YBNL boss, Olamide‘s tongue-in-cheek reaction to the shocking news of an attack on a gay club by a gunman in Orlando drew an angry response from former Super Falcons player,Chichi Igbo.

In a now deleted post, the rapper seemed to make a mockery of the tragic incident by putting up a meme which read: ‘When somebody asks you if you’re ok because they know you were in Orlando but your not gay.’

Chichi apparently got wind of the ‘disrespectful’ post and ultimately lashed out at Baddo, subsequently getting herself blocked from the rapper’s page.

Olamide aka @baddosneh you are officially a douchebag for being so insensitive over such tragedy, gay or straight, lives were lost and I don’t see how anyone can make joke with such, and for the record, not everyone that goes to a gay club is gay, these are people that have friends and families that most times accompany them to clubs and there are also those that are not so judgmental n prolly love the type of music played in the club. It could’ve been anyone so pay some fucking respect or be SILENT!!! #prayfororlando #letloveleadtheway,’ Chichi commented.


The “Ginger Master” was a guest on ChannelsTV’sRubbin MindsSunday and he admitted to using
drugs.

It probably comes as no surprise that his usual ‘hyperactive’ behaviour is as a result of being
under the influence but the singer has revealed he no longer uses drugs, “I still do marijuana”.
He told the show’s host that the Nigerian music industry is plagued with drug use and abuse and he
was a victim.

“There is plenty drug problem in the industry,” he
said while also admitting that “I am clean but I still
do marijuana.”

Wondering how he got himself caught up with being dependent on the use of drugs? The “Free Madness” hit-maker explained that it wasn’t completely his fault (as many may think) but blamed a mystery Nollywood actress for his mishap.

He said, “I was introduced to drugs by a popular actress.”

What's the difference?
Peter Okoye has described his twin brother, Paul as a lazy chap. Peter made this known while the P-Square duo were guests at the Beat 99.9FM for their 5th anniversary celebration. He attributed Paul's laziness to the reason why he does not do a lot of dancing in the group.
"It's not that Paul cannot dance, he's just lazy. The other day, we booked a 7-hour photo session and by the first hour, Paul was already tired" he expalined.
"It's true" Paul concured.
"I don't like all the gra gra dance, I'm always afraid that I'll break my bones" he said amidst general laughter. "I prefer the cool moves like that 'Do Me' dance"
Meanwhile the duo are set to drop their hotly anticipated 6th studio album, 'Double Trouble' come Friday, September 12th.

Timaya got involved in a war of words with some his fans over something he said recently on Instagram.

Timaya got involved in a war of words with some his fans over something he said recently on instagram.
It all started on September 9, 2014 when the singer posted a picture of himself beside his Mercedes G-wagon, and captioned it: can’t go broke no more. lost the ability to go broke. #neverbowdown #alubarika. #Godsblessings.
Now a couple of his fans thought this was overly boastful, and lashed out at him calling him stingy among other nasty. Knowing Timaya for who he is, he didn’t take it too kindly and lashed  right back calling the fan an idiot,  telling him to go work.
What looked like a minor incident escalated into a messy fight as another party of fans began to defend him and commend his effort, dissing the critics.
In recent times, Timaya seems to have made effort to stay away from controversy, but it looks like his controversial nature keeps catching up with him.
What do you make of this?
The names of both superstars have been put up at the entrance of the prestigous O2 Academy Brixton in London ahead of a major concert this Sunday, Sept. 15

When Davido and Tiwa Savage picked up the 2014 MAMAs 'Artist of the Year' and 'Female Artist of the Year' awards back in June in Durban, some thought they may not have deserved it. But this is why they did!
The names of both superstars have been put up at the entrance of the prestigous O2 Academy Brixton in London ahead of a major concert this Sunday, Sept. 15.
O2 Academy Brixton has long been hailed London’s flagship venue, a must-play for artists and must-visit for music lovers. It has scooped the NME “Best Venue” award on an incredible twelve occasions between 1994 and 2007, proving its popularity with fans and the media alike and in 2009, received the Music Week ‘Venue Of The Year’ Award. With a capacity of almost 5,000, it is truly one of a kind on the circuit and combines the feeling of an electrifying arena sized atmospher.
Davido dropped the bomb on his Instagram Wednesday afternoon posting an image of the legendary building carrying his and Tiwa's names with the caption:
"Moments like this are worth more than money!! Live at the Brixton Academy this Sunday!!!!!"
This marks the first time both stars will perform at O2 Brixton and perhaps sends a strong message to the rest of the world that Nigerian artistes are as big as their Hollywood counterparts.
Gone are those days when African artistes couldn't get a spot to perform at the O2 - which is one the biggest platforms to host any artistes in Europe.
However, Davido and Tiwa now join the likes of PSquare, D'banj, Wizkid and the Mo'Hits crew to become the few Nigerian stars to hit any of the O2 venues in the past few years.
Davido simply just can't stop winning, now can he?

Well, looks like we didnt have to wait that long!
Check out her rock on the right. Big big congrats to them. See a picture of Toyin Yusuf below...
Caro music crooner, Wizkid has just ditched his signature look for a more daring one. He shared a picture of himself wearing what seems like dread locks and captioned it with: ‘Good Morning people. Happy Kid’. A few of his fans have since registered thier displeasure at the new hairstyle while some say they like it. Check it out below!!!

What do we name his new hair style?.

Premium cognac brand, Hennessy has announced Africa’s biggest music icon, 2Face Idibia and internationally recognized StarBoy, Wizkid as the Hennessy Artistry 2014 headliners officially kicking off this year’s Artistry campaign.

The popular music platform known for its art of blending has featured some of the biggest names in the Nigerian music industry and 2Face and Wizkid will be joining the iconic list of the Hennessy Artistry Alumni.

This year’s Artistry represents a blend of the matured, premium lifestyle and the young, vibrant lifestyle, which is generally classified as “new school”.

“This year is going to be massive! It’s the Hennessy Artistry 2014 and I am privileged to be working with legend, 2Face Idibia. I’m so excited and can’t wait to get into the studio with him.” Wizkid says.

2Face says, “I’m proud to be on Hennessy Artistry 2014… Great things this year!”
Brand manager for Hennessy Nigeria, Lere Awokoya comments, “Selecting these internationally recognized superstars for Hennessy Artistry 2014 was definitely a great choice. They both appeal to different kinds of fans and having 2Face and Wizkid release their first-ever collabo will definitely shake the African music scene.”

He continues, “Our headliners for 2014, 2Face and Wizkid greatly represent what Hennessy Cognac symbolizes which is the premium luxury lifestyle, fun and success.”

2Face and Wizkid will later this month release their first ever collabo track for this year’s Artistry and with the massive excitement for the project.
Davido strikes again!! The unrelenting popstar who has laid claims on the year of 2014 with hit after hits is offering another sick piece in alliance with Ivorien jam master DJ Arafat. Naughty is an explosive fusion of Afro-pop and Ivorien Decale style of music. While Davido comes nice on the vocals that make up verses and the hook, Arafat is totally losing his mind on the his bridge. Its produced by Boddhi Satva, so you know who to shout out to when the contagious instrument puts you in  a trance. Now waste no further time and bump to this. 

These pregnancy rumours come at the heels of speculations that she may also be engaged

Michael Jackson's only daughter Paris Jackson could be pregnant!

According to reports, paparazzi busted the 16-year-old on a dinner date with what they thought looked like a baby bump.

These pregnancy rumours come at the heels of speculations that she may also be engaged.

Paris was seen looking at engagement rings with her alleged boyfriend few weeks ago.

Paris returned home to her family in Los Angeles last July, after she tried to take her life almost a year back.

She has stayed away from the spotlight for the past year while attending therapeutic boarding school Diamond Ranch Academy in Utah.

She was spotted back in July 2014 in Los Angeles holding tight to a mystery male friend many think is her boyfriend.

Popular singer 9ice has finally made official his decision to enter politics.
9ice, whose real name is Abolore Akande, has been a very quiet face in the music industry.
He posted a campaign picture of himself dressed in a white agbada and seated in a white chair, with the caption, “Federal House of Rep 2015. Ogbomosho North/South/Orire Federal Constituency.”
He, however, didn’t mention what political party he would be representing.
What do you think? Can 9ice win?
Ruggedman is one of those entertainers who has had his fair share of beef and controversy in the entertainment industry.

Speaking exclusively with NET, when asked if the current beef between Wizkid and Davido is good for the image of the industry, he said ‘What two artistes feel for each other cannot affect the image of the industry. The real actions I believe will affect the image of the music industry is a crime committed by an artist. What they feel for each other only affects their image.’

When asked which is his favourite, the rapper, who rode to fame on the controversial but industry-redefining ‘Ehen Pt 1′ admits it’s difficult to choose. ‘I can’t pick one. I love the talent, great songs and drive they both have. If they choose to have a little friendly competition thing going it’s cool. It will drive them to do more and better. As long as they don’t get it twisted. It’s supposed to be friendly competition.

The Koko Master is rumoured to have popped the question after his ladylove flaunted her huge diamond ring.

If these new photos are anything to go by, then it seems Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo aka D'banj may have finally popped the question to his pretty sweetheart, Adama Indimi.

Adama and D'banj have been flaunting their relationship to all who cared to see, and insiders claimed that the pair may be heading to the altar very soon.

The light-skinned beauty posted a picture on her Instagram handle with a suspicious bling on her ring finger, sparking rumours of an engagement.

Adama, the daughter of billionaire, Alhaji Mohammed Indimi is said to be gradually warming up to the Oyebanjo family, even attending the 61st birthday ceremony of D'banj's mother.

Could it be that the Koko Master who was rumoured to have dated Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji, has finally proposed and is now officially off the market?

Time will tell
