Usain Bolt's 'first lady' Kasi Bennett reacts to cheating controversy as Jamaican sprinter lands in London



Star's girlfriend of two years liked two posts on social media which referenced his Rio infidelity


Usain Bolt dances with twerking woman as long-term girlfriend is nowhere to be seen


It looks like Usain Bolt's antics may well have landed him in the dog house. The Olympic champion proved he was fast on and off the track after he was caught on camera enjoying the company of three different women during a weekend of partying in Rio and it looks like his girlfriend Kasi Bennett was not impressed.
Bolt made headlines after WhatsApp photos emerged online showing him in bed with 20-year-old Rio student named Jady Duarte, after the sports star's 30th birthday on Sunday (21 August.) The mother-of-two is the alleged widow of drug kingpin Douglas Donato Pereira, also known as Diná Terror.
In an interview with Extra, Duarte insisted that she was not behind the leak and that the her new-found fame is unwarranted. "It's very negative," she said: "I never wanted to be famous, I'm dying of shame."
Bennett made her thoughts on the controversy clear when she liked an Instagram meme which has a side-by-side image of her and Duarte with the caption: 'When you girl is Selfridges, and you cheat on her with Primark.'
The 24-year-old law graduate drove home her point by liking a tweet from a disappointed fan which read: "@usainbolt you traded your life with a #goddess @kasi__b for a one night fling with someone who will never even come close. I can't."

Meanwhile, the Olympic record holder flew in to London's Heathrow airport on Monday 22 August. Concerns as to his relationship status may be furthest from Bolt's mind, however, judging by comments made to The Telegraph on monogamy in July: 'Every culture is different. Jamaican culture is different, when you look at women and men having more than one... It's different. I've noticed that in Britain, every famous person, as soon as they get famous, they have to get married – like, it's a rule. And I'm like, that's not fair!'
Although no details have been revealed about his visit, it could be his upcoming re-match with Prince Harry.
On 22 August, the flame-haired royal reached out to Bolt to congratulate him on his success and suggested another head-to-head encounter on the track. You may recall that the duo previously raced in 2012 at the University of the West Indies, as part of the Diamond Jubilee Tour.
"Congratulations @usainbolt – now you're officially the greatest you might be ready for a re-run! Happy 30th –H,"Harruy said. To which Bolt tweeted back : "Let's do it. Respect for the birthday wishes,"

Frank Ocean new album: How to listen and stream Boys Don’t Cry when it drops

After two missed release dates a year apart and a confusing decoy of a “live stream” video, Frank Ocean is set to finally release his second album,  Boys Don’t Cry , on Friday 5 August. It will be launched through an exclusive deal with Apple Music, according to the  New York Times , who cite a ‘person with knowledge of the release plans’. If indeed this is the case (and it would make sense, that live stream has an Apple watermark), it means you’ll need to sign up for Apple Music to listen to the  Channel Orange  follow-up, which costs £9.99 a month (£4.99 for students through Apple’s UNiDAYS promotion). You might want to turn off auto-renewal off though (Apple Music app > profile icon > View Apple ID. > Subscriptions > Manage > switch Auto-Renewal off), if you’re the kind of person who, like me, is liable to forget that you’ve signed up for the service indefinitely. Beyond Apple Music...

Why My Chemical Romance's 'The Black Parade' Was The 'Sgt Pepper' Of The Emo Generation

Secret (or not so secret) noughties emos rejoice! Grab some black hair dye and vow to disown your parents all over again! Because  My Chemical Romance  look  set to reissue an expanded version of 'The Black Parade' , their third and most successful album, for its 10 year anniversary (yes, you really are  that  old).  The news last night, stoked by a  mysterious video  teased on the band's long-dormant Twitter page, was enough to rev some sections of the internet into a frenzy. But what's all the fuss about? Well, the album in question wasn't just the band's best, nor just most succinct album of its genre, it was one of the most important records of the last decade.  An  "ostentatious concept-album-cum-rock-opera about death" , as we described it upon its release, the record is a bombastic tour-de-force that took cues from Green Day's 'American Idiot' (both albums were recorded with the same producer) but sounded nothing like its...
