When I asked her the motive behind the EBS Sneakers here's what she had to say;

" I wanted to explore my love for shoes and the sneakers are the first of many more designs to come, I believe it is important for individual growth to keep creating and keep expressing myself in every way I can. i'm really excited to be able to share this dream with the world, thanks to everyone for supporting the EBS dream"

P.S: I'm waiting on EBS Sneakers for men.

The 25-year-old "Shake It Off" singer, whose album "1989" has been atop the charts for the past three months, has built a following of young fans through social media and has the fourth-most popular Twitter account with 51.4 million followers.

"My Twitter got hacked but don't worry, Twitter is deleting the hacker tweets and locking my account until they can figure out how this happened and get me new passwords," said a statement posted on Swift's personal Tumblr page.

"Never a dull moment," the statement added before another posting said that Swift's Instagram account had been hacked as well.

Celebrities are frequent targets of hackers who have posted personal and embarrassing information online in previous high-profile hacks.

Thankfully she has regained control of her accounts and I love her response to the whole hack drama. See it after the cut.

When it comes to Nigerian music just a few good ones get my attention. That's why I didn't hesitate to work with Franklin Chukwu popularly known as Kingklin, a lawyer and a musician on his debut sing "Red Cups" which he released last year.

My sources have revealed to me that this energetic artiste is about to create a storm in the Nigerian music community as he is reportedly collaborating with EME's first lady Niyola on a track that will be released soon. I will be on hand to reveal more information as regards his next music moves as they unfold.

In the mean time, feed you eyes with some of these recent photographs

You want to enjoy some real good acting and get entertained while you learn? If your answer is yes then that's great and if your answer is no, the good news is you don't have a choice.....lol.

Okay seriously speaking I'm thrilled to be working on a project put together by a creative Nigerian called Oluseyi Olatujoye a filmmaker and the brain child behind "Assorted Meat" a new web series that will arrest your attention very soon.

"Assorted Meat is a comedic web series about 5 Nigerian roommates living in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn. Like many Nigerians they engage in lengthy conversations and arguments about the Socio-political issues that's plaguing the country Nigeria and also from their conversations we will get to know what it is like to be African living in New York. Their conversations are based on real life scenarios but we have managed to adapt it in a comedic way for the series and hopefully it comes across as funny to the audience. We make use of common themes such as religion, relationships, racism and so on. The series has been designed in such a way that it's not confrontation, we have made it an open argument without taking any sides"

Enjoy a short clip of "Assorted Meat" after the cut;

It thrills my heart when I see my close friends and former colleagues do well in their various fields. Augusta Bernard popularly known as "Baby" but I call her Eniola was my former colleague and I can confidently let you know that she is one of the most reliable and efficient individuals I've worked with.

Now mark your calender because Baby will make you "Get Loose" at her event put together by Fluid Entertainment on March 28. You certainly don't want to miss this as it will be a memorable experience!

Joe El, Eva, Skales, Vector, Pasuma, Oriste Femi, Tee-Y Mix, Kiss Daniel, Doris Simeon, Mide Martins, G-Fresh are just a few of the celebrities that will be making special guest appearances on that day.

After the cut are more details on direction and ticket reservations;

PHOTO OF THE DAY: KIMYE STUNNING IN BALMAIN

This has to be my best look of the West's fashion wise in a long time.

Kim and Kanye recently attended the BET's 2015 Honors Event where rapper Kanye accepted the Visionary Award.

The couple were both dressed in all black Balmain outfits and I must add that that looked effortlessly classy and stunning.

So this may be the real reason why Kris and Bruce split up after all.

A documentary is in the works about the torturous journey of former Olympian Bruce Jenner to transform himself into his ex-wife, Kris Jenner. 65-year-old Jenner, who recently injected fat into his lips, will talk about his “life changes” and gender confusion in an upcoming documentary on E! Network.

According to Enstarz.com, “Bruce Jenner is shooting a docuseries about his life changes that will air on television,” TMZ confirmed on Wednesday. “The footage has been shot over the last few months and chronicles what Kim has described as Bruce’s ‘journey.'”

LADIES!!! THE WORST SHOES FOR YOUR FEET

Podiatrists have issued warnings about women wearing high heeled shoes for decades. The high fashion footwear are available in a variety of styles including stilleto’s (or spikes), pumps and wedges. Originally designed to keep a horseback rider’s feet from slipping out of the stirrups, high-heeled shoes have evolved into medieval torture devices.

Doctors say pointy pumps (such as those pictured above on a local celebrity) are the worst culprits. The pointy toes squeeze the entire front of your foot together, causing nerve pain, bunions, blisters, and hammertoes.

European royalty began wearing expensive, custom made high-heeled shoes to make them seem taller than they were. Since only royalty and the well-to-do could afford to wear such heels in the 16th century, people of wealth were often referred to as “well-heeled”.

Today’s well-heeled celebrities and thousandaires distinguish themselves from the common folk by wearing pricey ultra high-heeled shoes (with 4+ inch heels) designed by Christian Louboutin, Valentino, Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, Prada, St. Laurant, and others.
Podiatrists blame ultra high heels on a number of medical maladies including chronic back pain, knee pain, foot and tendon pain, blisters, degenerative joint disease, swelling of the feet and ankles, etc.

VIDEO: PRAYING FOR PEACE

Love and good music are the major tools needed to make the world we live in today a better place.

Thanks to the likes of Kayode Ajayi popularly known as Kayo Musiq who has decided to put his talent and creativity to good use in a song he wrote and titled "Praying For Peace" Every time I watch this video it gives me a new feeling of hope. Enjoy the video right after the write up.

"The pursuit for peace in Nigeria and other parts of the world continues to grow as each day passes by. Without peace in families, communities, society, and countries, it will not be possible to coexist serenely.

Music has successfully stood out as an accurate representation of sentiments toward significant historical events, political opinions, and societal observations. I believe that music will continue to have influence over society and serve as a creative commentary for generations to come. That is what inspired this song.

I present this song to you, praying for peace. Hopefully, the message will encourage the quest for peace to reign, not just in Nigeria but all over the world.

Listen, sing along, and share, because without your voice, we will not be able to achieve this project. So let's gather together in one voice and sing to save lives. My voice, your voice, and our voices would bring the change that we desire, and we shall live in peace and harmony.

I leave you with this quote by the famous musician Jimi Hendrix: “When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.”

I'M BACK!

Happy New Year everyone! I know this may be coming a little late but i'll still say it anyway.....lol.

Yes I know I've been AWOL for over a month, but this was not intentional in anyway. Lets just say life happened. Working and schooling in New York can be somewhat overwhelming but i'm happy I've been able to gain some balance.

A lot has happened this past month home and abroad and some if not most of these happenings gets me asking myself what's really going on in the world. Whatever the case is, I need you to always remember that you owe no man nothing but love.

With that said, I want to say welcome back and I will be posting stuffs shortly.

I love you for reading!
