Iconic country singer Kris Kristofferson dies at 88

Kris Kristofferson, the legendary singer-songwriter and actor, passed away at his home in Maui, Hawaii, on Saturday at the age of 88.

According to the New York Times, his death was confirmed by his family spokesperson, Ebie McFarland, though no specific cause was provided.

Born in 1936 in Brownsville, Texas, Kristofferson pursued a military career before turning his attention to music.

After serving as a U.S. Army helicopter pilot and being offered a teaching position at West Point, he chose to follow his passion for songwriting.

Moving to Nashville in the mid-1960s, Kristofferson worked odd jobs, including as a janitor at Columbia Studios, while writing songs that would later become iconic in country and pop music.

His breakthrough came in 1970 when Johnny Cash’s rendition of “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down” topped the country charts.

Kristofferson also penned timeless hits such as “Me and Bobby McGee,” famously recorded by Janis Joplin, and “Help Me Make It Through the Night,” which earned him his first Grammy.

In addition to his music career, Kristofferson found success in Hollywood.

He starred in films like “A Star Is Born” (1976), for which he won a Golden Globe, “Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid” (1973), and the “Blade” trilogy.

Kristofferson’s personal life was as rich as his professional one. He married three times and had eight children, including a long-lasting marriage to his third wife, Lisa Meyers.

He retired from performing in 2021 after being diagnosed with a series of health issues, including Lyme disease.

Sean Diddy ‘removed’ from suicide watch

American rapper and music executive, Sean Combs, aka Diddy, has been reportedly removed from suicide watch.

Diddy was reportedly placed on suicide watch in prison after he was arrested on September 16, by Homeland Security on suspicion of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and interstate transportation for prostitution.

In an article published on September 29, People reported that a law enforcement source exclusively told the news outlet that the rapper was no longer on suicide watch.

Another source also revealed that Diddy has visited with family while at the detention facility, where he is currently in custody before his court appearance in early October.

“He is focused and very strong. He is concentrating on his defence and preparing for his trial,” People quoted Diddy’s lawyer as saying.

Federal officers seized supplies that they say were intended for use in orgies known as “freak offs”, including drugs and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil during the raiding of Diddy’s Beverly Hills mansion in March.

The rapper’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, suggested in a TMZ Studios documentary, ‘The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment’, that his client had 1,000 bottles of baby oil because he buys them in bulk from Costco, which the company denied.

Diddy has denied all the charges, entering a not-guilty plea on Tuesday, 17 September.

However, the Bad Boy Records’ boss’ bail request was rejected twice.

VeryDarkMan denies defaming Falz, Falana

Controversial self-styled activist, Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, has denied defaming Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana and rapper, Falz.

Falz and Falana gave VeryDarkMan a 24-hour ultimatum to retract his publication against them, alleging that they played roles in getting a soft landing for controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, during his jail sentence.

Bobrisky was jailed for three months after pleading guilty to naira mutilation following his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

He was released on 5th August, 2024.

On Tuesday, 24th September 2024, VeryDarkMan leaked Bobrisky’s alleged voice recording wherein the cross-dresser claimed that human rights lawyer, Femi Falana and his son, Falz, helped to get the EFCC to drop money laundering charges against him.

In separate statements by their legal representative, Falana and Falana’s Chambers, Chief Falana and Falz denied the allegations and demanded immediate retraction of the said publication, as well as an apology from VeryDarkMan to be published on all the platforms within 24 hours.

Reacting via a video message shared on his social media pages, VeryDarkMan denied defaming Chief Femi Falana and Falz.

He claimed that he only reacted to Bobrisky’s leaked call.

“I never defamed uncle Femi Falana, and I’ll never do so. Uncle Femi Falana is somebody that I respect so much. Not because of his position as a SAN but because of what he has used his position to do, representing the likes of me that speak against the ills of society, abuse of power, abuse of influence and also the bad dealings of the government,” he said.

“I only reacted to the call Bobrisky made. He was the one that alleged that Falz connected him to uncle Femi Falana and bla bla bla N10 million.

“And what I said was that I chose not to believe that uncle Femi Falana would be associated with that and if, I would be disappointed because of his position in society.

“I had an option of cutting off the part of the leaked audio where Bobrisky mentioned Falz but I refused because I want a thorough investigation on the matter,” he added.
