    If everyone sued for a false story these tabloids would go out of circulation. They need to be careful. Fair play to Tuface.

    2 baba, Abeg this people need to pay you for their stupidity, next time them no go print wetin no be true. For all I know, there's no miss information from anybody anywhere, the editor and the entire team did it on purpose, reason " Want to Sell" so tarnishing or staining the image of a celeb is what can bring fast cash and big sales. Everybody want to read the flops of every celebs and to use it to judge them. So I say this Icon Mag, knows what they did, for this reason 2baba, sue them please.
