The British media establishment and the authorities are closing in on Spac Nation, a church accused of targeting vulnerable inner-city kids and forcing them to take out business loans which are used to fund the pastor’s pricy proclivities.
The organisation’s takedown has been powered by an anonymous source from within the church who has been spilling its secrets via a YouTube channel named The Exposer.
Last night, Pastor Tobi (above) and his followers watched their public image take another hit when the BBC launched a documentary detailing its questionable business practices…and how said practices have destroyed the lives of people who believe they were conned by the church.

Urban music has been making colossal waves on a global scale and the UK has emerged as one of its primary residences.
It’s fitting, then, that media giant TRACE has embraced this in earnest. For, the Olivier Laouchez led network has launched three new channels in the region. They are:
Trace Urban [SKY Channel 364]
Trace Vault [SKY Channel 365]
Trace Latina [SKY Channel 366]
Rather than approaching Urban in the monolithic way other entities have in the past, TRACE drive in a different direction by celebrating the rich diversity of the scene and its sounds.
To herald the arrival of the channels, the network held a super turnt up launch event in London at The Curtain in Shoreditch.
Boasting blazing performances from the likes of Lola Rae, other notable names in attendance included ‘Love Island’s Josh Denzel, DJ Ironik, Sabrina Washington, and more.

It’s been over a week since a Dallas court handed down a guilty verdict to former policewoman Amber Guyger after she was tried for the murder of her neighbor, an unarmed Black man named Botham Jean, but that certainly hasn’t slowed chatter around the case. Sentenced to 10 years in prison for the act, several aspects of the proceeding – including the length of her sentence (given the severity of the crime) – have been met with harsh criticism from legal analysts, celebrities, and more.
While the judge presiding over the case, the honorable Tammy Kemp, has been on a media blitz to justify her ‘inappropriate’ and ‘unethical’ courtroom behavior (click here to read more), other key players – including Jean’s family lawyer S. Lee Merritt – is fielding criticism on his clients’ behalf for the flack they’ve received for their courtroom actions (see: forgiving Guyger, etc.).
After catching wind of a disparaging Twitter comment from Grammy nominated rapper Nicki Minaj after the death of star witness Joshua Brown, Merritt took to Instagram (October 10) to not only clap back but also praise the femcee’s ‘more active’ musical counterparts for their role in the fight for justice.

After being branded “Mammy Tammy” by angry social media users, embattled Dallas judge Tammy Kemp continues to speak out against the ongoing backlash she’s enduring after exhibiting what many are deeming “inappropriate” and “unethical” behavior during the infamous Amber Guyger trial.
As we reported here, Kemp went on a media blitz earlier this week that saw her sit down with CNN, CBS, and a number of local news outlets to plead her case against critics who slammed her for hugging Guyger after the former policewoman was convicted of killing an innocent Black man.
Breaking down, the judge tearfully commented:
“Frankly, I don’t think I would getting this criticism if Miss Guyger were a Black woman. I hate that we limit our compassion to one race.”
Taking to today’s ‘Tamron Hall Show’ (October 10), Kemp not only broke down again while addressing the controversy and fears for her safety, but also echoed the sentiment of earlier interviews – even saying that ‘no one would refuse giving [Guyger] a hug’ under the circumstance.
