"You're not in the class of dancers that have the right to talk to me" - Kaffy brushes off critic, reiterates the need for a proper structure in the dance industry


Nigeria's Dance Queen, Kaffy took to social media last week to slam artistes who disrespect dancers and all that they stand for. This caused a media storm as she said it like it is, without holding back.
She stood as the voice for other voiceless dancers who have been ill treated and oppressed and said the time has come for a proper structure to protect themselves. Now, while some people hailed her bold step, a dancer in her industry lashed out at her.


"To be honest she's guilty of the same thing she accused the artiste of doing. You can't be the only creative director/choreographer for all the artists in Nigeria,Give people opportunity," dancer Micheal Omani said.

Mariah Carey says for the 10 months she was engaged to James Packer, she never slept with him

Mariah Carey met billionaire business man James Packer in 2015 and they got engaged in January 2016. For all the time they were together, over a year, Mariah's camp says she didn't sleep with him as she doesn't do pre-marital sex. Read the report from TMZ below...
Mariah Carey has the ultimate defense against claims she was banging her choreographer -- namely, she doesn't bang before marriage, and yeah ... that includes James Packer.

Sources close to Mariah tell us rumors about her relationship with Bryan Tanaka are completely false. We're told Mimi has a long-standing rep as a "traditional girl," and wouldn't blow that for anyone.
That stance extended to her now ex-fiance. We're told even though they lived together and spent weeks at a time on his yacht, they never got sexual. They always had separate rooms in their homes and on their boats.
Mariah's ex, Nick Cannon, can testify to her puritanical values. He's admitted in interviews he had to wait 'til they got hitched to round the bases.
Our Mariah sources say she and James were more like lovesick 12-year-olds -- they made out plenty, but never sealed the deal -- and that's one reason he was pushing hard to get married ASAP.

Photo: Former Nigerian cleaner jailed for using forged passport to claim over £34,000 in benefits

A 54-year-old Nigerian man, who fraudulently claimed more than £34,000 in benefits with a Nigerian alter ego, was on Friday, October 28th, sentenced to 10 months in prison. Adebola Adesanwo, is a naturalised UK citizen but as a dual-national, also has a Nigerian passport. 
Newport Crown Court heard how the former cleaner, had a second alias under a false, forged passport under the name of John Adepujo.

He had previously pleaded guilty to charges of possession an identification document with intent and two counts of failing to disclose information to make a gain.

Prosecuting, David Pugh said that border agency officials became suspicious of the defendant after he submitted a claim for sick pay but was unable to provide certain documents, alerting the border agency.

"On April 22, 2016, border agency officers went to an address in Newport and they were looking for John Adepujo," said Mr Pugh.

After leaving the property without finding the fictitious Mr Adepujo, they returned three days later believing that Adesanwo was the man that they had previously looked for.

We Won’t Give Kaffy The Attention She Is Seeking- Davido’s Manager


Davido’s manager, Kamal Ajiboye has explained what went down at the show Kaffy accused Davido of turning down dancers at the last minute, saying Kaffy was only making a big deal out of nothing. Speaking with Saturday Beats, Kamal said;

“I am not aware of any problem between Davido and Kaffy. Davido said that he didn’t need dancers for his performance and I don’t see how that is a problem. We saw what she posted online but we chose to ignore it because we are too busy to comment on such. Davido does not have any particular dancer that he works with. During the particular show, while he was about to perform, the organisers wanted to include dancers with his performance and he declined because the stage would not be big enough for him and the dancers to perform. I don’t know how that should be anybody’s problem. Continue...


“During a show that he had at Eko Hotel, he had about 30 dancers on stage with him. If he does not have regard for dancers, would he have employed their services? People just like to seek for attention and we would not give it to them. The only thing I can think of is that she is just seeking for attention. I mean they wanted to put dancers on his stage and all Davido said was that he did not want. How is that anyone’s problem? I think you should call Kaffy and ask if she has any problem with Davido.”
