messing up with Islam, it’s wrong man. Not funny though,” one of his followers advised. “But why people be like this sha, do you know the meaning of what he said even though it’s funny and I doubt if any of you even say SAW when He call the Prophet’s name. Terry G, You might delete this though because some fans might take it wrongly just as you have been reading it. Bless up man!” “Imagine what’s gonna happen if you lose your pure water company and technically
never get to perform on a show or sign a contract for 2 years. “You will start blaming it on your enemies forgetting that u ever did something this uncool that pissed Allah off. Delete this man (show some love to your Muslim fans and do it) Terry G, love your flows till I go 6feet below.” “Bro I love your flows but what you did is wrong, it’s not proper man, try to amend this by deleting the post.

ears were sparked for Bobbi Kristina Brown when a white tent was erected outside her hospice. The 22-year-old aspiring actress - who was found face down and unresponsive in a bath tub on January 31 - is being cared for at Peachtree Christian Hospice, Georgia and the new addition of the tent sparked fear amongst fans that Bobbi Kristina had passed away. However, a receptionist confirmed to RadarOnline.com yesterday (15.07.15) that “there’s been no” deaths at the facility. And security continues to be high at the hospice after a photograph allegedly taken of Bobbi Kristina by an “extended family member” was leaked to the media. A source said at the time: “Everyone has to check their purses or bags at the nurse’s station. “They are making sure that each person that comes to see Krissy is fully checked and that they aren’t sneaking anything into the room.” The star’s aunt Leolah Brown hit back at the “evil” person who took the photograph. Writing on Facebook, she
Bobbi Kristina Brown said: “I’ll tell you what! You took that picture thinking you gon get some money for it...and thats gon be it! ...guess what!????!!!! I will myself if no one else does-see to it that -YOU be revealed!!!! Trust me! I will put the fire so far up the medias a** to reveal who they PAID for that!
Sinitta hits out at Simon Cowell’s decision to hire Nick Grimshaw: ‘He can’t sing’
S
inger Sinitta has hit out at Simon Cowell’s decision to recruit Nick Grimshaw for The X Factor judging panel. The 51-year-old - who regularly features alongside Cowell during the Judge’s Houses stage of the competition - revealed she does not understand why the music mogul failed to hire her as a judge. Speaking to Closer she said: “I beg Simon for a spot on the panel, I don’t get his decision to choose Nick Grimshaw - he can’t sing! “How can he judge other singers? I think Simon and Nick are good mates though, so he chose to have a pal on the panel.” The So Macho singer insisted that despite an unsuccessful attempt this year she is not giving u on begging for a spot on the panel. “I won’t stop begging. My kids often bug me for things and won’t stop until I give in, so that’s the tactic I’m using.” Sinitta may not be keen on Grimshaw but the BBC Radio One Breakfast DJ appears to be a hit on the panel according to an insider. “He’s good in that he’ll make jokes like Walliams does – sending up Simon but in a comical way,”
Simon Cowell the source told Radio Times. “It felt like part of the reason he’s got him. Obviously the David and Simon dynamic does work quite well on BGT – maybe Simon’s looking for something similar.” Grimshaw made his debut alongside fellow newcomer Rita Ora as the auditions for this year’s series kicked off in Manchester last week. London auditions are expected to begin today after cancellation yesterday in the wake of the death of Cowell’s mother.
