Jay Z cried when he found out his mother is a lesbian
American rapper, Jay Z, has admitted he cried when his mother, Gloria Carter, revealed to him that she was in love with another woman.
In 2017, Jay Z’s mother came out as a lesbian and the development inspired him to write ‘Smile’, a track on his ‘4:44’ album.
According to him, he had previously known that his mother was gay, but they talked about it for the first time eight months ago while he was working on the album.
Jay-Z said this in an interview with David Letterman on his new Netflix show ‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction’.
“For her to sit in front of me and tell me ‘I think I love someone’ … I really cried.
“I cried because I was so happy for her that she was free.
“I don’t even believe in crying because you’re happy. I don’t even know what that is. What is that?” he said.
In the song ‘Smile’, Gloria Carter revealed to the world that she is gay in a speech about what it was like for her to live a lie.
“Imagine having lived your life for someone else.
“And you think you’re protecting your kids. And for my mother to have to lived as someone that she wasn’t and hide and like, protect her kids — and didn’t want to embarrass her kids, and you know, for all this time,” Jay Z added.

I Wish To Have Children Of My Own – Weird MC
Nigerian female rap artiste Shola Idowu, popularly known as Weird MC says she would love to have two kids, admitting that she is a lover of kids.
In a chat with rap artiste who is currently in the UK, the 47 year-old entertainer mentioned that she would still love to have children of her own because she is a lover of kids.
Speaking with Saturday Beats, She said, “Right now, I am open to love, the love of God. All I would say is that everything would happen as he wills.
Regarding having children, I came through someone, so someone has to come through me. I love kids a lot. I would love to have two.
“Growing up, there were six of us in the family, three boys and three girls; I do not know what the will of God is but I would love to have two children, a boy and a girl.”
The rap artiste was quick to affirm the news that she is now a born-again Christian.
She, however, noted that her love for God would only change her dress sense but not her music or fan base.

How I begged Davido to use condom but he refused – Alleged babymama
It was reported that the singer impregnated the lady in 2013, but told her to keep it.
But Davido reacted to the report on his twitter handle, @iam-Davido, saying the baby does not belong to him.
He also threatened to sue the Punch Newspaper for reporting lies about him.
But in a new development, the lady has opened up to the newspaper, recalling what they did before sex, how he allegedly made love to her twice before they break of dawn and how the singer is not a fan of wearing condoms during sex.
She said, “I was shocked that Davido said he gave me money. I saw where he said he sent money to my family and that is a lie.
“The question I would ask is that what account did he pay the money into? He should bring out the bank teller. He has never given me money.
“If they said they have given me money, there would be a record or evidence and they should bring it out. Even when we had sex, he never gave me money for transport.
“David is a very stingy person and I would not be the first person saying this. I have heard it from different girls, David is very stingy.
“The reason I slept with him the first time we met was because I just wanted to catch my fun.
“The day we met at the club, Ebevande, I was with my friends, I did not really know him then but I just knew he was an artiste.
“I went out with my female friends; we had like a ladies night out; then one of his bouncers came to meet me and told me that his boss wanted to see me. I actually thought it was the owner of the club that wanted to see me.
“When I got to where they were, I noticed that it was David and he was with B. Red. I greeted both of them, B. Red did not respond but David did and we talked. He collected my pin and asked me to return to my seat.
“When they were about to leave, the bouncer came to meet me again and informed me that they wanted to leave. My friends thought we were all going together but when we all got to the car, he asked my friends to go back. He said that I was the one he wanted to see.
“We went to the Genesis Hotel. When we got to the room, we talked for a long while before we had sex. He is a very jovial person and he loves talking. He made me laugh a lot and we talked at length. B. Red was in the other room.
“I insisted that he should protect himself by wearing a condom before sex but he refused. He said that he does HIV test every two weeks. Then I asked him how sure he was that I did not have any disease but he said he was very sure I did not have a disease.
“After he had said all that, I told him to just do what he wanted to do and allow me go home in the morning. That night, he had sex with me twice.
“You would know he was in the mood to have sex that night and it lasted for a while. He has a big manhood and it hurt me a little. The second time was when he noticed I was leaving in the morning and he just wanted to have sex with me again.
“The second time, the sex did not last long because he was very tired and he did not even know when I left the hotel. I do not drink or smoke but David drinks and smokes. He drank and smoked in the club.
“I am very sure he is the father of my child because I did not have a boyfriend when we met. I had some male friends but it was just a platonic relationship I had with them and nothing serious.
“I don’t jump from one bed to another and that is why I am very bold and certain that he is the father of my child. If I had been sleeping around, I would not be that bold to talk.
“All I want is for Davido to step forward for another DNA test; even if the result shows that Davido is the father of my child, I doubt mutual love would co-exist between them because of the way he has treated her all these years.
“I just want him to take up his responsibility but I heard he is not ready for another DNA. My mother has gone to a lawyer and we would eventually go to court because I know we have a good case.
“I was told that even if David does not want to step out for a DNA, any of his siblings could step in for him.
“Once everything is settled, I just want him to take care of his daughter but there cannot be mutual love between us. Even the way he talks to me cannot allow for mutual love.”
Meanwhile, Davido has not responded to the development yet.

Salawa Abeni: Singer Narrates How She Was Paralyzed For 6 Years And Lost Her Son
No wonder little or nothing was heard about Ibiwunmi Salawa Abeni for some years until lately. Salawa in an exclusive chat with LoveHaven Magazine, disclosed she was on sick bed for 6 years! Paralysed actually! And it was shortly after she lost one of her sons, Olanrewaju.
She also spoke about how friends deserted her and glad GOD finally restored her. It’s such a touching story, but thank GOD it has a happy ending!
Why were you off the entertainment scene for some years?
I was ill for like five or six years. It started in 2008 and I didn’t recover until six years after. I was not performing on stage and other social events. Suddenly, I became terribly ill and couldn’t go out.
I could not think of work because I could not walk—I was paralysed. All I thought of then was getting back on my feet. I kept praying to Allah to help me catch up with the lost years. Continue…
What was the nature of the illness?
I cannot really explain what happened but it was paralysis and was extremely bad. I could neither walk nor do anything. I thank Almighty Allah because not everyone could go through what I went through and still survive.
Thank GOD for my siblings, my children, my band boys, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former Governor Fashola and now Governor Ambode, who later took the responsibilities upon him after my recovery.
To be out of work as an entertainer for six years is no joke. My band boys stood by me and they didn’t go! It’s not easy to hold down band boys for five/six years and think they would still work for you.
But what was going through your mind on your sick bed?
Then, I kept asking GOD and myself how was I going to make it again? How and when would I recover? Would I ever walk again? Is this how Ibiwunmi Salawa Abeni would end? Would everything be restored again? It was a trying time because I sold all that I had due to the illness.
Did you call out to friends and fans?
The illness started briefly and we all thought I would be fine in no time. Of course I had friends and initially I didn’t even think of calling out because I thought it would soon be over. But when it became unbearable and I started selling off my things—houses, cars, jewellery etc— I started calling out to friends. It was a challenging time for me but thank GOD, I’m fully back and restored now.
What do you think must have triggered off the illness?
Well, I think it started when I lost my son, Lanre. I started having high blood pressure and then other symptoms cropped up. In my sick bed, I knew I would not die because my late mum, who was alive then would pray for me and say I would be the one to bury her and not vice versa. She died two years ago at 98 years old.
It must have been a tough time for you and your family?
Yes, it was. I started to sing as a teenager and I had hustled, suffered and when I was about feeding fat on the proceeds of my labour, the devil struck. I prayed and kept telling GOD that He should allow me eat the fruits of my labour. At a point, everything was exhausted including money.
That was when I started calling people to give me money. Some responded, some didn’t and would ignore my call. They were like, ‘Salawa is ill, she needs money, that’s why she is calling.’ I cried but I kept trusting GOD.
What about your fans? Weren’t they worried that you were out of reach?
They became worried and kept sending messages via text messages and through the social media. I was flown abroad at a stage and when I returned and was still recuperating, I saw some of my fans who asked me if I was still singing again.
I was hurt! I knew I was far behind but I kept telling GOD to help me. Many of my fans who knew me when I was a teenager, to becoming a wife, mother and now grandmother stood by me and said, ‘we would do everything to see that you don’t die with your talent.’
My children also stood by me. I prayed to Almighty Allah that after the death of Idris Olanrewaju, GOD should never allow me see the death of any child again. He should allow me eat the fruit of my labour—these children are GOD’s gifts to me.
How did you sail through this trying period?
GOD sent me helpers. I would forever remain grateful to Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu—he is a father. His mother, Mama Abibatu Mogaji was my mum. I knew mama when I was very young.
I was at the bandstand when she was 70, 75 and 80 years respectively. Mama would cook and send stews and soups to me. Mama would give me money. She treated me like a child. As old as Mama was when she saw that I could not walk again, she would send people to pray for me and always checked on me.
Then, there was Alhaji Ayinde Barrister, who was a pillar of support for me. I called and told him, ‘Dad, I slept and woke up seeing myself this way.’ I called him Daddy and he requested for my home address after the call.
He came to my house and immediately he entered, I started weeping. Alhaji Barrister said, ‘Ibiwunmi, don’t cry because I know you would be the one to bury me, not the other way round.’ The father-daughter love between us has extended to his children, who love me to bits. He was a good father.
Did you reach out to other musicians?
Some ran away, some didn’t even pick my calls. After my recovery, some told me that they didn’t know where I was and could not locate me. During my illness, I learnt this— learn to help one another. It’s foolhardy to wait for a fellow artiste to die before donating money for burial or to give to the family.
Render help while someone is alive and don’t shed crocodile tears at burial. I don’t pray for anyone to be ill or die—it’s terrible. But then, I never took offence in anyone. I was just praying to GOD to restore me.
Were you so close to your son that his death hit you to the extent of being ill?
The problem started when I lost Lanre. I lost everything with him— the volumes 1- 15 of my LPs are still with his late father’s recording company and none is ready to release them to me. His death was a big blow. I didn’t know I would survive.
He was the only bond between his late father, Lati Adepoju, and I. My concern now is to get my career back. Though many of my fans know that I am back and they are supporting me, I don’t want my career to perish.
I desire to be old and be a legend, whose music would outlive her. I am still a young woman, my children are still young but I want my career to soar and make impact in the lives of younger generations. I know Salawa Abeni is a talent that can’t be wasted.
After your recuperation, what and where was your first performance?
It was a burial party in Lagos. I was not feeling too fine but then, I managed and sat down throughout my performance. After the party I wept.
I knew my voice was intact, the composition of songs was okay but I could not perform as Queen Salawa Abeni. I prayed and told GOD, ‘this is not Ibiwunmi, help restore my energy and vitality.’ GOD did that and I can now dance and stand throughout any performance.
