Court fines Oxlade N5m over leaked sex tape

A Lagos court has awarded N5 million damages against Oxlade, the singer, over a leaked sex tape.
The judge, O. A. Oresanya of a high court in Lagos state presided over the matter on Tuesday.
A tape explicitly showing intimate moments between Oxlade and a woman went viral online on February 9, 2022.
The lady featured in the viral tape had filed a suit demanding N20 million in damages.
She said Oxlade recorded their sexual acts without her consent in violation of her fundamental right to dignity.
During the court sitting, Oresanya said the singer leaked the tape online in a “despicable, horrendous, distasteful, and classless” move.
Oresanya reprimanded Oxlade for “treating the judicial process with disrespect” by failing to appear in court.
“The action and attitude of the respondent, who is said to be a celebrity, is despicable, horrendous, distasteful, and classless,” the judge said.
“The respondent is admonished strongly to act with utmost circumspection in his relationship with fellow humans, especially the opposite sex. What goes around comes around. I need not say more.”
E. T. Idemudia and O. S. Mabekoje, the legal representative for the claimant, and U. R. Michael, Oxlade’s legal counsel, agreed to opt for an amicable resolution via a consent judgment.
In the verdict, the judge said Oxlade is to pay damages to the tune of N5 million to the claimant in two installments of N2 million and N3 million.

Police called to Rihanna’s house after man shows up to propose (Photos)

The Los Angles home of Rihanna became a hotspot for police activity on Thursday after a man showed up in the singer’s vicinity with “a proposal.”
The unidentified man from South Carolina was said to have tried to sneak into the singer’s home in Beverly Hills to ask for her hand in marriage.

According to TMZ, Rihanna’s security detail, however, called the police, who arrived at the scene and escorted the man — dressed in a bright red hoodie and sweatpants — out in handcuffs.

It was gathered that since the unnamed man did not get farther than Rihanna’s driveway, he was simply questioned and later released.
It remains to be seen if Rihanna was home at the time of the intrusion.

This is not the first time Rihanna’s home has been targeted by an intruder.
In 2018, a man named Eduardo Leon was arrested inside the singer’s house.

Jamaican DJ, Bounty Killer, says ‘Afrobeats is melodious but has no lyrics’

Rodney Basil Price, the Jamaican disc jockey better known as Bounty Killer, says “Afrobeats is melodious but has no lyrics.”
In a recent interview with INeverKnew TV, the DJ said Afrobeats is “like a baby” compared to Dancehall.
He, however, said the genre is enjoying global recognition because it has “groove and style.”
Bounty Killer also taunted Burna Boy’s hit track ‘Ye’, describing it as a one-word song with “a lot of melodies and nice beat.”
When asked if he believes Dancehall still has a place in the international market, Bounty Killer said the music genre is no longer as creative as it used to be.
The 50-year-old also described Jamaican music as “technically technical” with so many metaphors.
He said the technicality of his country’s music makes it difficult for people in the diaspora to enjoy.
“Afrobeat has nothing to do with Dancehall, Afrobeat is another genre. Afrobeat never comes in competition with Dancehall,” he said.
“Afrobeat is like a baby from Dancehall, it’s irrelative. Afrobeat and Jamaican music are similar and Afro is taking nothing from Dancehall, Afro compliments Dancehall.
“Afro is leading because Afro has a topic, Afro doesn’t have lyrics, Afrobeat doesn’t even have no lyrics. They have a lot of melody and groove and topic.
“Ye Ye Ye, we know what Ye Ye Ye means… just a topic and a melody. Style, melody, topic, simple. One word with a lot of melodies and the beat is nice and full of groove and style.
“Jamaican music is technical with metaphors. Why are you singing to us in metaphor? Make it simply technical, not technically technical. This is all Dancehall music is today – technically technical.
“They’re making the songs like a test. Nobody wants no puzzle music, people want music to relieve stress but we’re giving music to stress.
“Dancehall use to be creative but they’re not creative anymore. That’s Dancehall’s problem. The topics are limited.”
