Posted on Friday, June 29th, 2012 at 10:58 AM By Damilare Aiki

After being declared c0-winner of the hit reality show Big Brother Africa Amplified in 2011 and taking home a whooping sum of $ 200,000, the ever outspoken Miss Karen Igho has successfully managed to stay in the public eye by hosting events and gracing numerous red carpet events most recently the Complete Fashion Style Night.
Proving that she doesn’t want to be known only for her Big Brother fame, Karen who clocked a year older in April,  has officially been announced as the newest addition to the indigenous Lagos radio station Naija FM 102.7.
Speaking on her new career venture, the elated star who will be joining a host of other talented on-air personalities at the 24 hour radio station including Lady J, Ushbebe, Sam, Naija Babe and Ifektive, graciously expressed joy and gratitude for the opportunity, saying “You know I’m not a presenter but I’m going to do my best. I’m also going to put in my 100% for people to enjoy and l hope listeners would enjoy the show!’’.
Karen who is fluent in Hausa, Urhobo and English also added that she trusts the job would be easy, as speaking “Pidgin English” is fun for her.
She will join Lagos State University Theatre Arts Graduate/Naija FM on-air-personality Ifektive to host Wetin Dey every day of the week from 10 PM – 1 AM.

A big congrats to Karen. I will be listening, hope you will too. From reality star to presenter/host to an on-air-personality, hmm, what’s next? An album! We can’t wait to see what more Karen has in store for all us in 2012.

   Thursday, June 28, 2012 will forever remain a memorable day for the Osungade family as they almost lost three of their siblings in the hands of popular Director and Cinematographer Adetokunbo Odubawo better known as DJ Tee.
   The video director has been accused of stabbing a 19-year-old upcoming artiste Osungade Tolani Alvin in the face and assaulting his two siblings.
   Gidi Leakers sources say Tolani who is better known by his stage name TLI Soji Boi had gone along with his siblings – 22-year-old Dolapo aka Deeking and younger sister, 17 year-old Mobolaji to support a fellow upcoming artiste Malcolm who was shooting his video at the Daily Times factory in Ikeja. We’re told DJ Tee was the D.O.P (Director of Photography) on set.
   Eye witnesses say all was going well until DJ Tee asked for those who were to appear in the video shoot (including Tolani and Dolapo) to move on set while the others should move out of shooting range. Dolapo’s girlfriend who wasn’t supposed to appear in the shoot stayed back on set.
   Apparently this angered the director as DJ Tee was said to have ‘rudely told her to get out’. ‘He started screaming for her to get out, calling her bitch and stuff’, O’tuga Suzzie, a witness and family friend to the Osungade’s tweeted late last night.
   Dolapo, obviously upset, talked back at the director, trying to caution him but DJ Tee allegedly slapped him and asked his boys who were also at the shoot to beat him up.
   ‘DJ Tee’s boys (about 10 of them) immediately pounced on Dolapo and started beating him up’ one eye witness who asked not to be named, told us.
   ‘As Mobo screamed and watched helplessly as her elder brother was being beaten up, DJ Tee asked his boys to beat her up too. As Tolani tried to intervene in the whole matter, DJ Tee approached Dolapo to stab him with a bottle he just broke.  Tolani intervened and DJ Tee stabbed him in the face. He then had them all thrown out of the factory and continued with the shoot.’
   Gidi Leakers gathered Tolani is now receiving treatment at the Ikeja Medical Centre.
   Even though different eye witnesses claim he did, the director has come out to say nothing of the sort happened.
   Gidi Leakers could not establish contact with DJ Tee for comments as at the time of this report as his phone was switched off but hours after the incident, he took to Twitter to deny the whole news, and explain what happened.
   DJ Tee says he didn’t stab anybody;
   ‘@SOJIBOI_WE bro, I did not stab you…….why are people saying I picked up a bottle & stabbed you with it on your face’, DJ Tee tweeted at Tolani.
   And as for the stab in Tolani’s face, he carefully explained;
   ‘He [Tolani] was an extra on shoot I did today, its long story anyway he smashed a bottle against hard metal above our head. The bottle shattered and cut me and him….broken pieces that was shattered around us. The stabbing thingy was not true…..it was shattered broken pieces anyway. It’s all good’, @DJTee explains as he tweeted at bloggers Twitter handles.
