Ray Rice's wife speaks following release of elevator video, defends him



This is the problem with some domestic violence victims. They stay with abusive men and worse still excuse their behavour. A day after a video showing how her husband punched, knocked her out and dragged her from an elevator was released, (read here) Janay Rice took to instagram to address the issue, defending her husband and calling out the media.

Her husband, former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, did not only lose his job after the video was released, there's a petition to ban him from the NFL and possibly arrest him.
Janay talks about how the release of the video has practically ruined their lives. 
I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I'm mourning the death of my closest friend. But to have to accept the fact that it's reality is a nightmare in itself. No one knows the pain that the media and unwanted options from the public has caused my family. To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing. To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass of for all his life just to gain ratings is horrific. This is our life! What don't you all get. If your intentions were to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happiness away, you've succeeded on so many levels. Just know we will continue to grow and show the world what real love is! Ravensnation we love you!"

OJB Jezreel talks about the car accident he had a few weeks ago

Some of you don't know this, but singer/producer OJB Jezreel was involved in a car accident a few weeks ago that left the friend riding with him in a hospital for three whole weeks

Speaking about it for the first time, OJB explains what happened to Encomium magazine
"I was coming from Abeokuta with a friend in his car. I think they didn't tighten the bolt of the tyre very well. By the time we were around Mowe, the tyre gave way and the car tumbled and the glass scattered. My friend was seriously injured. I was also injured but not as badly. After the accident, I couldn't walk very well. I was treated and a few weeks I had to walk around with a stick. I dropped the stick three days ago. I'm a lot better now.
The things that have been happening from the surgery to the accident, it is God. Some people would have died if they had gone through all that I have gone through but God has been gracious to me."
