Kim Kardashian Legally Single from Kanye West

A Los Angeles judge has granted reality TV star, Kim Kardashian’s request to be declared legally single from rapper Kanye West, after nearly eight years of marriage.

The businesswoman and star of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” filed for divorce a year ago, citing irreconcilable differences with West, who had legally changed his name to Ye.

The couple have four children from  ages two to eight.

West, 44, had objected to the divorce and publicly appealed for his wife to return to their marriage.

In recent Instagram posts, he criticised her parenting and her new relationship with “Saturday Night Live” actor Pete Davidson.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Steve Cochran approved Kardashian’s petition to end the marriage through a bifurcation proceeding, which allowed  for a change in marital status while other issues were addressed.

“The Court grants termination of the marital status,” the judge said in a written order issued after a public hearing.

A representative for West did not respond to a request for comment.

West and Kardashian, 41, married in May 2014, making them one of the most talked about celebrity couples in Hollywood, popularly known as “Kimye.”

The couple’s relationship became strained in 2020 when West, who suffered from bipolar disorder, ran an unsuccessful campaign marked by erratic statements to be elected U.S. president under his self-styled Birthday Party.

The pair grew further apart with the 21-time Grammy winner spending most of his time at his ranch in Wyoming and Kardashian remaining in their Calabasas, California, mansion outside Los Angeles.

Kardashian released a statement urging compassion for West’s mental heath struggles.

The marriage was the first for West and the third for Kardashian after she had brief marriages with basketball player Kris Humphries and music producer Damon Thomas. (NAN)

Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has stirred controversy on social media after revealing a strict list of conditions she expects from any man who wishes to pursue a romantic relationship with her.

The single mother of one took to her Instagram stories to share the requirements, which include a thorough investigation of the man’s background for two years, knowing his family, and even demanding an “artist’s fee” before he can speak to her.

Okorie boldly stated she expects men to pay a billion naira upfront, adding she does not care if people accuse her of “selling her love.

She wrote: “A male friend of mine said, ‘Angela, any guy wey you go date or marry you, we go investigate am for 2 years before you go gree… He will pay artists fee every day before he go talk to you else we no go gree o…’

So note that before dating or marriage you will pay a billion naira.

Before relationship, I don’t care if people say I am selling my love, Yes am selling my love o.”

Angela’s post quickly went viral, sparking varied reactions from netizens. Some praised her for setting high standards, while others mocked or questioned her demands.

Comments ranged from support like, “Her life, her choice, her list,” to skepticism: “Wait! She’s still thinking of marriage?” and humorous jabs such as, “And for that 2 years that same male friend (bestie) will be eating the cookie free of charge.”

Made Kuti Calls out Nigerian Celebs with Fleets of Cars

Published

Share

Grammy-nominated Afrobeat artiste, Made Kuti, has stirred conversations online after questioning why some individuals feel the need to acquire multiple cars.

In a recent interview with Pulse, the son of Afrobeat legend Femi Kuti expressed his disinterest in material possessions, attributing his mindset to his upbringing and values instilled by his father.

“I’m the kind of person who just does what he wants.

Maybe my dad was very clever with how he raised us,” he said.

Made explained that while others may find joy in material accumulation, he finds it “weird” to own seven or eight cars, noting that vehicles are depreciating assets.

“For example, how many cars do you need to drive? I genuinely don’t understand why you need 7, 8 cars.

They are depreciating assets. In the next couple of years, they will depreciate.”

He added that although others may have different interests, his personal values are grounded in simplicity and purpose, rather than excessive wealth.
