Shakira recently admitted that motherhood is one of the most difficult things she’s done in her life.

She told PEOPLE: ‘I’m one of those tiger moms, who is all the time looking for help and information online and researching and reading. It’s not easy to be a mother.

‘It’s one of the most difficult things I’ve done in my life. I’ve been on the most challenging stages performing in front of really demanding audiences and I’ve been meeting with world leaders who sometimes make you a little bit apprehensive, but nothing has made me so self-conscious as being a mom. Every day I wonder if I’m doing the right thing. I just want to improve in the job, the hardest job on earth.’

The Game, who is known for his often interaction between himself and fans via Twitter and Instagram, recently spoke about not letting fans get to him or make him feel sad.

The Game who recently had a fall out with Young Thug on social media told AllHipHop: ‘I don’t let social media overpower me. I use it to my advantage’.

‘I fuck with my people, they fuck with me, but we have a fan-artist relationship.’ The Compton native also explained why fans have a bigger ego now and have less of a worship of musicians and athletes.

he said: ‘Social media over the last 10 years has put the fan and the artist sort of on the same level ’cause now, if you have 100 followers, to those 100 followers you feel like you’re the celebrity.

‘If you have a thousand followers you have a thousand people so you can sort of stunt and then when you see a celebrity, you like, Ah, you know, fuck him, I’m the shit.

‘I don’t allow that to happen. On my page, a fan stay a fan and I’m going to stay The Game so you not going to trump me on my shit, you not going to make me feel bad.’

Don jazzy ignores D'banj on Stages.

D’banj as a singer and Don Jazzy the producer used to be the perfect team as the honchos of Mo’hits Records. But like a bolt from the blue, their hitherto smooth relationship collapsed in 2012 like a pack of badly arranged cards.

Ever since, fans and colleagues in the music industry have been begging the duo to come back together and rework their magic.

However, what could have been the perfect opportunity for the two heavyweights to address the issue came to pass on Sunday, September 20,at the Eko Hotel-venue of 2face Idibia’s Fortyfied Concert.

D’banj mounted the stage to perform some of his hit songs to the delight of the audience, and halfway through, he said he was going to perform a song, ‘Feeling Good’ produced by Don Jazzy and featuring 2face that was leaked online before it could be properly released.

He beckoned on Don Jazzy to join him on stage to perform the song, but Jazzy remained glued to his seat with new Mavin signees, Reekado Banks, Korede Bello, and Dija.

Even when 2face begged the duo to produce one more hit together, Don Jazzy remained resolute. In 2face’s words, ‘Don Jazzy and D’banj, abeg make una do one more song, just one…. I take God beg una.’
D’banj instantly responded with the words, “Sure! It’s going to happen,” while Don Jazzy still remained on his seat without even a smile.

This led many of the guests in attendance to insinuate that D’banj was more eager for a come-back than Don Jazzy is.
