PH singer claims she got paid N31m for semi-nude magazine shoot



We’re not believing a word of it but that’s what she’s claiming!
Her name is Adokiye Kyrian Yvonne and until now she was relatively a nobody.
She had however released a few singles in August 2012, one of which featured popular rapper Olamide. We listened to the song, it was horrible at best.
Rivers-born Adokiye is claiming she got paid $200,000 and was also given a Mercedes Benz G Wagon for this raunchy photo spread which has been featured in a New York magazine.
She however fails to divulge further details like the name of the magazine, where and when the photoshoot took place, only leading to the speculation that it is another desperate PR stunt.
Think of it as a brilliant idea or lame, Adokiye is getting her 60 seconds of fame right now as the photos have gone viral already.
Well done dear…

Finally, Venus and Serena Williams Land in Lagos

History was made again in Lagos on Tuesday as one of the Williams’ sisters and tennis icon, Venus Williams, finally arrived in Lagos, as widely reported in the local and international media. 
Venus, the older of the two world's renowned tennis icons, arrived in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital about 3:35pm, aboard a Delta Airline flight. She was welcomed to the hands of officials of Connect Marketing Services Ltd and scores of journalists, who had waited anxiously outside of the arrival lounge of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja.

Her sister, Serena, who has just clinched the WTA title which just ended in Istanbul, Turkey, arrived in Lagos at 9pm local time, on Tuesday.
From the airport, Venus was led straight to a waiting convoy of vehicles and driven to Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island where another group of Journalists had also assembled to receive the tennis queen.
Looking visibly excited about her coming to Lagos, she was accompanied by her managers, who however, did not allow her to entertain any questions from the journalists saying, Venus and Serena will speak to the media elaborately on the purpose of their visit during a Media Conference scheduled to hold on Wednesday 31, October 2012 in Lagos. 
Both Serena and Venus Williams are in Lagos as part of the Nigerian leg of a planned tour of two African countries, namely Nigeria and South Africa.
They are here on the platform of Breaking The Mould (BTM) campaign, a women's empowerment programme put together by Octagon and its West Africa affiliate, Connect Marketing Services Ltd.
While in Lagos, they will participate in a number of supporting initiatives such as a tennis clinic, school visit, exhibition match and gala dinner among others.
Through these initiatives, they will be motivating, inspiring and mentoring diverse audiences in particular women and young persons as well as other categories of people to be the best they can be, regardless of obstacles on their way.
Serena and Venus Williams are considered fit as “Mould Breakers” as the story of their lives exemplifies how determination, passion, hard work and self-belief can turn dreams into reality, despite obstacles.

Heavily pregnant Mercy Johnson still shooting movies

 
Mercy Johnson is about seven months pregnant but that hasn't slowed her down one bit as she's said to be moving from one movie location to another. What movie producers and marketers now do is write scripts that suit her condition - that of a pregnant woman.
She recently finished shooting a movie in Delta state and has embarked on another one titled Baby Oku in America which I hear some parts will be shot in the US while she's there to give birth

K-Solo rejects wife’s new baby, to marry strange lover

K-Solo and his new lover Bimbo
You’ve probably heard about the drama circling Nigerian music producer cum singer Solomon Oyeniyi aka K-Solo, and his now estranged wife Kikelomo. If you haven’t, let’s give you a recap.
In June 2012, Kikelomo granted City People Magazine an interview revealing details of her turbulent relationship with K-Solo.
According to her, the producer had been abusing her since they got married in November 2011. The couple met on Facebook in April 2011, but she says the relationship had always been plagued with lies and infidelity. Despite all this, Kike says when K Solo came begging, she forgave him and they eventually got married.
But the case worsened, Kike says, as K Solo showed his ugly side again, asking her to make him a signatory to her company’s account and to sign over all her property to him. He also continued to physically abuse her, causing her to miscarry. The marriage finally crashed in February 2012, but not before Kike published photos of bruised face, allegedly taken while she was with K-Solo.
Shockingly, the couple reunited in August, granting Channels TV an interview where they claimed to have been ‘just having fun’, pulling a simple prank ‘to know who their real friends were.’ Critics took the revelation with a pinch of salt, with people commenting that Kike must have been put under duress to deny the battery. ‘She was worried about her baby, that’s what she cares for right now’, a source who knows the couple told us.
Back to the present – Dust has been raised once again as just last week, K-Solo posted pictures of himself and another woman on his Facebook account, claiming to be engaged to her. He has deleted old photos of himself and Kike, replacing them with photos of him and his new lover, Bimbo, in each other’s arms.
So what’s happened to Kike and her baby? K-Solo has refused to divulge any information, telling us ‘When it’s time, you will all know the truth and the truth shall set you free. But for now hang on Google’.
Meanwhile, reports say on Friday, October 26, Kikelomo delivered her first child, a baby boy. K-Solo has received congratulatory messages from fans on social networks, Facebook and Twitter but is not responding to them. Instead, he has released a statement, warning websites and blogs not to refer to the ‘deliverer of the baby as K-Solo’s wife.’
The statement reads; ‘We as K-Solo’s Management think it’s should be official and professional for all media blogs and sites to confirm informations of our client tagged name K-SOLO before publishing. The baby deliverer has a name, and not to be tagged as K-Solo’s Wife in any sort of claims or otherwise. If there is any news of such, pictures of K-Solo and the Baby will be officially released and will be delivered rightly. So for any further readdressing, please do not Tag K-Solo in sure news till further notice. Thanks. K-Solo’s Management.’
It’s like a soap opera with no sign of it ending any time soon.

K-Solo says he knows nothing about Kike’s newly born baby boy…

KWAM 1′s kids launch music careers

M Marshall, Honey B, Sultan Marshall
Like father, like son…and daughter; legendary Fuji singer K1 the Ultimate’s music career has not just affected one or two, but three of his children, who are all following in their father’s footsteps.
All three children – Musty, Sultan and Zainab have been living outside Nigeria; Musty lives in Canada, Sultan in Chicago and Zainab aka Honey B in the UK. They all released their debut singles this year.
In June 2012, Musty dropped his pop-themed single ‘Dance.’ A student at York University, Toronto, he plans on releasing his second album ‘The King’s Legacy’ after his first release ‘Fine Works of Spring.’
Sultan dropped his own debut single ‘Talazo reloaded’ with his father K1. The fast track club sound is a remix of his father’s song ‘Talazo’ and was released in August 2012. Sultan plans on returning to Nigeria to fully pursue a career in music.
Meanwhile, after graduating from The BRIT School of Performing Arts in Croydon, London, where she studied music, Zainab, better known as Honey B says she’s ready to take on the world. Already, she has debuted her first single, also employing the services of Daddy. The upbeat song titled ‘Sempe’ was produced D’Tunes (Kukere – Iyanya).
And if they are feeling any pressure filling the very big shoes of their father, Honey B says for herself;
No, not really, because everything I do is from the heart and I believe God is in control. It is pretty cool having my daddy being so successful because I have the best and trusted adviser with real hard earned experience.’
K1 isn’t the first, or only Nigerian whose children are trying to emulate him; here is a list of other Nigerian musicians whose children have followed in their footsteps.

Psquare open up – ‘We have no hand in our mom’s death’

Popular musicians Paul and Peter Okoye, aka Psquare have broken their silence on their alleged involvement in the death of their mother.
On Thursday, July 12, 2012, the world received the sad news of the death of Mrs Josephine Okoye. She was reported to have died after an unsuccessful heart surgery in an Indian hospital in Kolkata. NET gathered that the supportive mother, who had been a pillar of support to her children, had been ill for a while, as her last public appearance was the Psquare Invasion concert in August 2011. She took ill shortly after and was diagnosed with a severe case of diabetes. Although initially admitted at the St. Nicholas hospital in Lagos, she was eventually flown abroad after her case deteriorated.
Mrs. Okoye passed away after over 5 hours of heart surgery, according to Psquare’s older brother, Jude Okoye, ‘You know that she was a prayer warrior, so I don’t need to tell you how she stood by us spiritually. Besides, she was the only one that believed in us when we decided to make a career out of music. I can remember that she used to sneak us out at night then to attend shows without the consent of our father who insisted that we must quit music to face our education’ he added.
Sympathizers, included friends, colleagues and fans thronged the artistes’ Omole residence to sign the condolence register and commiserate with the brothers.
While the Okoye family where busy making arrangements to give their beloved mother a proper and befitting burial in their home town in Anambra State, rumours broke out alleging that the brothers were members of the Illuminati Cult and had sacrificed their mom for fame and wealth.The rumour mongers were quick to come up with various theories to back up their allegations, a few of them including their riches and fame, joining Akon’s Konvict Music and featuring popular American rapper Rick Ross in one of their songs, among many other stories.
The absence of many friends and colleagues in the music industry at the Burial also fueled the rumours, as many claimed many of the artistes were afraid of being attached to the alleged Illuminati caucus. The Illuminati is alleged to be a conspiratorial organization, which is alleged to mastermind events and control world affairs through governments and corporations to establish a New World Order, they most common sign is that of a pyramid (The triangle shape).
 While this was shocking to the Okoye’s, who were still in mourning, they remained silent.
However, in a recent interview with the Punch, while answering various questions on their career success and achievements so far, they were asked about their mom’s death and the allegations, read excerpts from the interview:
How do you feel about your mum’ s death?
We feel so bad to know that our mum is no more. But who are we to question the Almighty God. Traditionally, we are supposed to bury her and not the other way round. It is just that it happened so soon.. Indeed, her death was a big blow to us.
It was rumoured that you people knew what happened to her?
Then, it is too bad to hear that people are accusing us of being responsible for our mum’s death. We are not blaming anybody. People are free to say what they want to say. We begin to wonder whether  there is anything that will ever make us to go for the life of our beloved mother.
Her life cannot be quantified in terms of money or fame. So, our answer to this question is that we have no hand in our mum’s death. We only blame the death that snatched her away from us if not so, people won’t be pointing accusing fingers at us. She died after a brief illness.
Aside [from] your mum’s death, there was another rumour that you guys have joined Illuminati?
We are short of words. Why would anybody say such things about us? Well, the fact remains that we do not belong to any secret cult, whether Illuminati or anything you call it. We owe our achievements and everything that is happening to us to Almighty God.
In recent times, many Nigerian artistes with international relations or ties, whose success and rise to stardom appears fast, are quickly accused of being members of the devilish Illuminati cult such artistes include the likes of, D’banj, Wizkid and even the late Dagrin. While many still claim, it’s all a farce others are quick to accept signs and tattoos done by the suspected members as proof.

AfroBeat Legend Femi Kuti To Join Nigerian Idol Season 3 As Judge

Grammy Nominee- Femi Kuti


There’s a new face on board the Nigerian Idol show and he is none other than Afrobeat legend, Femi Kuti. Most of us would like to see Femi Kuti on Nigerian Idols to lend his experience and musical expertise to the show. Femi Kuti, who is rather conservative will be bringing his wealth of experience that has over the years earned him  several international awards and three Grammy award nominations.
In his words, “ I am honoured to be part of Nigerian Idol, a show that discovers talents across the country in music. Saying I love music is like saying snow is white. I’d like to be part of moulding many more talents with Nigerian Idol, this year.”
We are eager to see the new twists and turns that the Afrobeat legend would bring to the show.

This season’s prize is valued at $100,000 and the elements are thus; N7.5 million cash, a recording contract and an SUV.

IS THE BEEF OVER



According to tweets  and retweets from both artists Davido and Wizkid, it seems like the brawl is finally over. The tweet in question was made by a certain @NotYourBasic, and he mentioned a collaboration from the two artists. Davido responded affirmative when he said:
@iam_Davido: We will def.
The same tweet by Davido and NotYourBasic was then retweeted by Wizkid @wizkidayo. If indeed there was a fight, then I suppose they wouldn’t be so chummy on twitter. Guess we should wait on the supposed track to see how well these two talented musicians can work together.

D'BANJ SIGNS NEW PRODUCER

dbanj signs @feardeevee

This is the second producer the Koko master has signed on, the first being J-Sleek.
Who do we tell congratulations: the new producer or D’banj???

Davido Wanted For Assault, As Police AIG Issues Arrest Warrant!… Singer denies report!

Davido wanted for assault


What looked like a forgotten issue is back and now it looks more serious than it ever was, as we gather that the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) has issued a warrant for the arrest of popular singer and rave of the moment Davido.
This is coming after it seemed the dust had settled on the assault charge brought against Davido a few weeks ago, by a taxi cab driver, Femi Ajibola, alleging he was beaten up by Davido and his car seized also. The incident was said to have occurred when the driver took Davido’s girlfriend who goes by the name Susan and her friends to visit the singer in his home, there was a altercation between Davido and Susan his girlfriend, the driver was said to have been concerned for the girl and intervened this he alleged angered Davido, which resulted to  his (Femi) being beaten up.
The matter was said to have been reported at the Bar beach police station, but all efforts to get Davido to report his side of the story has been unsuccessful, due to some power play by the rich kid’s family. We gather from Punch Newspapers that the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) has ordered the immediate arrest of Davido.
Davido however denies this report in a statement released by his management, who claim that Davido is only being blackmailed and nothing of the incident involved the singer:

I want to assure all my beloved fans and friends that, I am not wanted by the police and no officer in the Nigerian police gave an order for my arrest. I went to the police some weeks ago to give a statement and cleared my name. I did not beat up any taxi driver and the lady that hired the taxi driver and all those that are involved in this matter have made statements to the police and none of them mentioned my name except the taxi driver who claims that a large sum of money was missing in his taxi, in fact the lady in question stated that she was not beaten by anyone and that nobody assaulted the taxi driver. This is a case of blackmail, and I have resolved not to succumb to any blackmail for money. And to all those that are involved in this conspiracy to bring me down, I want to remind you that God Almighty himself got me to where I am today in my music career and you will not succeed in your devilish efforts to bring me down.

Adedeji David Adeleke, aka Davido
Davido is presently in the US for some video shoots, many describing his timely absence as a ploy to evade the said arrest. As the matter stands we can only await his return to the country and see what action the police takes.

DR. SID SPEAKS


Dr SID says the other person engaged in the conversation was pop star Davido…
Dr SID has spoken.
Apparently confirming the authenticity of the leaked conversation, he asked this newspaper to ‘upload the full conversation’ while informing us that it was Davido, not Wande Coal he had that particular discussion with.
SID took to Twitter last night, to clarify that it was  NOT Wande Coal’s voice but pop singer Davido‘s that was in the leaked recording.
@theNetng before I respond to ur post please upload the full convo and for the record the person u call wande coal is actually @iam_davido‘, @IamDrSID wrote on his Twitter page.
It is now being rumoured that the leak was orchestrated by former Mo’Hits hype man Edward Chukuma-Jiah better known as Special Ed who may have been present when Dr SID was arguing with Davido. We could not immediately confirm this.
The motive? Special Ed along with Davido have since parted ways with the MAVIN crew after issues came up over trying to score a Wande Coal collaboration on his debut album ‘Omo Baba Olowo: The Genesis‘. Special Ed is seen with Davido and the HKN crew – in his videos and several locations, and he still works the stage with D’banj.
A few minutes after NET broke the story, Special Ed tweeted ‘U know say! @ d end of the day I will alwaiz b ah bad man!!!!‘ Davido immediately retweeted him.
We are yet to receive any response from Davido’s camp as our E-mails have not been replied at the time of this report.

MI SAVES ACCIDENT VICTIMS


 R) M.I, (L) the wrecked Toyota Camry
During the early hours of Saturday, October 13, 2012, Chocolate City rapper, M.I came across a gruesome accident along Ikorodu road, Lagos, involving four people, and called for help via social media.
The rapper tweeted, ‘I’m presently at the scene of a serious accident…We have been here for almost an hour.. And no rescue service!!! Any one that can help. Opposite Obanikoro estate on Ikorodu road. One passenger looks like they are still alive and can make it.. But we need towing trucks and jaws of life to save him… Pls help. At least 3 girls dead, the driver still alive’.
The rapper, who was still there when the emergency services arrived, saw them pull out one of the passengers “One girl has been removed from the car and is dead… Pretty young girl.. My God…” 
At about 4 a.m, when NET got to the site of the incident, the rapper and his team had left, and the victims had been taken away but a few people were gathered near the scene, watching officials of the Lagos State Transport Monitoring Agency (LASTMA) clear the debris and tow the damaged car, a white Toyota Camry with plate number, TF787KJA, away from the road.
Although no one could say for sure what the cause of the accident of the accident was, a few of the onlookers who spoke to us on the grounds of anonymity, assumed it was a case of either over speeding, drink-driving or both, as they suspect the victims could have been coming from a club.
One onlooker, a man in his late forties said ‘I’m sad and speechless, look at the damage. The way these youths ride cars these days, one just has to be prayerful. They speed so much…I pity these ones o, it’s such a loss’. As the conversations and speculation continued on the sidelines, the LASTMA officials busied themselves with removing the street light which fell on the car and hindered the flow of traffic.
Meanwhile, one of the officials confirmed to us that the accident was indeed ghastly, with only two survivors out of the four passengers. He added that they were all taken to the Lagos State Accident and Emergency Centre. A doctor in the hospital, speaking anonymously, claimed that only one victim was admitted and has been responding to treatment.
M.I and his team were returning from Club Octopus, the venue of the Hennessy Artistry event, where he performed alongside Naeto C.
Reports from his team reveal that although the artiste found the sight shocking, he is presently at home, and in good condition.
However, he had a few words for drivers, which he shared on twitter: ‘Pls, people drive safely home, buckle up for safety and do not drink and drive. Also don’t let your drunk friends drive.’

DR.SID AND DAVIDO CONVERSATION


D’banj and Dr SID at a press conference announcing their signing with Kanye West, June 2011
2012 has been a very busy year for the entertainment industry in Nigeria.
There’s been a lot of power play, signings, international collaborations and much more, but the famed Mo’hits Records break up is, without a doubt, the height of everything that has happened in Nigerian entertainment this year.
With a series of stories and scandals about former label mates D’banj and Don Jazzy parting ways, to more stories on the true and actual nature of their split, to the formation of individual labels, it was, to say the least, not a pleasant scenario.
But when will all this drama end? Not yet, it seems; another episode is unfolding, as Sidney ‘Dr SID’ Esiri, former Mo’Hits act, and now a MAVIN Records artiste, can’t seem to get over the brouhaha.
Dr SID plays the lead star in this episode; a recorded audio piece which leaked exclusively to NET, has thrown him into the spotlight for the wrong reasons, hinting at him being a very strong reason behind the Mo’Hits breakup.
The ‘Over the moon’ singer, in a conversation with pop star Davido, is heard chastising his former label boss D’banj for outshining him and every other member of the crew.
In a heated and raised voice SID says ‘Why don’t they know my name? Because your brand and star is too much it is overshadowing.’
Davido is heard arguing back and forth with Dr SID, explaining that it was D’banj that actually brought them to the limelight. ‘Guuuy, it’s not that, D’banj can help anybody…If not for D’banj nobody would have looked at Wande, guy I dey lie? Men, I don’t know’ Davido says.
But SID, obviously not convinced, yells ‘Batman and Robin, who them dey call? Na D’banj na. D’banj did more negative than positive for my career.’
SID confirmed the conversation actually took place with Davido, correcting NET’s earlier report stating it was Wande Coal he was talking to. He also demanded that NET post the full audio recording.
@theNetng before I respond to ur post please upload the full convo and for the record the person u call wande coal is actually @iam_davido’, @IamDrSID wrote on his Twitter page on Saturday night, shortly after we broke the news on our website www.thenetng.com.
A graduate of Dentistry from the University of Ibadan, the 32-year-old is said to have met with D’banj in 2003/2004 in the UK. Both artistes returned to Nigeria; D’banj formed Mo’Hits with Don Jazzy, while Dr SID, (a former member of eLDee’s Trybe Records) picked up a job as a dentist at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital before going for his Youth Corps service in Yola, Adamawa State.
SID began recording a debut rap album ‘The Prognosis’ in 2005 but abandoned the project a year later. D’banj, at this time (2005), released his debut album ‘No Long Thing’ under the Mo’Hits imprint and scored remarkable success.
Mo’Hits released their second album in 2006 – D’banj’s ‘Rundown Funk U Up’ and after much success, were looking at expanding the label’s roster. They immediately signed an upcoming act from Mushin called Wande Coal, and in early 2007, signed Dr SID. SID is said to have been brought into the Mo’Hits crew due to D’banj’s influence.
Under the tutorship of producer Don Jazzy, he was converted into a singer and officially made his debut in the 2007 Mo’Hits compilation album ‘Curriculum Vitae’ along with other label acts – Wande Coal, Don Jazzy’s younger brother D’Prince, and D’banj’s younger brother Kay switch.
The rapper-turned-singer enjoyed the next three years, touring and performing with the Mo’Hits crew at big shows, including the Thisday Music Festival and Star Mega Jam.
His debut ‘Turning Point’ was released in 2010. The album churned out multiple hits including ‘Something about you’, ‘Over the moon’ featuring Kay Switch and ‘Pop Champagne‘ featuring D’banj.
But it wasn’t all rosy in-house: ‘SID and D’banj began to have fall outs, it became obvious when he released his album and became a man of his own. He felt he too could make decisions’, a source close to the defunct label tells NET.
And when the break up did happen, SID didn’t just take sides with Don Jazzy, but was very vocal about it, being the first to let the public know which side he belonged to. ‘DonJazzy is d most important piece of Mo hits, who doesn’t get the credit he deserves, without his creativity a lot of things will not exist’, SID tweeted in March 2012, during the breakup period.
There are still other unanswered questions; when did the conversation take place? Why was Dr SID discussing such a sensitive matter with an ‘Outsider’ such as Davido? Who is behind the secret recording?
Sources say the recording was done by the former Mo’Hits hypeman Special Ed, who was also present in the room. We could not immediately confirm this.
But we can tell you that Davido and Special Ed have both severed ties with Dr SID and the MAVIN crew, after issues came up over trying to score a Wande Coal collaboration on his debut album ‘Omo Baba Olowo: The Genesis.’ Both guys, along with the HKN crew, have opted for a tent in D’banj’s camp. Special Ed is seen with Davido and the HKN crew – in his videos and several locations, and he still works the stage with D’banj.
A few minutes after NET broke the story online, Special Ed tweeted ‘U know say! @ d end of the day I will alwaiz b ah bad man!!!!’ Davido immediately retweeted him.
Davido’s publicist Valerie Obaze and manager Asa Asika have decided not to comment on the issue, refusing to reply E-mails sent to them over the matter.
Comments on social networks – Facebook and Twitter have also been an interesting read, but the most cynical comes from Dr. SID’s former label mate Kay Switch, who tweeted;
@kayswitch: Dr dr sid…..lol doing wat he does best! Eeyaaah
CURLED FROM NIGERIAN ENTERTAINMENT

2012 HIPHOP AWARDS



The Headies, aka Hip Hop World Awards are here again. Arguably Nigeria’s biggest music awards, The Headies has indeed come a long way, from the small gathering of entertainers which began in March 2006, to a international platform for the reward of achievements and recognition of talent in the Nigerian music industry.
This edition will be hosted by singer Omawumi and rapper M.I, and will  hold at the Expo Hall at the Eko Hotel and Suites this Saturday. As we gear up for the sixth edition of the prestigious Headies Awards ceremony, let’s take a quick look at what to expect this year. Who will win big? What major performances should we be looking forward to? And finally, who takes the NEXT RATED prize? Your guess is as good as ours. But let us take a peek into the nominees list and see if we can predict a few winners of the coveted Headie statuette.
Nominees
Top on the list of the nominees are Psquare and Bez with six nominations each, closely followed by Wizkid, Davido and Ice Prince who have 4 nominations apiece. Psquare and Wande Coal are still the biggest winners in the history of the Headies Awards (Single event) with 5 awards each. Psquare won 5 awards at the maiden edition of the Headies in 2006, then known as the Hip Hop World Awards, while in 2010 ,following the success of his debut album, Wande Coal collected all 5 awards. The overall most decorated artiste in the history of the Headies award is rapper and Lyricist Mode 9, who has an impressive collection of 9 awards in total. He won’t be adding to that collection this year, as he wasn’t nominated, due to his failure to release a track during the year in review.
Psquare is up for Album of the year, Song of the year, Artiste of the year, Best pop single, Best Collabo and Best R&B Album. The super duo look likely to sweep these categories, but they have some big names like D’banj, Wizkid, and Davido to contend with in categories like, Album of the year,  Artiste of the year and Song of the year. We see them walking away with at least 4 awards.
Bez is up for Recording of the year, Best R n B Single, Best R&B/Pop Album, Best Collabo, Best Vocal performance and Revelation of the year. Bez is also expected to do well, but he will be facing stiff competition from artistes such as Wizkid, Tiwa Savage and Psquare in categories such as Best R n B Single of the year, Best R n B/Pop Album of the Year and Revelation of the Year. We see Bez going home with at least 2 awards.
Others
Wizkid will be good competition in categories such as, Album of the Year, Best R&B/Pop Album and Revelation of the Year. Davido is looking good in categories such as, Best Pop Single, Song of the year and Next Rated. For Ice Prince, we think he’s got a good chance in the Best Rap Album and Revelation of the Year Categories.
The Next Rated category happens to be the biggest, and everyone is eager to see who gets the brand new ride that comes with the award. Competing in this category are Davido, Flowssickk, Praiz, Eva Alordiah. The major contender in this category will be Davido, who has everything going for him due to the major success of his hit single ‘Dami duro’.
Performances
This Headies will, for the first time ever, witness the performance of Afrobeat King, Femi Kuti. The grand patron of the New Afrika Shrine will be live on stage, and will be inducted into the Headies Hall of Fame, joining Dayo D1 Adeneye, Kenny Ogungbe, Phillip Trimmel, Olisa Adibua, Obi Asika, Femi Akintunde Johnson, Sir Shina Peters and DJ Jimmy JATT. Other performances to look out for will be that of the Project fame star girl Chidinma, O.B.O (Omo Baba Olowo) Davido, Eva Alordiah and others. The winners of the Rookie Competition, Dammy Krane and Burna Boy will also be performing. Burna Boy’s single ‘Like To Party’ is enjoying massive airplay, while Dammy Krane’s ‘My Dear’ is still getting love from fans.
It’s already here people; you too can make your predictions and watch out to see how the night turns out!

UPCOMING ACTRESS LAMENTS


The ‘dirty water’ controversial former Kogi State federal lawmaker, Dino Melaye may have found himself swimming in has taken a new turn. If what we are now getting is anything to go by, then, more troubles awaitthe husband of Tokunbo Melaye.
This is because the ‘activist’ has now been dragged into another controversy, which may be messier than the pregnancy mess he is in with beautiful Yoruba actress, Bisi Ibidapo Obe.
According to what BON reported, an up and coming Yoruba actress has accused the father of three of infecting her with a sexually transmitted disease called Syphilis.
She also alleged Dino to be a potential carrier of the dreaded STD called HIV.
BON reported that a budding actress (name withheld) sent a mail to them. A copy of the mail is presented below.
“My name is ——–, I am an upcoming actressand I have featured in over 20 Yoruba films mostly as waka about. Last year, I met one of the big names in the industry who lives in Magodo and she became my friend and we were relating on sister basis.
She was very nice to me and she even gave me a role in her movie directed by Muyideen and shot in Omole Estate.
On my birthday last year (2011), she (the big actress) used my picture on her bb (BlackBerry) and Hon. Dino saw it and begged that she hooked us up.
She did but told me plain that she was not asking me to date him that the choice was mine.
Hon Dino started wooing me, he will call for long hours and he changed my phone and at one instance gave me 250,000 to change mywardrobe. I asked Hon. Melaye if he was married and he said he was seperated as he caught his wife in bed with another man in his matrimonial home.
One thing about Dino is that he hates CD (condom) and the first time we had sex, we argued for over 2hours as I said no to unprotected sex but after some sweet talks, I agreed and we continue like that. It didn’t take long before I started feeling funny and when I told my sister, who was a doctor, she ran some tests on me and told me I had Syphilis.
I picked my phone and told Dino. This was the last time he picked my calls and he deleted me from his bbm. If he denies this, I will send you at least 3 of our hotel receipts bearing his name. I am out because I know that there are more greedy girls like me and the rate at which Dino is going, he is a potential HIV carrier. Dino is very smooth and lies come to him easily.
This letter is unedited except the fact that we removed her name as agreed…
If this is true ehn… Infact I don’t want to say anything....... HYPING readers, what do you all think??

NDLEA Sniffer Dogs Detect N351M Heroin in Footballs, Rugs




Sniffer dogs of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have detected three consignments of heroin hidden inside various sizes of balls as well as woolen carpets.
The estimated street value of the drug is N351m.
It is gathered that the heroin, which was imported from Pakistan, had a total weight of 29.260kg.The rug consignment of 14kg came as cargo on KLM flight while the other two consignments of balls weighing 10.230kg and 5.030kg were imported on Saudi, Arabia Airline.
The “goods” were abandoned and no arrest is yet to be made. The matter is thoroughly being investigated by the NDLEA.

Dbanj and Kanye West at the Paris Fashion Week, March 2012
Illuminati’ [ih-loo-muh-nah-tee]: A name that refers to a purported conspiratorial organization which is alleged to mastermind events and control world affairs through governments and corporations to establish a New World Order.
What does that scary definition have to do with a Nigerian pop star who says he is determined to make Nigerian music known far and wide? A lot, according to some people.
Dapo ‘D’banj’ Oyebanjo, on Friday October 5, 2012, during an interview on the ‘Morning Show’ at popular urban radio station BEAT 99.9 FM, was asked – ‘Are you a member of the Illuminati’? He calmly denied ever being a member of the ‘secret organization’ but we can’t help but wonder why he was even asked the question.
THE GENESIS
The talk about D’banj supposedly joining the Illuminati started in the wee hours of the morning of Tuesday, March 1, 2011 when G.O.O.D Music boss Kanye West tweeted at former Mo’Hits label partners Don Jazzy and D’banj, asking them to ‘get back to New York’ as they had to wrap up some work. Over the next few months, tongues began wagging and insinuations made – that D’banj and Don Jazzy had ‘sold their souls’ to the Illuminati for fame and fortune.
INHERITED PROBLEMS
So how exactly did D’banj and Don Jazzy ‘sell their souls and join the Illuminati’? ‘You know Kanye is a member of the Illuminati, him and Jay Z, so as D’banj joined them, he has washed his hands in trouble’, an upcoming Lagos based artiste says.
And how does he know Kanye West and Jay Z are members of the Illuminati? The response: ‘Why are you talking like this now? I watched DVDs and read about their evils ways on the internet, so automatically, D’banj too is a member.’
HOW THE CASE WORSENED
The internet can be an educational tool, but with no barriers to curtail false or poorly proved accusations, everyone’s opinions on their blogs, Twitter and Facebook pages are, to a large extent, taken as facts – So people began writing out their opinions and many readers swallowed it hook, line and sinker. An ‘Oliver’ dance competition video which went viral over the next few weeks worsened the matter – a blog ‘Wazobia Report’ published a lengthy article written by a ‘Jowo Mabinu’ (which means ‘please don’t get/be angry) titled ‘D’Banj and Mo’Hits records crew in Illuminati plot to turn the nation gay’ which was culled by several other blogs.
HOW DON JAZZY GOT OFF THE HOOK
With the Mo’Hits split, and D’banj essentially relocating, to be closer to the G.O.O.D Music camp, it was more fodder for the D’banj-Kanye-Illuminati theorists. ‘Don Jazzy pulled out, he fears God, as for D’banj, there’s no coming back for him’, another upcoming artiste friend tells us.
SO WHICH OTHER NIGERIAN ARTISTES ARE ‘ILLUMINATI MEMBERS’?
D’banj isn’t the only scape goat. The ‘secret organization’ theorists have also taken it upon themselves to mention some other Nigerian artistes who have allegedly joined the Illuminati. Psquare, who signed with Akon have also been hit by critics for ‘selling their souls.’
Psquare released that Rick Ross video the same time their mother died. Mr. Reporter; I’m surprised you can’t put two and two together.’
EMBRACE THE LIGHT
Denying the rumours might not help; in fact, not commenting only raises suspicion, which might improve record sales and buzz around the artiste – a move made by Jay Z, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna, who are constantly bashed with Illuminati claims.
You don’t see them running to radio stations to deny any accusations, do you?
