Stevie J & Nick Cannon Bang Heads After Stevie Says he Banged Nick's Ex-wife Mariah Carey, Twice
Nick Cannon and a guest on his show, reality star Stevie J nearly came to blows after Stevie said during their rap battle that he banged Nick's ex-wife Mariah Carey not once but twice.
According to TMZ... Nick Cannon got more than he bargained for when some "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" stars went on his show and one bragged about banging his estranged wife. Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez were guests on "Wild 'N Out" Monday when the 2 ex-lovebirds squared off during the rap battle against Nick and his crew.
It started out all fun and games, but got progressively nasty. At one point Stevie J said he banged Mariah Carey not once but twice. Nick got pissed off, and then told Stevie J he should worry about Joseline because she was sleeping with Rick Ross. It got down and dirtier, to the point Nick threatened the old Hollywood adage, "You'll never work in this town again," because he has so many TV shows and connections.
Eyewitnesses tell us it looked like they were about to come to blows, so producers stepped in, separated them and calmed them down. The picture we got tells part of the story.
EFCC Seizes N5bn Houses of Ex-NAF Chief, Amosu, Others
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has seized houses and other properties said to be owned by the immediate past Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu (retd.), and other senior military officers worth as much as N5billion.
The properties, which were seized in the Ikoyi, Ikeja and Badagry areas of Lagos, allegedly belonged to Amosu; the immediate past Chief of Accounts and Budgeting of the Nigerian Air Force, Air Vice Marshal J.B. Adigun; and Air Commodore O. O. Gbadebo, who was the Director of Finance and Budget at NAF.
A senior EFCC official revealed that the suspects and others are now cooperating fully with the anti-graft agency after seeing real evidence.
The source, who spoke to PUNCH in Abuja, said, “We have sealed a block of 12 luxury flats, located on Agodogba Street, Park View Estate, Ikoyi, belonging to Adigun. It is worth over N1.7bn. The same Adigun also owns another block of luxury flats on Sinari Daranijo Street, Victoria Island, Lagos. It is worth N1.8bn.
“A parcel of land, located on Bourdillon Drive, Ikoyi, worth N908m, belonging to Adigun has also been seized by the EFCC operatives.”
The source added that six other properties had been traced to Adigun, including a set of four terrace houses on Agede Street, off Aminu Kano in the Wuse 2 area of Abuja.
He stated that the properties traced to Amosu were located in the Ikeja area of Lagos metropolis.
The operative said apart from the buildings, Amosu’s vehicles had also been confiscated by the anti-graft agency.
He added, “Amosu confessed to owning an ultra-modern hospital on Adeniyi Jones Avenue in Ikeja. The hospital, St Solomon Health Care Limited, which is worth about N85m, has been sealed off.
“A house located on Adeyemo Alakija Street, GRA Ikeja, near the Ghanaian High Commission, which belongs to Amosu has also been sealed. It is worth over N200m.
“Amosu, who is from Badagry, also built a house in the area. That house has also been sealed off. I cannot state the worth of the house for now.
“We have also seized a bulletproof Toyota Sports Utility Vehicle and a Toyota Avalon, belonging to Amosu. He is cooperating with us.”
The detective said six other properties had been traced to Amosu, including in Harmony Estate in Abuja.
The EFCC source said a block of flats, belonging to Gbadebo, had also been seized.
“Gbadebo was the assistant to Adigun. He is also helping with investigation. He owns a block of eight two-bedroomed flats in a border town between Lagos and Ogun states. He also has a fish pond in the compound. The building has also been sealed off,” he said.
Till date, EFCC detectives are still tracing and sealing off other properties.
Amosu and over 10 senior officers are being probed by the EFCC as part of investigations into the $2.1bn arms scam, especially the 10 contracts of the NAF, said to be worth $930,500,690.00.
Also, the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, is still with EFCC.
Taraba Governorship Election : Aisha Alhassan Loses Out as Supreme Court Upholds Election of Ishaku
The Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Al-Hassan, has lost her bid to govern Taraba State as the Supreme court today upheld the election of the state governor, Darius Ishaku.
Al-Hassan had approached the Apex court to set aside the Court of Appeal Abuja's ruling on Dec. 31st 2015 that upheld the election of Ishaku.
The Supreme Court in its ruling today, said the state election tribunal had no power to nullify Ishaku's election because he was not validly nominated by the PDP.
The apex court stressed that the issue of nomination of a candidate by a political party “is clearly a pre-election matter which no tribunal has the jurisdiction to entertain”.
The court ruled that neither APC nor its candidate, Alhassan, had the requisite locus-standi to query the outcome of the PDP governorship primary election that produced Ishaku. The appellate court said contention on whether the PDP rightly or wrongly conducted its governorship primary election, did not fall within matters that could be entertained by an election petition tribunal.
