Zambia blocks Koffi Olomide, Will arrest Musician upon Arrival

Popular rhumba musician Koffi Olomide has been barred from entering Zambia because of the many criminal allegations against him in the southern African country, and France.

 

They include allegations of assaulting a photojournalist in Zambia during a previous tour.

He has also been accused of sexually assaulting his dancers, kidnapping them and employing them without valid permits in France.

The French embassy in Zambia had asked the local authorities to arrest Congolese rhumba star Koffi Olomide for various allegations.

Following the appeal, Zambian media quoted Religious Affairs minister Godfridah Sumaili saying the singer would be arrested upon arrival.

Olomide, a regular in Zambia, was due to hold two shows this month.

French ambassador Sylvain Berger said Olomide was facing a number of charges both in Zambia and France.

The rhumba maestro is wanted on suspicion of sexually assaulting dancers, kidnapping and employing them in France without a permit and facilitating their entry and illegal stay.

It is not the first time Olomide is finding himself in the eye of a storm in Zambia. He, in January 2013, assaulted a Zambian photojournalist and had to flee across the border to avoid arrest.

Congolese Singer Koffi Olomide

Koffi Olomide is due to perform in Zimbabwe on August 3 at the Harare International Conference Centre, with indications showing that the promoter Sound Blaze Productions would now have to go it alone, Koffi’s huge travelling cost has put them in quandary.

Mapao, as his fans fondly refer to him, was infamously deported from Kenya in July 2016 for kicking one of his dancers at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).

The musician spent the night at police cells at the airport before being deported to Kinshasa where he was charged with the crime and jailed for three months, commuted down from 18 months on President Joseph Kabila’s intervention.

He was, however, released on bail after five days. Olomide apologised to Kenyans for his behaviour.

But even at home, the 62-year-old bad boy is never far from controversies. He was in August 2012 given a three-month suspended prison sentence for assaulting his producer.

The sentence followed his arrest after the fracas at a hotel in Kinshasa.

Earlier in 2001, security personnel in Kinshasa dragged Koffi out of his Mercedes Benz Compressor and frog-marched in public after he had defied being flagged do

We too Couldn’t recognise Pokello in a Wedding dress

The weather in Zimbabwe has been a little unfriendly, so as we were trying to figure out who had messed with our sun we got the shock of our lives — Pokello in a wedding dress.

 

It was an Instagram moment that dropped out jaws, made us gasp and got us to say, “Holy cow!

Not only did Pokello look absolutely gorgeous, she looked totally unrecongisable in those wedding dress pictures she posted.

We are used to Pokello in short hair, but there she was in long hair, ice-white gown with an infectious bridal smile.

She captioned the below picture ‘Not only will I wear White, I’m wearing a veil that will cover my Face too, with Red lipstick.’

Although there were one or two of her fans who got confused and actualy thought the queen of swagger had tied the knot — again..many were quick to recongise it as an advert.

One comment had us in stitches though @thechichi_obi wrote ‘Cardi b twin sister!’

Check out the fabulous shoot

Breastfeeding Model causes stir on Catwalk!!

A Sports Illustrated model caused a stir as she strutted down the runway at their latest fashion show – while breastfeeding her baby.

 

Stunning Mara Martin turned heads for many reasons as she hit the catwalk in Miami on Monday, along with five-month-old daughter Aria.

The mum was dressed in a revealing gold bikini that was strategically lowered on the right side, allowing Aria to feed.

The tiny baby sported a special pair of noise cancelling headphones for her modelling debut, to avoid her being startled by the cheers of support from the crowd.

Newcomer Mara was picked to appear in the show after winning over the magazine bosses at an open casting call.

And thanks to her head-turning stunt, Mara stole the show with onlookers cheering in support and clambering to take pictures.

But later when a clip from the show was shared to the Sports Illustrated Instagram page, it became clear social media users were greatly divided – with some slamming it as a ‘pathetic stunt.’

Proud mum Mara beamed with delight as she carried her daughter in her arms Picture/Backgrid

What this means is nothing is sacred anymore…NOTHING!” fired one.

“I’m not against breastfeeding but she shouldn’t do it on a runway,” commented another.

“Not the time or place for that. Should be private, not everything belongs on social media,” added a third.

However, many followers stuck up for Mara.

“Wow so cute❤️ she looks freakin amazing for just having a baby!” praised one.

While another reasoned: “Time= when baby is hungry. Place = wherever baby & mama are.”

Reebok continues its streak of partnerships with famous faces with the announcement of its newest campaign star: Danai Gurira of “Black Panther” and “The Walking Dead” fame.

Gurira joins Reebok’s growing female roster — Gal Gadot, who teamed up the brand in March, Gigi Hadid and Ariana Grande — for an upcoming women’s campaign later this year.

Danai brings with her a unique intensity that’s already inspired countless women to discover their own strength,” said Todd Krinsky, GM of Reebok Performance in an official statement.

“We’re thrilled to have her join our family and help lead this inspiring coalition.”

For Reebok, Gurira will apply her activism towards championing the beneficial relationship between physical and mental strength.

“My goal is to work with Reebok to galvanize women in all communities to find strength within themselves so that we may continue to lead this cultural revolution. Each one of us should be hero to each other.”

“This specific update is focused on followers because it is one of the most visible features on our service and often associated with account credibility,” Vijaya Gadde, Twitter’s legal, policy, and trust and safety lead, wrote in a blog post.

Basketball star Shaquille O’Neal also lost about a million from his 15.3 million followers, and Oprah lost about 1.4 million followers, the Times reports.

Politicians felt the slash too. Barack Obama lost over 2 million followers from his previous 103.63 million, leaving him at 101 million, while President Donald Trump lost 340,000 followers, taking him from 53.4 million to 53.1 million.

Adrian TATE’s remix of Beautiful Ndozvandiri will have you crushing on Self

That moment when you get defeated by believing what people say and think about you? Yah we all have been there!

But then there’s that one song that always has the power to change your mood and ultimately how you feel about yourself.

Adrian TATE just made a perfect remix to an already perfect song Beautiful Ndozvandiri which was originally performed by Tamy Moyo, Takura and Dobba Don.

When Tamy dropped the song in January last year we called it ‘a song that every black girl needs to hear’ 

Now the song has been given a new life and meaning all together ‘It’s now a song EVERYBODY needs to hear’
