Ashley Madison: Who are the hackers behind the attack?

Ross Ulbricht


A lot of data has been released about Ashley Madison but some facts of the breach of the dating website's database remain stubbornly elusive, not least who are the hackers behind the attack?

They call themselves the Impact Team and seem to have formed solely to carry out the attack on the infidelity website. There is no evidence of the group stealing data elsewhere before it announced itself with the Ashley Madison attack on 15 July.

Comments made by Noel Biderman, chief executive of Avid Life Media, which owns Ashley Madison, soon after the hack became public suggested it knew the identity of at least one of the people involved.

"It was definitely a person here that was not an employee but certainly had touched our technical services," he told security blogger Brian Krebs.
Stronger skill set

Since then, little new information has been made public about the hack, leading some to assume that the information Avid had about a suspect would soon lead to an arrest.

But it did not, and now gigabytes of information have been released and no-one is any the wiser about who the hackers are, where they are located and why they attacked the site.

The group is technically pretty competent, according to independent security researcher The Grugq, who asked to remain anonymous.

"Ashley Madison seems to have been better protected than some of the other places that have been hit recently, so maybe the crew had a stronger skill set than normal," he told the BBC.

They have also shown that they are adept when it comes to sharing what they stole, said forensic security specialist Erik Cabetas in a detailed analysis of the data.


The data was leaked first via the Tor network because it is good at obscuring the location and identity of anyone using it. However, Mr Cabetas said the group had taken extra steps to ensure their dark web identities were not matched with their real-life identities.

The Impact Team dumped the data via a server that only gave out basic web and text data - leaving little forensic information to go on. In addition, the data files seem to have been pruned of extraneous information that could give a clue about who took them and how the hack was carried out.
Identifiable clues

The only potential lead that any investigator has is in the unique encryption key used to digitally sign the dumped files. Mr Cabetas said this was being employed to confirm the files were authentic and not fakes. But he said it could also be used to identify someone if they were ever caught.

But he warned that using Tor was not foolproof. High-profile hackers, including Ross Ulbricht, of Silk Road, have been caught because they inadvertently left identifiable information on Tor sites.

The Grugq has also warned about the dangers of neglecting operational security (known as opsec) and how extreme vigilance was needed to ensure no incriminating traces were left behind.

"Most opsec mistakes that hackers make are made early in their career," he said. "If they keep at it without changing their identifiers and handles (something that is harder for cybercriminals who need to maintain their reputation), then finding their mistakes is usually a matter of finding their earliest errors."

"I suspect they have a good chance of getting away because they haven't linked to any other identifiers. They've used Tor, and they've kept themselves pretty clean," he said. "There doesn't seem to be anything in their dumps or in their missives that would expose them."

The Grugq said it would need forensic data recovered from Ashley Madison around the time of the attack to track them down. But he said that if the attackers were skilled they might not have left much behind.

"If they go dark and never do anything again (related to the identities used for AM) then they will likely never be caught," he said.

Mr Cabetas agreed and said they would probably be unearthed only if they spilled information to someone outside the group.

"Nobody keeps something like this a secret. If the attackers tell anybody, they're likely going to get caught," he wrote.

I don’t see Olamide, Wizkid, others as threats – Lace

Wizkid, Tiwa, Olamide and P-square

Taiwo Agbohunsa popularly known as Lace, who said he looks up to Akon, Tuface and Wande Coal has just dropped a hot new single titled ‘Turn by Turn’

Lace, an artiste with Foxtrot records, has been in the industry for a while, but after a long hiatus, he is back, better and bigger. He has re-instated himself back into the industry by dropping a hot new single titled ‘Turn by Turn’. The new single is already enjoying massive airplay.

He feels that he has what it takes to succeed in the industry. According to the ‘Se bi wo’ crooner other established artists are not threats to him “Olamide, Wizkid and other established artistes are not threats. We are not in competition, we are colleagues but at the same time we task each other to become better.”

Speaking further, Lace says, “the desire to create something more than the usual is what motivates me. I want to make a difference in the music industry. I look up to people like Akon, Tuface, most especially Wande Coal, and all other artists who are doing good songs. Seeing what they have been able to achieve gives me the strength and the will to put more effort. I want to be a model of an impactful artist, someone who can be said to have given his all to music.” - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/08/i-dont-see-olamide-wizkid-others-as-threats-lace/#sthash.3ePGIIqI.dpuf

Kogi approves N276,769,400 for 2015 WAEC candidates in Kogi



Gov Idris Wada of Kogi State has approved the reimbursement of N276,769,400 to eligible candidates that sat for the 2014/2015 West African Examinations Council (WAEC) examinations in the state.

According to a statement issued by the Secretary of the WAEC Fees Refund Committee, Ibrahim Odoma, a total of 24,172 candidates were certified eligible to benefit from the funds released by the governor.

Mr. Odoma said a seven-man committee headed by Hajiya Maryam Ladi Ibrahim, had earlier screened the list of WAEC candidates from across public schools in the state with a view to ascertaining the actual number of eligible beneficiaries.

He said each beneficiary is to be refunded the sum of N11,450 which was the amount their parents had earlier paid for their registration.

It would be recalled that governor Wada had earlier promised to reimburse parents who paid for the 2014/2015 WAEC fees for their children and wards following the suspension of fees payments by government in order to ascertain the actual beneficiaries as well as amount involved.

The government was forced to suspend the payment last year following some alleged fraud leading to a demand of about N500million from government, which represented a huge difference against the figures paid in the previous years. The benefiting schools are now been issued bank draft to cover for students who are certified to have paid.

Parents and educationists across the state have continued to hail the decision of the government to redeem its promise to parents in the state through the refund of WAEC fees.

A foremost educationist, Chief Obaholo Kayode Osu said the governor’s action has helped to restore the confidence of Kogi people in his administration. He said the gesture of the Wada Administration will help to encourage parents to continue to enroll their children in school, having been assured of government’s support.

“What the governor has done will surely reinforce our advocacy for universal education as parents will be confident of enrolling their wards in schools with strong believe that the government will support their education.

This is a welcome development and we hope the governor will leverage on this popular decision by looking into the pension of retired teachers to encourage those in active service to continue to give their best. We are aware a lot of reforms are going on in that sector as we hope to start reaping the fruits of the reforms soon”, he said.

I left N10bn for my successor —Amaechi

Wike and Amaechi


PORT HARCOURT—Former Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi has said he left a balance of between eight to ten billion naira for his successor, Governor Nyesom Wike.

In a statement from his from his media office yesterday, the former governor denied that he handed over an empty treasury to his successor.

The statement by the former Governor’s media office, yesterday, revealed that a total of N7.5 billion cash was left behind as balances in the State Internally Generated Revenue, IGR, account with Skye Bank, FAAC account with Zenith Bank, balances with Access Bank and funds in the State reserve fund account in First Bank.

“This is besides other balances in the state Government House account with Zenith Bank and other government MDA accounts, like the Bureau for Public Procurement, BPP. By the time you pull all these together, we are looking at readily available cash in the region of eight to ten billion naira left for the Wike administration.”

“It’s also pertinent to point out here that former governor Amaechi also left economic assets worth tens of billions of naira for the state. Just like cash, the assets store value. These assets that are scattered in diverse sectors of the economy were developed or built or procured with revenue that accrued to the state during Amaechi’s tenure. The assets belong to Rivers State, not Amaechi. Some of these assets are presently yielding revenue to the state coffers, and many can be easily and readily converted to cash, if the State so desires.

“It is therefore disingenuous and fraudulent for Wike to claim that Amaechi left an empty treasury in his bid to justify the N30 billion loans he collected under 30 days in office. Rather than this puerile and silly distraction of always pointing accusing fingers at Amaechi, Wike should come out to explain to Rivers people what he took the loans for, account for and justify every kobo that has been spent from the loans”, the statement concluded.

But media aide to governor Nyesom Wike, Mr Opunabo Nko-Tariah, described the claim by the former governor as another tissue of lies, stressing that if he left what he claimed how come civil servants, pensioners , footballers, contractors were owed by his government.

He said even students on the state scholarship program overseas were almost sent out of the classroom over unpaid fees, adding that the issue was not all about empty treasury alone as properties in Government House, Port Harcourt were allegedly looted before the handover date of May 29..

Governor Wike had consistently maintained that he met a completely empty treasury when he took over as governor.

Only on Wednesday, while trying to justify why he took a total of N30 billion bank loans from Zenith and Access banks under 30 days in office, Wike had through his spokesman, Opunabo Inko-Tariah told a radio station in Port Harcourt that he met an empty treasury when he took over government.

However, Amaechi has openly put a lie to Wike’s claim, saying he left billions of naira in cash and economic assets for Rivers State.

Lagos APC blasts Bode George over call for Tinubu, Fashola probe

bode-george-fashola


lagos—The All Progressive Congress, APC, Lagos Chapter has berated Peoples Democratic Party,PDP chieftain, Chief Olabode George over his call to President Muhammadu Buhari to probe former governor of Lagos State Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his successor, Babatunde Fashola.

The party asked George to keep quiet for now and continue to lick the wounds inflicted on him by the defeat his party suffered at both the National and the state levels in the just concluded federal elections.

APC State Publicity Secretary, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, yesterday, said George like the Lagos PDP Chairman, Tunji Shelle was woken up from a chronic hallucination after suffering a devastating defeat in the hands of APC.

“Why is Bode George finding it difficult to believe that the game is over for him in Nigerian politics talk less of Lagos State? Who will tell Bode George that nobody takes him serious again in matters of Nigerian politics? Who will persuade Chief George to quit politics now in his own interest?

“Did he know that the President has full knowledge of his dubious activities in Lagos during the campaigns? Chief Bode George spoke about the cost of projects in Lagos, but the question is this: what does a hut builder know about Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge? What does this carpenter know about gold?” What does this failed politician know about good governance and service delivery?” Igbokwe stated.

Google ordered to remove 'right to be forgotten' links

Nine links will have to be removed from a Google search


Google has been ordered to remove nine links to news stories by the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) under the "right to be forgotten".

Details of a "minor criminal offence" were referenced in the stories regarding an individual, the ICO said.

Earlier links about the case had already been removed - but this act of removal itself later became news.

It is the links to those new articles, when searched for via the individual's name, which must now be removed.

In a statement, the ICO revealed that Google had refused to remove the links when asked by the complainant, which is why officials are now stepping in.

Being able to access the links by searching for the complainant by name constitutes a breach of the Data Protection Act, according to the ICO.

"Let's be clear. We understand that links being removed as a result of this court ruling is something that newspapers want to write about," said deputy commissioner David Smith.

"And we understand that people need to be able to find these stories through search engines like Google.

"But that does not need them to be revealed when searching on the original complainant's name."

The ICO says that Google must remove the links within 35 days of the order, dated 18 August.

Google has so far declined to comment.
Messy compromise

The situation was described as a "messy compromise" by Ian Walden, professor of information and communications law at Queen Mary, University of London.

"You can search under 'right to be forgotten', 'takedown', and you can look at the whole discussion about whether it's being taken down," he told the BBC, "but if you search the individual's name you should get a different set of search results."

Dr Walden added that as the complexity of removal requests grows, it's possible that search engines like Google may become less willing to challenge them.

"In five years' time perhaps Google will say, 'It's not worth the hassle, let's take down more stuff, let's not spend as much time evaluating the case,' - they obviously have to employ people for this," he said.

"My concern is it [will become] easier and easier to get stuff taken down when in fact there continues to be a balancing act that needs to be carried out," he said.

Mikel snubbed me in London – Oliseh


http://cdn2.vanguardngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/205x167xOlise.jpg.pagespeed.ic.--7K_qWIfA.jpg


Super Eagles Chief Coach, Sunday Oliseh yesterday explained why he left out Chelsea of England midfielder, John Mikel Obi from his list of players invited for the forthcoming 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Tanzania. Oliseh who revealed this at a media parley in Abuja said he made several phone calls including text messages to Obi’s number but he never responded to any.


The former international who reluctantly spoke about the issue of Obi revealed that he has no bias against anybody adding that under him, the national team will not favour or malign any Nigerian player.

“Well this issue is an enigma and we have been trying to understand it but I am in the dark personally, and with my assistants we spent time about 11 days in and around Europe talking to players, watching games. We contacted each of the players, call them up, call the clubs and eventually met with the players.

“I went to England on a Thursday and Chelsea was just coming back, we had fixed our visit to coincide with the end of their tour before they played Arsenal. I contacted Obi Mikel, called him on phone four times, the phone kept on ringing nobody picked it up, I sent him an SMS and got no response. But I called Victor Moses the phone rang three times and he picked it up and I spoke with him, told him to concentrate on his game.


After the game he came to my hotel and we met and I told him my plans for the national team. I left to Liverpool to meet the other player and I spent about six hours to go there and back but there was no response from Mikel until I returned here.

I think it was yesterday (Wednesday) that I saw a missed call, so at the moment I don’t know what the situation is. For me everybody is the same and will be treated the same.”

He also gave words of encouragement to the home based players by stating that any of them that proves his worth will be given the opportunity to play, if they were better than their foreign based compatriots.

Greece crisis: Syriza rebels form new Popular Unity party

Greek former Energy Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis attends a parliamentary session in Athens, Greece, early August 14, 2015.


Rebels from Greece's governing left-wing Syriza are to break away and form a new party.

Prime Minister and Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras stood down on Thursday, paving the way for new elections.

The move came after he lost the support of many of his own MPs in a vote on the country's new bailout with European creditors earlier this month.

Greek media reports say 25 rebel Syriza MPs will join the new party, called Laiki Enotita (Popular Unity).

The party will be led by former energy minister Panagiotis Lafazanis, who was strongly opposed to the bailout deal, reports say.

A list of MPs joining the party published by the Ta Nea newspaper showed that the parliamentary speaker Zoe Konstantopulou and former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis were not among its members.

Both had opposed a new bailout deal, with Ms Konstantopulou highly critical of her former ally Mr Tsipras.
'Eurozone dictatorship'

Syriza won 149 seats in Greece's 300-seat parliament in the last election in January.

The conservative New Democracy party came second, with 76 seats.

The new Popular Unity party becomes the third largest in parliament.

In exchange for a new €86bn ($95bn; £61bn) from European partners, Mr Tsipras had to agree to painful state sector cuts, including far-reaching pension reforms - and keep Greece in the eurozone.

Close to a third of Syriza's MPs abstained or voted against the terms of the new deal last week.

At the time, Mr Lafazanis said he was determined to "smash the eurozone dictatorship".
On Friday morning, the head of conservative New Democracy party, Vangelis Meimarakis, met with Greece's president and he will now be given three days to form a government.

Observers say he does not have enough support and elections will be called.

Reports suggest the election - the fifth in six years - will be called for 20 September.

If Mr Meimarakis fails to form a government, the chance will be given to the new party, analysts say, and then the far-right Golden Dawn party.

They, too, are unlikely to be able to gain enough allies to establish a government.

All parties can waive the right to negotiate and allow the president to approve a snap election.

Mr Meimarakis, however, has said he will try and use his mandate to form a government in the next few days.

Dimitris Stratoulis, one of the new members of Popular Unity, told Reuters that his party would also try to use the mandate and put a government together.

Mr Tsipras does not intend to enter Syriza into a new coalition before an election, Tovima newspaper reports (in Greek).

Maggie Kirkpatrick avoids jail time for child abuse

Australian star of TV show Prisoner, Maggie Kirkpatrick


Australian actress Maggie Kirkpatrick has avoided jail time after being found guilty of sexually abusing a teenage girl in 1984.

Kirkpatrick, 74, who starred in the Australian TV drama Prisoner Cell Block H, denied charges of gross indecency with a person under 16.

The court ruled on Thursday she had abused the 14-year-girl at her Melbourne home.

Kirkpatrick on Friday was sentenced to 100 hours of community service.

She will be placed on a sex offenders' registry for eight years and has to undergo a sex offenders program and rehabilitation assessment.

In sentencing, Melbourne Magistrate Peter Mealy said Kirkpatrick would have been jailed if the offences were not historical in nature, local media said.

In a statement read to the court on Thursday, the unnamed victim said she had organised a meeting with Kirkpatrick through a TV producer while she was a patient in a psychiatric hospital.

She said she had not reported the abuse until recently because she feared people would call her "crazy".

Kirkpatrick played a warden called Joan, nicknamed the Freak, in Prisoner, a popular series set in a women's prison.

Doctor Who Tried To Tell World About Yemen's War Pays Heavy Price

<span class='image-component__caption' itemprop="caption">A man stands behind a damaged window at the site of a car bomb attack next to a Shiite mosque in Sanaa, Yemen, on July 29, 2015.</span>

"If today they take Abdul Kader and we're quiet, tomorrow they may take me or someone else."


Abdul Kader al-Guneid managed to post one last tweet before he was dragged barefoot from his home in Yemen by plainclothes gunmen last week.

"Houthi militiamen are at my house," the 66-year-old doctor and human rights activist wrote on Wednesday afternoon. Then, his Twitter feed fell silent. His wife saw him being taken away by men she said she recognized as among the Houthi rebels controlling their hometown of Taiz. His family has not seen or heard from him since.

Al-Guneid's disappearance sent shivers through the small community of Yemeni activists trying to keep the outside world informed about the conflict raging in their country. "What happened to Abdul Kader freaked us all out," political analyst Hisham al-Omeisy told The WorldPost. "It sets a precedent that they take people who are just active on Twitter."



Al-Guneid is both a vocal critic of the Houthis and a tireless chronicler of the war. The day he was abducted began with his usual stream of Twitter posts. "Awaken by two blasts, that shook my house," he wrote that morning, referring to airstrikes from a Saudi-led campaign trying to oust the rebels and their allies. Like many others in Yemen, al-Guneid had stopped leaving his house unless absolutely necessary, his family said.

Many Yemenis live in fear of the relentless airstrikes and ground clashes that have claimed over 4,000 lives already. Severe fuel shortages make it nearly impossible to get around in any case. And al-Guneid had a particular cause for concern: the threatening phone calls and Facebook messages he had been receiving in recent months. So he was sitting at home, posting information about airstrikes, casualties and protests in his area, when the gunmen broke through his back door and took him away last week, according to his family.

"He was one of very few information sources in Taiz who wrote in Arabic and provided the English translation, which drew the attention of Western journalists and others," his 30-year-old daughter Nagwan al-Guneid, a graduate student living in Canada, told The WorldPost. "He believed in giving Taiz a voice through social media and international media outlets," she said.

Fetty Wap is the first rapper to chart his first four songs in the top 10 simultaneously.


Fetty Wap blew up relatively quickly with his singles "Trap Queen" and "My Way" and now the New Jersey rap singer has become one of the quickest musicians to make history as well.

According to Billboard, Fetty's newest single "Again" put him on the Billboard charts for the fourth time. He has now become the first artist in the 26-year history of the rap chart to have his first four entries in the top 10 appear simultaneously.

He is currently charting at No. 2 with “Trap Queen,” No. 3 with “My Way” featuring Monty and No. 5 with ”679,” featuring Remy Boyz. Only eight other acts have ever charted four songs concurrently but no one has ever done it with their first four out of the gate.

"Again" also began at the top of the Rap Digital Songs with 88,000 singles sold, which became Fetty Wap's second No. 1 following “My Way.” Read the full story here.

Woman Suing 2 Chainz For $5 Million Representing Herself

Woman Suing 2 Chainz For $5 Million Representing Herself

Christine Chisholm says “there’s no reason” why she shouldn’t win her case against 2 Chainz.


Christine Chisholm, the woman suing Atlanta, Georgia rapper 2 Chainz for $5 million over his “Thot” video, plans on representing herself in court. Chisholm shared the news while speaking exclusively with Charlotte, North Carolina news station WBTV.

The woman, who previously revealed that 2 Chainz associate Cap 1 invited her backstage, recalled being in “shock” upon finding out about the release of the video.

“Crazy,” Chisholm said when asked what her life’s been like following the release of the video. “I can’t go out in public…Before the video had even started I was in the back room and we were just eating chicken wings. Actually, until the end, I really didn’t even know if they were recording. And I didn’t know that he was gonna post it on the blogs. I was just in shock.”

Although Chisholm has chosen not to receive the assistance of any lawyers, she sees no reason why she should not win her case.

“I feel like if I’m just honest with everything that really happened then there’s no reason why I wouldn’t win,” she said. “If I could see 2 Chainz, I would just be like, ‘Where’s my money?’”
 

Dr. Dre's Assault Of Dee Barnes Was Originally Included In "Straight Outta Compton" Script

Dr. Dre's Assault Of Dee Barnes Was Originally Included In "Straight Outta Compton" Script

An early version of the script for "Straight Outta Compton" was 150 pages with a run-time of three and a half hours.


Dr. Dre's 1991 assault on Rap journalist Dee Barnes was included in an early edition of the movie script for Straight Outta Compton, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The scene reportedly depicted a drunk Dr. Dre approaching Barnes at a party and confronting her about Ice Cube's appearance on Pump It Up! where he disses Dre and N.W.A. She defends herself by saying her job as a journalist is to let Cube tell his story.

"The conversation escalates, Barnes throws her drink in Dre's face before he attacks her 'flinging her around like a rag-doll, while she screams, cries, begs for him to stop,'" the article reads, citing the script.

The Times says that director F. Gary Gray says the original script for the film was 150 pages with a run time of three and a half hours.

"There are so many things that you can add or subract," Gray says. "Cube always said, 'You can make five different N.W.A movies.' We made the one we wanted to make."

Barnes shared her thoughts on the movie, saying "I found myself a casualty of Straight Outta Compton's revisionist history." She says that Gray was the cameraman who filmed Cube's Pump It Up! interview.

Suge Knight's Lawyer: "He Will Be Vindicated"

Suge Knight's Lawyer: "He Will Be Vindicated"

Tom Mesereau responds to Suge Knight's portrayal in "Straight Outta Compton."


Suge Knight is one of the characters depicted in the N.W.A film Straight Outta Compton, which opened Friday (August 14) and brought in more than $60 million at the box office its opening weekend.

"I’m sure he wouldn’t like it because a lot of it is exaggerated and silly and ridiculous," Suge Knight's lawyer, Tom Mesereau, tells TheWrap.

In the movie, the former CEO of Death Row Records, played by R. Marcos Taylor, is shown assaulting a man because he took his parking space and also having his crew attack Eazy-E for not releasing Dr. Dre from his Ruthless Records contract, among other violent acts.

Mesereau says he hasn't seen the movie, but has been told of his client's depiction in the film. The lawyer says that Knight's contributions to the city of Compton, California have been overlooked in exchange for this vicious image.

"A lot of the media does not realize how many good things he did for people, particularly in his community,” Mesereau says. “He financed athletic facilities in schools. He gave money to the homeless, money to people in need. He tried to arrange truces on the streets so people weren’t killed....He funded funerals for families who were devastated by violence. He used to give a dinner every year for single moms in Compton to recognize their courage and their achievement. He’s a good person, and this will come out in due time."

Mesereau says that the January hit-and-run near the set of the film, which left Terry Carter dead and Cle "Bone" Sloan severely injured, is also misunderstood and believes Knight will be freed.

"The only comment I have on these facts was that he was ambushed, he was defending himself at all times and he will be vindicated," Mesereau says.

Ciara Addresses Future's "Double Standard"

Ciara Addresses Future's "Double Standard"

The singer says she reached out to Future to speak with Russell Wilson.


Ciara has received criticism from Future for letting their son interact with the singer's boyfriend, Russell Wilson.

Ciara appeared on CBS This Morning to tell her side of the story and address what she calls Future's "double standard."

"At one point in time when we were together, I took care of his kids as well at a very young time in our relationship," she says of the Atlanta rapper. "I was involved very early in the stage of us getting to know each other. That's been a big conversation. It's like, what's the difference here?"

She continues by asking public criticizers to ask themselves who the most important character in the ongoing narrative is.

"I think that even for the men that are outspoken, wouldn't you want someone to love on your child or love on the child that you're speaking about?" she says. "More than anything, it is a child we're talking about. That's the thing that I think people have to think about. It's like remove the adults from the situation. This is my child here and that's serious."

Ciara says that the most frustrating part of the whole situation is people who are quick to jump to conclusions without knowing all of the facts.

"I did reach out to my son's father for him and Russell to speak," she says. "He didn't want to talk to me. We didn't get to talk and so that was that. I don't know what more they would expect for me to do than to live my life."

The Cassper Nyovest–AKA beef took a nasty turn a couple of weeks ago when AKA slapped Cassper Nyovest in a club. Cassper didn’t respond physically; instead, he took to twitter to air his side of the story, which AKA initially denied, as expected, but eventually came clean. In this interview with Pulse TV while Cassper was in Lagos last week, the highly-rated rapper shed more light on the slap, and also had a little advice for AKA: “Shut up and make music!” Watch the clip below.
