Jay-Z gives a hip-hop tribute to Beyoncé in new track with Kendrick Lamar



Jay-Z wants his fans to know the Carters are on top of the world.
Days after his wife Beyonce made mention of their marriage in her latest track, Bow Down, the rapper is rhyming about his wife of four years in a hip-hop tribute.  
'Up in the clouds, me and my spouse/Rumours on the ground gettin' too loud,' he spits in Kendrick Lamar's remixed hit B**** Don't Kill My Vibe. 

The title is hardly a romantic indication of the musician's love for his other half, but follows on the heels of Beyonce's own reference to her husband in her own offering released this week, entitled Bow Down/I Been On.
Her three minute, 34 second clip includes the lines: 'I took my time to live my life/But don’t think I’m just his little wife/Don’t get it twisted/This is my s***/Bow down b******'.

While the braggadocious new track addresses her absence from the music industry and asserts her authority as Queen Bee of the charts, following the birth last year of her now 14-month-old daugter, Blue Ivy.
Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, and Beyonce have slowly become more open about their relationship following their 2008 nuptials.
The singer last month premiered her HBO documentary Life is but a Dream, which featured behind-the-scenes footage from her performances and private video diaries including exerpts about her marriage and motherhood.
The star recently revealed she is 'surprised' by how much she has learnt from her daughter, and can't believe how much being a mother has changed her view of herself and given her a 'real purpose'.
The 31-year-old star told the April issue of Shape magazine: 'I just adore being a mother, hearing her say 'Mama' and call me when she needs something. It makes me feel like I have a real purpose here. I enjoy all the things people warned me would be tough to handle.
'I'm most surprised by how much she's taught me. She's only a year old and I've learned so much about myself from her. Giving birth was one of my biggest fears, and having Blue forced me to face it. And now I recognise the strength I have. She teaches me to focus on the things that truly matter, like family, and to pay attention to each moment, because they go by so quickly.'
Beyonce revealed she 'absolutely' hopes to have another child once she finishes her upcoming world tour The Mrs Carter Show, which kicks off Belgrade, Serbia on April 15 and is currently scheduled to wrap up in Brooklyn, New York on August 5, 2013.
She said: 'I'll probably start after this tour. We'll see if it happens.'

Kanye West wants to name his child North West?



Eccentric Kanye West wants to call his baby by Kim Kardashian, North. The rapper, 35, came up with a list of potential names for the baby due in July, but North is at the top because he thinks it sounds good with his surname.
He sounded out pals about the moniker last month while working in Paris during fashion week. But the title is unlikely to go down well with girlfriend Kim, 32, whose family have a tradition of starting their first names with a K.

Gunmen Invade Church In Delta



Gunmen have invaded a branch of one of the new generation churches in Boji-Boji Owa, Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State and whisked away a private security guard attached to the church.
The gunmen no fewer than four were said to have stormed the church after the day’s service with the intention to seize the offering of the day. Their efforts to get hold on the offering were futile as they were said to have ransacked every nook and cranny of the church.
Apparently infuriated by the futile search, the gunmen approached the security guard whom they had earlier bounded at the church’s gatehouse and hauled him into their vehicle before zooming off to unknown destination. The incident overwhelmed the congregation who were anxiously looking for clue as to the whereabouts of the abducted security man. Investigation revealed that the latest invasion was not the first in the same church, as it had earlier been attacked three years ago.
In the previous attack, Daily Sun learnt, the gun wielding men succeeded in seizing the offering and made away it unchallenged. Drawing experience from that attack, leaders of the church were said to have devised other measures of safeguarding the church’s offering to put paid to the evil machinations of the men of the underworld.
A source in the church decried the constant invasion of ‘God’s temple’ by hoodlums, describing it as ‘an abominable act’, which would attract severe wrath from the God. “What are they looking for in a church, we don’t have money. People are so daring these days to the extent of desecrating the house of God.”
The source appealed to the gunmen to “please, for the sake of God, free the security man,” and called on the suspects to repent, saying there was “no gain in crime. They should embrace God to have peace.” Public Relations Officer of the Delta State Police Command, ASP Famous Ajieh confirmed the invasion by gunmen and added that efforts were in top gear to arrest the fleeing bandits and free the security guard.
In May last year, yet-to-be identified gunmen also invaded a Catholic Church in Ilah, Oshimili North Local Government Area of the state where they reportedly removed sacred items including monstrance, missal and chasuble, among others. The affected church was locked up for several weeks following the desecration and was re-opened for spiritual activities after it was re-dedicated by the bishop in the area.

Married Female Teacher Caught Having Sex With Teenage Student



A shamed teacher who was caught in a car with a 17-year-old pupil yesterday admitted that she had sex with the youth.
A court heard how Eppie Sprung Dawson, 26, had agreed to give the dyslexic teenager extra help with his lessons at the Catholic secondary where she worked.
But the married English teacher, who was only four years into her career, drove him to the countryside, stopped in a lay-by and had sex with him.
They were spotted together by police officers on a routine patrol.
At Dumfries Sheriff Court yesterday, Dawson admitted that on December 21, while she was in a position of trust, she engaged in sexual activities with, or directed towards, a person under the age of 18, and that she had sexual intercourse with him.
Procurator fiscal depute Lyndsay Hunter said that Dawson had met the youth in Dumfries and then drove him to a lay-by on the Cummertrees to Hoddam Road.
She said that at around 5.20pm, police noticed the car, which had condensation on its windows.
The fiscal added: ‘The officers remained in their vehicle and spotted the couple in the passenger seat of the car. 
‘They left their vehicle and approached the parked car where they saw the couple having sexual intercourse.
'The police officers knocked on the car door and then saw the accused and a male, both naked from the waist down.’ 
Mrs Hunter said that Dawson was spoken to and it became clear that she was a teacher.
The fiscal added that she made no reply when  cautioned and charged.
Sheriff George Jamieson deferred sentence until May 1 and called for reports, including a psychiatric assessment. 
Dawson, of Dumfries, who taught at the town’s St Joseph’s College, was placed on the sex offenders’ register. 
Sheriff Jamieson said the length of time she would remain on the register would be decided when she was sentenced. Bail was continued.
Solicitor David Finnie, defending, told the court that he would reserve his plea in mitigation until reports were prepared.
When Dawson was originally charged in January, one former pupil said that she often sent text messages signed off with kisses and claimed that she was known for being ‘touchy-feely’.
Yesterday, a spokesman for  Dumfries and Galloway Council said Dawson was no longer employed by the authority and it would therefore not be appropriate to comment on the case.
Last night, there was no answer at the house that Dawson had shared with her husband Ranald, 32 – the son of the former Solicitor General for Scotland, Lord Dawson.
The teenager’s family could not be contacted for comment last night but when details of the case originally emerged, a woman at the family home said: ‘He is the victim in this but I don’t want to talk about it.’ 
A spokesman for the General Teaching Council for Scotland  said: ‘We are aware of this case and conducting our own investigations into this matter.’
