Girl Post Intimate Pictures With David O on Twitter




She goes by the name of Sonia and she is a Nigerian studying in Ghana. Sonia sent twitter buzzing when she released photos of herself and one of Nigeria's newest music sensations Davido in what could be described as an intimate setting.


In one picture Sonia could be seen kissing the 'then asleep' Davido while in another, she licks his tatoo.
Ever since the pictures came out, Sonia has been under heavy attacks from people mostly angry  fans of the music sensation with one fan wishing her dead.


This incident quickly brings to remembrance the 'Wande Coal' Saga as well as the Wiz Kid sandal.
Maybe in future, celebrities should be more careful with the way they conduct their liaisons with fans.

Paula, Nicole join Steve Jones in X factor Exit

Paula, Steve, Nicole


Just as people were trying to get over the shock of X factor presenter Steve Jones, leaving the show, another shocker was dealt by Fox: Judges Paula Abdul & Nicole Scherzinger will not be returning  for the next season of the show as well.
Word has it that Paula was fired due to her inability to put any of her contestants in the finals while Nicole faced heavy backlash due to her role in the elimination of one of the competition's favorites, Rachel Crow.
Nothing has been said about who will be replacing the trio but we hope whosoever they are, they have the huge task of both making and keeping the next season interesting and entertaining.



D'banj To Wed in July


Kokolets seriously hoping to be D'banj's 'Mrs' will not find this gist funny at all. Word has it that the Mo Hits 'golden boy' will be getting married this July.

According to ascology.com, 'The Kokomaster' as fans fondly call him is said to have been engaged to a longtime 'best lover' according to the very close relative and that plans are on the way for a showdown ceremony.
"It's not something I can really relate to as I'm not officially inclined to, but it's been paired with his album release time sometimes in July, believe me it's going to be the biggest of weddings" the source who spoke on condition of anonymity said.

The next question that would be on a lot of lips is 'Is the lucky lady Nollywood screen goddess Genevieve Nnaji? Or an anonymous girl who would surprise us?' 

We shall see.
