Bin Laden’s former main squeeze now feuding with rapper

An ex-lover of Osama bin Ladin’s – bearing the improbable, but somehow strangely appropriate, name of Kola Boof – is carrying on a bizarre war of words with a hip-hop yowler who goes by the handle of Wale.

To me, the most interesting thing in the linked piece is this citation from a magazine article that included quotes from a memoir Boof published back in 2006:

"I can't deny what a good-looking man he was," she wrote of bin Laden in Harper's. "Over six feet with a zesty salmon-orange complexion and very sexy Negro-like facial features, forged by generations of desert sun. I remember thinking he had the most beautiful lips and being overwhelmed by the largeness of his hand when he took mine (to kiss it). Osama's men laughed, and Osama's eyes kept falling on my cleavage."

No doubt he was torn between his awareness of the Koranic declaration that “modesty and chastity are parts of the faith”, and the jihard-on he got while ogling her indisputably fine hooters.
