Still On The Headies’ Next Rated Award Category.
Mr. Ayo Animashaun and his team at Smooth Promotions are known for pushing the envelopes. Before his Hip Hop World Magazine; the Ikebe Super, Prime People and Classique were the entertainment publications of the good old days but something was missing, none of the above magazines reflected hip hop, a genre of urban music that is shaping the world today. Ayo Animashaun was visionary with his magazine, the man pioneered hip hop publication in Nigeria. Hip Hop World Magazine ins
Headies Award 2015 Review
I am a big fan of Smooth Promotions, a company run by Ayo Animashaun a man with the Midas touch. I have been following Mr. Ayo’s progress from the days of Hip Hop World Magazine, Hip Hop World Awards (now re-branded as Headies). Hip on TV was his brain child and that show changed the way entertainment programs are packaged for TV in Nigeria. And from there he secured a channel on DSTV known as Hip Tv a true entertainment hub for urban contemporary musical and other entertainm
FALZ THE BAHD GUY
He appears familiar right? That is the beauty of resemblance. Falz’s eyes and lips are a link to an older face in Nigeria’s legal arena. Falz born Folarin Falana is a son of Femi Falana one of the most respected lawyers in Nigeria. While his father has made a name for himself through his high profile court cases and his concerns and comments on national issues, Falz’s heart is in entertainment where he currently enjoys the spotlight. In his own words, here is the strategy be
Tunde Ednut’s Jingle Bell Bell Video Review
The video of Tunde Ednut’s Jingle Bell Bell parades the VGBGs- very good bad guys- from the senior “Pastor” Ali Baba whose church members are addressed as Awon omo Wobe, a street lingo introduced into the Naija’s musical lexicon lately by Baado. But this is not a YBNL musical video. The guys on this set are MI the Choc City helmsman, Falz the bahd guy, Orezi from the Rihanna fame. Jingle Bell Bell is a dramatic musical video with a colorful set, the only thing that singles Tu
Tyga Stimulated Video Review
Stimulated video kept me going back to YouTube for more view; it looks like I can’t get enough of this Tyga’s new musical video which features his girl (Kylie Jenner). Stimulated has enjoyed over five million seven hundred thousand views in less than 48hours it debuted on YouTube. The fuss made about the lyrics of the song (They say she young ... I shoulda waited ... She a big girl, dawg ... When she stimulated.) by various online media was what Tyga needed for the perfect ti
Sex Sells And Kylie Jenner Knows Better
Kylie Jenner Sex sells and no country profits more than the United States of America in the packaging of sex for commercial and voyeuristic purpose; here is a piece on Kylie Jenner put together by Keeps Magazine to buttress this line of reasoning. The sexy photo shoot of Kylie who turned 18 on 10th August 2015 can make a man jack off, oh yes, those are 18+ photos. She posed for the pictures while on vacation in St Barts. I guess you know who Kylie Jenner is? Only a few pe

The thespian has chosen to remain in the North Central Nigeria out of love. Akume Akume refers to himself as Abuja/Jos person in response to the question on why he has not moved to
The Alaafin Way
The Alaafin steals the show anywhere he goes with his wives; this is 2015 and it takes style for an elder to be flanked by four beautiful women. And these queens play the part of the African women of the old. They (queens) are glad to be taken and be seen with the King. “The king” in this context would be a superstar, rich and influential; Alaafin of Oyo is an embodiment of the above attributes and more. Men don’t want to be polygamous in Nigeria today; the rivalry on the par

'30 Days In Atlanta' Movie Review
What makes 30 days in Atlanta thick is seeing AY represent Warri and in essence Nigeria in America. The set is Atlanta and AY brings all the elements of a Warri guy into that. It takes more than 30 days of (AY) Akpors’ adventures in Atlanta to be entertained by this flick. Every Nigerian audience of this movie can aspire to command respect and kick it with the best of them in Yankee after seeing Akpos (AY) enjoy a good kiss with Clara (Lynn Whitfield) and Kimberly (Karlie Red

Kespan Maxwell Ya Ba Ni Album Review
Ya Ba Ni Album Review One can’t but fall in love with this chap if only for his resonating soprano which pierces right into the soul, arresting every distraction and submitting one into the realm, yes the realm. Or is it the stringed instrument? What the Hausas call Mole? Fusing it with the contemporary is not only unique but unprecedented. With the Ya Ba Ni Album, Kespan the psalmist and the crooner has shown the stuff he is made of, his ability to display some level of vers
