Kanye West snubbed wife Kim on the Met Gala red carpet?

I saw the photos and they looked happy but some keen observers say they detected friction between Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian on the 2015 Met Gala red carpet.

According to tell OK magazine
"At one point, when Kim reached for Kanye’s hand, he moved away to pose for photos! He also briefly left her on the red carpet to talk to another attendee while Kim continued to pose for the numerous photographers. As the couple headed inside, Kanye didn’t look like he wanted to pose with his wife, and photographers had to literally scream and beg him to turn back towards the cameras and face in the same direction as his curvy wife."

Aliko Dangote says he's keen on buying Arsenal football club

Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote says he is still interested in buying one of English premier league football teams, Arsenal. In an interview he did with Bloomberg while traveling in a private jet from Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa to Lagos on May 1, Dangote said he'll love to buy the club when the price is right ...
"I still hope, one day at the right price, that I’ll buy the team. I might buy it, not at a ridiculous price but a price that the owners won’t want to resist. I know my strategy.” he reportedly said
Dangote had signified interest in buying the football club in 2010 but the deal didn't come through as he and owners of the club couldn't come to an agreement. Arsenal Holdings Plc is valued at $1.49bn. Dangote is worth $15.7 billion, so he's capable!
