February 3, 2025 Very Dark Man Pledges to Investigate Mercy Chinwo and Ex-Manager’s Dispute

Very Dark Man Pledges to Investigate Mercy Chinwo and Ex-Manager’s Dispute

Activist Vincent Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has pledged to investigate allegations of fraud, forgery, and music royalty theft leveled against gospel music executive Ezekiel Thankgod, also known as Eezee Tee.

VDM’s decision to look into the matter comes amid growing controversy surrounding the record label boss, who has faced multiple accusations from former signees, including claims of contract forgery, manipulation, rights theft, and financial mismanagement.

In a statement, VDM admitted he initially had no interest in the issue but felt compelled to take action after analyzing the situation.

“I will go find what I need to find,” he declared, adding, “I have seen the claims and counterclaims, and I want to know what really happened.”

The activist also raised concerns over alleged attempts to control the narrative by paying bloggers to influence public opinion.

Expressing skepticism about certain media reports, he vowed to carry out an independent investigation.

“I will analyze the full video. Some people may not be happy about it, but it is what it is,” he stated.

February 3, 2025 Beyoncé Wins Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter

Beyoncé Wins Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter

Beyoncé won her first-ever Album of the Year Grammy on Sunday, securing the prestigious award for her groundbreaking country album, Cowboy Carter.

The 43-year-old music icon triumphed over stiff competition, including Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish, to claim the night’s top honor. The win marks a long-awaited moment of recognition for Beyoncé, the most nominated and decorated artist in Recording Academy history, who had previously been overlooked for the award.

“It’s been many, many years,” Beyoncé said while accepting the prize, dedicating it to Linda Martell, a pioneering Black woman in country music who also performed on the album. “I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors.”

This was the fifth time one of her albums had been nominated for Album of the Year, with previous losses to Taylor Swift, Beck, Adele, and Harry Styles. Beyoncé is also the first Black woman in the 21st century to win the award, and only the fourth overall, following Lauryn Hill in 1999, Natalie Cole, and Whitney Houston.

Cowboy Carter is a genre-blending, historically rooted country album that honors Beyoncé’s Southern heritage. As the second act in her Renaissance trilogy, the 27-track record amplifies the conversation about Black artists' long-standing influence in country music and the racism they continue to face in the genre.

Beyoncé entered the night with 11 nominations, leading the field in multiple categories, including pop, country, Americana, and melodic rap performance. By the end of the ceremony, she had taken home three awards—Album of the Year, Best Country Album, and Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Miley Cyrus.

 

February 1, 2025 Actor Stanley Ontop Accuses Naira Marley Over Lil Smart’s Disappearance

Actor Stanley Ontop Accuses Naira Marley Over Lil Smart’s Disappearance

Popular movie producer Stanley Ontop has publicly called out singer Naira Marley following the sudden disappearance of Nigerian dancer Lil Smart.

This development comes just two months after Lil Smart raised concerns about threats to his life. On December 9, 2024, he made a distressing post online, urging the public to hold Naira Marley and Zinoleesky accountable if anything happened to him.

Shortly after his alarming post, Lil Smart officially submitted a petition against Naira Marley and Zinoleesky to the police, seeking justice through legal channels.

However, in a recent turn of events, Stanley Ontop took to Instagram on Friday to allege that Lil Smart had been illegally detained for over five days in Lagos.

He wrote:
"@lilsmart has been arrested by unknown persons in Lagos. Why are you people stressing this boy for no reason? He has been detained for five days, and his location remains undisclosed.

@nairamarleyworld and @zinoleesky, what’s going on? I hope this isn’t what I’m thinking. Why are you oppressing this young boy? Free Lil Smart. Free Lil Smart."

The situation has sparked widespread concern among fans and the entertainment industry, with many demanding transparency regarding Lil Smart’s whereabouts.

January 31, 2025 Prosecutors Accuse Diddy Combs of Trafficking Three Women in 20-Year Abuse Scheme

Prosecutors Accuse Diddy Combs of Trafficking Three Women in 20-Year Abuse Scheme

Prosecutors revealed on Thursday that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trafficked at least three women over the course of his 20-year sexual abuse scheme. The accusations were made as part of a new criminal indictment filed against the hip-hop mogul, who is currently incarcerated.

The three-count indictment does not introduce any new charges, but it does allege that Combs transported three female victims, including commercial sex workers, across state lines and internationally.

This new indictment expands upon the original one filed in September, which identified just one female victim.

Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to the first set of charges, and prosecutors are requesting that he be arraigned again. His trial is scheduled for May 5 in Manhattan federal court.

In response, Combs' lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, stated: “Mr. Combs is as committed as ever to fighting these charges and winning at trial.”

The indictment includes charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. According to prosecutors from the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office, Combs used his business empire—including his record label, Bad Boy Entertainment—to exploit women sexually.

The alleged abuse included coercing women to participate in recorded sexual performances, referred to as “freak offs,” with male sex workers, some of whom were reportedly transported across state lines.

The new indictment also accuses Combs of abusing his employees and those who witnessed acts of violence. Prosecutors claim he enticed women with drugs such as ketamine, ecstasy, and methamphetamines, in addition to offering financial support, promises of career advancement, or romantic relationships.

Additionally, psychedelic mushrooms were added to the list of drugs allegedly distributed by Combs and his associates.

While the victims have not been identified by name, one is believed to be Combs’ former girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie (Casandra Ventura). Cassie previously filed a civil lawsuit accusing Combs of physical abuse, sexual slavery, and rape, but settled shortly after the lawsuit was filed. Combs has denied these allegations.

Prosecutors also referenced a 2016 hotel security video that shows Combs allegedly striking and dragging a woman who attempted to leave one of the “freak offs.” Combs publicly apologized after CNN aired the video last May, though his lawyer has argued that the footage does not constitute evidence of sex trafficking.
