"Liar!" - US-based Nigerian musician, King Hollywood, fires back at Bobrisky; shares screenshots of transfer to dispute Bob's claims

King Hollywood, a US-based Nigerian singer, called out Bobrisky earlier today for allegedly scamming him (read here).

But Bobrisky replied, claiming King Hollywood only paid him N50K to promote his music on SnapChat which he did (read here).

To dispute Bobrisky's claim, King Hollywood shared screenshots to prove that it was N100K that was paid to the popular Nigerian crossdresser.







He also went on to claim Bobrisky never carried out the promotion he was paid for.







King Hollywood used to work behind the scene in Nollywood before he relocated out of Nigeria. He worked with actors like Osita Iheme and Chinedu Ikedieze.







He wrote to Bobrisky:


Bobrisky you a scammer and a liar.
My boss @princehollywood147 didn’t mention the amount because he wanted you to tell your own side of story with your usual lies. My boss knew nothing about my transaction with you until the business deal we had soured. I even told one of your friends you respect and she talked to you about the deal and you pleaded you will start with the promotion. I had chatted you 3 months ago and we had a call to establish trust after someone recommended you, I am the manager to Esquare and Esquare gave me money for their song promotion and I decided to use some of the money to try you out, we concluded 100k which you were gonna promote for 1 week after you had told me it’s 400k for a month but I said lets do one week and see how it goes. We never mentioned 50k in our conversation and my chat and transfer slip will show how of a bloody liar and a scammer you are. Maybe the gender disorder you have has disoriented your brain to the extent you couldn’t remember you collected 100k and now tried to make it look like it’s 50k. All the deal you had was with me and the money was not mine but my boss @princehollywood147 . You made me send you the money after you had promised me that you will start uploading that same day you got the money. Immediately you confirmed you got the money, you never chatted me for weeks.One day turned one week and I was patient enough and one week turned one month and one month turned 2 months. You changed your phone number and after I had chatted you severally on instagram, you promised to start with the job that you were going through emotional disturbances due to UK deporting you. I understood what you were going through even though you abandoned the job you were paid for to go flex in London. You sent me your new number and promised again you will start the job last week which I have been waiting for since and without any tangible story for me to pass to my boss and he decided to let the cat out. Bobrisky stop scamming people and I have our WhatsApp, Instagram and audio voice chats. With this post you made now, people can now tell that you are a bloody liar and nothing about you is real. This is part 1. @realesquare

Ariana Grande inks over the matching engagement tattoo she got with Pete Davidson (Photo)

Ariana Grande has started wiping out every memory of her ex-fiance, Peter Davidson from her life.

The 25-year-old singer has inked over one of the matching tattoos she got with the comedian to celebrate their engagement.

This week, she posted an Instagram story that showed her clinking glasses with a group of friends and the 'reborn' tat that she once had has now been replaced with an olive branch.







Ariana and Peter split in September, after being together for six months. She reportedly returned the $100k engagement ring, but kept the pet pig 'Piggie Smalls' they adopted together.

Toke Makinwa speaks against long term relationships, says it never translates into a happy married life; Uses Diddy and Cassie as an example

In her new vlog, media personality/author/businesswoman, Toke Makinwa, spoke on long term relationships. According to her, dating the same guy for over 5 years and above is just a waste of time.

Toke who is divorced from ex-husband, Maje Ayide, said she is talking from experience as she has also being in a long term relationship. She stated that having a long term relationship does not translate to a happy married life when the couple decide to tie the knot.




''I do not understand why you should date someone for more than two and a half years. That is my take. I feel like if you meet someone, two years is decent, two and half years is decent, By three years, its like 'what again are your trying to find out'. What didn't you find out in the first and second year. I feel like 5 years is taking the piece and for seven years, you are absolutely having a laugh. By 10 years, it's like ''are you the lord of the rings? I can say this because I have been in a long term relationship so I can tell you how I feel about it. My answer is no because I feel like often times, long courtships do not translate to a happy marriage. Sometimes you find people who date forever and when they get married, they don't make it past that year or two or three years. You find people who get married in a year and a half and 10 years down the line, they are still together. When people show you who they are, you have to believe them.

If you find yourself in a five year, seven years 10 years relationship, it is enough for you to sit back and ask the guy what is going on and where are we going to? Why would you want to date someone for seven years. In that seven years, some people have gotten together, gotten married, had children, divorced and you are still this person's girlfriend. There is nothing that you would not find out in three years that you want to find out in eight years.



On the recent breakup between Cassie and Diddy, Toke said




Cassie and Diddy everyone is talking about. They dated for eleven years. She was a baby when they met. This was a girl who came out, had an amazing single, very stunning young lady, all of a sudden she started dating Diddy. A lot of people asked questions because we have all known Diddy as a guy who has found it had to commit. He has had babymamas, he was engaged for a very long time. He has never hidden the fact that he is not the commitment type of guy. I have always often wondered why Cassie stayed that long. This is a girl that could have done so much more in the last eleven years than traveling with Diddy, kissing him on Instalive and just being his girlfriend. If you are stuck in a relationship with someone who can empower you and all they would rather see you as is a hand bag, girl you should walk away. It semed like she was more into the relationship than her own self development. I don't kno her and this is not judgement against her because people do whatever it is that makes them happy but I feel that a lot of people tend to date for a long time, hoping that it would either lead to marriage and sometimes it's often not the case. And now Diddy is dating a younger girl. I almost cried when I heard it. A 26 year old girl.

Cassie if you ever watch the video, you have to upgrade. You have to go and find a Russian billionaire. You know the type if you don't like to work, they would keep you in Gucci and Gold for the rest of your life. Then just hire Diddy to perform at your wedding. Just hire him because you feel like paying him some coins. That is the best revenge you can give to a guy like that.
