DJ Pius takes on management

It looks like DJ Pius is trying to do a little bit of everything, if what we’ve heard is true. Many have seen him spinning discs in clubs around town, and at music shows as a professional deejay, and once that was established, he also became an artiste, and now has some club bangers to his name.  Some say he used his position as a deejay to kick-start his music career, others say it was in his blood and only a matter of time before he took it on.  Pius is now trying to enter the management field, sources say. We are told that this inspiration is derived from his passion to see other artistes grow.  Some are criticising him for not sticking to his career as an artiste, as many believe this could take him to greater heights.

But his vision is seemingly bigger. In fact, word has it that the singer has already started reaching out to upcoming artistes and deejays to support them.

Singer Diamond Platnumz shows off new house, says he needs a wife to manage it

The Jibebesinger had quite the busy birthday on Tuesday, October 2, as he had a performance in Namibia before heading to South Africa.

His birthday was full of messages of long life and best wishes from fans and fellow celebrities.

There was no taking away Diamond’s shine on the day, however, as the singer was well aware of the gift that awaited him when he arrived in South Africa. In a series of videos, an excited Diamond shows off what looks like a very costly mansion in Johannesburg, where he is set to host a high-end birthday party. The house, to say the least, befits a king as it is equipped with a swimming pool with wonderful white walls, nicely manicured lawns and a massive parking lot which can fit quite a number of cars.

It is not clear whether Diamond purchased the house or it is a rented one but he did a pretty good job convincing fans he was set to live there. It is said that the house initially was put up for sale and that there is a pretty good chance Diamond could be renting the exquisite piece of property.

Sonia Rolland single again

Miss France 2000, Sonia Rolland met Jalil Lespert, an actor and director, at the end of 2008 during a photo shoot for Italian magazine Vogue Hommes.

The couple that liked to keep their relationship from the eyes of the media is said to have broken up.

The rumours of the break up started coming in last week, and different news outlets reported that the relationship had ended. The two have a child together.

However, this is not Rolland’s first break up; the Rwandan-French actress once lived with Christophe Rocancourt. They announced their split in 2008 and also have a child together.

The Weeknd sued over hit song "Starboy”

The Weeknd has been hit with a $5 million (GBP3.8 million) lawsuit over his hit song Starboy.

Songwriter Yasminah claims his hit 2016 track is a copy of her 2009 song Jewel of My Life, also known as Hooyo.

According to TMZ sources, two producers previously threatened legal action and subsequently settled with The Weeknd’s record label bosses before going to court, but Yasminah is now launching her own lawsuit, claiming she never received any money from the agreement.

Otile Brown follows Vera Sidika to Dubai

In the three-minute song, the fast rising Kenyan love ballads singer reveals it was a case of "not all glitters is gold” as he says he loved Sidika to the extent of fighting her wars, though in a chorus, he insists he will weather the storm.

A lot has happened since that Friday, August 17, when all hell broke loose bringing down the Otile’s love empire. Fast forward, the Bad Man Shivo as he is known,  sent out such a sweet romantic message to Sidika on her birthday on September 30, where he admitted the ex-video vixen was such a beautiful woman to love and that he sometimes misses her nonetheless.

"You are such a beautiful person, lively and kind. I do miss you sometimes. Happy birthday Ma, more life more blessings,” he wrote. Sidika would later fly out to Dubai to celebrate her birthday. While in the Emirates city, the vivacious socialite was seen doing some sky diving, luxury shopping and a bike ride in between, an indication she was getting over her nasty break up.

The latest gossip on the street is that the singer, born Jacob Juma Obunga, is airborne en route to Dubai and fans are thinking perhaps, someone is following his ex to make amends.

Where matters of the heart are involved, only the lovers can tell what they are up to but clearly, some fans think there is more than meets the eye.
