Flavour N'abania Speaks On Marriage

Nigerian musician Chinedu Okoli known as Flavour N'abania or Flavour speaks on marriage. During an exclusive interview with Myjoyonline.com, Flavour said “Marriage is a serious thing. It’s a decision that when you make its like you are in it or you are not so you don’t need to make the wrong decision. That’s the most important thing.”
“For me, I want to give myself time I don’t want to rush into marriage,” “If you want to marry,” for marrying sake “then it doesn’t make sense. You are not defining marriage and because of the kind of job we do, I hardly stay at home so where I’m going to have the time to give my family? So it is very difficult” , Flavour noted.
“If I was maybe a banker, a CEO of a company or some kind of job it would be very easy,” because I would have just gone to work and
return to my family every day.
“For almost two months now I have not been home so if I had a wife…what will be expected of me? That means I can’t go to work, I have to think about them because I can’t leave them lonely like that,” Flavour added. He says his songs are specifically designed for the ladies.
“The ladies, they like anything attractive, don’t take it away from them; your music, your style,everything [and] your name. So if you are doing something attractive,they will all want to support you because they have that thing in them.” Source: Myjoyonline.com

‘My Wife has dated broke black dudes' - Kanye West

During the BET honours, Kanye West gave a moving speech ,giving tribute to his wife Kim Kardashian ..Talking about the stigma surrounding interracial relationships that he had encountered growing up.
We have to focus on the idea of love and not the idea of separation,'At the barbershop... I used to hear people always talking about, "Man you know when an entertainer get on, of course you know he gon' go and get a white girl and blah blah blah and a white girl gon' get a rich black dude."'
'But I wanna say that my wife has dated broke black dudes. It got nothing to do with the money.'
Kanye then recounted a story about Kim and her late father, Robert Kardashian, after his Bentley was vandalized with 'n***a lover'
scrawled across it, following his high-profile case defending OJ Simpson......
Revealing how a young Kim had asked her father why he had reacted so angrily, he said Robert told Kim: '
One day, you may have a black child…a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful black child…and it’s gonna be hard. You’re gonna see how hard
it is. 'So true enough, we deal with racism because there are different races Or the micro of it is that we focus on the different races as
opposed to the macro, which is the human race.'

T.I & Tiny Get Naughty On Instagram

American hip hop recording artist and actor Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. also known as T.I. wants his fans to know how sexy his wife Tiny is as he decided to share a picture of Tiny in
her underwear on Instagram. See photo below

Why T.I. Thinks Tiny Is Beautiful

At this point, it’s indisputable,
Tiny and T.I. are the 2011 Bonnie
& Clyde. Talk about a “ride or die” chick, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle Harris has stood by her husband T.I.’s side like glue; despite rumors of alleged groupies, multiple jail sentences and ridicule from the media.
According to T.I., Tiny was the bread-winner in the beginning of the relationship and held it down while he pursued his career as “King Of the South.” Tiny is atypical from the many female partners to hip-hop stars we see on television today. As one of the members of the hit 90’s girl group Xscape, Tiny is hard worker who’s earned her own money. She isn’t on television fighting other women in a dramatic, drink-throwing fashion or squandering away her man’s money on shoes and bags.
Tiny and T.I look to promote strong family values on his and her new reality show “The Family Hustle” which airs tonight on VH1.
We caught up with the cute couple on the red carpet of “The Family Hustle” screening where she made her husband blush with embarrassment! “The King” smiles when addressing why they chose to do the show,”We felt that it was best to do this to dispel certain rumors, assumptions and speculations so you can see it for what it is.” When asked what makes Tiny beautiful to him he responded: “I like that she is a strong,loyal, driven person; I appreciate that!” Source: Hellobeautiful.com
