Will Smith Says He & Jada Are “NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

There was a rumor going around that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith were going to announce their split at the end of the summer, but according to Will Smith, he and his wife of nearly 17 years are “NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Citing their (n)ever reliable “insiders,” Radar Online reported early Monday (Aug 3) that the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” alum and “Gotham” star’s marriage “has been on life support for a long time” and “they’re exhausted from trying to maintain the façade of a happy union.”

The insider continued, “They’ve decided to pull the plug in a carefully choreographed manner, [and] agree announcing their split at the end of the summer is the right move,” adding that the longtime couple had “worked out a confidential settlement to protect their $240 million fortune, and prepare their kids [son Jaden, 17, and daughter Willow, 14] for the fallout.”

Even though he usually doesn’t “respond to foolishness,” the actor took to Facebook Monday afternoon to shut down the divorce rumors himself.

“Under normal circumstances, I don’t usually respond to foolishness. (Because it’s contagious) But, so many people have extended me their ‘deepest condolences’ that I figured – ‘What the hell… I can be foolish, too!'” Smith wrote.

“So, in the interest of redundant, repetitious, over & over-again-ness… Jada and I are…NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!! : -) I promise you all – if I ever decide to divorce my Queen – I SWEAR I’ll tell you myself! #Dumb People Should Have to Wear Scarlet D’s”

Smith and Pinkett met in 1994 when Pinkett auditioned for the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” for the role of Smith’s girlfriend Lisa Wilkes, which ended up going to Nia Long.

Will and Jada became friends, dated and got married in December 1997. They have three children together, 17-year-old son Jaden, 14-year-old daughter Willow and 22-year-old son Trey from Will’s previous marriage to Sheree Zampino.

The Smiths have constantly dodged divorce rumors amid reports that they have an “open marriage.”

Back in June, Jada told Howard Stern in an interview that she is not her husband’s “watcher,” and as long as he can look at himself in the mirror and feel good about himself, he is free to do whatever as he wants.

“Here’s the deal with that, Howard, you’ve got to trust who you’re with. And at the end of the day, I’m not here to be anybody’s watcher,” she said.

“I’m not his watcher. He’s a grown man. Here’s what I trust — I trust that the man that Will is, is the man of integrity. So, he’s got all the freedom in the world. As long as Will can look himself in the mirror and be okay, I’m good.”

She further explained, “Here is what’s real — I’m not the kind of woman that believes a man is not going to be attracted to other women. I’m just not that girl. It’s just not realistic.

“And just because your man is attracted to another woman, does not mean he doesn’t love you. That’s not what it means. And it doesn’t mean he’s going to act on it. If your man can’t really see another woman’s beauty, how the hell is he going to see yours?”

5 Basic Husband Needs Every Wife Should Meet

The key to a successful marriage is unselfishness. If you can put your spouse’s needs above your own, you are on the right track. Having the desire to fulfill your husband’s needs is in no way submitting yourself to an inferior role as a wife. If you truly love your spouse, then you want to make him happy, and these five things generally make men happy — simple as that.

Every man’s needs are different; however, according to Willard F. Harley Jr., most men have the same basic needs. While each person is unique, these needs are what most men pick on average.

1. Recreational companionship

My husband and I are a classic example of a couple with hardly anything in common, especially when it comes to hobbies. We enjoy doing our own things — which can be good in a marriage. But when we spend time together doing what he likes, it’s often a win-win. Spending the evening golfing with my husband was never something I would have chosen, but I ended up having a great time. In fact, it was one of the best dates I have ever been on. Show your husband you care about him by showing some interest in his hobbies. He may even return the favor and spend the day doing what you want to do!

2. s*xual fulfillment

This can be a touchy subject, but it’s an important one. One thing my husband and I have learned is to never treat intimacy like a game — to never withhold it as punishment. Doing so only intensifies feelings of negativity and resentment. Intimacy brings couples together better than anything, and if it’s important to your husband, it needs to be important to you. Whether or not marital intimacy is special depends on the attitude and effort of those involved.

3. Admiration

In a healthy relationship, your husband is doing his part — whether that’s having a career, going to school, staying home with children, etc. Most of his actions may go unnoticed. For example, my husband works 8-10 hours a day, then spends his evenings going to school or doing homework. You may not physically see how much your husband does for your family every day, which can make his efforts easier to forget — out of sight, out of mind. Remember, as often as possible, show and tell your husband how much you love and appreciate all he does for you.

4. Domestic support

Domestic support involves the creation of a peaceful and well-managed home environment. You and your husband may share household chores and other home responsibilities equally, or your husband may need you to handle these responsibilities more often if he is busy handling others. Again, in a healthy relationship, your husband should be doing his part. If this is the case, fulfill hubby’s needs by cooking meals, washing dishes, keeping your home clean, etc.

5. An attractive spouse

As a wife of almost 12 years, I know how familiar and comfortable wives can get with their husbands — which is great. As a mother of four, I know how easy it is to stay in my pajamas all day, how luxurious it is to wait and shower when I actually have five minutes of privacy. Some days are like that, and that’s OK, but don’t let this type of thing become a habit. Put effort into making yourself attractive to your spouse. If you don’t see your husband until he walks in the door 30 seconds before dinnertime, schedule a few minutes beforehand to freshen yourself up. I started doing this a couple years ago and noticed a positive difference in my husband’s mood when he came home. Bonus: it makes me feel great, too.

Examining these five needs is a great way to look deeper into your marriage to determine your husband’s individual needs. Whether a marriage is in trouble or not, when spouses fulfill each other’s needs, the marriage becomes stronger.

Akpororo Goes On One Kneel, Proposes To Girlfriend During Church Service

Fast talking Nigerian comedian, Akpororo has proposed to his girlfriend during the first Sunday of the month service.

The comedian and his boo attend the same church; Ultimate Power Ministry.

A close source to the comedian shared the story.

Read below: –

“The life changing anointing service did not come to an end without entertainment infused in between as some of house of the finest comedians trilled the congregation with unending laffta! The comedians at the service include, Shortfamily, Laffdoctor, Wiseone and Ovie (The generous). Akpororo was not left out as he cracked jokes and also performed four of his songs from his album. His joy knew no bound as he sang and danced as never before, nobody knew what his plans was.

However, somewhere in the middle of the whole activities (choreography, choir rendition and sermon) the comedian was no where to be found. Just as the pastor was rounding off the closing prayer, four children walked up to the altar with each of them carrying a cardboard paper, and when they got to the middle, they all turned to face the congregation as they open the cardboard paper with “WILL YOU MARY ME” boldly written on it. The whole church thought it was a joke, still, Akpororo was no where around.At that point, the Bishop in-charge of Ultimate Power Ministry, Bishop Isreal Mathew, walked up and said, “one of my sons is asking someone here this question”.

Just then, AKPORORO walked up to the altar and knelt down in front of Jossy or Josephine (the only light skinned lady among the Explicit Dance Crew) and popped the one million dollar question, “Will you marry me”? with tears and smile of joy, Josephine said, “YES!”

Warri Billionaire Enrolls Majek Fashek Into Rehabilitation Home

Majekodunmi Fasheke, popularly known as Majek Fashek, was admitted because of his suspected case of drug abuse.

 I’M Scared Of Rehab Says Majek Fashek

Caregivers at the rehab centre, who preferred anonymity, said Majek was placed at the intensive care unit of the centre and he is responding to treatment.

Following the music legend’s sudden disappearance, a group of people had volunteered to form a search party to establish his whereabouts for proper medical attention.

Majek, who was previously seen roaming the streets of Lagos aimlessly, lived in the United States some years ago before being deported to Nigeria and his deportation from America worsened his condition as he allegedly separated with his wife and resorted to begging. Meanwhile a fundraising campaign to save the reggae icon’s life has been launched by a US-based musician and one-time Majek’s band-mate, Monica Omorodion Swaida, seeking fans around the world to donate to the cause. Ms Swaida, who coordinates the fundraiser through American crowd funding platform, GoFundMe, appealed to people to “come together and help him”.

Writing on the campaign website, Ms. Swaida said:

“I had the opportunity to go on tour with Majek Fashek in Africa and Abroad. I played on stage with Majek last in NYC. Majek was compared to the late icon Bob Marley. He was one of the greatest singer and guitarist in Nigeria. He came to America and even went as far as singing in David Letterman’s show. Majek put Nigeria on the map when it comes to music.

Today, Majek is seen in the streets of Lagos looking for petty change to buy food and drinks. Majek looks sickly and fray. He is looking haggard! How can a national hero be left on the street like that? We must do something to take care of this man. No matter the problems majek has, whether drug related, spiritual or mental related problems, it doesn’t matter. Everyone can be saved! Let’s come together and help him.

“The family of Majek just recently got their legal papers in America and can now travel. But they need your support. They can’t do this alone. They have not been in Nigeria for over 20 years. But they want to help their dad now.

“I will personally go with the wife, Rita Majek, and the first son, Randy Majek, to Nigeria to join others fighting for this cause to help Majek. Please fans all over the world, let us help save this legend while he is still alive. God bless those reading this. Amen!”

The fund raising campaign to save the life of the ailing reggae star has so far raised $2,793.
