Allegations abound

Being in the limelight is not always a bed of roses. If the roses in showbiz exist then they also prick with sharp thorns leaving permanent scars, although the scent remains irresistible. Some celebrities know too well the price of fame, writes CAROLINE NYANGA

In the past few months, local celebrities have been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Gospel singer Tony of MOG is the most recent celebrity to generate negative vibe. The musician is alleged to have had carnal knowledge of one Sheila, without her consent, and impregnating her in the process. To date it is not yet clear if they were in a relationship that went sour. Even more shocking is that the girl is said to be in possession of highly incriminating evidence to prove the gospel artiste slept with her, against her wish. "He stopped picking my calls the moment I told him I was pregnant. He has even blocked my number such that I am only able to send him texts messages," said the tearful girl.
