Akon set to launch World-class Artificial intelligence and Blockchain Education hub in Kenya


Reports have it that, Senegalese-American singer, record producer and philanthropist, Aliaume  Badara Thiam popularly known as Akon is set to launch an ultra-modern Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain education hub in Kenya.

The project themed the “Kenyan Opportunity Hub” (KOH), which is an investment instituted with a collaboration between his Blockchain initiative AKOIN and a Dutch-owned Effect Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to provide employment opportunities for as many Kenyans as possible.

The said project which is scheduled to commence in September this year will
equip Kenyans and all other interested parties with due knowledge in Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain, which are requisites for the current technological world order.

The project is a direct replica of the AI initiative launched in Rustavi, Georgia. The Kenyan Opportunity Hub will be modeled to benefit from this already existing establishment.

This is not Akon’s first project in Africa. The musician has since been on record for the numerous works he has been doing on the continent. Akon is currently building a futuristic City in his homeland Senegal which is already in progress. Aside this, he has received global plaudits for his initiative that provided electricity to millions of homes in Africa.

With the rate of stress suffered by the Kenyan economy due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we hope the establishment of this world-class investment greatly benefits the country by boosting its economy

I agree our relationship was an entanglement' - August Alsina reacts to Jada and Will Smith's viral Red Table talk interview

                             

Singer, August Alsina has finally reacted to Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith's viral 'Red Table talk' interview last week where Jada admitted she had a relationship with August when she and her husband Will Smith had separated.





The word "entanglement" went viral as Jada repeatedly used it to define what was going on between them, as Will pushed for her to be more specific. She confirmed it was a relationship, one that happened while she and Will were on a break and on the brink of divorce.



Alsina was the one who first made the relationship public by speaking about it with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club and then when his claims made headlines, the Smiths decided to address them head-on.





While August claims he hasn't watched the complete episode, he has now reacted to Jada calling their relationship an "entanglement."

In a new interview with Vulture, Alsina said;

"I don’t know why that word is such an issue. I would agree,"
"If you look up the definition of 'entanglement,' it is a complex and difficult relationship. It was exactly that. I think it's just the language that probably stuck out to people. But I definitely have to agree with it being an entanglement. It definitely was something complicated, a complicated dynamic."

He explained he spoke out in the first place because "a lot of chatter" about the situation was already out there and he was starting to get a reputation as "this problematic guy who was super reckless, like I'm pushing up on someone's wife."

"I didn't really like that. I didn't like the sound of that, especially when it wasn't the truth," he continued, saying that the perception also "started to f--k with my partnerships and business relationships and money."

"I didn't like how that started to tamper with my life and finances," he added. "I felt it necessary to get it out off of my spirit and clear the air."

Alsina says he doesn't "have an issue with anybody." now the story is out in the public space.
He added, "I love everybody. I love all of them. They've been my family, and there's a lot of history there."

He also revealed he didn't have regrets about the relationship because of what he learned about himself through it.

"[It] helped me to operate and access my higher self," he said. "I don't regret it at all because I know that on this planet, there is not much harmony, and there is not much love, so when you’re actually given love, real love that you’ve never experienced, it is a gift."

During Biel's first pregnancy back in 2015, the two were very active on social media most of the time, publicly speaking on it as well. The two are still active on social media, but Timberlake hasn't posted any recent pictures of him with his wife at all.



The birth of the couple's new son comes just eight months after Timberlake was caught getting handsy with his co-star Alisha Wainwright, 31, during a night out in New Orleans, Louisiana.



Photos from their night out show Wainwright touching Timberlake's knee before he was snapped taking hold of her hand.



Onlookers told the Sun Timberlake, who was not wearing his wedding ring, appeared to have been drinking heavily.



Two weeks later, Timberlake apologized to Biel publicly via Instagram and admitted to drinking too much on the night in question.

Kanye West to hold his first presidential campaign event in South Carolina today?

Kanye West is reportedly holding his first presidential campaign event in South Carolina on Sunday, July 19, at 5 p.m



The event will be held at the Exquis Event Center in North Charleston and is "for registered guests only."

According to a statement sighted by ABC News, all attendees will be asked to sign a COVID-19 liability release form, social distance, and wear a mask. West will also be holding a pre-rally press event.



Earlier in the day, the Billionaire rapper, 43, tweeted to urge his fans to sign up as he is looking to acquire signatures to get on the ballot in South Carolina.

He wrote: "Hi guys please sign up to put me on the ballot in South Carolina at any of these locations," he wrote, sharing a list of locations. "You can also sign up at the website kanye2020.country."

It's unclear how West would qualify to get on the ballot in South Carolina as the deadline to file signatures as an independent candidate was July 15. He has also missed the deadline to qualify for the ballot in several states.



Last week, West filed the necessary paperwork and paid the $35,000 filing to register as an independent candidate in Oklahoma, where the deadline had not yet passed.
