The things God has taught me in recent times…

Entertainment and politics are two different worlds on their own, but in Nigeria, I fear they might end up on the same road. And why is this so ?

Right from the political era of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Akitu Abubakar, President Musa Yar’dua, and a host of top politicians, most of these men have been running and ruling the Nigeria Politics since the 1990s’ till date , thereby not leaving any political seat for young blood to take over from the post they so much cherish. I guess this disputes the say that “the future is in the hands on the youths “.

Now, this brings me back to the entertainment sector in Nigeria, from the likes of 2face, Idris Abdulkarim, Tony Tetuila, Olu-Maintain, P-square (though now separated), and a bunch of other old successful Music gods that have been in the music game for long and not even ready to retire, which on the long long obstructs ways for young and ‘weak’ singers in the music line.

Yes! you will say what about the likes of Davido and Wizkid that are making it big even while these old artiste are still there.

Davido is an hard working youth from a rich background (Opportunity meets money), Wizkid was groomed by Banky W, and Banky gave Wizkid lots of opportunities and that is why Wizkid will always include Bankys name when writing his success stories. This is just one positive case in out of  a thousand negative cases in the industry.

Other artiste that have made it don’t have the time to groom upcoming artiste and why is this so ? This is because they still all want there names in the entertainment line thereby slimming the chance of that young artiste to become big.

Recently M.I released a song titled “You Rappers Should Fix Up Your Lives“, if you don’t still have that you can “Download HERE”.

The songs spoke about why M.I can’t retire from the Music scene yet, ‘cus most of these upcoming aren’t well groomed, they only tend to release songs that last just few weeks on the air waves and that is all.

As a music critic, the problem isn’t the young singer, but the old singer who has refused to teach the young singers on how to take over from them in the entertainment world, BUT NO! Everybody still love the Fame, Money & Paparazzi, just like the Nigeria Politics

This has been my fear for the music industry in Nigeria, it might not be that obvious now, but believe me, it is metamorphosing and I really hope the industry realizes this before it is too late. #GroomTheYoung

Nigerian rapper, M.I Abaga ruffled some few feathers when he released his sing, “You Rappers Need To Fix Your Lives”. Vector was one of those who wasn’t too pleased with some of the lyrics of the track and he has finally revealed why he is angry with M.I. According to Vector, he is update that M.I bluntly stated S.A rappers were better than Nigerians. Speaking on his hurt, Vector said;

“No matter how much your parents flog you, they will not tell outsiders that you are a stupid child. He doesn’t have to say it openly that SA rappers are ‘killing’ Nigerian rappers. I have never said this before, but the simple truth is that we shouldn’t wash our dirty linen in public. It is fine to discipline people at home and I support that. If your children mess up, you can discipline them. “When Jay-Z released the Death of Auto-Tune, he addressed everyone and said they should all go back to rap music. He didn’t say a group of rappers is doing better than one group. I didn’t like the fact that he called out Nigerian rappers openly and was comparing us with SA rappers.”

 On why he is yet to collaborate with M.I, he said;

 “We tried to work together on two different occasions, but it just didn’t happen. The first time was when he sent a beat to me to work on and he was supposed to be on the remix of my song, King Kong. Classiq later took his verse and did very well. We can still do something together later in the future. It is music; it is nothing serious,” he noted.

Media personality, Toke Makinwa, took to Instagram to share photos of herself rocking N1.1m Gucci Flora print silk pajama, and revealed that she was among a few notable women who were honored on Friday by the brand. Also flaunting her natural hair in the photos, the 33-year-old wrote: ‘Last night Gucci honored a few good women who “Bloomed despite the odds” this year and I was one of them. Thanks guys.’ On Gucci website, a pair of pants goes for $1,300, while the matching top sells for $1,750. See more photos below..



               

            
Superstar Davido has downplayed insinuations and rumours that he is at war with some colleagues in the Nigerian music industry. There had been indications of a supremacy battle between the DMW boss and Starboy Wizkid.
