angry guest had placed a call to a punch correspondent complaining about what was served at the concert as against the fee charged.
“When I told my wife that I got a table at Iyanya’s album launch, she was ecstatic because the singer is one of her favourites. It came to us as a rude shock when we were served groundnuts and Hennessy. I mean we paid N400,000 just to be given groundnuts?” the VIP was quoted.

Jennifer Lopez sex tape might be released to the public
Pop singer, Jennifer Lopez, is now the latest celebrity to be caught in a sex tape scandal as she battles in court to keep it all private.
The sex tape could be released to the public if she loses the case.
Her ex-hubby, Ojani Noa's business partner is planning to unveil the singer's intimate videos which were recording by Ojani himself while the couple were married.
According to In Touch magazine, the master tape of all the footage is in a central depository per court order, but Ed Meyer believes they have a legal loophole after J-Lo withdrew her claims while the case was in arbitration.
Ed told the publication:
"We are going to produce a DVD and also have a streaming release of the J.Lo home video footage. There is revealing video of her with a lack of clothing and in sexual situations, especially in the hotel footage from the honeymoon.
"The videos contain salacious material and are going to shock her fans..We have unfinished business."
This is bound to cause an outrage amongst her fans.
Jennifer married Ojani in February 1997 before they split after 11 months of marriage the following year.

One artiste who has been greatly inspired by 2face is Wizkid.He was one of the guests who attended 2face’s all star tribute Concert titled #Fortified which held at Eko Hotel last weekend.
The honour and praises showered on 2face clearly got to Wizkid, who also desires to be a legend just like 2face someday.
After the event, the Ojuelegba crooner took to his Instagram page in an emotionally written post to announce that he has decided to postpone the release of his 3rd studio album which was meant to drop this month.
“I celebrated the legend 2face Idibia last night! Epic! It made me realize how much work I need to do. So I’m moving my album to sometime next year!’ But my EP drops next month! October! 10tracks! 10 videos! What a time to be alive!”

Mercy Aigbe Warns Actresses Against Tattooing Their bodies
In a recent chat, Nigerian Yoruba actress Mercy Aigbe-Gentry spoke on why she does not like tattoos and further warned her fellow actresses why it is wrong to have a permanent adornment on their bodies.
Below is how she poured it :
“Maybe it’s because I dread pain. But seriously, I don’t like it on me, because I’m like an insatiable person when it comes to having things like that on my body” Today I may like a bird, and the following day I’ll get tired of that and want to change it.
And asides that, in my job, you’ll have to play different roles; so it automatically restricts the number of roles you can play in a movie, so I feel as a professional actress, you shouldn’t, maybe to an extent, have a permanent thing on your body” On what she wouldn’t be found doing she said: “No, I can’t go out braless; I’m a mother, so I will not do that. But some ladies do that and for me, if they look good in it fine, why not” Sounding very judgy from Mercy Aigbe, but everyone is entitled to their opinion right?

Anti Saraki senators plot to impeach him
On Friday members of the Senate Unity Forum tried to convert senators loyal to the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki to have him impeached and change the leadership of the Senate.
It was learnt that the SUF members, who contacted the pro-Saraki senators, based their argument on the ongoing trial of the Senate President at the Code of Conduct Tribunal and according to Punch, it seems they have been able to get the support of 12 pro-Saraki senators, mainly from the Peoples Democratic Party members.
It was gathered that senators who supported Lawan’s bid had allegedly met with some All Progressives Congress leaders on the need to remove Saraki and that they had started the meeting with the leaders shortly after the Senate went on recess.
A member of the group from the South-West geopolitical zone, who also craved anonymity, confirmed said that they have started reaching out to their colleagues who had joined the camp of Saraki.
He said:
“We know that getting the required figure to carry out an impeachment at the moment would be a herculean task but honestly we hope to achieve it very soon. Already there has been a serious move to get our former party members who are with Saraki now back to our camp.
“I can also confirm to you that we have the support of about 12 Peoples Democratic Party senators who are ready to support any move against Saraki. Don’t forget that some ranking PDP senators are still aggrieved over the emergence of freshers as their principal officers.”
Another source said:
“We learnt that the like minds senators are already working on some of their supporters in the PDP camp to reject the ministerial list by refusing to screen them but we are also ready for them. I won’t disclose our strategy for now.”

Kanye West gets serious about White House run in 2020
If you ever doubted Kanye West and his big dream of one day occupying the White House, then doubt no more.
Kanye announced his 2020 presidential run last month at the 2015 MTV VMAs and now he has confirmed the news and even talking all about his plans.
"Oh definitely," the 38-year-old rapper confirmed to Vanity Fair magazine when asked if he was serious.
The interviewer then noted that the reaction to his announcement was not very negative. To that, Kanye said:
"Especially from the six years of this misconception or the six years I went through of ‘We don’t like Kanye.’ And then as soon as I said that, it was like, ‘Wait a second, we would really be into that, because actually if you think about it, he’s extremely thoughtful. Every time he’s ever gotten in trouble, he was really jumping in front of a bullet for someone else. He’s probably the most honest celebrity that we have.’ I didn’t approach that because I thought it would be fun. It wasn’t like, Oh, let’s go rent some jet skis in Hawaii. No, the exact opposite."
Kanye continued with: "I sit in clubs and I’m like, Wow, I’ve got five years before I go and run for office and I’ve got a lot of research to do, I’ve got a lot of growing up to do. My dad has two masters degrees. My mom has a PhD, she used to work at Operation PUSH. Somehow the more and more creative I get, the closer and closer I get to who I was as a child. When I was a child, I was holding my mom’s hand at Operation PUSH. I think it’s time."

Rick Ross sues former groundskeeper for lying
Rick Ross may be out of jail but definitely not out of his mind.
The rapper has filed a fresh suit against his former groundskeeper, Jonathan Zamudio for lying that the rapper whooped him with his gun.The former groundskeeper had sued the hip hop mogul for allegedly pistol-whipping and beating him in his basement just because he found out he threw a party in his mansion and drove his cars.
The former groundskeeper had sued the hip hop mogul for allegedly pistol-whipping and beating him in his basement just because he found out he threw a party in his mansion and drove his cars.Zamudio also claimed Ross locked him in a room, whipped him with his pistol and brutalized him so bad he had to eat through a straw. Ross was arrested and thrown in jail for assault, making death threats and kidnapping.But the rapper now says his former groundskeeper is lying and he claims to have proof.
In his newly files legal documents, Ross states that Zamudio called 911 three hours after the alleged incident and never mentioned pistol-whipping or any injury for that matter. He also spoke clearly and calmly to the dispatcher. So, if Zamudio was "badly beaten" and could only eat through a straw, how come he could talk clearly on that 911 call three hours after?

Zeez Sues For Breach Of Contract
A few weeks ago, Zeez was billed to host a show in Houston, U.S.A. However, there are reports from an anonymous source who claimed that the organizers in USA received a letter from the law firm representing HF Music, the record label Zeez is currently signed to, informing them that Kingsley Elikpo, a.k.a Zeez, has a case currently pending in court, instituted against him by his label for breach of contract. In the letter, the record label urged the organizers of the show not to allow itself to be used to flout the authority of the court by allowing Zeez to perform at their show; warning that their involvement in the illegality would render them liable for luring Zeez to breach his contract with HF Music, and that they should desist from such action.
From our investigations on the report, we were able to find a document which shows that HF Music had indeed filed a lawsuit against Zeez following his inability to meet his obligations as outlined in his contract for some time, and rumour has it that it was an uphill task for the label to get him into the studio to even record the 6 track EP which was released last year November. An anonymous source disclosed that “Zeez acts more like a model than a recording artist due to lack of focus, dedication and commitment to his craft. “It sometimes appear as though he has lost the drive and is simply wasting the label’s time and resources.
A one-page apology letter he wrote to the label earlier in the year in which he admitted to gross misconduct testifies to this fact,” The source concluded. Our investigations further revealed that Zeez has been truly served the court processes, including the motion for injunction to restrain him from performing at shows and engaging in music-related business with other persons or organisations in violation of his contract with HF Music.
Zeez, in an affidavit submitted to the court, denied that he was performing shows for other organizations (paid or free) without the label’s consent. However, we found some event/concert posters (which clearly shows his image and name printed on the bill) and videos of Zeez’s performance at shows on his Instagram page so whether it was with or without the label’s consent is what we are yet to find out.

Destiny’s Child Could Make A Comeback
The trio released their last album in 2014, with the title — Destiny Fulfilled — insinuating that that was the end of the group.In an interview with Huffington Post, Knowles said he was still very much involved with the girls, and that he was working on a few project.
“I am extremely hopeful that the ladies will come back with an album and a tour,” he said. “I’m working on a few Destiny’s Child projects right now.
“My second book will be the autobiography of Destiny’s Child,” he continued. “I’m talking to the film and TV community right now, regarding a Destiny’s Child movie or TV series of some sort.”
“I still manage the ladies, and I’m hopeful that within the next two to three years we’ll see something major come from it,” Knowles said.
The girls — Beyonce Knowles, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland — are still on good terms with each other, so Knowles’ dream might just come true!
