Karen Igho is not engaged?

About a week ago, the BBA winner tweeted 'he proposed', 'he said Karen will you marry' and then she tweeted an engagement ring, kinda indicating she was engaged
but it seems from a press release I just received from her media people that she's not really engaged...at least not to a man...:-)


Yes, Karen is Engaged

D'banj Accused of Credit Card Fraud!


Allhiphop.com is one of the biggest hip hop news site in the US. Here's what they wrote about D'banj and his break up with Don Jazzy:
Ever since Kanye West signed African artists, D’banj and Don Jazzy, to his G.O.O.D Music label, the former friends and business partners have been at odds with one another.

In a recent interview, D’banj opened up about the ongoing feud between him and Don Jazzy, and mentioned that he would never cheat Don Jazzy knowing that JJC (of JJC and the 419 Squad) had cheated Don Jazzy in the past.

Well, JJC has caught wind of D’banj’s interview and is alleging that D’banj has committed credit card fraud, as well as talking about D’banj’s “419″ past and his escape from the police as the inspiration for his “Mobolowo won” video.
