Chris Brown finally accepting Baby, report says He planning to buy baby-proof house

Chris Brown is planning on buying a baby-proof house.

The 'Loyal' hitmaker - who is rumoured to have a nine-month-old child, Royalty, with 31-year-old Nia Amey - thinks his current bachelor pad is too dangerous for his baby daughter and wants to purchase something that is more ''conducive'' for bringing up a kid.

A source shared: ''[This] house isn't set up for a baby. There's marble everywhere, sharp corners and edges. It's not conducive for raising a baby.

''He wants to get out of the Valley now and move to a new house in the city where he's centrally located, with everything he and the baby would need at their fingertips.''

The 25-year-old singer is also believed to be considering moving after admitting his current home reminds him too much of his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran.

The source added to HollywoodLife.com: ''Chris doesn't really want to be there much longer anyways.

''With all Karrueche's stuff there, the memories he's made since he moved in, he's not really trying to bring his baby into that.''

The 26-year-old model appeared to confirm the baby news when she took to Twitter to reveal the couple had split for good so she could avoid any ''baby drama''.

She wrote: ''Listen. One can only take so much. The best of luck to Chris and his family. No baby drama for me.(sic)''

Chris Brown has yet to comment on the claims.

Dele Momodu's Letter to Nigeria First Lady, Patience Jonathan

Read Letter from Dele Momodu to First Lady ... Read Below:

Your Excellency please let me start by emphasising the fact that this is my very first letter to you since destiny elevated you and your husband to the highest positions in Nigeria. It may be the last before your tenure expires on May 29, 2015, and another begins with you or someone else in the saddle. Despite all the controversies engulfing you and your husband, I had resisted the temptation of writing you in the past for several, if not many, reasons. Kindly permit me to expatiate a bit.

I’m a great admirer of strong, confident and energetic women who cannot be bullied by the galaxy of male chauvinists that litter the political landscape of Africa. As someone who was brought up by my amazing mum, Omo Arotiwebiojo, an unlettered woman and petty trader, I knew what it took to survive in a particularly difficult terrain. Indeed, whilst some have impugned you for your so-called lack of command of the English language, I have remained partial to you because, like most of us, English is not your first language, and your contributions have enriched our home-grown lexicon! I can therefore imagine what you and our dear beloved President must have gone through together, in thunder, lightning, rain and sunshine. The hurly-burly of life must have thrown you hither and thither when there was no one else around to share in your secret pain and anguish. But it must have pleased God in His infinite mercy to raise you and your husband up, like Jesus did to a dead Lazarus, as original examples of uncommon transformation.

Seyi Shay Address Her Controversial Dress She Wore to Meet Mr President in Lagos

Seyi Shay finally addressed her critics following backlash from her controversial outifit at the 5000-youth event with President Goodluck Jonathan in Lagos last Saturday.

"I am a very respectable young lady and I was not in any way trying to seduce the President with the outfit I wore. I had two outfits for the event, one was for my performance and the other was worn after I performed. The dress I was pictured in with the President was what I wore during my performance. I came on stage and greeted everyone according to their culture and I did the same for Mr. President. He was impressed and he asked where and how I knew how to greet in his native dialect and I said I learnt it. That was what brought about the giggling and smiles in the picture. I’m a performer and what I do on stage doesn’t reflect my everyday life. I had two outfits on that day and it was a youth event. Who wouldn’t feel overwhelmed meeting the President? Well, I did and I felt honoured because it is not every day you get to meet the president of your country,” she told Punch.
