Don Jazzy and Freeze in war of words on Twitter

We’ve often reported that after the Mo’Hits saga and controversial split between label heads, Don Jazzy and D’banj, most friends and acquaintances were somewhat forced to take sides, settling for ‘Team Don Jazzy‘ or ‘Team D’banj‘, they might deny but it’s true.

Maverick producer and MAVIN Records boss Don Jazzy and popular COOL FM on-air-personality Ifedayo Olarinde better known as Freeze kicked off the month of November with a ‘war of words’ on micro-blogging site Twitter.

Don Jazzy called out Freeze in the afternoon, accusing him of having bad blood against his person. ‘Uncle @Freeze_Coolfm if to say na you be God ehn, there will be no Nigeria. Respect is reciprocal o. If u hate me that much #CallPolice abeg‘.

Later in the night, Freeze responded to the producer stating his disappointment in Don Jazzy taking a diss at him on the social network. ‘Uncle Jazzy, I can’t believe u would stoop so low as to diss me on Social media‘.

 

That’s where it’s ended for now but we can tell you it’s not here it started.

A few weeks ago, Freeze granted D’banj an interview on his ‘Road Show’ when the pop star paid a visit to COOL FM. Freeze was not shy of taking frequent swipes at Don Jazzy, teasing D’banj to begin ‘dashing’ phone airtime (credit) on Twitter as some people got quite famous from doing so.

He also joked about D’banj buying Don Jazzy’s Bentley among other things. He also didn’t hesitate to help D’banj take jabs at Eedris Abdulkareem when the questions of the KENNIS Music rapper’s issues with D’banj arose.

‘Freeze hasn’t hesitated to show his support for D’banj, he basically doesn’t care what Don Jazzy thinks, I guess he’s pitching himself with who seems to be looking more succesfull right now. It’s nothing personal though‘, a source at COOL FM tells us

Ex-councillor stabs teenager for refusing advances

A former councillor of Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State, Onimole Babatunde, is currently being detained at the Area E Police Command, Festac, Lagos for allegedly stabbing an 18-year-old girl in the neck after she refused his advances at a night club.

On October 26, Mariam Abubakar (pictured above) went to Pearl Habour Night Club in Rochester Garden Hotel, Festac to “catch weekend fun.” Her friend, who pleaded anonymity, said they only went there “to hang out” when Babatunde, who was obviously drunk, started to make advances to Abubakar.

She said, “She was not interested in him so she did not answer when he called her. He was dancing and Mariam (Abubakar) was sitting at a table. He was obviously drunk and he came to pull her.

“He was manhandling her and she insisted he should leave her alone. This did not go down well with Babatunde and he was really angry. He went to a corner, took a bottle, broke it and stabbed Mariam in the neck.”

According to the source, Babatunde fled the scene immediately.

A police source at Area E told our correspondent that the preliminary report obtained indicated that the incident occurred at about 1:30am. He said Abubakar bled profusely at the scene before she was taken to Naval Hospital, Ojo by sympathisers at the night club.

The source said she was not admitted because those who took her there could not produce a police report.

“That was when someone notified our station (Area E Command) and we went to take her to Ajeromi General Hospital,” he said.

It was learnt that as Abubakar was being taken to the general hospital, she went into a coma.

She was said to have been revived at the general hospital. A nurse at the hospital, who craved anonymity, told our correspondent that she had lost about 20 per cent of her blood.

Abubakar is currently under intensive care at the hospital.

However, the police said the night club workers destroyed evidence at the scene of the alleged crime by cleaning up Abubakar’s blood on the floor.

The hotel has currently been sealed off by the police because the management did not report the incident.

It was learnt that the police got wind of Babatunde’s whereabouts, said to be holing up somewhere in Ikoyi and called him to simply come and write a statement. But he was detained immediately he got to the station.

The police spokesperson, Ngozi Braide, said she had not been briefed on the case.

Wizkid to work with M.I’s former manager Godwin Tom

Wizkid will soon be working with Godwin Tom

A few weeks ago, we reported that pop star Wizkid and manager Osagie Osarenkhoe parted ways.

We’ve got news for you – the pop star may have hired popular manager Godwin Tom.

Wiz and Osarenkhoe, who runs her own outfit M.e.tal Management, ended their business relationship in June 2012, and we’re told Wizzy has been without a manager since then.

Meanwhile, Wizzy’s label EME also recently announced that they are ‘currently seeking for a General Manager to manage its growing business and build up the EME label.’

Godwin seems like the likely replacement, having handled M.I, in whose career he played a vital role, and rapper duo Show Dem Camp. He also had a stint with singer Airis and is currently part of singer Waje‘s management team.

Inside sources tell us that Godwin hasn’t signed any contracts, as he will be on probation for now.

Meanwhile, Mr Tom said ’I’ve seen the news and there’s a lot of speculation. There has been no announcement of such so let’s just leave it at that for now‘. But going by his words on social network Twitter, Godwin seems to be excited about the new role.

‘Things are coming together… I am doing what I love… What Im good at. I dont regret being who I am! I am the best me! I dont regret one bit of my last 5+ years. They were the best. And best is relative… Things are about to get better!‘ he tweeted.

Chinedu ‘Aki’ Ikedieze and Osita ‘Paw Paw’ Iheme

Popular Nollywood actors, Chinedu Ikedieze and Osita Iheme have floated a movie production company called APEN (Aki and Pawpaw Entertainment Nigeria).

The duo who are popularly known by their stage names, Aki and Pawpaw, say the new business is based on their desire to contribute to the production sector of the industry as well as give opportunities to young talents who aspire to make a career in the industry.

The kick off of APEN coincides with the pair’s 10th career anniversary and we’re told they’re already commissioning their debut movie, due to be released later in the year.

Iheme, 30 and Ikedieze, 34, rose to fame in 2003, after featuring in the Amayo Uzo Philips directed movie, Aki na Ukwa, which also had the likes of Amaechi Muonagor, Frances Nsokwu and Oby Kechere as co-actors.

Drop your case and team up with Ibinabo’ Kate Henshaw tells Emeka Ike

Kate Henshaw

Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw has expressed displeasure at the many controversies surrounding the victory of Ibinabo Fiberisima in the just concluded elections of the Actors Guild of Nigeria.

She mentioned this in a recent interview with NET, where she advised that Emeka Ike bury his sentiments and accept the result as valid. According to her, this is important for the growth of the association, ‘Emeka should join forces with I.B and stop all this rancour because it doesn’t make us serious at all, which is unnecessary. He should drop whatever suit or case he has, marry his plans and support IB. Enough is enough’

Speaking further on the victory, Henshaw expressed high hopes in the newly elected excos, adding that AGN as the biggest body in movie industry, deserves a focused leader, a position she hopes Fiberisima will live up to, ‘Hopefully, I.B (Ibinabo Fiberisima) will turn things around for AGN. We are like the biggest body ever, so I am praying she can turn things around and make us more unified, because the division is what has caused us to not to be where we ought to be’

Henshaw, 41, made her movie debut in 1993 in the movie When the Sun Sets and has since featured in various movies including Stronger Than Pain which got her AMAA  award as best actress in 2008.

Revealed: Why Femi Kuti shunned The Headies

Those who attended The Headies 2012 awards show on Saturday October 20, were surprised when the show ended without musician Femi Kuti gracing the stage.

It had been highly publicized that the respected Afrobeat singer-saxophonist was to perform at the prestigious awards show -his first ever. He was also to be inducted into the well respected ‘Hall of Fame‘.

But Femi never showed up, rather he stayed behind at the New Afrika Shrine where the recently concluded Felabration 2012 was going onNET placed a call to Yeni Kuti, Femi’s elder sister who didn’t divulge much information other than there was a ‘slight misunderstanding’.

But an inside source close to the Kuti family tells us it was more than a misunderstanding, allegedly having to do with the failure of the awards organizers and Kuti’s managers to reconcile last minute differences.

‘They were meant to pay Shoki shoki (Femi) some balance for logistics but as at Saturday evening we hadn’t received the money, so he stayed back at the Shrine for Felabration‘, a reliable source told us in anonymity. We could not immediately confirm this.

The Headies does not pay musicians for performances, and this is the first time a Hall of Fame inductee will stay away from the glamorous event.

No word yet from the organizers about why Femi was absent.

Godwin Okpara Turned Me In to A Sex-Slave

Tina Okpara, the teenage girl who was serially Molested by Super Eagles star, Godwin Okpara, has released a book, detailing how the intimate assault went on for two years.

Tina Okpara

In the book titled, “My Life Has A Price”, the victim narrates how she was adopted at age 13 by the Okparas and taken to France.

Linda, Okpara’s wife, then enslaved her for five years and turned a blind eye to the intimate abuse, she says in the book.

Tina’s decision to write the book seven years after she regained freedom, aims at raising awareness and helping other girls who might be going through the same horrendous experience, she said in an interview with TheNews magazine.

“One day, I told myself that if I refused testifying, other girls will continue to experience modern slavery,” she said.

She explained how her biological father was tricked by the Okparas into believing that she would be sent to school in France where the Super Eagles star was playing for Paris Saint Germain.

However, once in France, she was used as a sex slave. She was also prevented by Linda from attending school.

“The day she spat it on my face that schooling was not for me because I was too silly, I lost all hope,” she said

As the abuse worsened, Tina kept secret notebooks where she could “dump all my sorrow”.

“These notebooks were used to dump all my sorrow, all my hatred for Linda. It was my lifeline and my friend,” she said.

The 188-page book, originally written in French, has just been translated into English.

Godwin is currently serving a 10-year jail term in France, while his wife, Linda, will be in jail for 15 years.

I Can Still Work With Don Jazzy -d'banj

In a major interview post 'Mo Hits, DB/Good Music/Mercury/IDJ artiste, Dapo Oyebanjo popularly called D'banj, sought to lay to rest various allegations and rumours being peddled about him, in an exclusive interview he granted a Lagos State based radio station, Cool FM.

The artiste, who lists Why Me as his break out song, also spoke on chances of reconciling with former partner and friend Don Jazzy. Asked if there were chances that both parties may reconcile, he said “We can always work together and Don Jazzy still produced some songs on my forthcoming album. Yes we can work together in future. Maybe a big company can pay a lot of money for us to perform and yes it has to be a lot of money for me.”

Although the separation remains fresh in the minds of the public since the break-up made public in March this year, the singer appeared to be still be nursing the wounds. He appeared overwhelmed with emotions when the interviewer referred to Don Jazzy as his friend. To this he went metaphorical saying, “What do you guys call friends, I mean I had friends for nine years and you guys saw what happened after the divorce. I lost custody of my children (signees) apart from the one I had out of wedlock.”

D'banj also said he was boss of defunct Mo Hits Record by claiming that it was his record label D'Banj (DB) Records that went into partnership with Kanye West's G.O.O.D and not Mo'Hit.

Ever since the singer was officially signed on to West's G.O.O.D Music label in July, he was rumoured to have joined the dreaded Iluminati Cult, which is alleged to be home to a number of American celebrities, including West. In defence, D'banj said, “I don't know anything about the Illuminati. When I wanted to travel out of Nigeria for the first time I collected my international passport from Bishop David Oyedepo. That shows that I owe my success to God. If my success is too fast for people or they cannot understand it please don't attribute it to illuminati. I feel very offended when that is being said because it simply translates to giving God's glory to another person which He does not share with anyone. God will strike anyone who attributes my success to someone else.”

To the allegations of an existing relationship with Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji, he said, “I am very single, and Genevieve is my friend. I have been saying this for over a year since we shot the Fall in Love video. Can't you people just see fine boy and fine girl in a video kissing each other and not think anyhow?”

Although the singer who released his debut album, No Long Thing in 2005, was recently featured on West's Cruel Summer CD inlay and a couple of other singles, he has been criticised for 'leaving his kingship in Nigeria to become a prince in America.'

Amidst laughter, Dbanj replied, “Did I change the crown? I only carried my crown to the US. People are just confused but the truth is I am still a king wherever I am. Being in a different country and culture I had to study the environment which is what I am still doing. I actually thought I would release my album in America but my label thought UK would be better because I have a bigger fan base there. I weighed my options remember everything did not come from me so I had to do what I did to move on.”

The singer, who revealed that his mother allowed him to travel to the UK in 2002 with a condition that he would spend just two months there, describes social media network as platform for idle talk.

“I am too busy for social media, please. If you people want to talk to me go to TV or radio I don't go to social media except I have something to say. I never give out recharge cards on Twitter (laughs) even when I was with Globacom I never did that. If you want to do that why not help a charity instead.”

I Watched Them Kill My Brother' Tekena's Sister (ALUU4)

A sister of one of the four University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) students brutally murdered last Friday in Umuokiri village, Aluu, Rivers State, has narrated how her younger brother and his friends were lynched.

Miss Ibisobia Elkanah, elder sister of Tekena Friday Elkanah, revealed yesterday that policemen visited the scene where the students were burnt to death after they were severely injured and that one of the law enforcement agents told the perpetrators of the dastardly act “to burn them alive”

The murdered students, Chiadika Lordson, Ugonna Kelechi Obusor, Mike Lloyd Toku, and Tekena Elkanah, all part two students, were murdered in cold blood over alleged theft of a laptop computer and a blackberry phone. Ibisobia, a part-time final year student of Marketing, at the same university who witnessed the incident, said on that fateful day, at about 7.30 am, she was at the house of her girl friend in the community when she heard people shouting outside. “I dashed out and beckoned on my friend to come since she lived in the area.

The thing attracted much noise and attention. I went there but did not actually see or recognize any of them, due to the crowd. “I heard when people were saying the people they (vigilance group) caught were strangers; that they want to burn them.

They said they were asking them questions, so that they could know their senders.” She said after that, she went back to her friend’s house, but could not stay there. “I went back again. I went through the bush path so that I could see them properly. I started jumping to see if I could see them. I jumped again but saw nothing. I jumped the second time and I saw Tekena. Tekena happened to be my brother. “I told myself that I was not seeing well, this thing is a lie. I jumped the third time, I saw Lloyd (one of the victims). So, I started shouting.

From what I gathered, the first time I came, they said they were not known; that they were strangers. As I identified them, I started shouting. Ibisobia said she continued shouting that Tekena was her brother, saying that he came to her on Thursday in school and she gave him his school fees. “I told them that somebody should allow me to ask him what happened and what he came to do. He would confide in me. He was wailing and in a pool of blood.”

“Tekena has been my younger brother for many years. I saw them as they lay in the water Unclad with leaves covering their nakedness.” His elder sister said she struggled and entered the crowd. Somebody shouted “Who is that? What is she doing inside?” “People were pushing me and I started crying. He is my brother! He is not a thief! Somebody behind me said O’girl run for your life.

About two persons turned and asked, are you sure he is your brother, and said may be I was the person that sent him to go and steal.” Ibisobia replied them that how could she send him, that she did not look as such. ‘They said I should run for my life that I would be the next one, fifth person.” The young lady lamented that before she could get to her friend’s room to call her family members, she learnt that the mob had taken them to the burrow pit. “So, I went there again.

I called my family and they started coming. The police van came, went into the mob and they were talking to them (youths). The people kept quiet as police were making statements. “I heard them laughing. You know, they were happy. They kept quiet again. Police talked and they laughed again. The next was for me to see three policemen coming out of the mob, boarded their van. And, one of the said “burn them alive”. “I must confess, I was gripped with fear.

I had the intention to talk to the man that said they should be burnt alive. As soon as they (police) drove off, I saw the flames. I was thinking they burnt them after they had killed them. Later, I discovered that they were burnt while they were alive.

Nigerian actor Lawrence Lurrenz Onuzulike launches a Nollywood fun book

European based Nigerian actor, author, and musician Lawrence Lurrenz Onuzulike recently launched a fun book into the Nigerian market.

The book of fun games and trivia is packaged as a way of educating lovers of Nigerian movies. We learned that the book contains puzzles, trivia questions, crosswords, and word searches which test readers' knowledge of the Nigerian stars and movies while at the same time learning more about the entire industry.

Speaking on the book, Lawrence who is also the founder of Nollywoodgossip Magazine said that he embarked on the project to inculcate the culture of reading among lovers of Nigerian movies.

“I was thinking of another way to get Nollywood practitioners to earn extra income apart from the usual production of films, and at the same time thinking of how to bring back reading culture among Nigerians. Then it clicked. An entertainment and fun game back. That's how the idea of the book came to mind,” he narrated.

We are told that the endorsement deal was sealed with Tiwa’s current management 323 Entertainment headed by Tunji ‘T-Billz’ Balogun about a month ago. The deal sees the 32-year-old follow the likes of pop singer Ashionye who was endorsed as the face of ‘Pepsi Light’ back in 2007.

‘Yea, the deal is true, I can confirm that but that’s all I can say for now’, Balogun told Icon Footprint Entertainment in a phone conversation. Balogun later explained he signed a non-disclosure agreement with the parties involved. ‘I’m still surprise how the news got out so soon‘, he added.

There’s no announcement yet from Pepsi. But an insider tells us there’s the possibility that another Nigerian pop star will be joining Tiwa at Pepsi.

Meanwhile it’s big things popping for Tiwa who just yesterday, was announced as a new signee under top notch producer Don Jazzy’s new label outfit, MAVIN Records.

Congratulation to our one and only Tiwa savage for the good work you've been doing. From Icon Footprint Entertainment Crew.

Mr. Latin welcomes baby girl hours after death rumour

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The last 24 hours have been a twist of emotions for Baba Latin…

It’s less than 24 hours since comedic actor Bolaji Amusan popularly known as Baba Latin was rumoured dead and after making sure he made everyone know he’s alive and kicking, the actor has announced the arrival of his new baby.

Reports say Latin’s wife delivered the baby girl this morning in Dublin, Ireland.

The actor’s fans have taken to his Facebook Page which was flooded with condolence messages hours ago to congratulate him.

‘Congratulation on ur new born baby girl am wishing her long life in gud health nd wealth baba omo tuntun u are blessed’, a fan, Akanke Ruq’at Olaide wrote.

 

‘Congratulation my brother, on the arrival of your new bouncing baby girl. May God continue to bless and protect you and your family. I am so happy for you. Its well!!!!’, another fan, Olabanji Odumosu said.

Sources say Latin will head to Dublin to meet his family this Friday.

It’s just 48 hours after the opening of the Big Brother StarGame and the first shocking surprise has already been made!

The number of housemates will abruptly be reduced by one as Angola’s Esperanca has volunteered to exit Big Brother StarGame due to personal issues.

The 24-year-old model and Downville Housemate declared her intentions to leave when Biggie called her into the Diary Room and asked her what was on her mind.

Esperanca says she had ‘made up her mind on this decision and had even discussed it with the Head of House, Keitta’. Biggie has however given the housemate 24 hours to rethink her decision; advising her to discuss her decision with other contestants.

Esperanca entered the Big Brother House with fellow Angolan partner Seydou.

Eviction will still go on Sunday with evictees Hilda, Julio, Maneta and Teclar battling to stay back in the house.

‘Congrats to my brother’ – D’banj hails Don Jazzy on launch of new label

Just this morning May 7, 2012, Nigerian hit producer Don Jazzy launched his new record label MAVIN Records, flaunting his acts Wande Coal, D’Prince, Dr SID and surprise signee Tiwa Savage.

The former Mo’Hits boss has received congratulatory messages from far and wide on his latest venture and even from his former label mate D’banj.

‘Congrats to my brother and the best producer in Africa Don jazzy on the launch of his new Record Label, MAVIN RECORDS. Wish u all the best‘, @iamdbanj tweeted.

Don Jazzy immediately repiled D’banj ‘Thanks bro. God bless you.’. Don Jazzy then added ‘After Solar Plexus Tomorrow. Tweeps next stop is #Olivertwist UK Release May 14th. your support is needed always. RepNaija, RepAfrica. Oshee’.

In April, D’banj in an exclusive interview with Icon  Footprint Entertainment had stated that Don Jazzy ‘is still my brother’. ‘We’ll still work together in future, same with my boys‘.

D’banj is currently signed to a joint venture deal with Mecury Records/G.O.O.D Music and will be releasing his ‘Oliver’ single in the UK on May 14.

Darey jams with Ice Prince and Jozi on new single

After what seems like an eon, R&B pathfinder Darey Art Alade is planning to bless fans with some new music again.
We have just confirmed that a new single, ‘Asiko’ (meaning ‘time’ in English) featuring South African group Jozi and rap heavyweight Ice Prince will be released in a matter of days.

It will be the singer’s first single since Sisi Eko (remix, Ft Flavour); and the first single off his upcoming fifth album.

Insiders who have had a listen tell us the cut is ‘fun and fab’, and a collaboration fans here, and in SA will find ‘exciting’.

Darey himself tweeted yesterday: ‘my new single drops this week’, ending the message with a smile.
No release date has been announced.

Darey is signed to his own label Soul Muzik, which is also home to the rapidly-rising act Moeazy.

Congratulation Darey from Icon crew

Don Jazzy releases The Mavins ‘Solar Plexus’ album ft. Wande Coal, Dr. SID, D’Prince and Tiwa Savage

A day after announcing his new record label, Don Jazzy has released a compilation album today as promised. And, the producer is offering every single song for free download.

Titled ‘Solar Plexus‘ which  in general context means ‘a blow to the stomach’ or as they say ‘getting the wind knocked out of you‘, the 12-tracker comprises of individual songs from ‘The Mavins‘ – Wande Coal, D’Prince, Tiwa Savage and Dr SID with additional vocal back-ups from Don Jazzy himself.

Other than the intro where all acts feature on the same song, the album sees each act explore their style individually; sort of a pushing their separate brands which in my opinion defeats the purpose of a compilation album unlike the Mo’ Hits All Stars – Curriculum Vitae album where they sold the Mo’Hits chemistry in 2007.

While the ‘Don Jazzy bred’ acts Wande Coal, Dr SID and D’Prince have three songs each to themselves, Tiwa Savage (the surprise signing) disappointingly has only a song to her credit.

Understandably, maybe, because the entire project was put together in a rush., and Tiwa’s signing only just concluded.

Solar Plexus is a mixture of highs and lows as the acts perform brilliantly on one song only to fall short on the other. The production also doesn’t sound new as compared to past efforts. 

The album will however produce some club hits that will last for a while.

Is D’banj’s absence noticeable - of course YES.
