Ever read a story and the first thing that comes to your mind is “Was he/she bewitched”?

Read this:

Samuel Kayode, allegedly spent seven years paying himself a fortune from the accounts of the acclaimed Haberdashers’ Aske’s state schools in Britain’s “biggest ever educational fraud”

An accountant stole more than £4million from a leading chain of academies to pay for two wives, a property portfolio, luxury cars and designer clothes, a court heard.

Samuel Kayode allegedly spent seven years paying himself a fortune from the accounts of the acclaimed Haberdashers’ Aske’s state schools in Britain’s ‘biggest ever educational fraud’. He spent it at a rate of up to £98,000 a month, some on private healthcare for his dying first wife Grace in England – while spiriting more away to a secret second wife in Nigeria, the prosecution claimed.

Kayode, 60, would arrive late each day – wearing Gucci and Versace – for his £57,000-a-year accounts manager job. He was responsible for managing the funds for Haberdashers’ schools in South London including Hatcham College and Knights Academy, along with four primaries.

He would work late locked in his office, refusing to share details of the schools’ finances with his bosses, the jury was told.

Kayode was caught when an anonymous whistleblower phoned a new chief financial officer at the schools in 2012, it is alleged.

When he was arrested he had a new Mercedes, a new £40,000 Infiniti luxury car, an Audi TT sports car, at least four properties in Britain and more in Nigeria. He had also made plans to move permanently to Africa with his younger second wife.

He made no comment to ‘each and every’ police question, and is now on trial at Woolwich Crown Court in South London accused of obtaining £150,000 by theft and £3.95million by fraud. Nigeria-born Kayode, a father of four from East London who was also a lay preacher in his church, denies the charges.

Let’s see if that Bible passage works in this case.

Tupac’s estate to sue Drake for using AI voice of late rapper in diss track

Published

By

The estate of Tupac Shakur, the late US rapper, is taking legal action against Drake following the release of the Canadian singer’s diss track ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’.

On April 19, Drake released ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’ on streaming services.

The track stirred outrage with its alleged use of AI-generated vocals imitating Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg — apparently to taunt Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift.

According to a cease-and-desist letter obtained by Billboard, Tupac’s estate, represented by lawyer Howard King, expressed disappointment over the “unauthorised use” of Tupac’s voice and likeness.

The letter calls it a “flagrant violation” of Tupac’s publicity rights and a “blatant abuse” of his legacy.

King demanded that Drake remove the song from all platforms within 24 hours, threatening “all legal remedies” if he failed to comply.

“The Estate is deeply dismayed and disappointed by your unauthorised use of Tupac’s voice and personality,” the letter reads.

“Not only is the record a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the estate’s legal rights, it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. The Estate would never have given its approval for this use.”

Drake’s management has yet to respond publicly.

It remains to be seen if Snoop Dogg, whose voice was also seemingly imitated, will take similar legal action.

Tupac was fatally shot while leaving a boxing match in 1996.
