Academy Disqualifies's LionHeart Movie From Oscar Consideration, Genevieve Nnaji Reacts!!!!
Sadly, Nigeria's Oscar hopes are dashed as the country's first ever submission in the best International Feature Film category was disqualified from the Oscar race by the Academy. The film, "LionHeart" was made by actress-turned-director, Genevieve Nnaji. The Netflix original production in which Nnaji also stars, is partially in the Igbo language of Nigeria. But it is mostly in English which violates an Academy rules that entries in this category must have "a predominantly non English dialogue track".
According to the Academy, 95minutes LionHeart movie only had about 11minutes of Igbo language, making it ineligible...….But duhhhhh! English is Nigeria's official language!
Genevieve has since reacted to the news. As always, it was a classy response from the screen goddess. In her response, the actress said the film represent how Nigerians communicate and we all agree.
Give me a break, Academy! Please, come up with something else...…WE ARE NOT BUYING THIS.

Wendy Finally Files For Divorce And Now Looking For A New Place To Live!!!
After years of alleged physical, mental and emotional abuse, Talk Show Host, Wendy Williams, finally finds the courage to say "I have had enough" and we applaud her for it. According to court document filed in Essex County, New Jersey, the 54-year old and husband, Kevin Hunter are splitting for "irreconcilable differences" . The split comes amid renewed rumors that Hunter has been cheating on Williams with a woman named Sharina Hudson, who gave birth to a baby suspected to be Hunter’s last month. Hunter was served with the divorce papers at 6.30am on Thursday, April, 11th.
The divorce news came after Wendy notably flaunted her lack of a wedding ring early Thursday. Rumors of infidelity has plagued the couple for many years, though William never confirmed them but she vaguely addressed her marital woes on her show earlier this year. cryptically telling viewers after her return from a two month hiatus that her wedding would always stay on her hand.
“I’m still very much in love with my husband,” she said. “Don’t ask me about mine.” Pointing to her wedding ring, Williams added, “It ain’t going anywhere. Not in this lifetime.”
Oh well, I guess her ring apparently did go somewhere. Williams and Hunter met at a skating rink in 1994, tied the knot three years later and welcomed their son, 19-year-old Kevin Hunter Jr., in 2000.
We applaud you Wendy, no woman should ever be with a man who sucks life out of them. This relationship has been toxic for years. You totally deserve better. Keep your head up.

Music and Tears as Slain Rapper, Nipsey Hussle Is ‘Sent Off Like a King’ With A Presidential Honor!!!
About 21, 000 people gathered in Los Angeles, Staple Center today for a 'Victory Lap' funeral in honor of Grammy award nominated rapper, Nipsey Hussle. The 33-year old , whose real name is Ermias Joseph Asghedom was shot multiple times on March, 31st in the parking lot of his store, Marathon Clothing in South Los Angeles.
The bittersweet memorial to this local hero melded deeply emotional tributes with arena-filling musical interludes from his debut album.
“This is a celebration. The marathon continues,” shouted DJ Battlecat over the loudspeaker before the beginning of the service at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, which included Hussle’s family along with prominent figures like Stevie Wonder, Anthony Hamilton, Snoop Dogg, Jay Z and wife, Beyonce, Meek Mill, Louis Farrakhan and YG.
Before the service began, Hussle’s voice boomed from the speakers and thousands of fans sprung to their feet to sing along, the bass shaking the ground, giving the event the feel of a concert.
The majority of mourners at the event were African-American and Latino, largely in their 20s and 30s, many wearing the famous “Crenshaw” shirts that were sold in Hussle’s store. Members of the Eritrean community wore traditional clothing, some adorned with national flags.
Before performing at the funeral, the musician Stevie Wonder called for stronger gun regulations. People nodded along in the audience as he spoke.
“It is a heartbreak to again lose a member of our family. It is a heartbreak because it’s so unnecessary,” he said. “It is so painful to know that we don’t have enough people taking a position that says: Listen, we must have stronger gun laws.”
After his remarks he performed the song “Tears in Heaven.”
In a tribute, Snoop Dogg said that he and Hussle were drawn to each other like magnets. He said that other up-and-coming artists often promise that “I’ll make you a million dollars.” Not Hussle; he knew his talent was about more than money: “He was a visionary.”
“Nipsey’s line was, ‘Hey homey, listen to my music, just give it a listen,’” Snoop Dogg recounted. “I didn’t grow up with Nip, in the neighborhood, but I watched him grow up in front of me.”
He praised Hussle for the unifying role he played in a culture sometimes marred by gang violence. “We’re going to respect another man from another neighborhood when he comes from where we come from,” Snoop Dogg said. “You are a peace advocate, Nip. That’s what you are.”
The service all but stopped the hip-hop world on Thursday. While some West Coast rappers took the stage to speak about Hussle’s life and enduring message, others sent their own emotional condolences.
Jay-Z, whose company Roc Nation managed Hussle in recent years, wrote in a statement printed for the funeral goers: “You were a curious soul who was evolving at a speed that was truly inspiring. The seeds you have planted are already bearing fruit.”
Jay-Z, whose company Roc Nation managed Hussle in recent years, wrote in a statement printed for the funeral goers: “You were a curious soul who was evolving at a speed that was truly inspiring. The seeds you have planted are already bearing fruit.”
President Barack Obama sent a letter praising Hussle, which Karen Civil, a hip-hop media personality, read at the service. The former president said that he had heard Hussle’s music through his daughters.
“While most people look at the Crenshaw neighborhood where he grew up and see only gangs, bullets and despair, Nipsey saw potential,” the former president wrote. “He saw hope. He saw a community that even through its flaws taught him to always keep going.”
