Eric Omondi Elicits Mixed Reactions for Latest Cross-Dressing Stunt
Eric Omondi got netizens buzzing after his latest cross-dressing stunt. In a now-viral chocolate ad, the comedian wore a red dress, applied makeup and was in heels, when he "magically transformed" after taking a chocolate bar. Varying reactions have been roaming the Twitter streets, with a section of users describing him as "seriously unfunny", whereas others embraced the skit for "surpassing marketing objectives". The video has since been pulled down.I love Eric Omondi. I love his hardwork. And his incomparable creativity. I look up to him when it comes to comedy and content creation.

Beyoncé Accused of Allegedly Copying the 'Spirit' Video Concept
Beyoncé is facing accusations of allegedly stealing visuals, for her "Spirit" music video. The accusations began after striking similarities between the video, and Congolese musician, Petite Noir's "La Maison Noir: The Gift and The Curse" 2018 visual album, were identified. The similar cues in both videos include both bright blue or orange clothing, and the same exact poses. Neither of the artists' reps has released a statement on the allegations yet.So your mama Beyoncé is about that plagiarism life huh??!! That's a shame, has all the resources in the world but still gotta copy other folks hard work and creativity? She should've just asked her sister and co. For help pic.twitter.com/Xy1Is5HqqF

As the recent Beyoncé-phoria from the The Gift began to die down, making way for commentary outside the Beyhive, talks of plagiarism related to the Spirit music video began to surface. https://t.co/KqGsC4Mexu
