The Duke and Duchess of Sussex managed to pull off a secret honeymoon – in Africa!

A close source told E! News the newlyweds - who tied the knot at St. Georges Chapel on 19 May - travelled to East Africa and visited two countries, where they participated in various outdoor adventures and safaris.

"It was the perfect break and blend of their passions," the source said.
"Restorative and the perfect holiday before starting a very busy second half of 2018."
But the suspected honeymoon destination comes as no surprise. Harry and Meghan vacationed in a lodge in Zambia last year and the 36-year-old’s wedding ring was specially sourced from Botswana by the prince.
"We camped out with each other under the stars. She came and joined me for five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic," Prince Harry said in their first joint interview with BBC.
A few months before the wedding, the royal couple announced they’d be delaying their honeymoon to fulfill their royal duties, reports People.
"The couple will be going on honeymoon, but not straightaway," Kensington Palace spokesperson Jason Knauf said at the time.
"They will have their first engagement as a married couple in the week after the wedding."
Although it was previously reported the pair would be spending their honeymoon in Canada, an insider told Elle that the Duke and Duchess have always had a soft spot for Africa.
"The couple has been keen to explore other countries in Africa, and I’m certain we’ll see them do that on this honeymoon."

Rapper Jay-Z sued

He's accused of acting "with malice" by a producer who says he's owed 10 years of sales royalties from the platinum selling album.

Raynard Herbert - known as Rae Rae - claims he helped the rapper master the album and settle the distribution agreement for a payment of 1% of the profits.
Jay-Z
Jay-Z is being sued by a music producer who says the rapper owes him a decade of royalties from his 1996 debut album Reasonable Doubt.

The producer claims that while he began receiving royalty cheques in 1998, they stopped arriving in November 2008.
He said he contacted Jay-Z's representatives in May 2010 to chase down the cheques, but failed to receive a response.
He says the 48-year-old rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, acted "with malice and in conscious disregard" of his rights and is suing for breach of contract and unjust enrichment.
Mr Herbert is asking for both his alleged owed royalties as well as interest and damages.

Jaz-Z's record company - Roc-A-Fella Records - which he founded along with "Dame" Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke in 1995 - is also named in the suit.
The platinum selling album - which has sold millions of copies worldwide and is frequently ranked as one of the best rap albums of all time - is often viewed as Jay-Z's best work.
In May the star was in court to defend his clothing brand - Rocawear - during an investigation into whether his line violated security laws.

Russian lawmaker warns against sex with foreigners during World Cup

The World Cup being hosted by Russia is fraught with controversy of all kinds.
One Russian lawmaker figured adding a little more on top on the eve of the action wouldn’t hurt.

Russian lawmaker says no to sex with World cup visitors

Tamara Pletnyova, head of the lower house of parliament’s Family, Women and Children Committee, warned Russians against having sex with foreign visitors during a radio appearance on Wednesday. More specifically, she warned Russian woman against getting pregnant by visitors, hearkening back to the 1980 Moscow Olympics. 
“There will be girls who meet men, and then they will give birth,” Pletnyova said via translation. “Maybe they will get married, maybe they won’t. But the kids will suffer, just like they suffered [after the Moscow Olympics].”
“It’s the children who suffer and have suffered since the Soviet era.” 

If you do have sex, don’t mix races

But Pletnyova wasn’t done with simply advising residents against trysts with visitors and the perils of being a single mother or a child born out of wedlock.
She clarified that if you’re going to have sex with a foreigner, just make sure that partner is white.
“If it’s another race, then it’s even worse,” Pletnyova said. “We should give birth to our own children.”
“I’m not a nationalist, but nonetheless,” she added. 
OK.
