Kanye West had a few announcements to make on Friday…

Rapper Kanye West did the strangest thing on Friday afternoon.

The 39-year-old deleted his Instagram and Twitter accounts leaving fans confused as to what must have informed that decision.

Kanye’s reason for going off social media remains unknown but he was also absent at the 2017 Met Gala where his wife, Kim Kardashian told the press Kanye was “taking some time off and really loving that“.

Later that day though, the couple announced the launch of their kids’ clothing line: TheKidsSupply.

Kim announced the line in a number of tweets, one of which read, “For the past few years Kanye and I have made almost all of our kids clothes and we have collaborated on a new kids line!

The collection has everything for parents who want to dress their kids like North and Saint West, the couple’s two kids.

The most expensive item in the line is this $240 bomber jacket.

Still on the international scene…

Nicki Minaj went on a spree on Saturday night.

The No Frauds rapper was on Twitter promoting a contest that would earn fans a free trip to meet her at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas when a fan asked, “Well you wanna pay for my tuition?

Nicki replied, “Show me straight A’s that I can verify w/ur school and I’ll pay it. Who wants to join THAT contest?!?! Dead serious. Shld I set it up?

Then the messages rolled in:

Days after simultaneously revealing their relationship via Instagram, Nollywood lovebirds, Banky W and Adesua Etomi held their introduction on Saturday in Lagos.

They later treated guests to an after party in Ikoyi.

Also at the introduction…

Beat FM OAP, Tolu “Toolz” Oniru and her husband, Tunde Demuren revealed that they are expecting their first child.

 

Another Nollywood actor passes on

Adeshina Adesanya, popularly known as Pastor Ajidara, died from a kidney disease he had been battling since 2013.

He passed on Saturday hours after calls were made by his colleagues for donations towards his treatment.
