Mike Dean, Manny Fresh, Hit Boy SC, Dbanj & Pusha-T

Where has Dbanj been over the past few weeks?

Well he’s been working on his video for Oliver Twist, and hasn’t been in the country.

It looks like he was able to get a good number of international acts together to join him in the Oliver Twist video. From what we can spot we’re guessing Kanye West, Will.I.Am, Big Sean, Manny Fresh, Pusha T, Hit Boy, SC & Mike Dean will all make appearances in the video. Oh yeah we also heard Noni Zondi is supposed to make an appearance too… We def wont mind if that’s true.

Can’t wait. Check out some pics

According to eye witnesses, trouble started when the popular ‘Area Fada’ insisted that he bring his pet python ‘Abiku’ to the judges’ table. This unusual request did not go down well with the organisers who tried to talk sense into Charly Boy to no avail. At this point, the smooth talking musician and Idol judge Jeffrey Daniel tried to wade into the matter by calming down his fellow judge.

The snake’s box suddenly flew open as the python raised his head charging at the cameras as the shocked crew took to their heels. It took the tender loving care of CB himself who chased after the enormous snake to calm it down. After a slow massage that took 10 minutes and tender words of love, ‘Abiku’ finally calmed down and went quietly into her box. Charly Boy finally sat down at the judges table to carry out his duties as Nigerian Idol judge.
The organisers of the competition have failed to comment on the issue. However, we will continue to keep an eye on this show which appears to be stock filled with drama, action and lots of music!

A few months ago rumours began to swirl that Wizkid was recording new music/signing a deal with Senegalese American Akon. Well it appears the rumours are true cos last night an unfinished snippet of Don’t Dull Remix dropped on DJ Fresh (of JamJam & Fresh Show) blog.
It’s just Akon’s verse and it’s still samklef noni on the beat…I’ve listened to it a few times but I am yet to feel it...Maybe i’ll feel differently when wizkid's part is added.
Still Wizkid is getter bigger, when he performed at the Felabration 2011...it was fire!!!He has so much star quality.

The list was compiled by Forbes contributor, Mfonobong Nsehe. In the introduction for the list, Mfonobong outlines the criteria.

“Determining the celebrities who exert the highest degree of influence in contemporary African pop culture involved sifting through the nominations for the individuals with the highest numbers of votes, and then measuring their media visibility (exposure in print, television, radio and online), number of web references on Google, TV/radio mentions and their general clout across the continent. Ideally, a robust social media presence would have been an invaluable yardstick in determining the intensity of influence these individuals exert over their enthusiasts.”

What do you think?

Chocolate City Rapper, Ice Prince releases his debut album with heavy anticipation from fans. Ice Prince has been doing his thing on the mic, but he broke into the mainstream public with his hit, Oleku with featured Brymo. The song became an instant hit.

He followed it up with Superstar which also enjoyed similar success. Over the past year, it seems that Ice Prince has been on everyone’s playlist,Features, singles, videos. I guess you can really say, Everybody Loves IcePrince.#ELI

The album  tells the story of Ice Prince in different tracks. The party songs are there, and so are the deep ones. It features artists Yung El, J-Milla, WizKid, 2face, WizBoyy, Sean Terro, Morell, Samklef and of course his fellow Choc Boiz Brymo, Jesse Jagz & MI.

Album is out in stores, and online at notjustok.com & truspot.com

Meanwhile if you are in Lagos on 9/10/11, you can catch Iceprince and other acts at the Eko Hotel for his album launch concert!!!

We can tell you, that the separation of KcPresh is bringing about new developments to the entertainment industry and the general public, as we gathered from a reliable source, that Kingsley Okonkwo[Kcee] is now fishing in Nollywood waters.

The movie is said to have a rich cast featuring Genevieve Nnaji, Mercy Johnson alongside top Nollywood actors and actresses. The movie is said to be about a twisted love story gone wrong, and all parties are getting ready to go on location a couple of weeks.
Kcee recently on his twitter handle,@KceeO has been tweeting about him experimenting with new things, in his career.
One can’t wait to see Kcee show another creative part of him although we seriously doubt that we will be entertained except having a good laugh at his acting attempt.
