Issue wasn't the outfit as much as Usher serenading Keke IN that outfit ๐
His unchecked insecurities jumped out the plane with no parachute.

If grief makes you turn evil, then maybe, just maybe, you're an evil person inside? I can't go out and kill puppies and blame it on grief. Can't go fly kick toddlers and be like "oh I'm going through a lot''.
They called ndombolo and Amapiano "sub genres of afrobeats"
What madness is this? The audacity. The temerity. The gall.
Find shame
@RecordingAcad
. Find it now.
Afrobeats is a mesmeric blend of
#WestAfrican
and Black American music that has quickly become a global pop phenomenon.
๐ต Here are 5๏ธโฃ widely successful subgenres whose unique rhythms and melodies will instantly grab your ear.
Tanzanian government has been well aware of the issue for years and trying to tackle it, but some men on here acting like women are making these stories up.
Disgusting.

Coca cola comes to mind. The level of public 'woke' gymnastics they did for PR was vomit-inducing.
Promptly went on to support dodgy bills by dodgy politicians AND the whole madness with their custom label website.
They're all yucky.
That Toni Braxton "He Wasn't Man Enough" sample on

's "Last Last" is absolute genius and Burna floated on the track.
A remix ft

Joe did mention Rory and Mal share a lawyer who HELPED the craft their contracts with the JBN.
The issue came when they started trying to audit Joe and contest the actual auditing/accounting firm that manages the books.....despite having signed a contract.
Quite shameful to see black Americans making jokes about Nigeria after J.Cole went there.
These same clowns were all "Wakanda Forever", African pride etc a few weeks ago. Pathetic.
Companies using "interviews" to crowdsource solutions for existing problems and NOT hiring anyone has been going for decades.
We're just hip to it now.
Nigerians know how to red carpet. Statement pieces made by Nigerian designers. No "Sheila fashion style boutique" outfits here.
Cameroonian โ๐พcelebsโ๐พ need to level up. Cameroonian designers and tailors pretending to be designers....level up.
"I wasn't looking for love when we met, sometimes we throw it up just to see what we catch".
Can't remember the last time an artist got my attention with the opening lyrics to every single song on the album.
Still playing the
@SAINtJHN
album every single day.
Older cameroonians ๐ค๐พ not wanting the younger generation to get paid.
Just overheard finance officer ask the marketing director why I should be paid.
"Le travail est bon mais on donne 1.5mill a un jeune comme รงa pour qu'il fasse quoi avec? On va continuer avec l'autre".
Amen.

You can like the way something looks AND not want it. It sounds contradictory but it's not. You can admire the beauty in something while not desiring it.
There's lots of things in life we like but wouldn't want (for a number of reasons).
Cameroonians need to stop using Nigeria as an example when saying Cameroonians should support local artists.
Nigerians support when it's good and don't when it's mediocre.
Davido got killed by most of Naija for his 2nd album. He came back stronger and dominated 2017/2018.
Not this one clowning me for having a skincare routine when his skin looks like the 11th plague. Barely 30 looking like archaeological discovery. Face looking like pestilence and strife.
Talking 'bout "real men don't do xyz". If you don't go and wash last week off your face....
Slavery/colonization ARE NOT African history. They are interruptions to African history.
There is more to African/black history than pain, struggle and suffering.
There is music, art, culture, science.
I chose my words carefully. I didn't say Cameroonians 'refuse' to travel or 'choose' not to travel or even 'should' travel. I said they don't.
The reasons for this lack of travel are mostly economic and we all know this.
Understand what was said, don't project. Thanks.
Honored to host a workshop on branding during Hub of Africa Fashion Week in Addis at the Hyatt Regency - my second time being invited to speak.
So much raw design talent and ability, and a desire to learn. Enjoyed every second of it.

Her constant need to belittle, mock, insult, degrade others shows a lack of confidence/misplaced superiority complex.
She was being disrespectful to other BLACK women during the olympics and after it.
They can miss me with the ''she's going through a lot'' excuse too.
If they can do this in a city like Douala, imagine what goes on in small towns and villages.
Yet people are on this bird app defending and explaining away this demonic brutality. Carry on.
Rien ne peut justifier que les forces chargรฉes du maintien de l'ordre, qui sont en charge de la protection et la sรฉcuritรฉ des citoyens, se comportent comme des brigands en terrorisant les populations.
If Cameroonians travelled more around Africa, they'd realise just how utterly backward, ridiculously underdeveloped and downright farcical the entire Central African region is.
A nation with no vision, run by people who were raised under the banner of colonialism.
The chefs trying to beat Himda's record don't really care about the record, else they would have attempted before she did.
They care about the attention she received. That's what they're really after.

Took most of PND's songs for his album, used Popcaan for island vibes, wouldn't bother appearing in Wizkid's video, was hyped on grime then ghosted, lifted lyrics off a Houston rapper amd passed off as his own....etc
Dude is a parasite that jumps hosts frequently.

Well apparently the mom's tryna hustle for money and her son got "bullied" cuz he called kids the n-word.
Either way, filming your kid crying and setting up a gofundme is low. How does money help in that situation? Fascinating.

Bilingual would mean ALL government services and considerations are offered in both languages and to all people, which we know isn't the case.
The people don't all have to speak both languages for it to be considered bilingual.
Couldn't attend but here are concept designs for the Moulin Rouge thing. The jewelry is still getting made and I might still get this done for another event...gotta find a date though๐ 1/2
Les "designers" qui volent la....
I was actually supposed to attend the Moulin Rouge thing. Had a couple of sketches and custom jewelry designed, but life and work got in the way.
Maybe I should share the sketches on the TL.......or not. Folks been stealing my work in this country for too long ๐
Someone being confident about their abilities shouldn't bother you.
The desire to "humble"/bring others down stems from low self esteem.
Find peace. Heal. Let others be as confident as they want to be.
