Karrueche Tran has finally had enough of Chris Brown and his antics.
After last night’s breaking news announcement that Chris Brown is the father of a 9-month-old baby girl, Karrueche took to Twitter to tell the world she’s done.
“Listen. One can only take so much. The best of luck to Chris and his family. No baby drama for me,” she tweeted, following-up with a baby emoji.?
Judging by Chris & Karrueche’s past, we’re looking at Kae with a side-eye…but this baby certainly changes the dynamic of a relationship.
She really could be over and done with it.
Between this announcement and the fact that Chris hasn’t denied the claim — that’s all we need to know that the story is true.

Pastor arrested for impregnating 20 women in his church claims God commanded him to have s*x with them – and their daughters
Timothy Ngwu says he has 13 children with five wives and his mistresses
Police arrested him for abusing members of congregation ‘on will of God’
He was reported to authorities by his wife who grew sick of his adultery.
Arrested pastor claims the married women’s husbands agreed to affairs
A mother-of-eight claims Ngwu impregnated her – and then her daughter
A 53-year-old pastor who reportedly impregnated 20 members of congregation claims the Holy Spirit ordered him to have s*x with them.
Nigerian police have now arrested Timothy Ngwu for abusing the young girls and women at Vineyard Ministry of the Holy Trinity.
Ngwu’s abusive behaviour was finally reported to the police by his estranged wife Veronica who grew tired of his adulterous behaviour – and reportedly impregnated her young neice.
A spokesperson for the Enugu State Police command told Naij.com he claims to be obeying the ‘spiritual’ urge to carry out the will of God, ‘irrespective of whether the woman is married or not.’
Ebere Amaraizu added: ‘When the woman is delivered of the baby, the child remains in the ministry with the mother for life.’
Ngwu told the same website he has 13 children with five different wives and the mistresses God’s ‘prophetic’ will told him to acquire.
He also claims he never had s*x with any married woman unless their husbands consented to the Holy Spirit’s request.
Calista Omeje and Assumpta Odo both left their husbands to live with the pastor based on these holy commands.
Mother-of-eight Odo said Ngwu impregnated both her and her daughter, whose age is not known.
And Calista – who has 10 children with her husband – said the pastor impregnated her but the baby died. She also revealed that she ‘gave’ her daughter to him.
The pastor’s brother – who did not want to be identified – said he had warned both Ngwu and his family about the self-proclaimed clergyman’s behaviour for a long time but they refused to listen.
He claims the arrest is ‘God’s wrath falling on his brother’, adding: ‘God’s anger has befallen my brother, we have severally appealed to him to stop what he was doing but he refused.
‘He has colonised our compound, bearing children with recklessness. He accused us of being jealous of him because he is doing the will of God.’
Pointing at the church’s compound, he continued: ‘Look at these buildings here… He has converted all of them to himself in the name of vineyard.
‘He sacked his betrothed wife who has three children for him and embarked on impregnating married women and young girls. Look at the whole compound littered with children of different s*x and age.’
‘All members of the vineyard are fools, how can a woman abandon her husband for another man in the name of worshiping God and practice adultery? I cannot get myself involved in this matter.
‘Let them sort themselves out with the police but I want the ministry to be shut down completely,’ he added.’

According to Ghana Celebrities website, Nadia had a fiance who is currently with her in Atlanta and he is the father of the twins.
The beautiful Actress after breaking up with Jim Iyke posted a photo of herself with a new guy who was believed to be her new boyfriend on Instagram and Nadia never denied rumors of her dating the guy who stays in America.
MONROVIA,
Liberia — A couple of dozen students sat quietly inside the C.D.B.
King Elementary School’s dim and dusty auditorium on their first morning
back. Despite the stuffy heat, many of the children wore long sleeves
and trousers that covered as much skin as possible.
A
second grader wore pink knit mittens that muffled the sound of his
clapping when the teachers introduced themselves. As everyone rose to
sing Liberia’s national anthem, he saluted with his left hand, still
sheathed in the mitten.
“Ebola
destroyed and devastated our land,” Venoria Crayton, the vice
principal, told her pupils. “It brought us sadness, it brought us pain.
Some of your neighbors died, right? Some of your neighbors’ children
died, right? But you are here.”
About eight months after governments in the region closed schools to stop the spread of Ebola, uniformed and backpack-carrying schoolchildren have returned to the streets of Monrovia, the capital, perhaps the most visible sign of the epidemic’s ebb.

But
Liberia’s on-again, off-again back-to-school campaign is also a measure
of the long shadow cast by Ebola, a disease that affected almost every
facet of society in the hardest-hit countries, Liberia, Sierra Leone and
Guinea.
Though
Ebola cases have all but disappeared in Liberia, with the Health
Ministry saying Wednesday that the last patient in treatment had tested
negative for the virus, lingering fear and a depressed economy have
dampened the turnout at schools. Many have yet to reopen, having failed
to meet the minimum requirements put in place to prevent transmission of
the virus.
Many
of those that have reopened are struggling. Just as Liberia’s weak
health care system collapsed as Ebola began raging across the country,
many people here worry that the nation’s schools may be ill equipped to
handle even the tail end of the epidemic.
C.D.B.
King, despite being in the center of the capital, lacks electricity and
running water, and has only a few toilet stalls for a student
population that numbered 1,000 before the outbreak.
Now,
the school is trying to overcome those longstanding problems — and the
ravages of a disease that has killed more than 9,600 people in the
region.
Fanning
herself with a sheet of paper, Ms. Crayton, the vice principal, rattled
off a list of don’ts: Don’t play rough. Don’t exchange pencils. Don’t
share food. Don’t spit. Don’t urinate in the courtyard. Don’t hide
illness in the family.
“If you want to live,” she told the students, “don’t lie about Ebola.”
By the end of the first day of class, only about 30 students had showed up.
“People
are still afraid, so they are careful with their kids,” said Augustus
Seongbae, the principal. “Many of them are watching what happens to the
kids who come first.”

Fierce
disagreement over whether to resume classes forced the government to
change the original start date of Feb. 2 several times before finally
deciding to reopen schools on a rolling basis starting on Feb. 16. The
government said that with Ebola waning, many children were already
playing in their communities, and that potential teaching time in the
classroom was being frittered away.
But
some lawmakers, education officials and parents argued that children
should not go back to school until Liberia is declared free of Ebola, or
42 days after the last case of the disease — which experts say could be months away.
Tolbert
Nyenswah, the Liberian deputy health minister in charge of the Ebola
response, said Wednesday that there had been no new confirmed cases of
the disease in the country for 12 days, but that officials were still
tracking 102 people for possible exposure to the virus.
“We are not out of the woods yet,” he said.
Even
as Ebola wanes, the country and its schools are facing countless other
challenges. Maryland County, in eastern Liberia, is suffering from an
outbreak of whooping cough,
affecting about 200 children, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, just as schools are set to reopen there.
Many
parents have complained that because of Ebola’s chilling effect on the
economy, they needed more time to gather the resources to send their
children to school.
Miatta
Fahnbulleh, the mother of the boy with the pink mittens, James Nyema,
9, used to send him to a private school. But because she had been
unemployed for months from her job as a kindergarten teacher, she had
chosen to send him to C.D.B. King, a public school. Public schools are
free, though parents must pay for uniforms and other supplies.
She
walked her son, known as J.C. because his middle name is Christian, to
school in the morning with a blue plastic bag containing his lunch and a
water bottle.
“I
told him when he was going, ‘Don’t deal with anybody, don’t drink
anybody’s water, don’t touch anybody,’ ” she said, laughing, as she came
to pick up her son after lunch.
She
had dressed him in trousers and long sleeves, which he usually wore
only during the rainy season — not now, the driest and hottest time of
the year. She had bought the mittens at a nearby market, where they had
become available during the height of the epidemic last year.
“What can I do?” she said, laughing again.
Liberia’s 14-year civil war, which ended in 2003, destroyed schools and left a generation that is less educated than older ones.
“Prominent
people came from our school, ministers and government officials,” said
Thomas Deshield, a teacher at C.D.B. King, which is named after a former
president and is one of the oldest public schools in the capital.
Since
the end of the war, Liberia has focused on expanding access to
education; 1.2 million Liberians were in school before Ebola, out of a
population of 4.3 million. But C.D.B. King and many other public schools
suffer from a scarcity of resources and crumbling infrastructure.
Public schoolteachers are often poorly trained and unmotivated.
“We
realize that it’s been good to get a lot of people in,” said Albert
Coleman, the Ministry of Education official overseeing the reopening of
schools. “But if we must develop and move forward as a country, our
emphasis should be more on quality and a little bit less on access.”
Most
Liberians prefer enrolling their children in private schools, which
account for more than a third of the nation’s 4,460 educational
facilities. But with many private schools now reporting a drop in
enrollment because parents are unable to afford them, many parents are
expected to register their children at already strained public schools
in the weeks and months ahead.
At
C.D.B. King, Ms. Crayton arrived at 6:30 a.m. on the second day of
class to try to make the school safe against Ebola. No one at the school
had received any direct training, so she consulted an instruction
pamphlet she had received along with materials from international donors
— infrared thermometers, buckets, chlorine, rubber boots and gloves,
brushes and soap.
She
chased away local petty traders who had stored their goods overnight in
the schoolyard. “This is a government school,” she told one woman, who
scampered away with her wares on her head.
What's life like when you get drunk on rice and potato? (Getty Images)
A few people become inebriated simply by eating carbohydrates – what’s going on in the body? Helen Thomson reports.
At first, Nick Hess didn’t really know what was happening. “It was
weird, I’d eat some carbs and all of a sudden I was goofy, vulgar.”
It was the highest amount of yeast I’ve ever seen in one person — Anup Kanodia, researcher
He
would get inexplicably sick, with stomach pains and headaches. “Every
day for a year I would wake up and vomit,” he says. “Sometimes it would
come on over the course of a few days, sometimes it was just like ‘bam!
I’m drunk’.”
No alcohol had passed his lips, but not everyone
believed him. At one point, his wife searched the house from top to
bottom for hidden bottles of booze. “I thought everyone was just giving
me a rough time, until my wife filmed me and then I saw it – I looked
drunk.”
Hess would come to realise that he suffers from
“auto-brewery syndrome”, a very rare and somewhat controversial medical
condition in which an overgrowth of yeast in the gut turns carbohydrates
from food into excess alcohol in the blood. What’s it like to live with
this odd condition? And if it turns out that many people are being
mistaken for alcohol-abusers by everyone from their friends to the
courts, what should we do about it?
Auto-brewery syndrome was first noticed in Japan in the 1970s (Thinkstock)
Evidence of experiences like Hess’s can be traced
back to the 1970s, when researchers in Japan described a mysterious
condition in patients with chronic yeast infections. In papers published
at the time, the researchers described
how all of these patients had an abnormal liver enzyme, which meant
that they weren’t great at getting rid of alcohol from the body.
Everyone
has a little bit of yeast in their guts, and when it interacts with
carbohydrates and sugar from our food, it produces tiny amounts of
alcohol. In the case of the Japanese patients, the extra yeast from the
infection and the fact they ate lots of carbohydrate-rich rice, combined
with the abnormal liver enzyme, meant they couldn’t process the alcohol
quick enough.
Nowadays, it’s Barbara Cordell,
head of nursing and health sciences at Panola College in Texas, who is
investigating the condition. She and her colleague Justin McCarthy, were
the first to identify the disorder in an otherwise healthy individual
in the US, and verify it in a controlled environment. Her interest began
in 2005 after a friend of hers – let’s call him Joe – began
experiencing symptoms of drunkenness. He was dizzy, nauseous and moaned
of exhaustion – just like you feel after a night on the tiles – despite
claiming that he hadn’t touched a drop of the hard stuff.
Bauchi has been on alert because of the threat from Boko Haram militants
A
woman who was beaten to death in northern Nigeria on suspicion of being
a suicide bomber was in fact mentally ill and not involved in
terrorism, according to police and her family.
Thabita Haruna, 33, was attacked by a mob on Sunday after she refused to be screened at a marketplace in Bauchi.
Police are investigating the attack and have yet to make any arrests.
Boko Haram militants based in northern Nigeria have been using women to carry out suicide bombings.
The militants want to impose a strict version of Islam and have declared a caliphate in the territory under their control.
Ms Haruna was set upon by a mob last Sunday after she refused to be searched by vigilantes at the entrance to a marketplace.
Nigerian soldiers have failed to end Boko Haram's six-year insurgency
A witness told the AFP news agency that the woman came under suspicion when two bottles were found strapped to her waist.
The mob placed a tyre sprinkled with petrol over the woman's
head and set it alight after she was beaten, according to witnesses.
Police say that she was dead by the time they arrived at the
scene. Earlier reports had indicated that the woman was a teenager.
The woman's family says she had worked as a market trader until 2007, when she became mentally ill.
"I feel very very sad because she is my blood," Ms Haruna's
sister told the BBC this week. "We sleep in the same bed, we eat at the
same plate…. That really pains me."
Bauchi was hit by a market explosion that caused much damage in December 2014
According to the BBC Hausa service's Ishaq Khalid in Bauchi, the people in the town have condemned the attack.
Boko Haram has taken to sending women on suicide missions,
fuelling concern that its insurgency has entered a more ruthless phase.
Teenagers have been used to carry explosives into busy
markets and bus stations, raising additional fears that some of Boko
Haram's hundreds of kidnap victims may have been forced into carrying
out bomb attacks.
February's presidential election has been postponed because of the unrest. The vote is now due to take place on 28 March.
Mark Lippert was filmed moments after the attack asking to be taken to hospital
A
militant Korean nationalist has slashed the face of the US ambassador to
South Korea at a breakfast meeting in Seoul, but the envoy was not
seriously hurt.
Mark Lippert, 42, was also cut on his left hand, with blood spattered over the breakfast table.
Security officers subdued the attacker, one pinning him down with a shoe on his neck, until he was arrested.
North Korea has described the attack as "just punishment for US warmongers".
The North's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said he had delivered a "knife shower of justice".
The attacker, named as Kim Ki-jong, 55, appears to have
broken his ankle during the attack and was taken away on an ambulance
trolley after questioning.
South Korean police, who are in the process of obtaining
warrants to search his home, are seeking to establish whether he has
close ties with the North, the BBC's Stephen Evans reports from Seoul.
Mr Lippert had hospital treatment but later wrote in a tweet: "Doing well and in great spirits... Will be back ASAP to advance US-ROK [Republic of Korea] alliance!"
US President Barack Obama called his ambassador to wish him "the very best for a speedy recovery", a US official said.
Analysis: Stephen Evans, BBC News, Seoul
Nobody believes that pro-North Korean groups represent a
majority of South Koreans but they are still a significant minority and
part of the political landscape.
In November, South Korea's constitutional court ordered that
the Unified Progressive Party be dissolved even though it had five
members elected to parliament. The authorities said the UPP posed a
threat to South Korean democracy. One of its leaders was jailed.
The counter-argument of the leftist nationalists is not so
much that they want to be ruled by Pyongyang or fall under a North
Korean system but that the American military presence in South Korea
perpetuates a division within one people - the Korean people.
The strong feelings of pro-Pyongyang activists become most
obvious when anti-Pyongyang activists launch balloons into the North
loaded with propaganda messages. The two sides confront each other, with
much jostling and shouting. There was a small pro-US demonstration
after the attack on the ambassador but some on the streets of the
capital said they applauded it.
The US state department said it strongly condemned the incident
which South Korean President Park Guen-hye described as an "attack on
the South Korea-US alliance".
A small group of South Koreans held a protest against the
attack outside the hospital where Mr Lippert was treated, waving
placards which read "Mark Lippert, Cheer up!" and "Korea-US relationship
is solid". Eighty stitches
The attack happened at about 07:40 (22:40 GMT Wednesday), as the ambassador was at a performing arts centre in central Seoul.
It took 80 stitches to close the ambassador's facial wound,
which was 11 cm (just more than 4 in) long and 3 cm deep, doctors said.
This photo shows Mark Lippert at the table just before the attack
Blood lay spattered over the table after the assault
The attacker was quickly overpowered
Suspected attacker Kim Ki-jong was taken to hospital
The cut did not affect his nerves or salivary gland, hospital spokesman Chung Nam-sik said.
Lew Dae-hyun, a plastic surgeon at Yonsei University's
Severance Hospital, said Mr Lippert had narrowly escaped having much
more serious injuries.
"If the cut had been one to two centimetres deeper than it is
now, it could have damaged the carotid on the upper neck, which could
have turned it into a serious emergency situation," he said. "It could
have been life-threatening."
Kim Ki-jong's militant past
In 1985, was part of a group that cut and
burned a US flag on the embassy grounds in Seoul, according to South
Korea's Yonhap news agency
Visited North Korea at least six times in 2006-07, reportedly planting trees near the border city of Kaesong
In 2007, set himself on fire in front of the
presidential office in Seoul, asking for an inquiry into a rape that
allegedly took place at his office in 1988 (Yonhap)
When in 2010 he hurled concrete at the then
Japanese envoy, Toshinori Shigeie, it was the first assault on a foreign
ambassador in South Korea; he received a suspended jail term
In 2011, he tried to erect a memorial altar for the late North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, in the heart of Seoul (Yonhap)
Has also staged one-man protests against Japan over an island dispute (Reuters)
'Stretcher interrogation'
The assailant was interrogated three hours on his stretcher
before being taken to hospital, the Yonhap news agency reports, quoting
police.
"We considered the gravity of the issue and that the act could be seen as terrorism," an unnamed prosecution official said.
Ahead of his attack, Mr Kim had reportedly shouted: "South
and North Korea should be reunified!" and condemned the current annual
military exercises held jointly by South Korea and the US.
North Korea has described the exercises - which involve more
than 200,000 troops - as a rehearsal for an invasion and has vowed
retaliation.
A small group of Koreans wished the US ambassador well at a rally outside the hospital where he was treated
A candlelit vigil for the injured envoy was held on Thursday evening in Seoul
The 1950-53 war which split the Korean peninsula ended in an armistice, with neither side able to claim outright victory.
No peace treaty has ever been signed and the sides regularly accuse each other of violating the agreement.
Mr Lippert - a former US assistant secretary of defence - was appointed ambassador to South Korea in 2014.
His wife gave birth in the country, and the couple gave their son a Korean middle name, Associated Press news agency reports.

Thirty-two
suspects were paraded on Wednesday in Akwa Ibom State over alleged
involvement in criminal activities including rape, defilement, child and
human trafficking.
A four-year-old child allegedly sold for N55,000 was also recovered and reunited with his family, reports Daily Trust.
Addressing
newsmen, Assistant Commissioner of Police Mike Okoro, alleged that the
child, Bright Mbaka, was stolen on January 17 by one Grace Uwem, a
cousin to the victim’s mother.
He said the child was
passed through a chain of suspects in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and
finally to Mma Charity and Rehabilitation Home in Isiala Ngwa South
Local Government Area of Abia State.

ACP
Okoro said the child was allegedly handed over to the proprietor of the
home, one Lillian Mma Achumba, who also doubles as the PDP Women Leader
in the state, adding that seven suspects have all confessed to the
crime.
Okoro, who decried what he called the high rate
of human and child trafficking in the state, said the police have also
arrested one Sabbath Christian Ezekiel, who sold a baby for N90,000.
Also in police custody, according to the police commissioner, is one Pastor Udo Obot Job, who defiled a 14-year-old girl.
It
was gathered that the girl’s father, one Bassey Stephen, was receiving
treatment in the pastor’s house when the pastor lured the girl into a
room and raped her.
He warned parents to always monitor
the movement of their children and wards while calling on members of
the public to volunteer information that could help the police to reduce
crime in the state.

North
Korea’s foreign minister warned Tuesday Pyongyang had the power to
conduct a “pre-emptive strike” on the United States, following joint
US-South Korea military drills earlier this week.
Speaking before
the UN Disarmament Conference in Geneva, Ri Su-yong said the military
exercises that kicked off Monday were “unprecedentedly provocative in
nature” and could spark a war.
“The DPRK (Democratic People’s
Republic of Korea) cannot but bolster its nuclear deterrent capability
to cope with the ever-increasing nuclear threat of the US,” he said.
“Now the DPRK has the power of deterring the US and conducting a pre-emptive strike as well if necessary.”
The annual joint exercises always trigger a surge in military tensions and warlike rhetoric on the divided peninsula.
North
Korea fired two short-range Scud missiles into the sea off its east
coast on Monday, and South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported Tuesday
that Pyongyang may be readying to test fire a medium-range missile.
Missile
tests have long been a preferred North Korean method of expressing
anger and displeasure with what it views as confrontational behaviour by
the South and its allies.
Seoul and Washington insist the
exercises are defence-based in nature, but they are regularly condemned
by Pyongyang as provocative rehearsals for invasion.
The
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Ogun state has
declared that it has discovered 555 Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs)
belonging to dead people in the state.
The Commission stated that
the PVCs had been set aside, noting that investigation was still ongoing
with a view to knowing the actual figure of the people who had
registered during the exercise, but are now deceased.
The figure
of deceased persons was disclosed on Monday by the Ogun Resident
Electoral Commission (REC) Chief Timothy Ibitoye during a press
conference held at the Commission’s headquarters in Magbon area, along
IBB Boulevard, Oke Mosan, Abeokuta.
Speaking on how the Commission
discovered the number of PVCs belonging to deceased persons, Ibitoye
explained that, it was discovered shortly after it had displayed the
names of those that were yet to collect their PVCs.
According to
him, “we are trying to make sure we have correct PVCs distribution. We
have gone to all the local government from polling unit to polling unit
to write out the names of those who have not collected their cards and
during our investigation, they gave us the figure of those who are dead
in all the local government areas of the state.
“We got it from
our electoral officers and we have put their PVCs aside. That is how we
were able to get the figure. We are still collating and by the time we
are through, we will let you know the actual figure.
He noted
that: “Community leaders also assisted us when they saw the list of
those that are yet to collect their PVCs. They identified some of these
names as deceased persons,” he explained.
Reacting to the
conflicting reports over the registered voters and the number of the
PVCs collected so far in the state and as well those distributed, the
REC bluntly declared that: “the Commission in the state had received
1,370,340 and had distributed 860,076 PVCs.”
He further clarified
the controversy surrounding the correct figure of the registered voters
in the state. “The total number of registered voters in the state is
1,795,794 and not 1.829,534 as published by some newspapers.
“If
we base the percentage of PVCs on registered voters, we have received 63
per cent, but, if we base it on the figure of the registered voters, it
is 47 per cent. We are expecting 425,454 PVCs from Abuja and the PVCs
yet to be collected as at date is 510,264,” he revealed.

warranted, necessary, proper, or justified, you published several false
allegations against our client...More disturbing is your
misrepresentation that the said documentary was "sponsored" without
disclosing the "sponsors". You cannot under law, hide under media
freedom to maliciously injure a citizen's reputation".
The letter also demanded for N20billion (Twenty Billion
Naira) as cost of damage done to the reputation of its client failing
which the client will sue the company.
Another part of the letter reads: "…to affirm the right of our client
against your defamatory publication, we demand that you confirm to us
within 24 hours of receipt of this letter, an apology and retraction of
the said publication/documentary."
Woju crooner Kiss Daniel is out with the remix of his most anticipated single Woju. He features Davido and Mavin’s first lady Tiwa Savage to rekindle the monster hit and it worked perfectly well. Tiwa Savage brought a new approach to the song making the remix a hit just like the original version.

The Football Association (FA) has upheld Wes Brown’s claim of
wrongful dismissal during Sunderland’s 2-0 defeat at Manchester United
on Saturday.
Referee Roger East apparently dismissed Brown in error for
obstructing a goal-bound attacking move, after United striker Falcao
appeared to be dragged down by John O’Shea as the former also moved in
to make a challenge.
The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) had said the
incident was not a case of mistaken identity after the game at Old
Trafford, stressing: “East thought Brown made a foul on Falcao as he was
in the act of shooting.”

But the FA’s Independent Regulatory Commission has rescinded the
decision. Brown’s one-match suspension has been withdrawn with immediate
effect, meaning the ex-United defender is eligible to feature against
Hull City at the KC Stadium tomorrow.
TMZ just obtained the first photos of Leonardo DiCaprio and Rihanna
pictured together since news hit town that the A-listers are dating. The
actor is pictured standing next to the singer at her birthday party two
weeks ago. See the TMZ report after the cut...
Rihanna and Leo DiCaprio
should be a perfect match -- neither's into settling down with one
person for too long -- but now that they're banging ... one of them is
way more committed than the other.
We got pics of RiRi and Leo getting cozy recently at her birthday
party -- which he helped organize -- and sources at the bash tell us one
thing was clear ... Rihanna's the clingy one.
We're told Leo is affectionate enough -- they engaged in plenty of
PDA -- but he could barely get a moment to himself. As one source put
it, "she's the baddest bitch in the party, but she's following him
everywhere."
We're told they've been hooking up for about 3 months, but it's still
not exclusive -- more like they're each other's first choice. Not that
anyone's crying for either of them. #LeoProblems
He was such a cute lil boy. R&B singer, BankyW shared a childhood photo of

doing same thing and put it side-by-side...lol
Judging by Chris & Karrueche’s past, we’re looking at Kae with a side-eye…but this baby certainly changes the dynamic of a relationship.
