She has been signed to several different model agencies and had a long illustrious career. Not bad for someone in an industry where the lifespan of a career barely makes 5 years.

Afrikan Boy’s Hussel Verse (off M.I.A.’s Album Kala)

Maaaan… I didn’t know where to file this… but it’s definitely worth the listen. What are your thoughts? Funny? Wack? Anyone heard of him before? If you want the full song, hit Kevin up! kevin[at]whyiloveafrika[dot]com.

Anyways… here’s his lyrics:

You think it’s tough now, come to Africa
You think it’s tough now, come to Africa

Out there, we are grinding like pepper
You can catch me on the motorway,
Selling sugar, water and pepper
I rep Africa not Miami,
hustle hustle with M.I.A.
I’m broke, I’ve got indefinite stay,
You can’t touch me like leprosy,
I hustle tough from here to Sri Lanka,
My mum told me to be an accountant,
But I wanna work in a corner shop,
Contact Sugu, he’s got the contacts, mayne
I’m illegal, I don’t pay tax tax
EMA yes I’m claiming that that
Police, I try to avoid them
They catch me hustling, they say deport them…

Only in Africa… According to Reuters a goat was arrested in Nigeria.

Police in Nigeria are holding a goat on suspicion of attempted armed robbery.

Vigilantes took the black and white beast to the police saying it was an armed robber who had used black magic to transform himself into a goat to escape arrest after trying to steal a Mazda 323.

“The group of vigilante men came to report that while they were on patrol they saw some hoodlums attempting to rob a car. They pursued them. However one of them escaped while the other turned into a goat,” Kwara state police spokesman Tunde Mohammed told Reuters by telephone.
