England’s Smartest Family is Black:
We won’t hear about this in the news…..
England’s Smartest Family is Black
Meet the “First Family of Education” in England . They are black.

Peter and Paula Imafidon, 9-year-old twins from Waltham Forest in northeast London , are a part of the highest-achieving clan in the history of Great Britain education. The two youngest siblings are about to make British history as the youngest students to ever enter high school. They astounded veteran experts of academia when they became the youngest to ever pass the University of Cambridge ’s advanced mathematics exam. That’s on top of the fact they have set world records when they passed the A/AS-level math papers. Chris Imafidon, their father, said he’s not concerned about his youngest children’s ability to adapt to secondary school despite their tender age. “We’re delighted with the progress they have made,” he said. “Because they are twins they are always able to help and support each other.”
To Peter and Paula’s parents, this is nothing new. Chris Imafidon said he and his wife have been through this before: they have other super-gifted, overachieving children.
Peter and Paula’s sister, Anne-Marie, now 20, holds the world record as the youngest girl to pass the A-level computing, when she was just 13. She is now studying at arguably the most renowned medical school in the United States , Johns Hopkins University , in Baltimore .
Another sister, Christina, 17, is the youngest student to ever get accepted and study at an undergraduate institution at any British university at the tender age of 11.
And Samantha, now age 12, had passed two rigorous high school-level mathematics and statistics exams at the age of 6, something that her twin siblings, Peter and Paula, also did. 

Chris Imafidon migrated to London from Nigeria in West Africa over 30 years ago. And despite his children’s jaw-dropping, history-making academic achievements, he denies there is some “genius gene” in his family. Instead, he credits his children’s success to the Excellence in Education program for disadvantaged inner-city children.
“Every child is a genius,” he told British reporters.

“Once you identify the talent of a child and put them in the environment that will nurture that talent, then the sky is the limit. Look at Tiger Woods or the Williams sisters [Venus and Serena] — they were nurtured. You can never rule anything out with them. The competition between the two of them makes them excel in anything they do.”

Serena Angry Over Leaked Rap?

Serena Williams' little home-recorded rap has taken on quite the life of its own online. With rappers both praising and clowning the tennis star's first foray into music; no one had heard from Serena herself regarding the track.

Well, it looks like Williams never intended for the freestyle to be heard by the public--and she's not too happy about it being leaked.

"Well, I was in the studio with friends and I wanted to do something and so they said - do this and it was for me," she says. "The next thing I know -- that was one or two years ago and then I read online that I was a rapper and so my back-stabbing friends did that to me and so if I see them, I will act like a rapper -- if you can get my drift.

Rah Digga Clowns Serena's Rap

Serena Williams' freestyle rap has gotten a lot of attention online, but the superstar tennis pro had to know that there were going to be detractors. Emcee Rah Digga took a few pot shots at Serena--but didn't seem to have too much ill intent behind her lighthearted criticisms.

""I'm always on top...roofer" Serena Williams' new song...I mean...ok fine," she tweeted. "Yeah im so playin tennis now...and basketball...and whatever Amber Rose lists as her occupation..."

Serena just seemed to be having fun, as opposed to making a full-on dive into hip hop. Nonetheless, she had to know this was coming.

Game Cosigns MC Serena?

While the general public (and respected emcee Rah Digga) may have had a mixed reaction to tennis superstar Serena Williams' tossed-off freestyle last week, at least one hip hop notable voiced his support for the sexy athlete's foray into the world of music.

Rapper Game says that he's fully behind Serena's rhyming and told TMZ he expects more from her.

"You shouldn't expect her to come with anything less than the official rap bars," then added "I can see her doing big things."

We think Game is trying to be nice.

Even though that's not exactly what he's known for.

Serena Williams Is Rapping?

Tennis superstar Serena Williams has picked up a microphone. The athlete/businesswoman/fashionista has now added 'emcee' to her lengthy list of activities. An untitled track hit the Web today (May 11th) and features the champion rhyming. "I ball hard no tennis racket/I can't see these haters through my Gucci glasses/I make hits like batting practice--they be like Serena, is you really rapping?" she rhymes over the track. Wow. So that's how it works? After dating Drake and Common, S-Will had to go hard in the studio?

Drake Broke Serena's Heart?

Serena Williams is hurt.

Bad.

The tennis superstar opened up in a recent interview about her dating life and admitted that she's not a big fan of relationships right now. Without naming names, Serena said that her most recent relationship really did a number on her, and everyone is speculating that she's talking about none other than Drizzy Drake--who was rumored to be dating Williams briefly last year.

"I have given up on dating; It just hasn’t worked out well for me," she said. "I’m a really emotional person. I give my all and everything. I do make mistakes — like every human does — but the last relationship just was too much of a heartbreak for me. I just can’t go through that anymore. It was hard. I just have to remove myself from that atmosphere for about the next decade or so.I can’t get involved."

Serena Subtweeting About Drake?

Serena went on a strange Twitter rant that has fans buzzing that she may have been subtweeting rap superstar Drake. The two were rumored to have had a brief romantic fling over the summer, but reports began surfacing last week that Drizzy was now with model Dollicia Bryan. Judging from her tweets, Serena may not have taken that bit of news well.

"I tried. HARD." Serena tweeted. "I've been doing everything I can to bite my tongue, but...REALLY? Shocking."

"Like really, really?? Come on," she continued. "WTH."

"OK, [thanks] guys for listening to my hummmmms and ahhhhhhh," she finally concluded. "LOL"

But she still had to get in a little more. She posted "You suck" along with a sad picture of herself and followed that tweet up with, "I'm afraid to sleep...because I keep dreaming about you."

She then got a lil Mariah Carey in. "Even though I try I can't let go, something in your eyes captured my soul. Every night I see u in my dreams. Your all I know I can't let go."

Common Had Difficulty Recording

Rapper Common revealed that working on his new album The Dreamer/The Believer helped him get through a difficult period in his life. Common told KEPR CBS-19 in Chicago that he wasn't very inspired to make music, and reuniting with his longtime collaborator No I.D. helped spark his creativity.

"I hadn't figured out what I was going to do, what label I was going to work with," said Common. "[No I.D.] was willing to be like, `Yo, let's go! Let's get it. Let's go get on this hip-hop,"' he said. "So I think that meant a lot to me and from there we just continued to grow."

Since the release of his previous album, 2009s Universal Mind Control, Common switched labels and broke up with his longtime girlfriend, Serena Williams.

Drake Addresses Serena Rumors?

Rumors have been swirling around Young Money rapper Drake and tennis superstar Serena Williams for months. The two were spotted on a court together over the summer and Drizzy showed up to one of her matches. So is the voluptuous court queen (and former Common boo-thang) now dating the most sensitive guy in hip hop?

“I really, really love and care for Serena Williams," he says. "She’s incredible. That’s someone I’m proud to say I know. She’s definitely in my life and I’m in her life. It’s great to watch her play tennis. Very impressive.”

Good non-answer, Drake. Sounds like something is going on.

Serena Addresses Drake Rumors

Tennis superstar Serena Williams has been linked to rapper Drake for a little over a week now after the two were spotted getting 'friendly' on a court together. Williams was recently asked about the rumors surrounding the two of them and she gave a pretty standard--if somewhat irritated--response.

"Oh, man. Really?" she replied when asked about the dating gossip. "We're really close friends. Can't be too close to a friend nowadays, I guess."

Sarcasm noted, Serena.

Nappy Roots' B. Still Crushes On Taraji

B.Stille of the Nappy Roots shared his celebrity crush in a recent interview with Bossip. The rapper has a soft spot for a certain Oscar-nominated Washington, D.C. native who also sang the hook on a Three-Six-Mafia song. And he also likes a few other sexy starlets. "Taraji P. Henson, I want her to make me some tacos," B. said when asked if he had a celebrity crush. "If I had my choice, I’d do a mixture of a lot of different celebrities. Lauren London, Serena’s bottom half. I’m married too, but if I met Sade, I think I would get the pass."

Drake & Serena Dating?

Young Money rapper Drake may be getting his serve on with a certain big-bootied tennis superstar. The Toronto-born star has been spending time with Serena Williams on the court. But according to the rumor mill--they've been doing more than working on their backhand.

Drake tweeted to Serena last week, "I Can’t Wait To Put It On You And Make You Sweat… during our match this weekend.”

Drake was later spotted cheering for Serena as she competed for the 2011 Rogers Cup tournament in Toronto. Sounds like something's going on. Serenas already shown that she has a thing for light-skinned, nice-guy rappers.

Sup, Common...

Serena Williams Pursuing Rap Career?
