AN OPEN LETTER TO D'BANJ FROM A FAN (A MUST READ)

Dear Oyebanjo, Dapo Daniel AKA D’Banj,I am seated at a local restaurant here at the university town of Nsukka, in Enugu State, Nigeria, drinking a bottle of Fayrouz and listening to the sound of the generator, which is the only source of electricity around here.I have watched your latest music video. I went through the rigour last night. It is the video of the song entitled “Don’t Tell Me Nonsense” and it was awfully disgusting, the song, I mean. Kaffy and the rest of the dancers didn’t disappoint in the video.
This is bad, I know, using awful and disgusting, in same sentence. But that is what I feel about what I saw. Brother, D’Banj, a lot has changed since you left your brother and hustle partner, Ajereh, Michael Collins AKA Don Jazzy. Truth. Your songs have been nothing but trash. I wonder if anyone has said anything nice to you since you started making songs outside Don Jazzy. If they have, it must have been for that singular hit song entitled ‘Oliver Twist.’ Kai! That song swept through Nigeria and the rest of the world. You would not believe that the ordinary child on the streets of Nsukka knows the lyrics of that song and the dance steps too.

In Nigeria, there are plenty factors that weigh us down. One is our inability to manage our weaknesses. I see you have been buying yourself expensive jewelleries. The other day, I saw on a  blog that you wear a

DEKUNLE FUJI IS NOW A NURSE IN AMERICA

Do you guys remember Dekunle Fuji of "lelelelele, mo like Jesu gan, mo nife Jesu gan..." that beautiful gospel fuji song. Well, in the search for greener pastures, the popular Nigerian gospel fuji musician, Dekunle Fuji is now a certified nurse in the US.

The former Storm Records artiste who several years ago was a toast in the gospel scene is now based in the US State of New Jersey where he went through a nursing course to become a qualified nurse.

The former artiste had left Nigeria for a show in the US in 2011. Getting to the US, Dekunle began considering the thought of settling down in the States. In no time he quickly applied for a nursing course and finished with the course a few months ago.

Prior to his sojourn in the US, the musician (although does not like to be referred to as a gospel artiste) had joined the Nigerian Police Force even before moving to the US.

‘Dekunle had joined the police force where he was appointed a senior officer because of his qualification. It just so happened that his travelling came through just about the same time the Police force had employed him’, the source said.

We also discover that in the US, the musician turned nurse is still taking up shows in churches and crusades where he gets paid up to about $5000 (N790000) per performance....

EXCLUSIVE: KANYE WEST DENIES CHEATING ON KIM WITH CANADIAN MODEL

Kanye West insists he did not cheat on Kim Kardashian with Canadian model, Leyla Ghobadi, telling TMZ, the woman accusing him of being unfaithful is just out for some easy publicity.

Leyla recently did an interview claiming she had sex with Kanye after meeting him at one of his concerts in July 2012 and that Kanye confessed his relationship to Kim was a publicity stunt.

But a rep for Kanye told TMZ it's all lies. "This most recent attack on Kanye West and his family is totally without merit. It's a blatant attempt by a misguided individual who is clearly seeking publicity, and another in a series of malicious stories drummed up by non-credible 'news' sources. This is a sad attempt to hurt two people trying to live their lives."

KING SUNNY ADE NARRATES THE STORY OF HIS LIFE (INTERVIEW)

Sunday Adeniyi Adegeye is a living legend. Popularly referred to as King Sunny Ade, has spent 40 years of his 66 years on stage doing what he loves best-singing and dancing.

His genre of music is Juju. This is also laced with a dance-inspiring hybrid of western pop and traditional African music with roots in the guitar tradition of Nigeria. He recorded successes as he did in his early 1980s albums and American tours.

The Ondo-State born and his band, African Beats, remain relevant in the society especially among his teeming fans.

In this interview, he speaks about his music.

You have been playing music for over 40 years and you are still agile, what would you attribute that to?

I believe it is the work of God. I love music and I love dancing. From a young age, I used to go to church with my mother and I will be in the centre dancing until the music stops.

So, you don’t use stimulants before going on stage?

I have God-given strength. Because of the love I have for music, I do not think I have to stimulate myself to dance or perform. Besides, in my house, I do so many exercises to keep me agile.

Looking back at when you began music, did you think the KSA brand was going to be this successful?

No, my intention then was just to play music for people to dance because I dance to other people’s music. Due to the acceptance I received, I started understudying other people and I began to separate good from bad. From the age of five, I decided not to smoke or drink because I do not even like the smell of cigarette. I do not like people fighting or arguing. I am an easygoing person.

Did your parents support your decision to embrace music?

It took me almost 20 years for my parents to accept my choice of profession because they saw me as a drop-out. When I came to Lagos in 1962, I did not know anybody except a band member that we played together with Moses Olaiya (Baba Sala). I was still in school but the love of music made me come to Lagos to join Olaiya who played Juju music. He does not smoke or drink. It was like me meeting someone I could model my distaste for cigarette and drinks after.

I have not encountered anything that can make me more energetic than what God has given me. When I hear good music and I see people around me, it makes me want to get wings to fly. That is how joyous I become.

Do you get the urge to retire from music and do something else?

At one time, I decided to go into filming or just do something else but it was my fans that bombarded me with messages that I could just not turn my back on music. Then, I stopped but, I have other businesses that are related to music like a recording studio and printing press, which I have people running. Because it is music that gave me fame, I am still very much involved in it.

As long as my fans still say they want me and are not tired of me, who am I to say I will retire? If I retire now, who will feed me?

Did you have a privileged upbringing?

My father died when I was young and my mother and her sister took over. They had a local restaurant where they catered for almost 600 people in the morning and at night in Araromi, Osogbo. I grew up there and I was never hungry.

Years later, my mother fell ill and the business crumbled. It was then I had the feeling that something had gone wrong.

The good thing was that all along, I never liked food and rarely ate. My mother would give me a small portion of food and would even beg me to eat it and that is where I got the nickname, kajekaje which means, ‘eat it eat it.’ I would just be staring at the food, turn my plate in circles while imagining all kinds of things.

When did you experience your first major breakthrough?

That was when I released the album, Challenge Cup. But I would not call it a breakthrough because the record earned me recognition among fans. I did not have instruments then and I started the band with friends.

My first instrument was given to me by Chief Tunde Amuwo; he was a friend to my band leader, Olaiya.

You have had a rosy career, were there any challenges that are hard to forget?

There are many but I will not say one is worse than the rest. So many things happen especially when you have a big band but in all, give glory to God. There have been times when my band broke up and my band members would just disappear especially when they want to form a new band.

Sometimes, when we travel abroad for shows, they elope because people have advised them wrongly that it is better to live abroad. At the end of the day, they run into trouble abroad, come back to Nigeria but they cannot return to the band again.

How was it like having Ebenezer obey as your rival?

He is my friend. The press came up with that assumption. I have every cause to thank God that he is someone who understands because my mission is to make sure that all musicians love each other. In those days, musicians do not eat together, they do not sit together, they do not talk together, and if you meet at shows, it is trouble.

When I started music, we were lucky that we rose about the same time and one day, I went to his house and I said ‘senior it is me, what is the solution to all the enmity among musicians?’ We spoke for about two hours. It did not go down well with our fans that we had to manage but now, we are brothers.

You have recorded over a hundred albums. Which would you consider your best and why?

The best is yet to come but the one I treasure most, the one I compare with the first time I knew a woman, is my very first album titled, Alanu ni Oluwa (God is merciful). I did not believe I could record an album. The day I heard it on radio, I started calling everybody and telling them Sunny Ade is on the radio. We recorded the album at NBC in Ikoyi. That day, I and members of my band (eight of us) prostrated on the ground for the engineer to play the song on radio five or eight times. We started dancing. Even though the report was that the record sold only thirteen copies, we were still happy.

You have a peculiar dance step when you are on stage. Did you learn it somewhere or was it your idea?

The dance came to me and I took it. I started doing it and people said it was different from other dances, so I stuck to it. All I had to do was to improve on it.

You loved your mother so much that she cooked for you instead of your wives

There was no special reason other than the fact that she did not want my any of my wives to get jealous.

One day after cooking for me, she told one of my wives to take the food to me and you need to see how she made a show of it with the intention of making her co-wives jealous.

So who cooks your meal now that she is dead?

At least 20 years before her demise, I got a cook. At one point, she could no longer cook for me because of old age but she still supervised my meal from her room, which was opposite the kitchen.

In fact, you must not sweat when you are cooking my meal. You would have to leave the food, clean your face, and continue the cooking. This she did so that the sweat does not drop into the food.

Are you still looking at taking another wife?

If they ask me that question, you should say enough is enough or do you still want someone to have babies for me?

Are you grooming a successor?

I leave that in the hands of the Lord. All my children are performers but they know that they must go to school. I have one who calls himself Prince Sunny Ade. I even have some of my grandchildren who perform with me sometimes. Because they are very little, they do not go to night shows and only perform for five or ten minutes.

Do you have a special diet that helps to keep you fit?

I do not have any and I love to eat eba and any other food that comes my way but I do not eat much. My fans are telling me I am putting on weight. I told them I am still on track but they want to see me the way I was about ten years ago.

What is your assessment of the current crop of artistes we have now?

I cannot tell you categorically if in many years time, their music would be referred to as evergreen. Only the fans can tell. When I started music, I did not know my songs would become evergreen. As a musician, will your music remain relevant 20 years after?

What do you do for relaxation?

The only time I relax is when I am asleep. I play golf, tennis, lawn tennis, and badminton. I go from Lagos to play golf in Shagamu, from there to Ibadan then Ada, to Ado-Ekiti and Abuja. I used to play squash in my house but I stopped when I was 60.

What would you like to be remembered for?

I want to be remembered as one of the pioneers of good music. Also, for playing the guitar. About 10 or 15 years ago, I was ranked number 69 in the whole world and number one in Africa for playing the guitar.

OMAWUMI: "I'LL NOT FALL FOR THE PRESSURE OF MARRIAGE" (INTERVIEW)

Her jovial nature and distinct sense of style have helped her gain acceptance.

In this interview, she tells us of her plans for marriage, her baby and her career.

Tell us about your upcoming concert

I have my concert coming up in April. I realised a lot of people wonder who I really am, which is what I intend showing on the day of the concert. I agree I joke and I have a tendency to be a bit healthy crazy but I am also a very serious person. All these personalities are what I intend displaying on stage on that day.

How do you manage to keep up your energy on stage?

I think it is because I perform frequently nowadays, that gives a level of confidence. However, before I get on stage, I usually like to relax and save up the energy.

Has there ever been a time, when people failed to respond to your performance the way you expected?

There has and it happens a lot of time. It is usually a mixture of both. There are times when people go crazy and there are times when they don’t but the thing is, I am an eclectic artiste. I have had both command and energy performances, so I understand it is not every time people want to jump and shout.

What is delaying your second album?

I have been working and now I am ready. My album will be out in a matter of weeks and it will be titled,Lasso of Truth and before you ask what it means. My last album was titled Wonder Woman and in the story about her, she has a lasso with which she whips and forces victims to tell the truth. That is what I am about as an artiste and it reflects in my songs too. It will be a 12 track album and I can’t reveal for now who I worked with because anything can happen at any time.

What do you do apart from music?

I work, although it relates to music too. I write and compose songs for blue chip companies which they use for adverts. I also have personal businesses that I run, don’t ask me about it. I also host programmes, I did The Headies last year. I act too and will be off to Ghana next week for a movie location with John Dumelo, Majid Michel.

Six years after West Africa Idols, why do you think you didn’t win?

While in the house, I worked as hard as I could do and when it was announced, there was nothing I could do. People thought I was faking my happiness for Timi Dakolo, but I wasn't  At that moment, I had two feelings. A sense of gratitude, because I did not believe I could get that far and of course I felt low that I didn't win, but I am happy Timi (Dakolo) won. It was better he won than anybody.

How is your baby (Kamila) doing?

She is doing really fine.

How come you hardly show her off?

There is no time for all of that. She goes to school and she comes from a large family. When she is not with me, she could be with her grandparents or her godmother (Waje) or her many uncles and aunties. She was born into a large family on both sides.

Why are you yet to disclose the identity of the father?

It doesn’t really concern anybody.

Do you have plans to get married?

Matrimony is not something to rush into and I intend to live by that. I will not fall for the pressure of marriage because if I do and in the end something goes wrong, the same people will ask why I didn’t take my time. I don’t think it is a bad thing to take my time to understand the person I intend getting married to.

Does that imply there is someone on board at the moment?

Dem no dey know finish.

Do you agree with the opinion that you are the hottest Nigerian female singer?

Amin Jesu! I am not someone who is moved with titles but I always pray that God continually makes me relevant and bless me with a fan base that will stay true to me and my career. I am a musician, whether I am the first or the last is not a problem for me but I strive to make good music and I get people who like it.

You look like a very strong hearted person. How do you react to disappointments?

I am not as strong minded as you seem to believe. I just have a lot confidence in myself and in the God I serve and the people surrounding. If I said nothing breaks me, that is lie, but not much can.

You seem to lean towards the feministic. Is this inspired by any personal experience?

No, I just be woman. It depends on who you are and it gets to a point in one’s career when you are expected to do certain things with it. If I were a man, I will protect man. I have my voice and I will protect women and children.

Music is a very great tool. What do you plan to do with it?

I want to be able to inspire people with meaningful works made by me

"FORGET KIM. KANYE WEST IS GAY" - POPULAR BLOGGER INSISTS

 

Bryanboy, who has over 359,000 followers on Twitter, wrote yesterday that he was the “last to know” the strange rumour – which seems to be pretty baseless.

“Wait so Kanye West is gay?”, he wrote. “He and Riccardo Tisci were former f**k buddies/lovers? And Kim Kardashian is a beard? Why am I the last to know?”

A beard is a woman enlisted by a closeted gay male to pose as his girlfriend.

Bryanboy added: “Immaculate conception, artificial insemination…. for all you know, Kim Kardashian is probably Mama Mary incarnate”

Tisci is a Givenchi Fashion designer, who is thought to have influenced Kanye’s foray into fashion.

The New York Post’s Page Six column previously wrote: “Sources say the two have been hanging in New York and Brazil. And critics noticed a Givenchy influence on West’s clothes at his runway show in Paris, where Tisci sat front-row.

The pop icon will also honour other performance engagements in and around Lagos.

‘Forget all the noise about February 14, Innocent and his wife have other grand plans up their sleeves and are not ready to give up the details just yet’ one major insider told NET last week as Annie continued her luxury shopping from the US to Dubai.

‘Annie isn’t settling for a secret wedding, she’ll get her elegant white wedding like she’s always dreamt of’, a friend who’s familiar with preparation plans told us.

So where and when will the wedding be?

"Limbaugh is a racist / Glenn Beck is a racist / Gaza Strip was getting bombed/ Obama didn’t say s--- / That’s why I ain’t vote for him / next one, either / I’m part of the problem / my problem is I’m peaceful"

Next thing you know, Lupe's mic went silent and the lights on stage went out. Lol. He refused to leave the stage so a team of security guards came on stage and asked him to go.
