 Hushpuppi who is fully known as Ramon Abbas is currently in fresh trouble as new evidence emerges and sadly for him, it is against him. 

The new evidence against the alleged internet fraudster is that he used a personal email to register on a website known as 'whizzlog'. Now, whizzlog is a market place where you can purchase US bank logs and money laundering. 

The evidence also stated that his email address contained receipts of bank logs he bought and also registration confirmation from Whizzlog. 

Other charges found against Hushpuppi can be viewed in the images below;








U.S presidential candidate and American rapper Kanye West has again blasted his wife and her mother in a series of tweets, a day after causing worries among fans for his mental health.

Among the claims, the American rapper seemingly disclosed that he has made attempts to file for divorce from Kim Kardashian West, while reiterating that the Kardashians have also tried to have him hospitalized in recent days.

The U.S presidential candidate made mention of rappers Meek Mill and Drake, who have been at the center of unsubstantiated Kim Kardashian cheating rumors over the years.

The tweets have long been deleted from his page.

The Tweets read:

“They tried to fly in with 2 doctors to 51/50 me

“I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf for ‘prison reform’

“I got 200 more to go. This my lady tweet of the night … Kris Jong-Un Lil baby my favorite rapper but won’t do a song wit me”.

Kanye appears to be referring to the time Kim and Nicki Minaj’s ex Meek Mill came up together to speak at the inaugural Criminal Justice Reform Summit in Los Angeles in November 2018.

He added:

“Meek is my man and was respectful That’s my dog Kim was out of line I’m worth 5 billion dollars and more than that through Christ But ya’ll ain’t listen to MJ and now ya’ll believe them???”

In another tweet about Michael Jackson, Kanye said that the singer was “murdered”.

He wrote:

“MJ told you about Tommy before they killed him Kim saved my daughters life in the name of Jesus It’s Gods choice only I will live for my children Kris I’m in Cody if your not planning another one of your children’s playboy shoots”.
Kanye also accused Kim’s mother Kris Jenner of “white supremacy” as he shared his private text messages with his mother-in-law.



One read:

 “This Ye, you ready to talk now or re still avoiding my call?”
 
A second said: 

“This Ye, you wanna talk or go to war?”

He captioned the screenshot: 

“White supremacy at its highest no cap” – Kris was yet to reply to his messages.

The father-of-four later wrote:

 “Kriss and Kim put out a statement without my approval … that’s not what a wife should do White supremacy”.

He then added: 

“Says the future President.”


Twitter Inc has disabled a campaign video tweet that President Donald Trump retweeted on his page on Saturday, citing a copyright complaint.

The video, which included music from the group Linkin Park, disappeared from the president’s Twitter feed late Saturday with the notification: “This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner.”

Twitter removed the video, which Trump had retweeted from White House social media director Dan Scavino.

The social media platform acted after it received a Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice from Machine Shop Entertainment, according to a notice posted on the Lumen Database which collects requests for removal of online materials.

Machine Shop is a management company owned by the rock band Linkin Park, according to its LinkedIn page.

“We respond to valid copyright complaints sent to us by a copyright owner or their authorized representatives,” a Twitter representative said in an email statement.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Twitter began challenging Trump’s tweets in May and has repeatedly clashed with him since.

The social media company has several times disabled or commented on tweets by the president because of what it said were copyright complaints or violations of a policy against threatening violence.

Twitter removed an image the president tweeted on June 30, which included a picture of Trump, because of a complaint from the New York Times, whose photographer had shot the image.

The company also put a tweet from the president behind a warning label in late May, saying that he had violated its rules against “glorifying violence” when he advocated that Minneapolis authorities be tough in responding to protests over the death of George Floyd.



The Kenyan government has asked schools to either refund parents the school fees paid for this academic year or agree to put it towards next year.

Kenya's education minister, George Magoha made this known while responding to concerns raised after his announcement on Tuesday, July 7, that primary and secondary schools would not reopen until 2021 as Coronavirus cases in the country were rising.


He said this year's school calendar has been declared null and void due to the COVID-19, with all students to repeat a year as schools had closed in mid-March, three months after the school calendar had begun.

 
Some parents weren't pleased with the government's decision to have their children repeat a year in a school, but the country's parents' association said the online classes were a good way to keep the students busy.

 
The East African country has confirmed more than 8,000 cases of Coronavirus with at least 164 deaths.

The world’s first self-proclaimed gold-plated hotel, called Dolce Hanoi Golden Lake Hotel is reportedly open for business in Vietnam.

Despite the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, the hotel is plated in 24-carat gold in its lobbies. It also features an infinity pool and rooms with all cutleries, toilet seats, showerheads in gold.

It has 400 rooms and will be operated under the American Wyndham Hotels brand. A room at the room goes $250 (N96,875.00) per night and apartments are available for rent there. Gold for the hotel was locally sourced to reduce building costs.

“We want the ordinary people to the super-rich… to check-in. Our group has a factory that can do gold-plated stuff, so the cost for our equipment and furniture here is quite cheap,” Nguyen Huu Duong, the owner of the hotel, said.

A 72-year-old man has been arrested after pushing an 86-year-old man out of an elevator in a Miami Beach apartment, claiming he did it to protect himself and his wife from Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Nachem Gross, 72, faces charges of aggravated battery of an elderly person after CCTV footage from June 22 showed him pushing Gerald Steiglitz, 86, out of an elevator.

The footage shows Gross holding up his two fingers, believed to be in reference to the two-person elevator rule, before pushing Steiglitz, causing him to fall.

Gross has defended his actions, claiming he was trying to protect himself from coronavirus in line with the building’s rules around social distancing that allow only two people in the elevators at a time.

‘I saw him before in the building, in the swimming pool and the elevators. We always were friendly, hello, and that was it. But he could have said to me, ‘go down, take the next one,’ said Steiglitz.

‘He just pushed me out. I’m not looking for financial reward. I’m not looking for anything.’

Gross turned himself into Miami Beach Police at around 9a.m. Thursday to face the charges brought against him.


Prince Harry called out Institutional Racism and commits to being “Part of the Change” in a video recorded for the 2020 Diana awards in honour of his late mother, Princess Diana.

Prince Harry called on young people to help fix the current ills in our society and praised what the recipients had already accomplished.

“My wife said recently that our generation and the ones before us haven’t done enough to right the wrongs of the past,” Harry said. “I too am sorry—sorry that we haven’t got the world to the place that you deserve it to be.”

“Institutional racism has no place in our societies yet it is still endemic,” he said. “Unconscious bias must be acknowledged without blame to create a better world for all of you.”

“I want you to know that we are committed to being part of the solution and to being part of the change that you are all leading,” Prince Harry said. “Now is the time and we know that you can do it.”
 


The United States Department of Health services has bought nearly all the supply of breakthrough COVID-19 drug Remdesivir for itself.

Due to this, the rest of the world is left possibly without any supply for the next three months.

According to reports, Trump’s administration has bought the next 500,000 doses of the anti-viral drug, Remdesvir, from manufacturer Gilead, which is 90% of all the drug that the company will produce throughout August and September.

At first, 140,000 doses of the drug was delivered to countries all over the world for trials and it was during this time the drug’s success rate in treating patients was discovered.

White House immunologist Dr Anthony Fauci in April said remdesivir cannot cure or prevent Covid-19, but hospitalized patients given the drug were found to recover 31% faster than those who weren’t given the drug.

US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, praised the US buy saying:

‘President Trump has struck an amazing deal to ensure Americans have access to the first authorized therapeutic for Covid-19.

‘To the extent possible, we want to ensure that any American patient who needs remdesivir can get it. The Trump administration is doing everything in our power to learn more about life-saving therapeutics for Covid-19 and secure access to these options for the American people.’

UK doctor and scientist, Dr Andrew Hill from the University of Liverpool reacting to the US’ hoarding of the drug told The Guardian:

‘They’ve got access to most of the drug supply (of remdesivir), so there’s nothing for Europe.’

“Remdesivir is under Gilead’s patent, meaning no other drug company can manufacture its own supplies.”


The Indian government has banned TikTok, Helo, WeChat and 56 other Chinese mobile applications, to counter the threat posed by these applications to its “sovereignty and security”.

The ban came amid escalating tensions along the disputed border between the two countries. Relations between the world’s two most populous nations have been strained following the deaths of 20 Indian troops in hand-to-hand fighting with their Chinese counterparts on the western end of the high-altitude, the contested border in mid-June.

India’s Ministry of Information Technology cited complaints about data on Indian users being transferred abroad without authorisation, said the ban was imposed under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act read with relevant provisions of the Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking of Access of Information by Public) Rules 2009. The ministry said;

“The compilation of these data, its mining and profiling by elements hostile to national security and defence of India, which ultimately impinges upon the sovereignty and integrity of India, is a matter of very deep and immediate concern which requires emergency measures.”

TikTok has now reacted to the ban in its own statement, saying;

“Building empowered local management teams in the countries where TikTok operates, including India, has been critical to our global success.

“While the Government of India has issued an interim order to block 59 apps, our team of around 2,000 employees in India is committed to working with the government to demonstrate our dedication to user security and our commitment to the country overall.

“We are proud to provide hundreds of millions of users in India – and around the world – a creative platform for their stories, performances, education, and, often, a way to make their livelihood.”

India’s TikTok influencers are now urging their fans to follow them on other social media platforms after the government announced the ban.

As news of the ban came into effect, TikTok creators began to post videos with their Instagram handles and YouTube links.

Actress Shraddha Arya deleted all her TikTok posts except for one listing her Instagram and Facebook handle.
Some creators even posted videos about how to use Instagram.

Others posted farewell videos with the hashtag #ByeTikTok, saying they agreed with the government’s move and would delete their accounts from the app.

In an interview with India TV, actress Ashnoor Kaur, who has 3.2 million followers on TikTok, celebrated the government’s move saying it presented an opportunity for India to become self-sufficient and use homegrown apps.

“I am really happy with this decision and I’m totally in support of it,” she said, adding, “your country comes first.”



One of the four ex-Minneapolis Police officers charged in George Floyd's killing will plead not guilty to all charges. 

J Alexander Kueng, 26, who is charged along with Derek Chauvin, 44, Tou Thao, 34, and Thomas Lane, 37,  made his intentions known in a court filing obtained by DailyMail.com.

The papers filed by attorney Thomas Plunkett state that the ex-cop intends to plead not guilty and use the defenses of self-defense, justifiable force, and authorized use of force.

It was reportedly filed after he and his fellow defendant officers appeared in Hennepin County District Court for a pretrial hearing.    

Chauvin, who pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes during an arrest as Floyd pleaded “I can’t breathe ”faces three charges - second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.

The other three officers, meanwhile, are charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and manslaughter.

The next court appearance for the ex-officers was set for September with a tentative trial date set for March 8, 2021.

George Floyd died on May 25 while in police custody in Minneapolis. Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes during an arrest as Floyd pleaded “I can’t breathe.”

The police killing, captured on bystander video, triggered outrage and waves of Worldwide protests against racism and police brutality. 

An independent autopsy revealed that George Floyd  was murdered by ex-cop Derek Chauvin after knee on his neck 'caused asphyxia that led to a lack of blood flow to the brain.' He was buried on the 9th of June in his hometown of Houston.

 


Iran has issued an arrest warrant for US President Donald Trump and dozens of others it believes carried out the drone strike that killed a top Iranian general in Baghdad.

It is also requesting that the International Police, Interpol assist in arresting the US President.Iran issues arrest warrant for Trump asks Interpol to help.

Tehran prosecutor Ali Alqasi Mehr said on Monday that Trump, along with more than 30 others Iran accuses of involvement in the January 3 attack that killed General Qassem Soleimani, face “murder and terrorism charges”, the semi-official ISNA news agency reported.

Mehr claimed Trump would be prosecuted as soon as he stands down presidency after his term ends, Fars reported.
Iran also said it had asked Interpol to issue a Red Notice for these 36 individuals, semi-official state news agency ISNA reported, though it was unlikely that Interpol would grant the request. CNN has contacted Interpol for comment.

Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike at Baghdad International Airport in January along with five others, including Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy head of the Iran-backed Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF).

The strike, condemned by Iran and its allies as an “assassination,” raised the specter of further regional destabilization.
A spokesman for Iran’s judiciary, Gholam-Hossein Esmaili, announced in early June that an Iranian citizen had been sentenced to death for allegedly working for foreign intelligence agencies. Esmaili claimed that Seyed Mahmoud Mousavi Majd disclosed the whereabouts of Soleimani to US intelligence officials.

The Pentagon blamed Soleimani for the deaths of hundreds of Americans and US allies in the months leading up to his killing.

“General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region,” the Pentagon said at the time, calling the strike “decisive defensive” action aimed at deterring future Iranian attacks.


The ex-Minneapolis Police officer charged with killing George Floyd and the three others accused of aiding and abetting in his death are expected to appear in court later today. 

Derek Chauvin, who is charged with second-degree murder in Floyd's death on May 25, will appear remotely via video.

While his former colleagues, J. Alexander Kueng, Tou Thao, and Thomas Lane, who are each charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter, will appear in person and no cameras will be allowed in court. 

Chauvin’s bail was set at $1.25 million or $1 million under certain conditions, while bail for Kueng, Thao, and Lane was set at $1 million each or $750,000 under certain conditions.
 
According to jail records, Chauvin, 44, and Thao, 34, have been in custody since their arrest, while Lane, 37, and Kueng, 26, were released on conditional bond.

George Floyd died on May 25 while in police custody in Minneapolis. Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes during an arrest as Floyd pleaded “I can’t breathe.”

The police killing, captured on bystander video, triggered outrage and waves of Worldwide protests against racism and police brutality.

As the world continues to battle the COVID-19 pandemic – one of the worst in decades – some states who eased lockdown orders, are going back to it as cases continue to rise.

Global coronavirus cases exceeded 10 million on Sunday according to a Reuters tally, a major milestone in the pandemic. The global death toll exceeded half a million in seven months, another grim marker.

In California, the easing of lockdown is being rolled back, as bars were ordered to close yesterday, after cases nationwide soar to record levels day after day.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s order for bars to close in Los Angeles and six other counties followed moves by Texas and Florida to shut all their bars on Friday.

Public health officials in California and throughout the United States have identified bars as the riskiest non-essential businesses currently open.

More than 2.5 million people have tested positive for the new coronavirus in the United States and more than 125,000 have died, making the country the worst affected globally.

For a third consecutive day on Saturday, the number of confirmed U.S. cases leapt by more than 40,000, one of the world’s largest surges.

In many states, people under 35 accounted for a large percentage of new cases. More tests are also coming back positive, up to 25% in some areas.

Due to the surge in cases, Vice President Mike Pence canceled events to campaign for Donald Trump’s re-election in Florida and Arizona.


On Sunday, Pence traveled to Texas, where he told a news conference that Americans should wear masks.

“We encourage everyone to wear a mask in the affected areas,” Pence said. “Where you can’t maintain social distancing, wearing a mask is just a good idea, especially young people.”


The United Nations, UN has released a statement regarding a rather disturbing video of a couple having sex in an official vehicle of the agency.

In the viral video which was shot in HaYarkon Street, a major thoroughfare in Tel Aviv, Israel, a woman wearing a red dress was seen straddling a man in the back seat of a white SUV with UN markings.

The video featured a 4×4 vehicle which is “likely assigned to the UN Truce Supervision Organisation (UNTSO)”.

The people caught on camera are believed to be staff members of a peacekeeping organization in Israel.

Stéphane Dujarric, the spokesman for the UN’s Secretary-General said they are “shocked and deeply disturbed” by the scandalous viral video. He described the behavior as “abhorrent” and further disclosed that an investigation into the matter was “moving very quickly.”

Dujarric said;

“We are shocked and deeply disturbed by what is seen on the video.

“The behaviour seen in it is abhorrent and goes against everything that we stand for and have been working to achieve in terms of fighting misconduct by UN staff.

“We became aware of the video a little bit more than two days ago and our colleagues in the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) were immediately activated.

“Their investigation I know is moving very quickly. We know the location of the incident and the identification of individuals in the video, who are likely assigned to the UNTSO, is close to being completed.

“As part of the UN’s commitment to transparency, the UN will provide updates on the conclusion of the investigation, and any further action.”

BBC reported that the UN has strict policies against sexual misconduct by its staff members, and workers may be disciplined or possibly banned from peacekeeping operations if they are found to be in breach of the rules.

The inter-governmental organization has been plagued with allegations of sexual misconduct by its peacekeepers and other staff in recent years.

In 2019, there were a total of 175 allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse against UN staff members. Of those allegations, 16 were substantiated, 15 were unsubstantiated and the others are still being investigated.

A man, Aba Tilahun Woldemichael reportedly 114-year-old has recovered from Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Ethiopia.

According to the man’s family, he is 114 even though he has no birth certificate to confirm his age.

Woldemichael was treated at Yeka Kotebe hospital and according to Dr. Hiluf Abate from the hospital, he tested positive for the virus when a random screening process took place in his neighborhood in the capital, Addis Ababa.

Speaking with BBC, the doctor stated that within four days of his admission to the severe coronavirus ward in Yeka Kotebe hospital, Aba Tilahun’s condition deteriorated as the virus took hold and he was put on oxygen.

He however spent 14 days at the hospital and was treated with oxygen for more than a week.
 
“It’s really incredible that he survived being so old and we are happy that he has been discharged.”

Although Yeka Kotebe hospital said they could not confirm that its patient is 114 years old, the medical team says he is definitely older than 100 and has estimated that he is 109.

Aba Tilahun Woldemichael who has been discharged from the hospital is now being taken care of at home by his 24-year-old grandson Binyam Lulseged Tilahun.

Mr. Binyam added that his grandfather is healthy and doing well despite his age, but the after-effects of the virus had weakened his voice.

Former US President, Barack Obama has reunited with Joe Biden and helped raise $11million for the White House hopeful Joe Biden during a Tuesday virtual fundraiser.

Obama during the grass-root fundraiser said a “great awakening” among Americans could help defeat Donald Trump in November’s election.

Some $7.6 million of that came from 175,000 grassroots donors “who continue to power this campaign every single day,” Biden press secretary TJ Ducklo tweeted.

Obama’s split-screen appearance with the Democratic presidential candidate was his first with Biden since he endorsed his former vice president in mid-April.

“I am here to say the help is on the way if we do the work, because there’s nobody I trust more to be able to heal this country and get back on track than my dear friend Joe Biden,” said Obama.

“What makes me optimistic is the fact that there is a great awakening going on around the country, particularly among younger people” who are “fed up with the shambolic, disorganized, mean-spirited approach to governance that we’ve seen over the last couple of years,” he added.

Biden said he agreed with Obama’s remarks on political change. He also suggested world leaders have grown weary of Trump, saying “they’re desperately, desperately waiting for American leadership.”

Biden has held no in-person campaign rallies since mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

He has largely remained in his Delaware home, using social media, television interviews or advertisements to attack Trump for what he says is an inadequate, failed effort to contain the virus’s spread or improve economic conditions for millions of suffering Americans.


Trump, meanwhile, has disregarded his own government’s guidelines and held several in-person events, including a weekend rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The president followed up with a Tuesday rally in Phoenix. Both locations are experiencing spikes in new coronavirus cases, but most attendees did not wear masks.

Novak Djokovic and his wife, Jelena, have tested positive for COVID-19, this is coming after the tennis star return from the Adria Tour.


The world No 1 was the face behind the Adria Tour, a series of exhibition events that started in the Serbian capital and then moved to Zadar, Croatia, last weekend. The event hosted many tennis stars despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

Djokovic earlier today revealed that he and his wife, Jelena, tested positive for Covid-19 after taking a test immediately after returning to Belgrade from Zadar in Croatia. He said:

“I am extremely sorry for each individual case of infection. I hope that it will not complicate anyone’s health situation and that everyone will be fine.”
 
“The moment we arrived in Belgrade we went to be tested. My result is positive, just as Jelena’s, while the results of our children are negative.

“Everything we did in the past month, we did with a pure heart and sincere intentions. Our tournament meant to unite and share a message of solidarity and compassion throughout the region.

“We organized the tournament at the moment when the virus has weakened, believing that the conditions for hosting the Tour had been met. Unfortunately, this virus is still present, and it is a new reality that we are still learning to cope and live with.”

The Serbian international is the latest tennis star to test positive after Croatia’s Borna Coric, and Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria previously tested positive the tournament.
