‘I don’t joke around with my money’ – Falz shuts down show promoters

2:17 AM |
FalzTheBahdGuy has warned his fans expecting to see him at an event not to be deceived by promotional adverts of his performance, as he has not been paid for that event.

In a disclaimer, the rapper shut down an advert making the rounds by some show promoters.

‘It has come to my observation that there is a certain promotion that is ongoing concerning a certain FalzTheBahdGuy in Concert,’ he said in his faux accent.

‘At this point in time I think it’s compulsory for me to place a very cogent and magnanimous disclaimer out there, because some of my lady fans already contacted me that they cannot wait for me to grace the stage.’

Falz, who embarked on his first official UK tour in June 2016 to promote of his second studio album Stories That Touch, further said: ‘But it is unfortunate because, I will not be coming for the concert. The promoters failed to pay my money, and when it comes to my money, I don’t joke around.’

However, TheNETng reached out to a close source of the rapper who dismissed Falz’s statement as ‘not a big deal.’

Olympic mystery: Who will light Rio cauldron?

4:21 AM |
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -- The Latest on the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro (all times local):

6:25 a.m.
As the Olympic torch makes its way through Rio de Janeiro, the big question is: Will Pele show up?
The former soccer star -- Brazil's most famous athlete -- said this week he was invited to take part in the opening ceremonies for the 2016 Summer Olympics, but business deals were stopping him from doing it.

Millions of television viewers from around the world are expected to watch the three-hour ceremony in Rio de Janeiro on Friday night, which culminates in the lighting of the Olympic cauldron.

American sculptor Anthony Howe told The Associated Press that his cauldron design was inspired by life in the tropics. There will be two cauldrons in Rio, one at the Maracana soccer stadium that is hosting the opening ceremony and another open to the public in downtown Rio.

Howe says the cauldron in central Rio will be lit by a runner after the opening ceremony ends.

There's going to be no shortage of samba, culture or diversity in the opening ceremony for the 2016 Summer Olympics as Brazil proudly showcases its traditions and environmental wonders.
Millions of television viewers from around the world are expected to watch the three-hour ceremony in Rio de Janeiro on Friday night, which comes as the country is reeling from political and economic turmoil.

Organizers are making sure that global warming and the environment, especially the country's magnificent Amazon rainforest, are important parts of the ceremony.

In all, 4,800 performers and volunteers will be involved in the show at Rio's Maracana stadium. NBC will broadcast the opening ceremony on a one-hour tape delay because it wants the extravaganza to be shown completely in U.S. prime time.

Samba and pop music singers are expected to perform, including Grammy award winners Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. Supermodel Gisele Bundchen will also be on hand to promote her native Brazil.

President: Payment not ransom ... Young Americans political survey ...

4:19 AM |

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is rejecting the idea that a $400 million cash payment to Iran was ransom to secure the release of four Americans jailed in Tehran. Obama told reporters at the Pentagon, "This wasn't some nefarious deal." Last January's payment was part of a decades-old dispute over a failed military equipment deal dating to the 1970s, before the Islamic revolution in 1979.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A new survey says most young Americans feel the Republican and Democratic parties don't represent them. The GenForward poll also finds that this disconnect holds true across racial and ethnic groups. Just 28 percent of young adults overall said the two parties do a good job of representing the American people.

BONITA, Calif. (AP) -- A San Diego police officer who was fatally shot in the driver's seat of his patrol car after his partner approached a man on the street will be buried Friday. Jonathan De Guzman was a 16-year veteran of the force. His partner was shot in the throat but is expected to recover. A suspect has pleaded not guilty to murder and attempted murder.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -- The opening ceremony for the 2016 Summer Olympics takes place tonight in Rio de Janeiro. Millions of television viewers from around the world are expected to tune in. NBC will carry the three-hour ceremony on a one-hour delay because it wants the entertainment spectacle to be shown completely in U.S. prime time.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Character actor David Huddleston has died in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He's remembered for such roles as the mayor in "Blazing Saddles" and the blustery millionaire in "The Big Lebowski." His wife says Huddleston died Tuesday of advanced heart and kidney disease. He was 85.

Bachelor In Paradise star Chad Johnson goes on drunken rampage and ‘poops’ pants

4:10 AM |


A CONTESTANT has been booted from a US dating show after just one episode following an ordeal that saw him drunkenly call a woman a “one-armed b*tch” before “pooping” his pants.
Chad Johnson was the villain on the most recent series of The Bachelorette US, and that reputation has been strengthened following his short stint on Bachelor In Paradise. 

Just one episode into the series — which features former contestants of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette — the 28-year-old former marine managed to charm fellow contestant Lace and made out with her in the spa before alcohol led to some bickering.
\
Returning to the living quarters, Chad called Lace a b*tch before turning on everyone else.
“I’ll murder everyone here. I’ll kill your children and murder your family. Dolla, dolla bills, yo,” he slurred. He then turned on another contestant, Sarah Herron, who was born with one full arm and only the upper half of the other due to a medical condition.

“F*ck that one-armed b*tch,” he continued. “You suck that d*ck. Keeping sucking that d*ck. Keep sucking that fame.”

Chad eventually passed out by the pool. And, according to other contestants, he crapped himself.



“Not only did Chad lose his mind, but he lost all the contents in his body,” fellow contestant Vinnie recalled. “Apparently he pooped his pants.”

And it turns out even reality TV producers have their limits. An emergency meeting was called to eliminate The Chad immediately.

“You told everybody at this hotel last night to suck a d*ck,” host Chris Harrison said. “You had a chance to turn over a new leaf and you didn’t, and so on behalf of everybody, I’m sorry, I thought this could work out, it didn’t. I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”

By now, just from reading this article, you can probably assume Chad didn’t take the forced-elimination very well.

He flipped again.
“You don’t even watch this. You went to sleep last night with a mimosa and a robe on. F*ck you, dude. Go drink your mimosas,” Chad slurred at the host. “You think this is all fun and games? This is my life. You’re going to sit here and try and make me look like a b*tch? F*ck you, Chris Harrison. Come at me.”

Since being evicted, the guilt has set in about his “one-armed b*tch” comment and Chad has taken to Twitter to apologise to Sarah.

“I apologise. I said something I shouldn’t have said, and I did make a mistake. It sucks. What are you going to do?” he wrote.

We’re now kinda hoping the Australian version of The Bachelorette incorporates some drunken rants and pants-pooping later on in this current season.

Drake is set to go into a rap battle with Eminem? Here’s what fans think

4:09 AM |
Could the 6 God and Rap God be at war? That remains to be seen, but for now, Drake is making it known that he is ‘Not Afraid’ of an Eminem feud.

Earlier yesterday, Hot 97’s Ebro Darden opened up on his show about a private conversation he had with Drizzy about Joe Budden and Slim Shady.

‘We talked about Joe Budden,’ Darden said. ‘He was laughing. He was like, ‘I gave him a little look…That’s why Joe ain’t put out the DMs. He keeps threatening he’s gonna put out DMs, where I DM’ed him…The reason he ain’t put them out was because I DM’ed him and said, ‘I hope you get well in this tough time, aka you out here strung out on dope or something.’ So he ain’t put that out.‘

That’s when Eminem came into the conversation.

‘I told Drake,’ Darden added, ‘That the rumor was that Eminem was gonna gear up to come after him. He laughed. He was like, ‘That’s not gonna happen. He’d never do that and if he did, I’ve got something for him too.’ This was a private convo…That’s what he said.’

Eva Alordiah’s 1960 album set for August release

4:20 AM |
Nigerian rapper Eva Alordiah has reignited anticipation for her full debut studio album, 1960.

The wait for the album has waned in the past months, having suffered several reshuffles, delays and push backs.

Despite Eva releasing a reworked version of her single ‘Kanayo’ featuring Phyno and Reminisce months ago, many believed the album might never see the light of day.

However, fans of the multi-talented rapper can finally begin to look forward to the release of 1960, as an August 13 release date has been tentatively earmarked.

Eva teased a studio session with Femi Kuti and excitedly shared that the collaboration is expected to be on the album.

Iyanya threatens Hit FM OAP

4:16 AM |
Thenetng has obtained an exclusive telephone recording where Nigerian singer, Iyanya threatened an On air personality of Hit FM, Calabar.

We exclusively gathered that the OAP known as Last Prophet had his radio show Otwetwe, on August 2, 2016 where he talked about Iyanya parting ways with his former partner and manager Ubi Franklin.

The OAP during his show said ‘he wondered if Iyanya was planning to return back to Calabar where he started from’.

Not long after the show, Iyanya put a call through to the OAP threatening him.

In Iyanya’s words, ‘I don’t depend on my strive (sic), but i depend on God to take me further, this is Iyanya speaking, brother let this be the first and the last time that you will make that kind of statement that you made about me on your show. I have never had any issue with you, don’t ever in your whole life mention my issue with Ubi on your show. I’ve had different people call me to make that report, the next time you do I’ll show you another side of me’.

Thenetng reached out to the OAP, Last Prophet who spoke to us saying, ‘I was shocked at Iyanya’s phone call. I’m a comedian and OAP, my show is a comedy show in pidgin English. All I did was make jokes from the situation, which is what anyone else would have done. I only feel bad because I’m sure he would not do that to any OAP in Lagos; he did it to me because he feels I’m in Calabar and he can just threaten me like that.


Iyanya who recently signed a management deal with TMC could not be immediately reached for comments at the time of this report. Since he parted ways with Ubi he has no known manager or contact details on his social media pages.

D'banj launched a platform for creative people called Cream Platform.

1:46 PM |
It was reported that Nigerian superstar D'banj had left the Mike Adenuga led telco GLO for the rival MTN telecommunications outfit.
Later in the day D'banj confirmed these reports to be true by announcing his new venture with MTN on his Instagram page. The 'Oliver Twist' singer has entered a venture (via his record label DKM) with MTN to create a platform for creative people called Cream Platform.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Cream Platform by D'banj(Instagram/iambangalee)



"A partnership with MTN and DKM to launch a platform of Visible hope for the creative industry where Creative contents will be found , housed , financed , nurtured , published , marketed , distributed and Sold with track-able Monitoring by Content owners without leaving their comfort zones. Supported by Bank of Industry" announced D'banj on his Instagram page.


The Cream Platform kicked off yesterday and D'banj claims that over 32,000 entries were registered on it.

In 2009 D'banj signed an endorsement deal with GLO and it was reported to be worth N70m. The following year D'banj reportedly asked for more money which ultimately led to the telco dumping him and signing Psquare for a contract worth over N100m.


3 years later D'banj bumped into Chief Mike Adenuga which led to the singer re-signing with the telco. His endorsement deal with GLO has now expired and the telecommunications outfit is not enthusiastic on extending D'banj's contract.



Last month D'banj made the headlines over his supposed marriage to a mystery woman later identified as Lineo Didi Kilgrow. The pop star has not confirmed or denied that he is married.
