A few days ago Consequence took to his IG page to address the controversy surrounding his former collaborator and friend, Kanye, and in a 12-minute clip called out everyone affiliated with Ye’s label and wondered, “Where is everybody else at?!” After proclaiming his loyalty to Kanye and saying he’d always stand by him regardless of anything, Consequence continued to wonder, “I’m the only person that got a check with Ye?

Unfortunately for Cons, he was already inked to his cousin’s imprint, The Ummah. Related Stories “At one point, when I was still signed to Q-Tip… I was supposed to sign to Roc-A-Fella. ...

Colonel Umar: Blame President Buhari for separatist agitations
Former Military Administrator of Kaduna State Colonel Abubakar Umar (rtd) has blamed President Muhammadu Buhari and the Federal Government for separatist agitations threatening national unity. The current administration, he said, has failed to unite the country.

Coronavirus figures mount in Tokyo ahead of Olympics
The July 23 commencement date for the summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, is under increasing threats from a steady rise in daily cases of the coronavirus in the city.

Senator Ayogu Eze not suspended – APC
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the purported suspension of former senator representing Enugu North senatorial district, Senator Ayogu Eze, describing it as a ruse. A former chairman of Ward 7, Mr. Nwokedi Ugwuoke, had circulated information on alleged suspension of Sen. Eze. Reacting to this, APC State Caretaker Chairman, Enugu State, Dr. Ben Nwoye, in a letter to the party’s National Chairman and governor of Yobe State, Buni Mai Mala, said the former chairman of Senator Eze’s Ward 7 had no power to suspend anybody. While asking the APC and the general public to ignore the purported suspension of Eze, he said the APC was investigating Ugwuoke and will soon apply appropriate sanction against him. He said the alleged suspension of the former senator was laughable and of no...
