Check out this controversial article written by journalist Nirpal Dhaliwal Via The Evening Standard This week’s report into last summer’s riots found that the shooting of Mark Duggan was apparently the last straw for a black community under siege from the Met and its stop-and-search tactics. But this week has also seen the conviction of three young black men for shooting a five-year-old girl, Thusha Kamaleswaran, through the spine in an attempted gangland hit. The killing of a known criminal and gang […]

In a recent interview with ES Magazine model Tyson Beckford really had a lot to say about himself and his girlfriend fellow model Shanina Shaik…. When I found her (Shanina Shaik) she was a regular girl. I helped place her with the right people, get her teeth cleaned, her body toned up. Everything changed and now everyone wants a piece of her. I hear people say, ‘You can do better than Tyson.’ I’m like, ‘Really? Really?! I created her!’ As a supermodel I go with the other supers […]

When this was first brought to my attention (thanks Tahirah) I refused to believe it was true. I thought that this was some kind of a joke. That she was pulling my leg. But I was wrong…. (shaking my head). On a jewel of an island floating in the Caribbean Sea, William Shakespeare’s “MacBeth” is retold using a Modern Day Monarchy as its backdrop. This Universal and relevant story will come to life in a World where Black West Indians rule exclusively over a […]

TV and radio personality Reggie Yates appeared on BBC Breakfast this morning with former gang member Aaron Rhoden to talk about his new BBC3 documentary on Teen Gangs. ….

I see some potential there and he seems like a decent young man. Your thoughts please….

N-Dubz star and X-Factor Judge Tulisa Contostavlos’ former lover MC Ultra (real name Justin Edwards) appeared at London’s High Court earlier today to deny being the ‘low life’ that “leaked” their tired sex-tape last week on the Internet. In a sworn statement 28-year-old Edwards supported the ban on the tape and blamed Tulisa for the existence of the tape. He said, ” I regret ever allowing the claimant (Tulisa) to persuade me to film ourselves.” He also claims that their intimate moments were filmed on her phone and he had nothing to […]
