Reality star Daisy Lewellyn dies from cancer at age 36
Reality star, Daisy Lewellyn, best known as star of Bravo’s “Blood, Sweat & Heels” and former editor at Essence magazine has died. She died yesterday morning April 8th after a long battle with liver cancer. She was only 36 years old.
Daisy was diagnosed two years ago with stage three cancer of the bile ducts, a very rare form of liver cancer, which she shared with fans last season on the show.
She later told entertainer website Madame Noire about the illness, saying...
“It was kind of shocking. But also when I was diagnosed, I remember some of my immediate thoughts being like, ‘Well, you know what? I’m not afraid to die. It wasn’t like I wanted to die and it wasn’t like I didn’t want to live because I absolutely love my life and I’ve always loved my life, but they told me it was stage three cancer. I was like, ‘Well, if it’s my time to go, I’m okay with it.'”
Before landing at Bravo, she was an editor for various magazines including Essence, InStyle and Glamour. She also wrote a book in 2010 titled “Never Pay Retail Again: Shop Smart, Spend Less, & Look Your Best Ever.”
RIP Daisy

President Buhari leaves for China tomorrow
Read the press statement from the presidency
President Muhammadu Buhari will leave Abuja tomorrow for a working visit to China aimed at securing greater support from Beijing for the development of Nigeria's infrastructure, especially in the power, roads, railways, aviation, water supply and housing sectors.
President Buhari's talks with President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang and the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National Peoples’ Congress, Zhang Dejiang will also focus on strengthening bilateral cooperation in line with the Federal Government's agenda for the rapid diversification of the Nigerian economy, with emphasis on agriculture and solid minerals development.
It is expected that in the course of the visit, several new agreements and memorandums of understanding to boost trade and economic relations between Nigeria and China will be concluded and signed.
The agreements include a Framework Agreement between the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment and the National Development and Reform Commission of the Peoples' Republic of China to Boost Industrial Activities and Infrastructural Development in Nigeria.
Others are a Framework Agreement between the Federal Ministry of Communications and the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, and a Memorandum of Understanding between Nigeria and China on Scientific and Technological Cooperation.
In keeping with his administration's prioritization of economic diversification and industrialisation to boost employment, President Buhari and his delegation will tour the Shanghai Free Trade Zone and the Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone to gain more useful insights and understanding of the policies that underpinned China's astronomical economic growth in recent years.
The President, whose entourage will include some state governors as well as the Ministers of Agriculture, Water Resources, Transport, Defence, Power, Works & Housing, Industry, Trade & Investment, Federal Capital Territory, Science & Technology and Foreign Affairs, will also open a China-Nigeria Business/Investment Forum in Beijing and meet with members of the Nigerian Community in China before returning to Abuja at the weekend.

VIDEO: SMADE Afrofest 2016 | Highlights & Performances
VIDEO: SMADE Afrofest 2016 | Highlights & Performances
For some, the date March 28th 2016 held no significance, but for lovers of Afrobeats in LONDON, it meant one major thing: the day had FINALLY come for them to witness the musical talents of top Nigerian artists Wande Coal, Kiss Daniel, Patoranking and DJ Spinall at TROXY LONDON; thankfully, we were not at all disappointed.
The night kicked off with Award winning Comedian & Event Host EDDIE KADI entertaining the crowd with his notoriously energetic dance moves and setting the atmosphere.
UK based Nigerian Afrobeats artist SELIMAX serenaded the ladies with songs ‘Roma’ & ‘Beautiful’ followed by IKE CHUKS – fast rising Artist & member of Britain’s Got Talent Winning Group ‘Diversity’whose choreography to songs ‘Play like Play’ and ‘Go Low’ was fantastic.
it was time for the lovely DJ SPINALL aka ‘The Cap’ and DJ Neptizzle to hit the stage. Taking the crowd on a musical journey of some of the most popular Afrobeats, Trap, Reggae and R&B songs – he indeed proved that he can spin all the hits we know and love. Mega Producer / Artist MALEEK BERRY announced that it was time to ‘turn the lights down’ and proceeded to give a very sultry performance of ‘Work’ (Rihanna Refix) and ‘For my People’.
With the audience’s appetite now fully whetted, everyoneeagerly awaited the main event.
Fresh from touring the United States & Nigeria, the live band of the night ‘THE COMPOZERS’ were, in my honest opinion, musical perfection – performing a vast number of instrumental versions of well known songs before introducing the ‘Black Diamond’
Surrounded by special effects smoke which created aheavenly visual, WANDE COAL came out onto the stage singing hit ‘Ololufe’ ; instantly captivating everyone with his sweet vocals and dynamic delivery. Sounding exactly like your recorded track whilst singing live is not easy; I’m a singer so I know. Egbon Wande: I hail Oo – you get 2 thumbs up from me Sir. Other hits performed included ‘Monster’, ‘Bumper to Bumper’, ‘Rotate’ and ‘You Bad’ amongst others.
Next to grace the stage was baby faced KISS DANIEL. Wearing a stylish black agbada and single black glove on his left hand (reminiscent of a young Michael Jackson) and accompanied by UK Based artist MOELOGO, ‘Laye’, ‘Woju’, ‘Raba’ and ‘Good Time’ were some of the electrifying songs we were treated to.
Last but certainly not least came PATORANKING, whose theatrical entrance was outstandingly creative. With high energy renditions of ‘Girlie O’, ‘Daniella Whine’ Bob Marley classics ‘No Woman No Cry’, ‘One Love’ and hit ‘My Woman’performed with Wande Coal, it is clearly evident why this young man has risen so quickly in the music scene.
With the finale featuring a spectacular multi-coloured confetti explosion into the crowd, the event gets the rating of a solid 10/10.
If you missed the first SMADE AFROFEST sold out event, you missed out in a major way but don’t worry – judging by the success of this one, there will be many more for you to attend in the very near future.

Meet the woman with the longest legs in the US
26-year-old Lauren Williams stands at 6’4, and currently holds the record for the longest legs in United States of America. She models for sportswear and fitness brands, and struts high fashion catwalks. She finds that being tall does have its advantages, especially as many fashion houses these days often seek the “long and lean” look on models. She told Daily Mail that she never thought she'd be made popular because of her looks but that she's grateful for it because it has its advantages. More photos

Monyetta Shaw writes heartbreaking piece exposing the pain she felt after Ne-Yo asked her to tie her tubes only to marry someone else
In a piece for New York Times, Monyetta Shaw, Ne-Yo's ex-fiancé and mother of his two oldest children, wrote about the pain she felt after agreeing to have her tubes tied at Ne-Yo's request, saying Ne-Yo was supposed to undergo a sterilization procedure as well only to find out he never went through with it.Excerpts from the piece written by Monyetta for the NY Post
On Oct. 9, 2011, I delivered a healthy baby boy, my second child, Mason, and I finally felt my family was complete. So before the doctors finished up in the delivery room, I told them: “I want you to burn my fallopian tubes.”
My fiancé, Shaffer Chimere Smith (better known as R&B artist Ne-Yo), was right by my side, holding my hand the entire time. The doctor must have asked us eight times if this was what we wanted. Each time, we both replied yes.
Sterilization was something Ne-Yo and I discussed thoroughly in the months leading up to the baby’s delivery. We had a daughter, Madilyn, in 2010, and two children seemed like more than enough for the both of us. Ne-Yo also agreed to undergo a vasectomy to show our mutual commitment to the relationship.
We first met in 2009 at a Jamie Foxx concert in Louisiana. He asked me out several times before I said yes — and then I fell for him fast. He had such a good heart, and that’s what attracted me to him.
The next year, I found out I was pregnant. It wasn’t a complete surprise, as we weren’t using protection, and we knew instantly that this child was a gift from God.
After starting a family, I fell more in love than ever. In 2010, during a weekend in the Dominican Republic for [rapper] Fabolous’ birthday, Ne-Yo asked me to marry him. We were in a suite, and he told everybody to be quiet. He pulled my hand, dropped down to one knee, and I immediately started crying. He incorporated the lyrics from his song “Make Me Better” and pulled out a 10-carat diamond ring.
In 2011, I found out I was pregnant with Mason.
This time, Ne-Yo wasn’t there a lot. Our home base was in Atlanta, but he spent most of his time working in Los Angeles. I told him, “Our family should be in LA with you,” but he was adamant that his family grow up in Atlanta.
I would travel to see him sometimes, but as the pregnancy progressed I could no longer fly. But he was there for Mason’s birth, and gave me a high-five in the delivery room. Immediately after, the doctor performed the sterilization procedure. I had no regrets.
I was so busy caring for two young children, I just assumed Ne-Yo had followed through and had gotten the vasectomy. I trusted him so much that it never even crossed my mind that he hadn’t gone through with it.
But then, in June 2013 — just two months before our August wedding — Ne-Yo called.
“I don’t want to be monogamous anymore,” he told me — in other words, he wanted to break up. A week later, we had a deep conversation face to face. I was so hurt and distraught; my parents have been together for 44 years, and I always assumed our relationship would last for the rest of our lives. The thought of him and my kids not living under the same roof was devastating.
A week after our split, Ne-Yo posted the news on Instagram. It wasn’t long until VH1 producers called and asked me to join the reality show “Atlanta Exes,” which followed me along with other ex-wives of Hollywood stars, such as Tameka [Foster], Usher’s ex.
Then, in 2014, when Ne-Yo released his music video for “Money Can’t Buy,” I found out that he was dating the video’s vixen, Crystal Renay, known for posting racy photos on Instagram.
My world came crashing down all over again: I had tried to understand that he didn’t want to be monogamous, but then he went and found a different woman whom he was ready to be monogamous with?
It hurts to see them parade their love on social media. They recently married, on Feb. 20, and Crystal gave birth to their first son. She seems like a nice girl, but I would be worried if I were she. How does she know that he’s not going to do the same thing to her that he did to me?
Adding to the pain is knowing that if I find another man to love, I may not be able to start a family with him. I’m too scared to go to a doctor to find out if there’s anything they can do about it. Because I do want to get married someday, and if my future husband does not have kids, I will want to have his children.
Despite all of the hurt, there has been one bright spot. I’ve had so many women reach out to me via social media, pouring their hearts out about similar regrets. I’m glad that I’ve been able to counsel some of them as they navigate their own hardships.
Now I look back and wonder what I was thinking. I love hard, and I made so many permanent decisions based on what I thought a man wanted from me, not what I wanted for myself. When my daughter comes of age, I will tell her: “Your body is your temple. Don’t do anything to it you don’t want to regret.”
Today, I’m finally at peace. I took awhile to get here, and I don’t know if I’ll ever be exactly where I want to be, but I make the choice each day to be happy, not just for me, but for my two kids. That’s where the title of my book comes from — this is all bigger than me.
