    How actress Beverly Osu’s assault allegations destroyed my life – Rapper 2Shotz

    William Orioha, the Nigerian rapper professionally known as 2Shotz, has opened up on how his life and music career were heavily affected after actress Beverly Osu accused him of assault.

    TheNewsGuru.com(TNG) reports that the veteran artiste, while appearing as a guest on the Teju Babyface show, explained that the allegation came long before his marriage and that he was unaware of how it would escalate.

    He said the situation began when Beverly Osu, who had appeared in one of his music videos, visited his home several times, however, conflicts arose between them, and during one disagreement, he accidentally brushed her face, which she labeled as assault.

    2Shotz said the accusations spread widely and caused him to lose not only professional opportunities but also personal stability.

    According to him, he was cut off from shows, deals, and even lost his home.

    He said: “I was accused of so many things that I really am not. Everybody tore me apart. And at the time I was in the United States. And the wife I had then, I didn’t know she was taking note of how she was going to use that to destroy me.

    “It had happened a long time before I got married. I didn’t even know that it was a thing in the first place. She had always come to my house and be around. You know how girls are. You go give, you go drop. You want to be a model. So, you were in my video and then after a while you started coming to my house a couple of times. You wanted to be my girlfriend. Anyway, long story short, we were scuffling, we were arguing, and I was like, ‘I don’t understand why your mum will be calling me. I haven’t even seen you in months. Where have you been? Why is your mum calling me?

    “The other time, I woke up and my friends came to tell me that I had engaged Beverly and that it was all over the place. Anyway, I was trying to scuffle with this girl. I am not a violent person. Yeah, we scuffled and during that scuffle my hand brushed her face and she called it beating. If I had beaten you, it would show now.

    “It actually cost me my marriage. It actually cost me my daughter. I haven’t seen my daughter once. Everything went down. I wasn’t getting shows. I wasn’t getting deals. I lost my house. I almost killed myself. I walked into water and people pulled me out.”

  • Sean Combs found guilty of two counts, acquitted of sex trafficking charges

    Sean Combs found guilty of two counts, acquitted of sex trafficking charges

    Sean “Diddy” Combs, the renowned hip-hop mogul, has been convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but acquitted of more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.

    The jury delivered the verdict after six weeks of testimony and two days of deliberation.

    Combs faces up to 20 years in prison for the two prostitution-related charges, with each count carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian will determine his sentence at a later date. Prosecutors plan to pursue significant incarceration for Combs.

    The trial featured testimony from 34 witnesses, including Combs’ former girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who described alleged physical and sexual abuse. Other witnesses included alleged victims “Mia” and “Jane,” as well as rapper Kid Cudi, who claimed Combs was involved in a car fire incident.

    Combs’ defense team argued that the alleged activities were consensual and part of a “swingers lifestyle.” Despite the acquittals on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, Combs still faces a slew of lawsuits accusing him of rape and sexual assault, which he denies.

  • I’ll walk away if a woman triggers my bad side – Ruggedman

    I’ll walk away if a woman triggers my bad side – Ruggedman

    Nigerian rapper Ruggedman has taken a bold stance against domestic abuse, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a peaceful and respectful relationship.
    In a recent statement, the rapper asserted that he would “call it quits” if a woman were to trigger his bad side, rather than resorting to violence or abuse.
    Ruggedman made the statement during an interview on TVC’ Your View’ where he stated that he always communicates his triggers and boundaries to his partners, and if they are disrespected, rather than resort to violence, he would rather end the relationship.
    He emphasized that he prioritizes respect and safety in relationships and addressed the issue of people staying in abusive relationships for material benefits or fear of public opinion.
    The rapper’s words; “I always tell any woman I intend to date that if she pushes me to the level where I think of hitting her, then it’s over.
    “I say that because, for me to want to date someone, it means I’ve told her everything that triggers me. So, for you to now push that thing, it means you’re poking me. I would rather walk away than hit the person.
    “I once broke up with a lady because she pushed me in public when we were having a disagreement, despite my pleading with her to wait until we got home to settle the issue.
    “A lot of people in abusive relationships saw the red flags but remained in the relationship because of what they were benefiting. Also, some of them are afraid of leaving because of public opinion. It’s better to leave because if you die in an abusive relationship, people will still talk.”
