He writes to her as a friend that refuses to remain silent “while a section of society bashed you these past few days” Read his open letter to her below. Dear Dorcas, I’m compelled to write you a public letter because I have an overwhelming urge to participate in the public discuss of your recent episode. As a friend, I will feel I failed you by remaining quiet while a section of society bashed you these past few days. But rather than defend you to a group of people who don’t know you personally and who have made up their minds even in the face of overwhelming evidence, allow me to publicly tell you about your experience, what you did right and what you should have done differently. First off, your biggest crime in all of this was not fitting into the stereotype! You’ve been dragged in many sections for being bold and courageous under fire. While the taxi driver was taken you to a wrong destination, just because your voice was firm and assertive, it seemed as though nothi...

To break that cycle for black men and women. The key to working through marital difficulties, regardless of one's fame, is having "the tools to move ...

Why do you like to sing about love? I like love but I don’t make only love songs. If you listen to my debut album, Gold, there are six songs on it that have nothing to do with love. I see things daily and I sing about them. I like to sing about things that happen to people because the audience relates to those things easily. Have you ever had a one-night stand before? Even if I have had that experience, do you expect me to say it in an interview? Do you get nude pictures on social media? I get a lot of that from ladies and it is fun, I must confess. There was a time in my life that I tried to get attention from ladies, but it was hard. It is a different story now and I am enjoying every bit of it. How have you been able to avoid scandals? I am decent in anything I do. I am a smooth operator. How does your girlfriend cope with the attention you get from the opposite sex? She understands the nature of my job but sometimes, she asks questions. I like to keep my relationship away from ...
