Flex vs Foreign Ward: A New Beef Brewing

I have to write this the real chichipoly way, because it is too juicy to be standard.  So, apparently, Foreign Ward reached out to Flex camp, offering to be a ghost writer for Flex. That didn't sit well with Foreign Ward old friend, DJ Lib, who is now associated with Flex camp.  DJ Lib posted this indirect message on his Facebook page for Foreign Ward:     If you say you don't need no one to be successful and your music is this & that, why you writing long message trying to be apart of what we got going? # moneymakingafricans the family   The indirect shots started flying back and forth, after that.  Things started to get really mess.  You know how we are, we love messy situations.  We will definitely monitor this beef and see what the outcome is going to be.  According to our sources, Flex team has hired a writer and it is not Foreign Ward.  

Tiger Woods Arrested for Alleged DUI

Tiger Woods arrested According to multiple reports, champion golfer Tiger Woods was arrested Monday for an alleged DUI. The New York Post reports that Woods was booked at the Palm Springs County Jail around 3 a.m. and released at 11 a.m. He has been charged with driving under the influence, but reports have not yet said whether police claim he was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.   In his mug shot, Woods is unshaven with messy hair and vacant eyes; he looks absolutely haggard. He's been on a hiatus from his golfing career due to years worth of recurring back problems. He recently had his fourth surgery since 2014, and he's sitting out this year's PGA season. In the last two years, he's only made three starts, and has not played professionally since he pulled out of the Dubai Desert Classic in February after the opening round.  Woods just posted to his blog last week, detailing the fusion surgery he had recently, and saying he plans to

Is DenG losing his magic?

DenG According to an article written by the Liberian Observer, DenG songs are falling off the charts faster than before.   "From ‘Make Dem Talk’ to ‘Some Done Some Na Done,’ it now appears that the top notch artist has lost his lyrical prowess. The two singles’ ‘hot lifespan’ didn’t go past a month after their release dates, maybe owing to the fact that they have a similar message to his first hit single ‘They Vex,’ without being as catchy. Both songs fell short of tapping into his fans’ expectations, and the lyrics appear to lack that power that could speak directly to the soul." Reading the comment session of the article, most of his fans agreed with the writer.  One actually wrote, " The writer was right... Deng didn't do well in the song he ft sarkodie... He has to work on his lyrics and style I have noticed he is trying to change his original sound to something different...." ZB QuoiQuoi This was DenG respond to the author of the a

Meet Chauncy Yarngo, A Chef Claims To Be Remaking Liberian Food

  One of chef Yarngo presentation  An article on chef Yarngo was posted few days ago of the internet, titled " Liberian Chef Rethinks His Country’s Cuisine. "  Chef Chauncy Yarngo is a Liberian narrative.  His culinary skills have taken him far and beyond.  He's creative, hardworking and skillful.  As I read through the article, something caught my attention.   “I cannot be a chef and live here and make my country’s food exactly like they do back home,” says Yarngo about his food. “I’m going to leave the Liberian food to the chef in Liberia.”    One of the greatest impact we face from the war, as Liberians, is the infusion of many different cultures within our society.  From our music to fashion, almost everything within our culture havE been water down, because of our experiences from exile.  One thing that remains consistent is the Liberian cuisine.  Are we going to water that down too? I see Chef Yarngo creativity, I understands it and appreciate it

JB SoulFresh Call On Musicains To Stop Disrespecting Media Personalities, DJs, Promoters, Managers and Sponsors

JB Soulfresh Wise Words from JB of Soulfresh.  The artist posted these words early this morning on his Facebook page:  I see too many drama in our slow motion music industry these days on social media.. The chain of unity is breaking slowly especially between promoters, bloggers, djs, managers, sponsors and the artists... Every year all we hear is Liberian music is getting there.. Yeah no doubt, the music is better now, the fans are responding... But from a business stand point, we are going no where folks.. It's time to make the money and no excuse about that...

So if we have problems, there are ways to state these burning issues instead o
