Or then you remember some things.” Talking about the last time she saw her father, Stephanie noted that it was during Christmas. Now, with the holiday season approaching again, the memories and the pain of his absence are even more intense. “Like for me the last time I saw him was Christmas, and now it’s coming up… The weight of the holiday is gonna be heavier because that’s the last moment I was with him.” Her absence and lack of online presence led to rumors, with some people questioning whether there was a strained relationship between her and her late father. She has however made it clear that there was no conflict or bad blood between her and her late dad. “This is such a heavy question but I got so many people asking about it… Thank you for the people who asked it so nicely…One person asked, ‘Was there beef between you and dad?’, I hate that question but am here to answer. So, why did I not attend dad’s funeral?… There’s nowhere on green earth I would have rather been than at my dads funeral. Like nowhere!. So to the question of did we have beef, no, never!”

Kenyan businessman Raymond Omosa who is popularly known as the Kenyan Prince, has responded to claims that he deactivated his social media accounts following the arrest of 24 Kenyans by the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) in connection with a Ksh 1.1 billion card fraud scheme.  Kenyan Prince responded, dismissing the claims as baseless. “I’ve already moved past dealing with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). Now I’m with Interpol, and they still haven’t caught me! Bring in the CIA now,” Prince stated  Commenting on the recent death of two young businessmen, Prince noted that the cause of death is related to the company they keep and how they spend their money. “You cannot call yourself a billionaire while hanging out with people like ‘chokoraa’ . These young individuals are dying because they are chasing quick money. Someone wakes up one day, suddenly has Ksh 10 million, and decides they want to become Prince the Billionaire. This reckless behavior leads to young lives being lost,” Prince explained. The mysterious circumstances surrounding Billionaire Akoko and Denno Bright   continue to raise many questions.  The two were known for showcasing their lavish lifestyles on social media. His statement comes at a time when several Kenyans on social media alleged that he is also on Interpol’s radar after 24 Kenyans were arrested.

It is alleged that the fraud involves altering banking system security protocols to steal approximately USD 8.6 million (around KSh 1.1 billion), which was then redistributed to various companies and digital asset institutions.

Diddy Combs denied bail for third time in sex-trafficking case

Renowned  rapper Diddy Combs has been denied bail for the third time by a judge in New York City in sex trafficking case. According to the US District Judge, Arun Subramanian, the court could not trust Mr Combs if released on bail. “The Court finds that the government has shown by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the safety of the community,” the judge wrote in Wednesday’s ruling. The rapper is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. Previously two judges also denied Mr Combs’s release from custody, primarily due to concerns about potential witness tampering, deeming it a significant risk if he was freed before trial, which is scheduled for May 2025. He has entered a plea of not guilty and has also denied more than two dozen sexual assault accusations lodged in a flurry of civil lawsuits. The judge cited evidence in the case showing  Combs’s alleged attempts at witness tampering, his violation of prison regulations while behind bars, and claims he ran a criminal enterprise which included forced labour and kidnapping. In a recent court filing, the prosecutors accused the rapper of misusing jail communications to influence witnesses in his case and coercing others in his orbit to post online in order to sway public opinion and benefit his defence. However, defence attorneys for Combs said he should be released so he has adequate time to prepare for his trial next year. Earlier this month, Judge Subramanian ordered prosecutors in the case to destroy all copies of nearly 20 pages seized during a recent search of the former hip-hop star’s jail cell. Some of the documents included handwritten notes to his attorneys and thoughts on his legal strategy, court filings show. Dozens of civil lawsuits have been filed against Diddy accusing him of coercing and abusing both men and women, blackmailing them with video recordings of sexual encounters, threatening witnesses, and in some cases, physically beating them. But Mr Combs has vehemently denied all the allegations.
