Sam Sarpong (Left) and Ice Prince at the BET Awards in 2014
British-Ghanian Television Personality, Rapper, Model and Actor, Sam Sarpong has died after falling from a bridge in southern California.

According to reports, Police in Pasadena spent seven (7) hours attempting to talk the 40-year-old star down from the ledge on Monday October 26th, 2015, but he eventually jumped to his demise.

The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office has said that the case is being investigated as a possible suicide but the cause of death would not be determined until the results of a toxicology test are released.

The British born actor and television personality moved to the US and forged a succesful career as catwalk model, working for Tommy Hilfiger, Gucci and Versace and became Louis Vuitton’s first black male model.

He is most famous for his work hosting Yo Mamma, a youth comedy show which aired on MTV between 2006 and 2007, as well as for working with BET and presenting the Best 
African Act at the BET Awards.

The older brother of Loose Women star June Sarpong later moved into acting and appeared in over 75 films and TV shows according to his IMDb page. 

In response to his death, his sister released this statement:
 “I love my brother very much. Sam was an amazing human being. His passing is a loss for the world. 
“I’d ask anyone who is going through tough times to seek help. Please talk to someone.”
She went on to say: “My family and I are in a state of shock, please allow us to grieve in private. Thank you for all your messages of condolence.”

In another statement, his family said: 

"It is with great sadness that the family of Samuel Sarpong Jr. must share the news that Sam has passed away.

"The circumstances surrounding his death are currently under investigation and no additional details are known at this time.

"The family appreciates the thoughts prayers and other expressions of sympathy, and request their privacy be respected at this extremely difficult time."

It is indeed a terrible loss, we pray for his friends and family at this time, that they have the fortitude to deal with his loss.




From Waholaaa: 
If you are going through deep bouts of depression, do not hesitate to find someone to talk to, either a counselor, your religious leader, or a psychologist. Do not suffer in silence...you are not alone.

US BASED PROJECT FAME FINALIST, OCHUKO RELEASES NEW SINGLE - "FOREVER"



US Based Nigerian Recording Artist/Project Fame Alumni, Ochuko has just released a new single, "Forever", produced by BeatbyRowllins

Speaking about the new single, Ochuko shares that the song was inspired by his wife (Nwamaka Sifo), "She gives me strength and reminds me every day how good God has been to me to this very day. Most of all she reminds me to always believe that anything is possible through Christ Jesus. (In her words, “When you put in the work you will definitely see the results)"

Ochuko further speaks about the new single - "The Song was inspired by all the blessings I unconsciously failed to acknowledge in my life. As a token and reminder of my appreciation of God's goodness, I am re-dedicating my gift to God and reaching out to all those out there in need of a word of reassurance that God alone deserves the praise. 
The song basically gives praise to the King of Kings and expresses how we as human beings should not hold back when giving God praise. Words are not enough to shame the devil so do it with all that is within you with your hands, your feet and most importantly ……your voice. 
I'm dedicating this song to all believers and those in doubt, seasons may come and seasons may go, but God remains the same yesterday, today and forevermore.... That is why the song is titled, "FOREVER"

Garbed with a powerful vocal chord, Michael evokes deep emotional and spiritual bonding with divinity through his songs. A part of Michael's humanity is also reflected in his music. The lyrics are embedded with Michael’s humble beginning and his endearing personality. Although, an orphan, Michael is determined to excel in his passion and spread the message of love around the universe.

He is signed under Rona "The Entertainment Group"

SINGER/HUMANITARIAN, NIKKI LAOYE ANNOUNCES THE 2015 #BuyACane PROJECT FOR THE BLIND & VISUALLY IMPAIRED COMMUNITY (INTERNATIONAL WHITE CANE DAY - OCTOBER 15)






Once again, Nikki Laoye and her Angel 4 Life Foundation are geared up to support the visually impaired community via their project initiative, The #BuyACane Project, a fundraising campaign to help purchase white guide canes, which are mobility aids for blind and visually impaired persons. 


The project is an ongoing initiative by the Foundation since 2012 in support of the International White Cane Day which holds on the 15th Of October, every year. This is a special day celebrated across the globe to support and encourage the independence & achievements of visually impaired persons.


The #BuyACane Project is a special campaign undertaken by Nikki Laoye who has an adopted blind brother,Adeola who is an executive official of the Nigeria Association of the Blind (Lagos Chapter).
Every year, Nikki Laoye and her team help to support the Lagos celebrations of the International White Cane Day and this year, the Association will be having a white cane walk on the 15th of October in Ikoyi with the theme "KEEPING THE BLIND MOVING" to create further awareness on the plight and facilities required for visually impaired students and individuals in Nigeria with emphasis on Lagos State.


Since 2012, Nikki Laoye has solicited the participation of kind hearted Nigerians and major celebrities such as Sammie Okposo, Funke Kuti, Yaw and Nedu of Wazobia FM, Kiki Omeili, Mc Abbey and more in the #BuyACane Project and the White Cane Walk as they supported the mobility needs of their visually impaired brothers and sisters.

White canes are purchased every year by Nikki Laoye's Angel 4 Life Foundation from outside the country and they are distributed freely to the hundreds of visually impaired youths that require them for their mobility and easy identification on the streets as they move around independently.

These canes are not readily available in Nigeria and most impaired persons can't afford them therefore your donation will help to purchase these canes and further support their independence.

Each Cane is sold at 3,500 naira and you can be a part of this great initiative by buying one or more canes today.

Kindly make your donations payable with the remark "Buy A Cane" to:
