    Award winning artist Oscar Mbo Accused of Being a biggest Scammer

    Award winning artist Oscar Mbo, has topped the Twitter trends list as he is embroiled in a nasty payment drama and his fans are disappointed at him.

    This comes after being accused of being a “no-show” at gig after being paid to play at the gig. A DJ by the handle of @DeejayArchieSA, has accused Oscar of ducking with his booking fee after he booked him in December through his manager Yolisa. Oscar was supposed to play at his gig on 28 December 2021 but he did not.

    The DJ has come out guns blazing to vent out his frustrations, about the payment he made to the DJ, and he was a no show on his gig.
    Although he did not reveal how much he paid him, he said he has been trying to reach him to no avail. Oscar has apparently blocked his calls and his manager is also not picking up her phone.

    “OK I booked Oscar Mbo last year December through his manager Yolisa, I paid them the full amount according to our agreement. Ok Oscar didn’t pitch ka di 28 December. I am still waiting for a refund even now. He blocked my calls and his manager is not taking my calls. I need a refund,” he tweeted.

    Oscar’s manager had sent him a message on the 28th letting him know that they had experienced a lot of inconveniencies and would not be able to make it. She apologized for not delivering what they promised and offered him a two-hour set on another day but has since not honoured their promise.

  • Disney responds to Peter Dinklage’s criticism of Snow White remake

    Disney responds to Peter Dinklage’s criticism of Snow White remake

    Disney has responded to criticism made by Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage about its forthcoming live action adaptation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Dinklage said the remake of the 1937 animated film, based on the story from the Brothers Grimm, was “backward”. Disney said it was going to “avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film”.

    Dinklage had said Disney should have reassessed the project. I was a little taken aback by [the fact] they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White,” he told podcaster Marc Maron.

    “But you’re still telling the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Take a step back and look at what you’re doing there, it makes no sense to me. Dinklage – who stars in the forthcoming Oscar-tipped film Cyrano – has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia.

    The actor has previously spoken about the representation of dwarfism, saying it was “bad writing” to make it a “dominant character trait”. The original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs film, released in 1938, was the first full-length animated feature from Disney, and is considered one of the studio’s classics.

    West Side Story star Rachel Zegler and Red Notice actress Gal Gadot are set to star in the adaptation, as Snow White and the Evil Queen respectively. They were so proud of that, and all love and respect to the actress and the people who thought they were doing the right thing but I’m just like, ‘What are you doing?’”

    British Paralympian swimmer Will Perry, who has publicly condemned people who abuse him, said people with dwarfism were often portrayed as “mythical or comical characters” on film and TV.

    He told Nicky Campbell on BBC Radio 5 Live: “I know loads of people who love [Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs] for the right reason… but we are now in the 21st Century. People like Disney, who have influence over young people, need to be influencing them in the right direction.”

    In a statement, Disney said the live action remake will be an updated version of the original 1937 film. We are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community,” it said in a statement.

    “We look forward to sharing more as the film heads into production after a lengthy development period.”

    Oscar-nominated producer Marc Platt, who also worked on Disney’s live-action rendition of The Little Mermaid, is set to produce the film.

    Emtee is a Gentleman – Pearl Thusi

    Celebrity friendships are a good thing to see but there is something about Pearl Thusi‘s friendship with Emtee – we just can’t put our finger on it. One thing we do know, is that they care deeply for one another and are not afraid to show it.

    Pearl Thusi scored herself a date with Twitter’s most famous serial dater, Michael Bucwa, AKA Mr. SMEG. But fans expressed concern over Emtee saying he made a whole hit song about Pearl Thusi, named Pearl Thusi and even featured Pearl herself, but all he got was a shoutout and a friendship, not even a date.

    Now, we know the fan was trolling because they added that the Manando hitmaker did not even get a hand shake.

    “Once upon a time someone even realise a song called “Pearl Thusi” but didn’t even get a date, not even a hand shake, oww poor @emteerecords,” said the tweep.

    Pearl Thusi however defended Emtee, like they always defend each other, and narrated a time when Emtee was the ultimate gentleman to her.

    She said Emtee invited her to a plane after she attended a gig and also made sure that she got home safely. She said this was so gentleman like of him.

  • Is Tristan Thompson possibly cheating again?

    Is Tristan Thompson possibly cheating again?

    A video has surfaced on Twitter of Tristan Thompson looking very cosy with another woman that is not reality TV star Khloe Kardashian. In the video an unknown woman is seen sitting on Tristan’s lap and they appear to be engaged in a flirtatious conversation.
    It is unclear when the video was taken but if Tristan’s track record is anything to go by, it could have been taken when he was still dating Khloe. The basketball player has been in a five year on-and-off relationship with Khloe, and they share a three-year-old daughter True.

    The couple are reportedly not together after Tristan’s most recent paternity drama came to light. Tristan recently admitted to fathering a child with Maralee Nichols. He wrote on his Instagram Stories.

    “Today, paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols. I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established I look forward to amicably raising our son.

    “I sincerely apologise to everyone I’ve hurt or disappointed throughout this ordeal both publicly and privately“.
    Khloe and Tristan are reportedly only in touch regarding the logistics around their daughter, and their romantic relationship seems to be off the cards.

    A source told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “Khloe and Tristan are in touch about logistical things and about what’s going on with True, and that’s really the focus when they’re communicating. He has been apologetic and attempting to make things better.

    According to Hollywoodlife, Tristan reached out to Khloe’s mother Kris Jenner in an effort to get back in Khloe’s good graces.

    What Exactly Happened to Khanyi Mbau’s Baby Daddy?

    One of the biggest mysteries of Khanyi Mbau’s life is who is her baby daddy, and where is he now? She rarely talks about him, and knowing their history, we understand why. But considering their history and how much of a public figure he was, it’s actually a genuine question: what happened to him?

    You may not even know who he is as he has been gone from her life for many years now and has no known contact with their daughter Khanukani aka Cannes. Khanyi’s baby daddy is Mandla Mthembu, a renowned businessman who has since just disappeared from the spotlight.

     

    Khanyi and Mandla had quite the toxic relationship according to reports. The two were married when she got pregnant with Cannes, but her fragile state did not stop the millionaire from allegedly being physically violent towards her. In fact, he is said to have pushed her down the stairs, an injury which forced her into preterm labour, which is how she had her beautiful daughter. Can you imagine that?
