Celebrities / Jay-z ‘admits’ Cheating On Beyonce, Confirms His Mum, Gloria Carter Is Lesbian by mrfree(m): 2:55pm On Jul 04, 2017 |
American rapper, Jay Z has confirmed his mother, Gloria Carter is a lesbian as well as admitting that he had cheated on Beyonce. The Roc Nation boss made the revelations in his new album, “4:44” that was released in the wee hours of this morning. The 4:44 album was dropped exclusively on Tidal, a music streaming service owned by Jay Z and some other music artists. The rapper uses the album, being his 13th studio album to really make some personal revelations. In it, Jay Z revealed that he cheated on Beyonce and that it affected her and their child, Blue Ivy. He said it took Blue being born for him to realize the value of his marriage. Addressing the 2014 elevator fight with his sister-in-law Solange, Jay Z confirmed in the “Kill Jay Z” track that she attacked him because he cheated on her sister and refused to acknowledge his fault. He rapped, “You egged Solange on. Knowin’ all along, all you had to say you was wrong.” Jay Z, however, expressed remorse for cheating on his wife. In the track Family Feud, he makes reference to Becky, a name Beyonce mentioned in one of her songs, “Sorry”, from the Lemonade album when she said, “better call Becky with the good hair.” Jay Z raps: “Yeah, I’ll f*ck up a good thing if you let me / Let me alone, Becky / A man that don’t take care his family can’t be rich.” He continued in the track 4:44 “Look, I apologize, often womanize / Took for my child to be born / See through a woman’s eyes / Took for these natural twins to believe in miracles / Took me too long for this song.” For years, there have been reports that Jay Z’s mother is gay and Jay Z and his mother seem to confirm the reports in the new album. Among the songs in the album is a track called “Smile.” Jay Z’s mother, Gloria Carter, collaborated with her son on this track and they both seem to be telling the world that Gloria has been a lesbian for years but had to remain in the closet. Jay Z rapped, “Mama had four kids, but she’s a lesbian. Had to pretend so long that she’s a thespian. Had to hide in the closet, so she medicate…” Jay Z’s mom who had to raise the rapper and his three siblings on her own, after Jay Z’s dad abandoned them when he was young also recited a poem at the end of the track. http://dailypost.ng/2017/06/30/jay-z-admits-cheating-beyonce-confirms-mum-gloria-carter-lesbian/

President Muhammadu Buhari has assured the Nigeria workers of speedy passage of the new National Minimum Wage.

According to Adeoye, if anything should happen to Buhari, Nigeria will fall into wrong hands that were ready to do anything to turn it into their private estates. 4. Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has insisted that Nigerians make the best jollof rice anywhere in the world.

A former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has stated that the suspended Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Amb. Ayo Oke, did not fund former President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign in 2015. Fani-Kayode said the reports that the $43m (N13bn) found by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in a house in Ikoyi, Lagos, was the remainder of Jonathan’s campaign funds were mere attempts by certain persons to rubbish the suspended NIA’s boss. 6. Former interim National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Bisi Akande, has called on Nigerians to pray for the restoration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s health. Akande said that Nigerians needed to pray for the recovery of the President, whom he said had been fighting corruption seriously since he assumed office. 7.

The Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani has advocated N145,000 as minimum wage for Nigerian civil servants.

He accused the current government of trying to punish him because of his ambition. Source: http://dailypost.ng/2017/05/02/nigerian-newspapers-10-things-need-know-tuesday-morning-81/ |

Senator Ahmed Makarfi, the factional leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said a victory for Ali Modu Sheriff at the Supreme Court will mark the end of the party. Makarfi also said that if his faction is defeated at the apex court, that would end the crisis-ridden opposition party.
