Mariah Carey Takes A Dip In Dead Sea On Business Trip To Israel
Jay-Z Apologises To Beyonce As He Appears To ‘Admit To Cheating' In New Song Titled 4:44.
Jay-Z's new record was released early morning today with fans immediately delving into the lyrics to search for possible responses to wife Beyonce— and they did not come up empty handed.
In at least three of the tracks, the 47-year-old appears to address infidelity, and not subtly, either.
In Kill Jay-Z, addressing himself, he raps 'You almost went Eric Benét / Let the baddest girl in the world get away.'
Eric Benét famously cheated on then wife Halle Berry.
'I don't even know what else to say / N***a, never go Eric Benét / I don't even know what you woulda done / In the future, other n***s playin' football with your son.'
Fans were quick to realize the last line referenced fellow rapper Future's attack on footballer Russell
Wilson for being a stepfather to his son, Future Jr.
In the same track, Jay-Z also appears to reference his infamous lift fight with his sister-in-law, admitting it was his fault.
'You egged Solange on knowin' all along / all you had to say you was wrong,' he raps.
In the track Family Feud - which bears the refrain 'Nobody wins when the family feuds' - even name-checks 'Becky' with the good hair, whom many believed was Jay-Z's mistress after Beyonce's Sorry.
'Yeah, I'll f*ck up a good thing if you let me / Let me alone, Becky / A man that don't take care his family can't be rich,' he raps.
Beyonce meanwhile provides backing vocals on the track.
His title song of 4:44 however appears to contain several lines of regret and apology for infidelity.
'Look, I apologize, often womanize / Took for my child to be born / See through a woman's eyes.
'Took for these natural twins to believe in miracles / Took me too long for this song,' he raps, claiming his children made him see the error of his ways.
'Like the men before me, I cut off my nose to spite my face / I never wanted another woman to know / Something about me that you didn't know.
He continues: 'And if my children knew, I don't even know what I would do / If they ain't look at me the same / I would prolly die with all the shame.
'"You did what with who?" / What good is a ménage à trois when you have a soulmate? / "You risked that for Blue?".
The chorus concedes: 'I'm never gonna treat you, never gonna treat you like I should.'
Breaking News: Fresh Boko Haram Attack Leaving Atleast 6 Dead
At least six civilians were killed and scores seriously injured when Islamist terrorist believed to be Boko Haram members attacked a community in the southern part of Borno State on Wednesday, sources from the besieged community have said.
The terrorists reportedly stormed the village of Boderi in Damboa local government area of Borno State Wednesday night, leaving six men and many others wounded. Boderi is located about 18 miles away from Damboa, a town in the southern part of Borno State.
An eyewitness, a local hunter who escaped the attack, told Saharareporters by phone from Chibok that the attackers arrived in the community on motorbikes and attacked helpless inhabitants.
“They [attackers] arrived on motorcycles, three armed men riding on each motorcycle. They opened fire at the same time on members of our community. We ran into bushes for safety, but when we returned to our village on Thursday I counted six dead bodies, all men,” said the hunter.
He added, “The wounded ones have been taken to Chibok General Hospital and currently receiving treatments.”
Another resident of Boderi confirmed the attack, stating that Wednesday’s attack was the second assault within a week. “We are helpless,” said the resident. “Just last week, two people went to their farms but did not return. When we searched for them we found their corpses. And then two days ago, they [Islamist terrorists] murdered our brothers again.
“Now, we are afraid to go back and continue farming because we are no longer safe. There are no soldiers to help our local hunters, who are the only security men we have.

Presidency Defends Retention Of Presidential Jet In London
The Presidency today defended the retention of the Presidential Aircraft, NAF 001, in London where President Muhammadu Buhari is currently receiving medical attention. Here's what they said in a statement released by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu. The statement read:
"The Presidency is constrained to decry criticisms, mostly on social media, on the retention in London of the Presidential Aircraft, NAF 001 as mostly informed by lack of understanding of protocol around foreign trips by Heads of State all over the world.
"It is important to state that for reasons of protocol, national security, diplomacy and prestige, there is no world leader who travels abroad and is left without plans for immediate return or possible evacuation.
"From operational point of view, this country's Armed Forces as represented by the Nigeria Air Force are not to abandon their Commander-In-Chief in whichever circumstance he is. This is a standard operating procedure."
"We have also read claims about outrageous fees allegedly paid by Nigeria. The published amounts are totally untrue. Aircraft conveying Heads of State all over the world usually enjoy waivers even where payments for parking are differentiated by aircraft categories.
"We have been assured that where the waiver is not granted, payment will not exceed £1,000, which is a quarter of the amount being peddled.
"For the avoidance of doubt, this President is not the first to have a presidential aircraft standing by for him, as he will certainly not be the last. All past Heads of this country have had this privilege, and the part that surprises the most is that leaders who in the past travelled with three Nigerian aircraft did not suffer this trenchant criticism.
"We appeal to Nigerians to ignore opposition campaign aimed at derailing this administration's big plans for the country.
"This is a government that is constructing the Second Niger Bridge, the Mambila Power Plant, the East-West and the North-South standard gauge railway lines.
"We are a government that has saved this country an annual loss of two trillion Naira from fraudulent petroleum subsidy schemes by influential citizens and their children and rid the public service of about 50,000 ghost workers.
"The Buhari administration certainly deserves a chance."
