Two Nigerian siblings, 11 and 10 are pictured crying after their mother died in the Mediterranean on their way to Europe.
The two children were among 150 migrants rescued from their overcrowded rubber boat off the coast of Libya while trying to cross the Mediterranean ocean into Italy by a Spanish NGO’s boat.

Tiwa Savage Opens Up On Roc Nation Deal (READ)
Singer Tiwa Savage, was recently interviewed on Apple Music Beats 1 Radio, where she touched on so many topics to include her latest deal with Jay Z’s Roc Nation.
Tiwa, who recently inked an international management deal, with rapper Jay Z’s, Roc Nation, sat down with OAP, Ebro Darden, for the interview, where she shared her views on African music and it’s current status globally.
Speaking on African Music:
When we speak of Africa, we have to always remember that it is a continent. And so you have South Africa, East Africa, West Africa, North Africa, and it’s just a huge continent with different cultures, and different languages. So right now, the prominent music out of Africa seems to be Afrobeat or Afropop (depending on what you want to call it). Essentially it’s just music with African elements. Whether it be the rhythm, or maybe the native language. As long as you can have one or two of those, then it tends to be associated with Africa.
Africans love to dance, it’s so rhythm based. It’s very very heavy with drums, basslines as well. I think everybody essentially, we all have an element of it, but we are all influenced by the muic coming out of America, we are influenced by Hip-Hop, we are influenced by Soul Music, R&B, and I think that is the beauty of it; Blending both markets together. So when you say African-American, truly, that’s where it should be, between the African and the American world, just blending both together.
On her songwriting deal with Sony Music:
I grew up in the UK as well, and it wasn’t cool to be African. I used to be bullied and stuff. When you go to clubs in Africa, they would play Hip-hop 90%, and maybe 10% African music. Now it is literally the other way round, so it’s a great thing that Africans in the diaspora are listening to African music.
I have been recording music for 8 years, I am signed to Sony/ATV as well, so I wrote a couple of records out here, so I co-wrote ‘A couple of forevers’ for Chrisette Michelle, ‘Collard & Greens’ for Fantazia. So I have been writing for a long time. Now I am focused on Afrobeat.
On collaborations:
The beautiful thing is, when American artistes come to Africa, and you know English isn’t our first language, but you see people reciting the lyrics to Jay Z songs, and it’s a feeling, they might not even understand what the whole thing is. But it wouldn’t be able to happen in reverse. There shouldn’t be a barrier just because you don’t understand what Mafikizolo is saying or Tiwa is saying. Music is an emotion, and I am really happy that you guys are putting that light on, now that we have the spotlight to show the world what we can really do.
On her new deal with Roc Nation:
I met B High (Jay Z’s cousin, and Roc Nation chief of mobile strategies), I got a call, and he mentioned it and I (makes a skeptical sound)…He was serious. I don’t know if it you’ve ever met him, but he is serious. And I love the fact that they are not trying to change me. They really just want to bring what I already have to offer to the rest of the world, and they truly believe in the movement. So yeah, I’m really excited about it.
The reason why we did not really make too much noise about it is because a lot of people come over from Africa and they say they’ve got this deal and that deal, and then nothing happens. We just wanted to do it the proper way, get it official. I didn’t want to do that to my people. I wanted them to really believe that it was really happening, so we wanted to wait for the right time, and the time is now.

See How Darker Sean Tizzle Looks These Days.(Photos)
Daniel O was about his business on Instagram when he bumped into one of Nigeria’s finest artiste, Sean Tizzle’s photos and he saw something… really interesting.
He made a keen observation on the skin colour of the artiste which is totally different from what it used to be – recall that months back, photos were brought to you of the singer’s amazing transformation, how he went from dark to fair after he came into limelight.
Well, it looks like, the singer has ran out of cream, as photos of himself that he’s been sharing on instagram doesn’t look like what he used to look like!
One of the captions of one of his photos, read “What do you mean the money is not ready ?!” and Daniel gave me a hard laugh when he said that’s probably the cause of his colour transformation.
You just might agree with us as we share with you side by side photos of the singer’s skin tone below:
He’s been under the buzzing artistes radar for a while now – last we heard from him was when he did the cover of Drake’s Controlla“.
What’s going on Sean Tizzle?!

Bill Cosby declared completely blind and housebound
These past few months for Bill Cosby have been a tough one, and things are only getting tougher.
According to Page Six, the 79-year-old comedian has just been declared completely blind from a well-known source, which also added that the comic is currently “in his own personal hell.”
Right now Cosby has been restricted to stay within his Pennsylvania home, with his wife Camille by his side.
The source says:
“He is confined to his house in Pennsylvania, and the only person on his side is his wife,
Camille, who is masterminding his defense. His only friends are the small army of lawyers on his
Cosby’s sight has been fading for quite some time as he’s been suffering from a degenerative eye disease called keratoconus, a condition that causes the eye’s cornea to bulge.
Back in January, Monique Pressley, one of Cosby’s lawyers spoke about his eye sight after many noticed it in his mug shot. She said:
“He’s a 78-year-old blind man who they’ve chosen to charge. That’s not a defense to a charge, that’s just a fact.”
As we all know by now he’s been accused of sexually assaulting more than 50 women, and has spent months going back and fourth to court fighting the many pending cases against him.
On Monday a judge ruled that Cosby could countersue Andrea Constand, one of the women who accused him of drugging and raping her back in 2004. She allegedly breached a confidentiality agreement that was signed back in 2006 when they settled outside of the court.
