RIhanna named best selling digital artist of all-time…

The Recording Industry Association of America says Rihanna has sold more digital singles than anyone else in history. With the iTunes store only opening in 2003, the digital music industry is still pretty young, but it’s far from devoid of competition, commerce and platinum-selling artists. In a new report, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has revealed that Rihanna is the first artist to ever sell over 100 million digital singles, and when combined with her cumulative 7.5 million digital album sales, that makes her the best selling digital artist of all-time.

In a statement included in the report, RIAA CEO Cary Sherman was quoted as saying by Complex Magazine, “Gold & Platinum is the industry’s premier way to celebrate achievement in the marketplace. We’ve given awards to artists for nearly 60 years, but it’s rare that we have the opportunity to recognize a milestone like the one Rihanna has reached. Congratulations to Rihanna! She has not only surpassed RIAA’s one-hundred million mark, but also is the first artist to do so. It’s an historic feat and a testament to an extraordinary career.”

Ubi Franklin Terrorised Me For Three Years – Emma Nyra

Ubi Franklin Tripple M boss was rumoured to have been in a sizzling romance with the record label first lady, Emma Nyra but they soon changed everyone’s notion when Ubi proposed to Lilian Esoro – Then there were interview granted by Emma Nyra were she denied ever dating her boss and there were other interviews where Ubi confirmed that he did date her – However, in a recent interview with Vanguard, Emma Nyra had this to say:

In a whatsapp chat with Vanguard, when she was asked if It was true that she left the label, because Ubi Franklin dumped her for Lillian Esoro, she said:

“Obviously, this is a lie… Ubi and I never dated. Rather he terrorised me for years. He abused me and other members of the label with physical and verbal force. This is why I left Triple MG the first time. He claims he spent money on me but failed to mention that he never gave me my payment for all the tours I have done alongside Iyanya. The true story lies between me and other members of Triple MG who have all chosen to be silent because of fear of one man.

I do not support abuse of women or men. That is why I left. “I don’t want to be involved with anything that has to do with Ubi Franklin ever again” she continued. “Honestly, I don’t want to see my name associated with Ubi in any way. Let these lies die down. I am moving on with my career. Thank God”.

Whereas Ubi, when he was asked what went down between him and Emma, he said:

“ In every matter of this nature, there is always your side, my side, their side and the truth. Only God knows the truth and in good time, the truth will come to light. God never sleeps. Everything that’s hidden will come to the open in God’s time. No need to speak to defend yourself or defend anyone”

Transgender People to Now Be Referred to as Mx

Transgender people stuck in between using Mr Mrs or Miss now have an option – They can now be referred to as Mx( for example a man who used to be known as Mr John Brown and decided to got through gender change surgery to become a woman, can now be referred to as Mx Joan Brown instead of Mrs or Miss) according to new reports…

Daily Mail Uk reports that:

A new gender neutral title ‘Mx’ is to join the honorifics ‘Mr, Mrs, Miss and Ms’ on driving licences and other official documents, the first change to officially recognised titles in decades.

Royal Mail, high street banks, government departments and some universities all now accept Mx which is used by transgender people or other individuals who do not identify with a particular gender.

The title has been added, without fanfare, to official forms and databases and is under consideration by the Oxford English Dictionary for inclusion in its next edition.

I think this is only apllicable in the UK as we don’t know of any hospital in Nigeria were sex change surgeries are carried out or are there???
