Naomi Campbell and Jussie Smollett are a fierce pair while posing for the cover of Attitude magazine‘s September 2016 issue.
Here is what the Empire co-stars had to share with the mag:
Naomi on Jussie: “Jussie is an unbelievably talented, intelligent, kind and courageous human being and I have enjoyed working alongside him. He has incredible presence and energy. We also share very similar passions such as charity work, especially in raising awareness for HIV/Aids prevention.”
Naomi on how the gay community helped shape her career and life: “I have been surrounded by gay men my entire life, and because I have grown up working in the creative and fashion industries, many of them have become like family to me. I’ve always said without gay men, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
Jussie on how homosexuality has always been part of American culture: “This is American culture. The fact of the matter is, there was Little Richard and Sylvester but there was also Rock Hudson. This idea of homophobia, this idea of hiding, of not being able to truly be who you really are, well I hate to tell my nation, but we are American culture.”
Jussie on being out in Hollywood: “I get tired of the idea of someone telling me what my truth is. I’ve said from the beginning of my journey: I do not hide who I am. I love who I love. No one is going to tell me that somehow that is going to be my disability. I am told so many times that I should not walk truly in my blackness, that I should not walk truly in my sexuality, I should not walk truly in who I am. I say thanks but no thanks, fuck you and goodbye. I honestly think that me being myself has actually helped my career move forward.”

Leoandro Osemeke
A 15-year-old boy (who has not been named) has been charged with murder after the death of a Nigerian teenager, Leoandro Osemeke who was stabbed at a house party in South London.
Leoandro, 16, who raps with the stage name, “Showkey”, died as a result of a stab wound to his chest. Hhe was found with multiple stab wounds on Friday, August 5th in Colgrove Road, Peckham, after neighbours reported public disturbance.
Speaking to London Evening Standard, Leoandro’s father, Emmanuel, said:
We are in mourning. We will all miss Leoandro deeply. He was highly talented and intelligent and loved by so many.There have been many people at our home paying their respects. We cannot understand why this has happened.My son was a wonderful boy and never in any trouble. He was heading for a career in music, he was a great writer and a true talent. He wanted to be remembered as a legend and he will be for us.
“He was an amazing son,” said Leoandro’s mother.
Leoandro’s tragic demise came one week after his 16th birthday and few days to he and his family’s trip to Nigeria for holiday.
Leoandro, the sixth teenager to be killed in London this year, had recently released a song in tribute to his friend Myron Yarde, 17, who was also stabbed nearby in April. The song was titled, “Is it really worth it”.
Fresh off the release of his debut album called “Gold”, YBNL artist Adekunle Gold is out with new photos. From his beautifully patterned and colourful shirts to his golden coloured robe, there are discernable elements of his African identity.
From his signature Adire to the map of Africa accessory on his neck, the identity of the singer is definitely unquestionable.

Betty Irabor, Chioma ‘Chigul’ Omeruah & Linda Ikeji talk about the Pressure Women face to get Married before 30
09:05Unknown
Genevieve Magazine reached out to publisher Betty Irabor, comedian/actress Chioma ‘Chigul’ Omeruah and celebrity blogger Linda Ikeji for their thoughts on the pressure women face to get married before the age of 30.
Here’s what they had to say:
Linda Ikeji: Marriage is not an achievement. There is so much more to life than being someone’s wife. Get married please, but don’t be pressured into it. I don’t know how many of you single girls are under pressure to get married but I am. Pressure from family, friends and people who just can’t mind their business. The pressure is so intense right now I feel like going to husband market – if there is any such thing- to buy myself some breathing space. Give me a break you people.
Chigul: In my opinion, the pressure is not a fabrication. It is very real! After you have worn asoebi about a million times, you begin to wonder when it is going to be your turn to sell asoebi too! And when you factor in mums and aunties constantly reminding you of the shelf life of women. It gets to you, even if it is just a bit. People may even suggest some very strange things to you to do to ‘earn’ marriage. Well, I have come to realise that we allow ourselves to be pressured. The decision to get married should not be taken because you are being pressured, that could lead to a disaster. Don’t let anyone make you go into anything you are not ready for or your joy may be shortlived. And to those mounting pressure on others to go and get married, there is simply no justification for your behaviour
Betty Irabor: I don’t think women should be worried about being married before 30 because many women before that age have not yet gone through the school of life which prepares them for marriage
