Rapper Nasty C reveals when he will stop making music

South African Rapper Nsikayesizwe David Junior Ngcobo widely known as Nasty C has revealed that he plans to retire when he turns 35, but only if he has made $1 billion (R14.5 billion).

The award-winning rapper sat down with Sizwe Dhlomo in the latest episode of his podcast series and got real about how his approach to music has changed and how he thinks he could have done better in his rap career.
The pair also spoke about Nasty C’s plans for the future.

When asked by Sizwe what life looked like for him after 35, Nasty C, who is 24 years old, said he had it all figured out already.
“I can’t tell you but I have it all figured out. I am going to go to this place that I love, it’s so left, nobody would actually just move there or even retire there, but I am going to retire there,” he said.
He went on to say that once he made $1bn, he would stop making music.
“I am open about it, a billion, I want to say dollars. God forbid it doesn’t happen.

“I got over that whole ‘who killed who’ on a song thing like a long time ago … when I was still rapping to prove that I can rap … when it was just about that.
My approach to music is very different now, so I don’t mind you saying so and so killed me on a song or whatever,” Nasty C said, adding that he’s “all about making people feel things” when he makes music.
The rapper went on to give himself a 7.5 out of 10 for his career so far.
“I feel like I could have done better,” he said. “I came in thinking things were sweet, it’s all kumbaya. I thought there was going to be good energy in the game, it wasn’t. So that makes up for the 2.5 that’s missing”.
He added that if he had just avoided certain people, he would not have needed to go through what he did.

Ghanaian actress, Kasawale, claims ex-boyfriend is possessed with 77 spirits

Cinderella Blonde popularly known as Kasawale, a former Ghanaian actress who is now an Evangelist, has alleged that her ex-boyfriend was possessed by 77 spirits and nearly introduced her to Mammy Water (mermaid).

In an interview with GHPage TV, the actress said she met the guy about five years ago at an eatery in an area in Kumasi, Roman Hill, right after she passed out from learning a trade in bridal decorations.

Kasawale said on their first meeting, the guy made a stunning comment of “I have been looking for you for a long time “ – which sounded as if he knew her already. She said he referred to seeing her in movies after she inquired what he actually meant.

The actress revealed that after he visited her in her shop and made a proposal which she rejected, he returned with ‘Don Simon’ which surprisingly happens to be her favourite drink.

She disclosed that after she took the drink, she began changing her mind on them being just platonic friends and told him that they could be in a relationship.

Kasawale said they started confiding in each other and she told him that she was being haunted by ‘spiritual marriage‘, which has affected her previous relationships and has been to several pastors for a solution but to no avail.

Her new boyfriend then reportedly promised to introduce her to his spiritual father whom she thought was a pastor but wasn’t.

She added that she started seeing changes in her newfound man,” his eyes could turn reddish and disappear within minutes”.

The actress who said she believed she was still under the spell from the drink he gave her on the first date and couldn’t challenge most of his decisions, claimed he started giving her concoctions to drink and at times bathe with some of them.

She also alleged that eight months into their relationship, her boyfriend confessed to “working with 77 spirits, which comprised of dwarfs and Mammy Water”. She revealed the spirits were males and females and he gave her a ring she could use to summon the females.

Kasawale said that when she travelled to Benin Republic to visit the guy’s spiritual father, they made attempts to “send her under the sea to meet a mermaid which would climax her introduction into the spirit world.”

She said upon several attempts at the shore of the sea, she heard a strange voice shouting into her ears “where are you going”, which caused her to run for her life.

NEMA maps out flood-prone communities for emergency response

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has begun the mapping of communities that are prone to looming devastating floods expected this year, for emergency response.

The Director-General of NEMA, Muhammadu Muhammed, disclosed this at the Experts’ Technical Meeting of Stakeholders to analyse 2021 Seasonal Climate Prediction, held in Abuja on Wednesday.

According to him, the mapping of vulnerable communities for emergency response was based on the 2021 Seasonal Climate Prediction and the recent flood warning by the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA).

To avert the devastation caused by floods, Muhammed said vulnerable communities would not be neglected as every necessary preparation would be made.

“NEMA will continue to map vulnerable communities based on the prediction as indicated by our climate risk monitoring agency to enhance and direct enlightenment campaigns in critical states,” he said.

He maintained that the meeting was necessary considering past experiences of unprecedented floods and other disasters that had affected several states, wreaking havoc on communities.

He assured participants that NEMA would ensure that mechanisms are put in place to allow stakeholders at federal, state, local government and community levels to prepare adequately to mitigate and respond to anticipated climate risks and secondary hazards.

It’s Director-General, Clement Nze, who advised in Abuja said this was because Nigeria was at the receiving end of disastrous floods among the nine countries of the River Niger Basin.

Popular blogger claims Chioma has vowed never to let Davido see his son, Ifeanyi Jnr (Details)

Chioma Avril Rowland has allegedly vowed never to let her estranged fiancée, Davido see his son, Ifeanyi Jnr.

Popular Instagram blogger, Cutie Julls made the revelation in a recent post on the photo and video-sharing app.

Davido and his baby mama have been making news headlines lately and it is largely due to a reported crack in their relationship.

It seems there is more to what we have seen so far and Instagram blog, Cutie Julls has made a post suggesting that the singer is being prevented from seeing his son and there are plans for it to remain that way.

The post reads;

“Chioma has vowed that for David to break her heart among his other usuals, the closest David will get to Baby Ifeanyi is by social media likes and comments. After all, according to Igbo tradition, the child is hers since her bride price wasn’t paid before the baby was born and still her bride price hasn’t been paid yet.

Mama Chioma says na lie. Chioma must allow David see his child because they the Rowlands are strong practicing Christains and so therefore to hell with Chioma’s decisions and her so called Igbo tradition.

On a more serious note, Chioma’s parents and David’s father have very good relationship and both sides have been actively involved in trying to get these 2 together. Chioma’s mother especially as per our 100% authentic source, has been counselling both Coconut head Chioma and David whenever they had issues.

Especially Chioma as she is her daughter. More reasons why Chairman Adeleke is not happy with David’s decision to call the marriage off because Chioma’s parents are apparantly very very good and they’ve won Chairman’s heart. So he doesn’t like David’s decision about calling off the marriage.

Chioma we’ve been told has been in close contact with Chairman as expected and have even dropped name .. Some DMW crew members are already in Chairman’s bad books.

And from the look of things, David might also soon drop his own list in Chi’s camp to his father now that he is back from his trips. we love Chi o. But in this, I stan Chi’s mom. A child’s relationship with any of the parents should not suffer just because the parents have issues. A child needs mom and Dad. Especially when David’s responsibility as a dad cannot be faulted. Ifeanyi still get’s what is due him even tho David was a little angry about an initial something that happend but he still made sure Ifeanyi had everything he needed.”

The post by Cutie Julls comes barely a week after Chioma deleted all Davido photos on Instagram.
