Jada Pinkett explains why she encourages her children's showbiz aspirations...

From The Daily Mail

Now it isn’t as if the Smiths — who earned £20 million between them last year alone —are short of a bob or two. So why put their children in the spotlight? 
‘That’s the thing that’s difficult for people to understand,’ Jada says. ‘This isn’t about fame or money. They were still going to have their trials because of who their parents are. As much as I wish I could figure out a way I could protect my children, they have their destiny. I’m not going to put brakes on that out of fear.’

"My recent arrest in Abuja was a set up" - Jim Iyke

"I was driving one of my posh rides in Abuja when all of a sudden these men dressed in different uniforms, army, police and even a colour that I don't even recognize just swooped on me and asked me to get down from my car. I did that and then I was told I am not authorized to have tinted glass, that it's against the law, so they proceeded to remove the tint. But all of a sudden this set of people arrived with some huge cameras I have never seen before and started recording the scene. That was when I got upset and drove away. In fact I think it was just a set up because I don't know how those people got to know what was happening at the time and they came with their cameras like it was a movie scene." Jim Iyke to Vivian Onuorah of City People Magazine.
