RICK ROSS: More Problems over Lyrics Controversy

Kiyo: A petition has been launched demanding that major sports brand Reebok discontinue using Rick Ross in their advertising, following his use of a lyric referencing date-rape.

Over 50 thousand people have called for him to be banned, though the rapper has spoken out to defend himself, saying rape is not something he ‘condones'.

The lyric in question features on Rocko’s song U.O.E.N.O and appears to have Ross rapping about drugging a woman with molly, which is slang for crystallised MDMA (Ecstasy Drug), and then having sex with her.

The questionable lyric is as follows: ‘Put molly all in her champagne / She ain’t even know it / I took her home and I enjoyed that / She ain’t even know it.’

Filo: I don’t get it, when you put molly in someone’s champagne, what would ensue.

Or maybe I should go with Kanye West who said ‘we rappers are role models we rap we don't think’

My Dad’s Friend Raped Me 5 Times

Sunday Nwankwo

Kiyo: A 10-year old girl (name withheld) who lives at Agbado Ijaiye area of Lagos, southwest Nigeria, has alleged that her father’s best friend, Sunday Nwankwo, raped her five times in two years.

Nwankwo was arraigned at the Magistrate’s Court 6, Ikeja and sent to Kirikiri Prison as he could not perfect the stringent bail conditions granted to him by the magistrate.

The accused had pleaded not guilty to the charge of defiling a minor and having carnal knowledge of her forcefully.

He was granted bail on the condition that he provides three sureties in like sum of N100,000 each, three years evidence of tax payment to the government and each of the surety must possess landed property worth N5 million.

Filo: Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are; if your best friend is a rapist, then who are you?

Kiyo: The accused was alleged to have been having sex with the little girl since she was eight years old.

Test conducted on the girl at the Orile Agege General Hospital showed that she was no longer a virgin.

The alleged illicit act was exposed when the three-year old brother of the victim told their mother that somebody used to lay his sister down when nobody was around.

Their mother became curious and questioned the girl, who later revealed that Nwankwo had been having sex with her, saying that he had slept with her five times.

Filo: This is totally unfair and unacceptable; any man with a trace of depravity should be castrated.
