Drake has fueled romance rumors once again after he surprised Rihanna with a new style of congratulatory message.
The rapper purchased a billboard somewhere in Los Angeles to congratulate the songstress on her prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, which she will be receiving at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards.
“Congratulations to Rihanna from Drake and Everyone at OVO,” the billboard read.
It appears the signage caught RiRi’s attention as she responded to her rumored boyfriend’s gift on Friday. “When he extra,” the singer captioned a photo of the billboard along with heart and trophy emojis.

Sports / Olympian Sells Medal To Save 3-year-old Cancer Patient by xnaija: 6:15am On Aug 27, 2016


A Polish discus athlete, Piotr Malachowski, selflessly donated the silver medal he won at the Rio Olympics to save the life of a 3-year-old baby suffering from cancer.

Malachowski won his second silver medal in the discus throw, repeating his silver performance again after the 2012 olympics.
The infant named Olek is suffering from retinoblastoma, a cancer case that affects the eye which has affected him for the last two years, Storypick.com reports.



The patient’s mother wrote to Piotr for help and support and the Olympian readily accepted and decided to auction off his medal. He also appealed to people on his Facebook account to help him save Olek,
”If you help me, my silver medal may turn out to be more precious than gold for Olek”, he wrote
His efforts reportedly raised enough money for little Olek’s treatment and he said,
“My silver medal is worth a lot more than a week ago. It is worth the health of little Olek.”

Sports / Thierry Henry Becomes Belgium Assistant Coach by xnaija: 6:08am On Aug 27, 2016


Former France star Thierry Henry has been named as the new assistant coach of Belgium, the national coach,Roberto Martinez announced on Friday.
According to Sky Sports, in a statement released on the nation’s official Twitter account, executive sports director Chris Van Puyvelde announced the arrival of the former Arsenal icon, who will now work with former Wigan and Everton boss Martinez.
“Thierry is an important figure. He will bring something different. He agreed right away to join us,” said Martinez, who was appointed at the start of the month to succeed the sacked Marc Wilmots.
Henry had been working as coach of Arsenal’s under-18 side before leaving last month after Arsene Wenger told him he could continue in the role unless he quit his work as a TV pundit.
It is also believed that Wenger was unhappy with comments Henry made on Sky last season where he was one of the most persistent critics of the manager and claiming he had never seen the Arsenal fans so unhappy.
