Na By force?: Stalker Who Proposed To Malia Obama Arrested By Secret Service
A stalker who allegedly asked Barack Obama’s daughter Malia to marry him after turning up at her office has been detained. White House stalker Jair Nilton Cardoso arrived at the company in Manhattan where Malia, 18, is working as an intern last week.
He is then accused of playing loud music and asking the former president’s daughter to marry him. He was escorted out by two of Malia’s armed Secret Service bodyguards.
Two days later Cardoso, 30, allegedly followed Malia Obama out of another building where she also interns, sources told the New York Daily News .
He was recognised by her bodyguards because he reportedly tried to get into the White House when Malia was a member of the first family.
He was interviewed by Secret Service agents after arriving at Malia’s workplace and he was taken away for psychiatric evaluation.
Officials are also considering whether to bring harassment charges against him.
Malia Obama has been enjoying life since leaving the White House

Why I said Wizkid disrespected Don Jazzy – Mr. Macaroni
Comedian and actor, Adebowale Adedayo, aka Mr Macaroni, has disclosed his reason for saying Afrobeat music singer, Wizkid, disrespected the Mavin Records boss, Michael Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy by calling him an ‘influencer’.
Macaroni stated this on Wednesday during a live show on Wazobia TV in Lagos.
The comedian justified his position on Wizkid that although Don Jazzy is an influencer perhaps ‘the biggest entertainment influencer we have in Africa’, adding that the context in which Wizkid presented him was disrespectful.
He added that Don Jazzy is not just an ordinary influencer, saying the Mavin Records label boss influenced the music industry when he newly came out with Ricardo Banks, Tiwa Salvage, Korede Bello, Dija and up the new crops of music artistes.
Macaroni said, “Don Jazzy is an influencer and perhaps the biggest entertainment influencer we have in Africa. He is such a massive influencer in the entertainment industry, from music to film.
“His impact speaks volumes. So, while Wizkid’s comments about Don Jazzy were a bit disrespectful in context, Don Jazzy’s influence is undeniable.
“Look at when he has been doing it with the likes of D’Banj, Wande Coal, Dr Sid, De Prince and then to Maving Records when they newly came out with Ricardo Banks, Tiwa Salvage, Korede Bello, Di’ja and up to this new generation.”
He said Don Jazzy has been so successful that there can never be a discussion around shaping the music industry without mentioning him.
The comedian also described Don Jazzy as a champion and great influence whose impact is undeniable on the growth of the music industry.
“Don Jazzy is a champion. Of course, he’s an influencer; he’s a great influencer. He doesn’t do it for just music; he does it for content and films. All you need is just to add Don Jazzy as a collaborator. You don’t even need to have a million followers. If he loves what you have done, he will just accept your request and the millions of followers that he has can see the content.
“But, the way Wizkid worded it (influencer) when he (Wizkid) said “I can’t chat with an influencer.’ That context is what we find disrespectful,” he added.

It’s shameful for Wizkid, Davido, Kizz Daniel, Tekno to fight online, says Paulo Okoye
Paulo Okoye, the showbiz promoter, has slammed Afrobeats heavyweights over their recent feud on social media.
The chaos began on Monday when Wizkid taunted Davido and Don Jazzy, referring to the latter as an “influencer” and poking fun at the former with a video clip.
The singer’s posts attracted criticism from a segment of social media users, including celebrities.
Davido retaliated, labeling Wizkid’s career as “dead”.
Amid the ongoing exchange, Kizz Daniel and Tekno also traded jabs over their collaboration on the hit song ‘Buga’.
The ‘My G’ singer dug a two-week-old tweet by Tekno where he dismissed reports of receiving N1 billion in royalties from ‘Buga’ and subtly insinuated that Kizz Daniel lacked the means to pay such an amount.
In response, the Kizz Daniel taunted Tekno, claiming he “rescued” his career with their collaboration.
On Tuesday, Okoye took to Instagram to express his disappointment with the musicians. He called their behaviour “shameful” and appealed for peace.
“This going to STOP now!!This Shameful!!GrowUpMEN!!! Please STOP. @wizkidayo @davidoYou guys bigger than This Stop. Also @kizzdaniel @teknomiles STOP STOP Let’s Love Lead,” he wrote.
