#goosebumps: Kourtney Kardashian’s Urgent Fetal Surgery to Save Unborn Baby’s Life Was Successful.

Travis, kourtney’s husband disembarked from his musical tour just to be by the side of his wife as she undergoes an unusual surgery.

“Due to an urgent family matter, Travis has had to return home to the States. The Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin shows are being postponed. More information in regards to his return to Europe and rescheduled dates will be provided as soon as available.” a supposed manager reported.

Kourtney had an urgent female surgery to save the life of their unborn child. She posted about it on her Twitter page telling her family and friends how successful the surgery went. She thanked her doctors immensely for coming through with the surgery.

“will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life. I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock. And to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through this.

As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear. I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.

Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing.”

Although they didn’t disclose what the purpose was other than that it was an emergency.

But how are unborn babies operated upon while they’re still in their mother’s womb? How do doctors get in there?

Some believed that Davido, Wizkid and Olamide have bagged several of these awards in the past and wanted to give room to upcoming stars. While some also believed that Wizkid was in no shape to attend the event as was mourning his mother’s passing;

 

@Oniyide Ayodele

“Wizzy no submit any of his songs for nomination so make nobody mention his name, it’s not possible for Machala to get 9 nominations without winning anything”

@God’swill Maxitonia

“They are bigger than it.. the young also has to grow… Wizzy and OBO are done”

 

@Kendrick Salvage

“Bro stop that negative caption, Davido and wizkid have many of this awards, the others have to get some too okay.”

 

@Daniel Ebiteme Hon Filatei

“Wiskid,davido biggest Star in the world”

 

@Kadiri Manfred

“So, Mr. Poster or blogger, you were expecting Wizkid to attend a show in a time like this that he is mourning the lost of his mother.

Akon Said He Needed to Bury His African Roots To Grow His Music Career

0

Akon in an interview with BBC recounted his experiences in the music industry. The middle aged R&B singer who started his musical career in the early 2000s said his producers weren’t interested in other types of music genre particularly Afrobeat.

The USA born Senegalese who spent his childhood between New Jersey and the African country said that he needed to bury his African roots if he wanted to excel in his musical career in the US.

#goosebumbs, “One of the biggest things that I had to actually distance myself from at the time when I did come out, was the fact that I was African,” he tells BBC Newsbeat.

“That wasn’t really something that they could market or promote in that kind of arena that I was actually playing in.”

According to him, he did that because of the financial demands of his business and the need to make money.

However, looking at where he is now, he told BBC news that he’s no longer under much pressure to make money, but passion and love for music are his drive. Hence he is able to include more of an African influence to his songs without the fear of dealing with politics and the likes of it

“Music is not my first revenue stream now, it has dropped down to maybe the tenth,” he says.”

“I can enjoy doing it without dealing with politics, and the music business that comes with it,” he says.

Following his successes, he pointed out that the tracks on his new Afro Freaks EP are a “huge evolution” from his popular tracks Lonely and Locked Up which of course aligns with the type of music he already tried to boost from 2008, a music with a  mix of African and Western influences, but unfortunately it didn’t pull through.

This even led him to sign Wizkid to his own label in 2008.

“I remember back in the early 2000s, when I was trying to market and get Afrobeats in America signed, they thought it was Reggae music,” he says.

“It was one of the things that was so frustrating, trying to get them to understand the African population was so big, and this music will be the future.

“Unfortunately, I got a lot of pushback.”

However, the tides are turning out very nicely today as European success of acts like Davido,”changed the dynamics” for Afrobeats artists, Akon says, and gave them a better idea of how to crack the US.

Adding that leading social media has a Huge role to play “to put the word out”. And I think social media had a huge role to play in expanding the sound of different genres, because we didn’t really have any platforms,” he says.

Kim Kardashian makes fun of her law school journey after failing to pass the bar

0

Kim Kardashian’s law school journey takes an unexpected turn as news broke that she had not passed the bar exam on her first attempt.

In a surprising move, Kardashian chose to address her failure with a touch of humor.

She posted a picture of a Snoopy artwork to her Story which read: “I ain’t passed the bar, but I know a lil’ bit…”

The quote is a lyric from Jay Z’s hit song 99 Problems. Through her social media account, she candidly shared her experience, making light of the situation while acknowledging the challenges she faced. This approach showcased her ability to handle setbacks with grace and authenticity, endearing her even more to her millions of followers.

Despite not yet having qualified as a fully-fledged lawyer, Kim has already been able to achieve some successes in her legal career.

The TV star passing her baby bar exam in 2021. Her journey to this success was not an easy one, however, as it took the budding lawyer four attempts in order to pass.

Kardashian’s choice to study law was initially met with skepticism due to her celebrity background.

Critics questioned her commitment and labeled her endeavor as a mere publicity stunt. However, her actions proved otherwise. She engaged in a four-year apprenticeship at a law firm and demonstrated a genuine interest in criminal justice reform, particularly advocating for the release of non-violent offenders.

By openly discussing her law school journey and subsequent bar exam struggles, Kardashian inadvertently highlighted the difficulties that many aspiring lawyers face.

The bar exam is renowned for its complexity and rigorous demands, often requiring months of intensive preparation. Kardashian’s public acknowledgment of her failure helps destigmatize the notion of failure itself, demonstrating that even high-profile individuals encounter obstacles in their pursuits.

Pete Edochi Finally Speaks up About His Son’s (Yul) private life as issues mount on his taking of a second wife,Judy!

Since the saga began in early January and has been ongoing, netizens and fans have expressed concern about the turnaround of events, and have been longing to hear from the  grand and veteran actor, Pete Edochie who happens to be his father.

Although, Pete explained that he doesn’t interfere in his son’s personal affairs because he believes they’re all adults. He however granted interview with Chude Jideonwo.

Here’s the conversation ;

“PETE: First of all, Yul is 41 and I really don’t interfere in his affairs, no.  Suddenly we heard he’s picked up a second wife.

CHUDE: You didn’t know before he picked the wife up?

PETE: There is one thing you must know about me. I don’t lie, it’s not necessary. God created me so well, If I tell you this thing is black, it is black. You know, it’s like when he wanted to run for governor or something. When I saw his photograph, I thought it was introduction they were doing. There was someone who called me and said do you know something? Yul is running for governor and I said he must be crazy, how? I never heard it. I have 5 sons, I don’t interfere with their lives you know. If they say daddy, so and so thing is happening, good, if they don’t tell me, I don’t bother. If they tell me, beautiful. We just heard it and that’s it.

CHUDE: So you suddenly heard that he had taken a wife?

PETE: Yeah, we did, we did. There is something we always say in igbo: ‘if you go and pick up ant infested firewood, it’s a direct invitation to the lizards, come to roast, right?’ So, here I am and that’s all.

Mary is not just a daughter-in-law. I don’t want to say that I love Mary more than the other wives of my sons but the love I have for Mary is so strong, why? the father and I were very close. Yes and when we went for the traditional marriage rites in their place, the kind of reception their people gave me, I will never forget. Mary is a girl I love to the marrow. By the way, she is a wonderful person. Mary is a very very brilliant girl. You may not know that. Mary is a computer wizard, that lady you’re looking at, right and to a very large extent, the success of that home is to Mary’s credit, yeah. But again you know things like this happen and it’s so difficult to convince her that you’re not part of it. You know Mary is a wonderful person. In fact, I just had my 76th birthday and the message she put out was so endearing. Mary is a wonderful woman.

A lot of people have been advising her wrongly, you know, trying to see if they can sunder the link between herself and her husband. Most of these women who are advising her that way don’t have good homes. They don’t.”

Recall that May(Mary),Yul’s first wife had moved out of Yul’s life shortly after she lost her first son, and had filed for divorce.

He also expressed concern about his onscreen daughters whose marriages had failed. The likes of Tonto Dikeh, Chioma Chukwuka and Ireti.
