Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington revealed on Monday that he narrowly escaped an alleged assassination attempt. He shared the shocking incident with his followers on X, saying it occurred early Monday morning while he was driving back from a club in Victoria Island, Lagos.

The claim follows his recent release from detention at Kuje prison, where he had been held on undisclosed charges. In a video posted on his Instagram, Darlington showed his car, which had been shot at multiple times by unknown gunmen, leaving significant damage and visible bullet holes on the rear of the vehicle.

He captioned the post, "Long face sent killers my way, and I have not even posted anything. Bro, is this necessary? You tried to take my life. Really?" visibly shaken. Darlington added, "I never said anything, yet he's sending killers. What is he scared of! That means I’m right."

South African media personality Kefilwe Mabote has opened up about her decision to burn her expensive designer clothes after dedicating her life to Christ. The move sparked widespread debate after she shared a video of the act on social media, with many questioning why she destroyed the clothes instead of donating them to those in need.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Mabote explained that her decision was rooted in her faith. She cited biblical teachings, emphasizing that such items are considered “accursed” and should not be passed on to others.

"I’ve been getting questions about why I chose to burn Versace items instead of giving them away, and I want to take a moment to explain with care and understanding,” she wrote. “The decision to burn the items came from a place of conviction. According to the Bible, such things are considered ‘accursed’ (see Joshua 7:13 for context). For example, the image of Medusa represents a Greek god from the marine kingdom, and as believers, we cannot serve two masters.”

Mabote expressed that giving the clothes away would go against her conscience, as she believes they carry significant spiritual implications. “I can’t, in good conscience, transfer things that I know carry deep spiritual implications,” she added.

Her bold action has drawn both criticism and praise, with some applauding her unwavering commitment to her faith and others questioning the practicality of her choice.
