Cossy and friends were in Bayelsa on Sunday June 23rd for the
Blue Chance Fashion Show where she performed. Eedris Abdulkareem and
actress Benita Nzeribe were also at the event.
Kanye and Kim set a trap for their friends to see which one would sell a picture of their new baby. According to TMZ, they received a photo purportedly of North West but when they checked
with Kim's camp to see if it was the real baby pic, they discovered they
had received one of several decoy photos distributed by the couple.
TMZ reports:
Someone has been trying to sell this baby pic for a lot of $$$$ -- allegedly the spawn of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. But sources connected with the couple tell TMZ, it's a fraud!So
here's what we're being told. Kim felt people in her world were going
to hawk baby photos, so she wanted to catch the culprits quickly. We're
told Kim hatched a plan and sent a half-dozen of her "friends" pictures
of a baby she claimed was North West -- but we're told it was an impostor infant.
Sure
enough ... someone came along and tried selling us this pic (above).
Gotta say ... it looks like it could be Kim and Kanye's baby. It has
the right ... well, you know ... but Kim would obviously pick a pic of
an impostor baby that had the qualities of her own child.
Our K & K sources have seen the pic and claim it's not the real deal.By
the way ... we also got hold of another pic of a baby Kim sent to
several other friends -- Bogus Baby #2. We're told she's waiting to see
if someone tries to sell this one as well.

don’t be amateur with your articles, you sound bitter! What’s all this
about hair and nails and costumes and tattoos?? ….That shit ain’t
clever!!! That shit ain’t journalism! That’s a sad sloppy menopausal
mess!!! Nobody over here acts like they’re perfect! I don’t pretend that
I’m like you, i just live… My life!! And I don’t know why y’all still
act so surprised by any of it!! “Role Model” is not a position or title
that I have ever campaigned for, so chill wit dat! I got my own f**ked
up shit to work on, I’ll never portray that as perfect, but for right
now it’s ME!! Call it what ya want!! Toxic was cute, Poisonous Pop
Princess had a nice ring to it, just a lil wordy! And P.S. my first
American Vogue cover was in 2011…APRIL!!! #ElizabethAnnJones”

OJB Jezreel gave an interview to Encomium magazine yesterday Monday June
24th where he said he has about eight weeks left to get his operation
done. Excerpts...
"When early diagnosis was done, it was just a case of renal failure.
Right now, my two kidneys are gone. We are running dialysis at the
moment. It started two years ago, but gradually depreciated. Most people
tend to attribute kidney problem to drinking and smoking. I was told it
doesn't have anything to do with that, because as much as I drink and
smoke then, it was casual drinking. Maybe they offer you a bottle of
drink and all that but not like I drink 15 bottles a day. I have a
friend who has gone through this and he never drank or smoked.
"The whole process of the treatment from pre-process, transplanting
process and post-transplanting will cost about $100, 000. In two years I
have spent up to N5million which I have been trying to maintain myself.
That is why it has been kept secret."
"God willing, I have like eight to ten weeks more to get the transplant
done. It's strange, I still walk around a little. I can't eat much
though. I trust God and Nigerians for their financial support"
