Justin Bieber is said to have rejected a concert to the tune of $5 million while the Republican National Convention took place just minutes away, according to TMZ. The Singer, 22, declined after his manager Scooter Braun allegedly threatened to quit and NBA superstar LeBron James urged him to steer clear.

The Redeemed Christian Church of God's General-Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said that he will not seek vengeance against killers of a member of his church, Deaconess Olawale Elisha, who was gruesomely murdered while evangelizing in Kubwa, FCT. Daddy G.O, stated this on Friday during a Ministers’ Conference at the Redemption Camp, Kilometer 46, Lagos – Ibadan Expressway. The General-Overseer noted that since Elisha was on the divine mission to win souls for Jesus Christ, it would be unscriptural and anti-Christ to pray for the death or even seek to kill the same souls she sought to save. He said, “I’m not looking for vengeance. I won’t listen to people asking me to seek vengeance. I won’t pursue the case. That’ll be contrary to what she wanted. She wanted them saved, not killed. What will their killing do for me?," he questioned.
