A woman in Texas lost $100K nightmare. The lady told the police she was fooled into forking over a fortune of her money to someone passing as the ‘24k magic’ hit maker Bruno Mars.
The alleged victim was 63-years of age when she told the police in Houston she had made an IG account in 2018, and connected with someone posing as Bruno Mars. She said that the person developed an online relationship with her and after sometime started asking for money.
She said that she did as the person who she thought was Bruno Mars asked. She cut a number of checks and went ahead and put them in the mail, as instructed – – one for $10k, and the second one for $90k.
Police say the money found its way into the bank account that belonged to a Chinwedu Azuonwu, a local man who was taken into custody on money laundering charges, along with a alleged accomplices, Basil Amadi, who’s similar charges. Both men were in court this week.
According to legal documents, acquired by TMZ, two cashier’s checks were made cheques were written out to “Chi Autos” at the behest of the imposter, to cover “tour expenses” …that’s what he told the woman, she added that he said he was leaving the tour to come be with her.
Police told local news outlets they believe these men may be low – level crooks working for scammers overseas, and are hoping they cooperate to help uncover a potentially substantial criminal ring.
How to remove the red effect has skyrocketed in google searches since the trend of the silhouette challenge- Pop Buzz
Non-Consensual felonies seem to be a crime most people still take very lightly even after several years of schooling society every year now 2021, we find ourselves treading over the topic-again.
This comes after the silhouette challenge on TikTok, which has taken the internet by storm. if you are unfamiliar with this spicy trend- it involves a person dressed fully and showing off their sensual moves typically next to a doorway. The whole body is then covered by a red video effect resulting in a shadow engulfed image giving off a silhouette effect hence the trend is then called the ‘silhouette’ challenge. The background track is catchy no lie- It features the classic ‘Put Your Head On My Shoulder by Paul Anka then quickly lapses to Doja Cat’s Streets which offers a sensual vibe to the challenge. Think more of the ‘Buss IT’ challenge which typically starts by showing the featured person with plain-jane looks then immediately to an alluring look as the beat drops.
Sure this all sounds fun and the whole initiative point of the challenge was a form of empowerment to make everyone, either young or old feel daringly hot and comfortable in their bodies at the comfort of their home. The commotion began when people started circulating the idea to remove the red effect so to disable the silhouette effect. This quickly became a buzzkill for many, especially for those who had turned things up a notch by participating in the challenge only in their birthday suit (naked). This alarming reveal was swiftly warned by tweeter user
@ZySavy – “If yall do the #silhouttechallenge please do not do it completely naked. Long story short, red is a primary colour that canbe easily removed with video editing. if you don’t want your naked highly visible butt shared on the web… you know the rest”
To support this statement further- google searches with ‘how to remove red light on silhouette challenge’ has skyrocketed since the start of this viral trend. Good news though, perpetrators can be fined up to R300 000 and a maximum of four years in prison in South African law should they be found guilty of such an act.
This phenomenon is called “revenge porn” and it is illegal in South Africa. Revenge porn or “non-consensual pornography” is defined by the Film and Publication Bill of 2015, as the sharing or distribution of any nude or sexually explicit material without permission or consent with the express purpose of humiliating the victim or to make a profit. Contents can be shared via text messages, emails, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok, pornographic websites and so forth.
All I did was type “how to” on YouTube and the first thing hang pops up is “how to remove red filter from silhouette challenge” y’all females be safe!!!

Fun. – Some Nights
Some Nights is a song by American indie pop band Fun. It was released on June 4, 2012, after their first single “We Are Young” This is the year which many believed the conspiracy that the world was coming to an end, also the movie 2012 was a huge contribution to that belief. Hopefully, 2021 will have fewer conspiracies and the group will finally release an album!
WTF (Witness The Funk)- Nomusa
Released 2015, these cool Durbanite kids really brought the game in the hip-hop segment with this single. These were the days Gqom was dominating way before Amapiano took over – many argued that this song had the Rae Sremmurd’s No Type sound and vibe to it, Agree?
Jimmy Nevis- Heartboxing
All the way from Cape Town, Jimmy had the Mzansi peeps wearing their hearts on their sleeves with this single, released in 2012, this single gained popularity with its solidified texture of visuals. His recent single titled Hey Jimmy is out now!
Teargas- Mhlobo Wami
This is a real throwback, way before Bonang was a business mogul and K.O a renowned RSA rapper. The single was released back in 2009 by the group Teargas. It is still a banger to date.
DJ Kent feat. Maleh- Falling
If you enjoy the sounds of DaCapo, DJ Fresh then this is for you. DJ Kent released this hit song back in 2013, the leading vocalist, Maleh is the one who makes the song pure magic and a classic.
The Parlotones- Push Me To The Floor
From their album- Dragonflies and Astronauts in 2005, this single won the Best Music video of the year in the SAMA’s that year.
Freshlyground- I’d Like
This song got so many couples together back in the days. I’d Like was released in 2004 under the album ‘Nomvula’ and yet this soft serenade is and will always be fitting for any ‘love confession’ scenario, don’t believe me? send it to your crush!
Zola- uMdlwembe
Forget Rihanna’s Needed me-If you wanted to channel your inner savageness- this was the theme song back in the year 2000 when Zola released this hit single. The song did remarkably well and receiving numerous SAMA nominations and awards. It was again featured as a soundtrack in ‘Tsotsi’ – a crime drama film produced right here in Mzansi.
Avril Lavigne- Here’s To Never Growing Up
2013 might not really seem like a long time ago but this song definitely made tons of people’s matric after parties memorable years after its release. ‘Teenage fever forever’ is the theme of the song- so if you are hitting the town after lockdown, definitely bump this one from the jukebox; for old time’s sake.
Lady Antebellum- Need You Now
Famously known as Lady A, this country group the world by storm when it was formed back in 2006. A number of its singles were featured in numerous American TV shows which were on popular demand at the time, for example, The Hills. The group’s sound was often likened to that of British pop band ‘Westlife’ and musician, Shayne Ward.
What are some of your favourite throwback songs? Let’s hear them in the comments’ section!

Well, this one is finally inclusive of ladies, I know a few girls who are die-hard fans of GTA and, many kids love it. however, some parents may complain about its graphic and violent nature.

This Action-adventure game was released back in 2019, best believe if there are government agent spies with superpowers involved, that is about to be a killer game. If you enjoy fantasy such as X-men then this is your lane.

Absolutely amazing fun if you enjoy progression based action games. Similar to Ori in the Blind Forest in that you unlock new abilities as you play that make combat more and more fluid and therefore more and more fun. By the end of the game, you feel amazingly powerful and combat feels incredibly smooth and just... fun - Sarah Bacak
God of War
Released in 2018, this combat packed game is all for those who love the adrenaline pulsing through their bodies, the moves are a bit hard to master though- practice makes you perfecto, here’s what others had to say about this butt-kicking masterpiece

Completely mindblown by The Outer Worlds, beautiful scenery on all the planets/stations, great story, truly engaging side and companion missions.- Unknown
I cant thank them enough for saving the Genre which was otherwise falling down the micro transaction hole. If you loved Fallout New Vegas, you will love The Outer Worlds.- Matt Barker
Fortnite- Chapter 2
This is a classic game that all gamers know. For a start, it’s free to play so everyone can get involved, and even its in-game emotes have become real-world dance crazes.
Review: Well, Fortnite is still as addictive as ever, although I have to say they kind of nerfed it when they introduced Chapter 2. It’s easier, it’s much more bubblegum, and it just doesn’t feel the same. It’s lost the atmosphere that made Battle Royale exciting and adrenaline-filled. I have to agree with Ninja when he says that “Fortnite’s boring now.” I think it is geared towards a younger audience now, and I do feel a bit daft playing it sometimes - Medium Loki
“I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf [sic] for ‘prison reform,’” the rapper tweeted.
Kim and Kanye are popular for being one of the most unconventional married couples in Hollywood, the two dated in 2012 and tied the knot in the year 2014- in an over the top wedding ceremony.
The year 2020 has seemingly rocked their boat of happiness as it has been reported that Kim has hired Laura Wasser, the powerful divorce attorney who has previously represented Angelina Jolie, Heidi Klum, and Kardashian herself during her 2011 divorce from Kris Humphries.
Kim Kardashian has reportedly ditched her $1,3M wedding ring after the couple spent the whole festive season apart, with Kanye doing his own thing at his lavish Wyoming ranch.
Almost everything Kanye West has done since marrying Kim is to make her and his family happy. A break in that through divorce really worries me for him man…
I truly hope Kanye is doing okay and everything works out for him, hearing his music you can tell how much she means.
I don’t have an opinion on Kanye West and Kim Kardashian seperating, I am just using this as an opportunity to post my favorite Kanye clip 😂 pic.twitter.com/CxSsITXU2K

“For a couple of days, I couldn’t get out of the bed, I didn’t care. That’s not me” she said in the latest episode of Peace of Mind with Taraji
The actress
opened up about the dark place she was in amid the ongoing pandemic, talking
about how she had thoughts about taking her own life, in conversation with Dr.
LaShonda Green, a licenced psychologist.
Taraji
said: “For a couple of days, I couldn’t get out of bed, I didn’t care. That’s
not me.” She continued in conversation, saying “I started having thoughts about
ending it”, as she explained that she had recently purchased a gun and
considered using it, saying “I could go in there right now, and just end it all”.
She
continued on, saying she “didn’t care” about leaving her 26-year-old son
Marcell, that her son will not be affected over her death, she said “He’s
grown, He’ll get over it. I didn’t care. I felt myself withdrawing. People were
calling me, I wasn’t responding, I didn’t care.” She said that she has finally
spoken to her friends and opening up about how she was feeling and how it
helped her overcome them.
She
went on further in the conversation explaining that “for me, I’m no
professional, but I felt like, If I don’t say it, it becomes a plan.” She continued
by saying “and what scared me, is that I did it two nights in a row. And the
thoughts kept coming. Now I started to think about how. At first, it was
like, I don’t want to be here. And then I started thinking about going and
getting the gun and that’s why when I woke up the next morning, and I blurred
it out” in her discussion with Dr. LaShonda Green.
Green then reassured Henson that having such unhealthy thoughts is “absolutely normal”.
