Lauryn Hill Speaks Out on Relationship with Rohan Marley

Lauryn Hill gave birth to her sixth child, a son called “Baby Boy Marley,” over the weekend. There were various reports questioning the father’s identity. The former Fugees member took to Twitter to address the speculation and defend her right to privacy.

 Rohan Marley, the father of Hill’s five previous children, was rumored to have left the singer during her pregnancy for Brazilian model Isabeli Fontana. While some believed he was the father of the sixth child, his tweet suggested otherwise. “I’m forwarding all well wishes to Ms. Hill on the birth of her new son,” he tweeted. “I’m sure she’ll appreciate the love being sent to her RASTAFARI R.M.”

Ms. Hill blasted back at the reports. “Contrary to the numerous reports, Mr. Marley did not abandon me while pregnant with his child,” she wrote. “We have had long periods of separation over the years, but our 5 children together remain a joy to both of us.”

Amy Winehouse Laid To Rest At North London Funeral; Ex-Husband Banned From Attendance

Just three days after the shocking news of her tragic death, Amy Winehouse was peacefully put to rest today at Edgwarebury Cemetery in North London, where friends and family gathered to mourn the troubled singer’s passing.

Among those in attendance were prolific producer/DJ Mark Ronson and Kelly Osbourne. Also in attendance was Amy’s father, Mitch Winehouse, who wished his late daughter an endearing “Goodnight” and added “Sleep tight. Mommy and Daddy love you ever so much.”

Among those not in attendance was Winehouse’s ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who was denied release due to a 32-month prison sentence that he is currently serving.

As of now, Amy’s autopsy results are inconclusive.
