Fight To The Finish As Tonto Dikeh, Bobrisky Wash Dirty Linen In Public

Controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye is popularly known as Bobrisky and his best friend, Tonto Dikeh were widely known as the proverbial “birds of the same feathers that flock together.” But this can’t be said of the two besties in recent times, as they are currently on each other’s throats.

Before their relationship turned sour, the controversial figures were once like inseparable Siamese twins, who had a lot in common.

At some point, tongues started wagging that they were dating, even as Tonto Dikeh would do everything to defend and honour her bestie. Their love for each other was so strong that they embarked on a trip to Dubai together to have a good time.

But unfortunately, that Dubai trip turned out to be the reason for their sour relationship today. Upon their return to the country after Tonto Dikeh’s arrest and release in Dubai which went viral, things have never been the same for the two friends.

The besties have been attacking, each other on Instagram at the slightest provocation since 2020, and the war of words has continued unabated.

The latest punch came from the socialite, who slammed his ex-best friend recently for being ungrateful for all his help and friendship.

Unable to let go of his soured relationship with the actress, Bobrisky recounted how far he went to help Tonto Dikeh when she was arrested for alleged possession of weed in Dubai.

In an Instagram post, Bobrisky said: “We stopped talking in 2020. Fast forward to your arrest in Dubai Tonto. You insulted the Dubai police because you were drunk and high. I tried my best to control you back then and I couldn’t. Dubai police locked you up for two days in their cell, nobody knew where you were locked up. I was busy crying, calling people I knew in Dubai to look for where you were locked up.

“After two days, you were released and the police collected your phone and weed they caught you with and charged you to court. I removed my SIM card and gave you my phone just to make sure you quickly post some pictures on your page so that Stella and other blogs won’t laugh at us.

“I paid for our hotel bills and feeding. We were stuck in Dubai for three months and with all your bragging, you had no one to save you. Even your so-called boyfriends then stopped picking up your calls because you were giving them so much headache, I was the only soul who stood by you…”

Responding in an Instagram live chat with media personality, Daddy Freeze, Tonto Dikeh blasted the crossdresser, explaining how disgusted she felt whenever she had a misunderstanding with Bobrisky.

According to her, talking about Bob or fighting him was like physically rolling in the mud.

“I actually really don’t want to talk about him. You know we actually had a conversation on this and every time I do that, I physically feel dirty. I hate myself for a few seconds but it’s necessary. Where is the fun in that if I don’t drag him a little bit but I don’t really care about him,” the actress said?

She said that unlike her, Bobrisky has refused to move on from their bitter friendship and used every opportunity to slander her.

“I’m the kind of person that when I’m done with you, I want to be done with you. I have a mental burial in my head, a funeral for you in my head. Bob is gone and forgotten. You will never see me talk about him on social media or among my friends. But this guy will always jump at issues that have to do with me. I put so much into anything I am involved in.

“Anything about him irritates me. If I dump you, you stay there. It’s embarrassing that Bob has a problem with money and abandonment issues.

“Since his mother left him while he was young, it has been horrible for this boy to hold a relationship with anybody that wants to play a mother figure role for him. I feel so sorry for him.

“When you realize that this guy isn’t worth being in your life, it becomes a major issue. I can remember when he was begging me about a year ago.

“He needs help and I am done with him. I used to be the one helping him out. All I’m asking is that if I am done with you, please grow up and leave me alone.

“Why do you love me so much? What’s this obsession? Everybody in your life owes money. What do you have, because you made a little money while we were in Dubai, and I gave you back your money? But you refused to collect the money. I have paid you threefold,” Tonto Dikeh snapped, calling Bobrisky a man.

The two best friends have been fighting each other since 2020 when Bobrisky blocked the actress on Instagram for unfollowing him. This action led to a strain on their soaring friendship, which lasted six years.

Bobrisky accused Tonto of living a fake life and owing to him N5 million. He later shared a post on his Instagram page begging Tonto to forgive him for calling her out on social media.

The cross-dresser urged the mother of one to forgive him, promising never to do such again.

“Tonto I humiliated you here so it is a must I apologise for calling you out. I honestly don’t know what came over me but I realize I’m wrong. Please find it in your heart to forgive me. You were there for me at some point in life, please find it in your heart to forgive me once more,” he wrote on IG then.

But his apologies fell on deaf ears as Tonto Dikeh never gave him another chance since then. They were last sighted together in public during their Dubai getaway in November 2019.

VANGUARD.

Why I Prefer To Raise Kids In Nigeria – M.I Abaga

Editor

Nigerian rapper and music executive, M.I Abaga, has revealed that he would prefer to raise his future children in Nigeria because of the country’s strong sense of family and community.

Speaking in a recent interview, the hip-hop star said Nigeria offers a more supportive environment for raising children compared to some Western countries.

According to him, the communal lifestyle in Nigeria makes parenting easier, as relatives are often available to help.

He said, “There are a lot of things appealing about home, especially because we’re already ingrained in that system. There’s a lot of support as well. I feel it’s very difficult for parents here.

“But if you have family, now you have enough people that can stay at home and support you. But it’s not easy, man.”

M.I contrasted this with life abroad, particularly in the United States, where many people work long hours and family members may not be available to offer help.

He added that while he understands the appeal of raising kids overseas, Nigeria provides a stronger foundation for children to understand their roots and culture before gaining exposure abroad.

Although M.I noted that he is not yet making concrete family plans, he emphasized that Nigeria’s close-knit culture remains one of its greatest advantages when it comes to raising children.

Oscar-winning Actress Diane Keaton Dead At 79 – Report

Actress Diane Keaton, known for her Oscar-winning performance in 1977’s “Annie Hall” and her role in “The Godfather” films, has died at age 79, People magazine reported Saturday.

Details were not immediately available, and Keaton’s loved ones have asked for privacy, a family spokesperson told People, which confirmed that the actress died in California.

Keaton, a style icon, was a frequent collaborator of director Woody Allen, portraying the titular character in “Annie Hall,” the charming girlfriend of Allen’s comic Alvy Singer.

The film also garnered Oscars for best picture, best director and best original screenplay, cementing Keaton’s place as one of the industry’s top actresses and an offbeat style icon as well.

The actress made her mark co-starring in eight Allen movies, from “Play in Again Sam” (1972) to “Manhattan” (1979) and “Manhattan Murder Mystery” (1993).

As the Hollywood sexual harassment scandals detonated in late 2017, cascading from producer Harvey Weinstein to heavyweight actors like Kevin Spacey, old accusations of child sex abuse against Allen by his adoptive daughter Dylan, resurfaced.

“Woody Allen is my friend and I continue to believe him,” Keaton tweeted in January 2018.

A BAFTA and Golden Globe winner, Keaton scored Oscar nominations three other times for best actress, for “Reds,” “Marvin’s Room” and “Something’s Gotta Give.”

In “The Godfather” films, she played Kay Adams, the girlfriend and eventual wife of Al Pacino’s Michael Corleone.

Late in her career, Keaton starred in two movies about ageing women: “Book Club” (2018), with its message that love has no age, and “Poms” (2019).

“Poms” is the story of Martha, a terminally ill woman who moves to a retirement community to die, but winds up forming a cheerleading squad made up of female senior citizens.

As for ageing, Keaton said in a 2019 interview with AFP that life actually got easier.

“I think so, because what have you got to lose? It’s like it’s the truth. That’s what it is. You face it, we talk about it,” she said.

Born Diane Hall in Los Angeles on January 5, 1946, Keaton was romantically involved with Allen, Pacino and Warren Beatty, but never married.

“Most people in the movies get married at some point, and then they divorce. But I’ve never even got married. I am (a) failure,” she joked in the 2019 interview.

Did she regret it? “I don’t think about it a lot, but I’m aware of the fact that I’m unusual in that regard, and maybe I did miss out on something — but then, nobody can have everything, right?”

She is survived by her two children, Dexter and Duke.

Nigerian rapper Erhiga Agarivbie, popularly known as Erigga, has revealed that he can’t quit music, stressing that he is doing it for passion and not for financial gains.

In an interview with Hip TV, Erigga noted that every year, some of his colleagues leave the music industry due to various circumstances.

However, he said he can’t quit because music is his life.

The rapper emphasised that his passion for music supersedes the financial and social benefits.

“Every year, people leave music for real-life issues. But I can’t stop. Music is life. It’s what keeps me going. Take the business and everything out of it, it’s more of a passion. I can’t disappoint my fans,” Erigga said.
