Ambitiouz has done it again and this time, rapper Ifani was the one to catch some smoke. The record label once again caused a bit of a stir on Twitter when they shaded Ifani, calling him a clown.The disgraced record label is always on the lookout for new talent so when they were scouting for an artist to sign, fans rooted for Ifani. “Mention that dope artist you think should join the A-team,” they asked, and one tweep mentioned Ifani.“We said rappers not clowns,” Ambitiouz responded, wrecking havoc in the comments section. Now, we know Ifani has been releasing new music ever since making a comeback, but has not given other rappers a run for their money. When he came back, he had one mission and that was to burst AKA’s bubble after he called him a “rubbish artist.”

Fans came to his defense saying he was successful when he was big, and has hits bigger than their current signed artists. fani has a GOLD Plaque. Stop Playing and respect artists. And the only clown is you admin, hiding behind Ambitious Account. Lets makes this space a positive space.

“He’s not a clown, he’s creative individual and has influence…its very unfortunate that record labels will never understand this

Sithe Rappers not clowns.🤡 https://t.co/t6gG0IlY7R

I have disappointed a lot of people, my entire family is disappointed in me. I have disappointed my fans, I have disappointed my baby mommas, I have two now, they don’t want to see me. And the main thing they talk about is ‘why aren’t you working? Why are you chilling at home. There I am chilling at home, doing nothing.

He then apologised for neglecting his career as he reckons he was tasked to take Xhosa rap to greater heights. “For that disappointment I want to say I am sorry. My career was supposed to blossom. Take Xhosa to overseas, I had dreams but all of a sudden I said No,” he said.

Apart from releasing singles, Ifani hosted a travel and lifestyle television show on SABC 3 called Amah Knows Best. This saw the rapper travelling all across China and trying out the different cuisine’s. Amah Knows Best is all about trying out different ancient generational recipes that have been shared with Amah’s which are elderly people, over the years.

The South African star recently headed online to share a heartwarming post dedicated to celebrating the success of BNG that was launched exactly two years ago today. Her post also included two snaps of herself looking as lush as ever.

Despite the actress declaring she will not miss pregnancy, we still think she looks stunning. Still looking like a snack, Jili has a lot of women wishing they were pregnant. Taking to her Instagram, the mother to share her pregnancy experience.

How some people view pregnancy vs reality are two very different worlds🤣. Walking/sleeping through/ sitting/eating through (you get the picture). The final stretch (which lasts a good 10years). I will not miss carrying full term, nope, I said it, baby be heavy.

Who voted for the 9months vele, never again. I’m gonna be the dad next time😂. It’s truly been a surreal experience for me. With a whole lot of first times that I had to and still am going through. But nothing in this journey could or would ever have me change how it all came together.

From my very first visit to Docs office when I got the news, to the weird, unexplainable feeling I had walking back to the car. Informing and welcoming families and friends to the journey and now when everyone wants to know whether baby has arrived or not. After all of this I might not remember the exact days, the people that were involved, the moments that were shared.But I know for sure that I will never forget how beautiful a feeling that I carried throughout this pregnancy (drama queen moment aside). This has been the most spiritually enlightening experience of my life thus far and maybe words will never truly be able to fully describe the feeling but dzamn it feels so good. Anyway, baby hasn’t arrived and I’m still a bubble so, BLAAAH HAPPY THURSDAY

Inside actor Menzi Ngubane’s memorial service! It was an afternoon filled with emotionally-charged tributes as those close to the late Menzi Ngubane gathered at the Assemblies Of God Sandton Church on Thursday for a memorial service fit for acting royalty.

Actors Thapelo Mokoena and Ayanda Borotho were the MCs of the day and began the programme with a moment of silence in Menzi’s honour. The veteran actor died on March 13 after suffering a stroke, aged 56.Ayanda expressed her heartbreak over Menzi’s death, saying she had believed him when he said last year that his time to die was far off. This was after another death hoax surrounding Menzi went viral.

 His brother, Bonny Ngubane, also spoke about how the death hoaxes always angered the family. He then asked for media and people to be sensitive to Menzi’s wife, Sike, and the family. He thanked Sike for loving Menzi so well.

Songstress Judith Sephuma gave a heartfelt performance as she sang a rendition of Andrea Bocelli’s The Prayer accompanied by Pastor Given Mabena of Joyous Celebration fame.Actress Sonia Mbele, Baby Cele, Sophie Lichaba and make-up artist Bongi Mlotshwa were spotted in the congregation that gathered, while the likes of Siyabonga Shibe and Portia Gumede tuned into the live stream on YouTube to bid Menzi farewell.

Here are some of the most touching moments from the service:“You were his reason to smile”
When veteran actor Patrick Shai spoke, he joined many of Menzi’s friends who gave Menzi’s wife her flowers.

“I want to say, had it not been for you Sike, Menzi wouldn’t have been able to smile on set. Had you not been the person Menzi could run to with all the dynamics on set, his health challenges and industry issues, had you not been the kind of woman you are, Menzi would not have been the kind of Menzi that we speak of so fondly today. I want you to reside in the comfort that you contributed immensely to the Menzi you gave to the industry,” Patrick said.

Menzi’s presence …
Both Sonia and Thato Molamu recalled stories from their days together on the set of Generations. Sonia got a fright when the frame broke and Menzi’s photo fell behind her as she spoke. She became teary after that moment, saying she felt Menzi’s presence.

Thato applauded Menzi for fighting for actors.

“Menzi Ngubane fought and stood with us from 2013/4 and he still to this day believed the industry itself would change and build families, because it is very important that if you are giving of yourself and your children are watching you 20 years from now, they should benefit from the work that you’ve given.”

A goodbye from his Isibaya Ngwenya family
An emotional Abdul Khoza, who played his on-screen son, had to hold back tears multiple times as he spoke about how Menzi treated him like a biological son.

“I lost a father. He was a father to me at work and in life. uBaba changed my life in a way I could have never imagined,” Abdul said.

Linda Sebezo and Linda Mtoba wiped tears as Abdul spoke, struggling to keep it together as emotions ran high.

“As a character, it was written for me that I am the kind of son who swears that I will never be like my father. However, in real life, there is no-one I look up to and wish to be like, only you … because there’s no-one like you,” Abdul said.
