Dbanj - Banga lee gets mobbed on stage by female fans
6:06 AM | |
| Eja Nla, Bange Lee, Oliver Twist Crooner |
Watch D’banj get mobbed on stage by quite a number of ladies while performing at the Hennessy Artistry club tour held at Club Uni, Ikeja, Lagos on October 5, 2013.
D’banj had the beautiful ladies coming from all angles of the club to get a feel of his ‘music’ as they literally pounced on stage to rock to some of his hit songs like Suddenly, Oliver, Tongolo.
D'Banj to Heads for Harare

| Dbanj at the Hennessy Club Tour |
Uganda's best Bebe Cool will be representing East Africa in a concert that has been dubbed "Battle of Africa."
D'banj was born in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria to a military officer who commanded an artillery regiment and a church dignitary mother who hailed from Shagamu in Ogun State. Due to his father's profession he moved several times within Nigeria and later moved to England.
D'banj was expected to follow his father's military career and was enrolled to the Nigerian Military School at age eleven. However, he resisted the system and dis-enrolled from the school after three years. While at the Military school he was a member of the elite drum corp of the Nigerian Army. From the Nigerian Military School he proceeded to another military owned institution Nigerian Navy Secondary School, Ibara, Abeokuta where he completed his secondary school education.
D'banj was introduced to the harmonica by his late older brother, Femi Oyebanjo, who died in a plane crash at age seventeen. With his love for music being greater than his parents' military aspirations, he struggled for his parents' approval; this can be best heard through an album track, All Da Way from his debut album.
As a tribute to his mentor Fela, D'banj brings Afro-beat to life and into the 21st century with breathless enthusiasm as well as a good dose of humour. His songs are based on his life, often hilarious but with a deeper meaning which documents the struggle of a young Nigerian trying to achieve his dreams. He performs in Yoruba, English and Pidgin English.
D'banj's debut album, "No Long Thing", was released in 2005, yielding several singles, with Tongolo as the lead single. This proved to be his breakthrough single and a hit. It also provided his "Koko Master" persona, with the term, koko, taking on a variety of meanings.
D'banj's debut success led to collaborations with other artists, this includes Dare Art-Alade's album track, "Escalade Part 2" and Ikechukwu's album. D'Banj's single koko was used by the PDP (ruling political party in Nigeria) as its campaign theme for the 2007 general elections.
D'banj's sophomore album "Rundown Funk U Up" which was released in 2006, yielded several singles including the club single, Tongolo (Remix) and the lead single, "Why Me?" This proved to be another hit. MTV Base.
D'banj is a founder of Koko Foundation for Youth and Peace Development. He is also Nigeria's first United Nations Youth Ambassador for Peace. -- MTV Base/Wikipedia/The Herald Entertainment.

Jesse’s manager could not be reached for comments as his mobile phone was switched off. He did not respond to text messages also. Top executive at the label Audu Maikori and another rep for the label Aibee Abidoye could also not be reached as they didn’t reply their E-mails as at the time of this report.
Jesse Jagz, 28, signed unto to the label along with his elder brother Jude ‘M.I’ Abaga in 2008 after the latter became an instant success with his debut ‘Talk About It‘.
Jesse Jagz in late 2009 went on to release his debut ‘Jagz of All Trades’ which spuned the hit songs ‘Wetin dey’ amongst other chart topping songs.

Kanye West Struggling With The Word 'Bitch'
4:28 PM |
"I usually never tweet questions but I struggle with this so here goes... Is the word BITCH acceptable," he wrote earlier today before following up with another question.
"Is it acceptable for a man to call a woman a bitch even if it's endearing," Yeezy's train of thought began after someone questioned him about the use of the word bitch in his music. "Initially was offended by anyone questioning anything in my music," 'Ye admitted in his timeline.
The MC's 20-message dissertation pondered the use of the b-word as well as the taboo N-word in music and society as a whole. The VMA-winning rap artist didn't have many answers, but rather seemed to want to spark a discussion. Kanye even sent out a link to Lupe Fiasco's "Bitch Bad" video, which Lu premiered on the August 22 episode of MTV News' "RapFix Live" before hosting a roundtable discussion about the controversial clip and overall use of the word bitch.
"Is it ok to use bitch as long as we put BAD in front of it? Like you a BAD BITCH," Kanye wondered aloud before he revealed he at times edits his lyrics in an effort to be less offensive. "I will admit that I sometimes go back an omit cursing from my records. I like to use profanity as a tool and not a crutch."
It doesn't seem as if Kanye will shy away from the word bitch on his upcoming Cruel Summer, the G.O.O.D. Music LP. On a song titled "Perfect Bitch," Yeezy toasts to his main squeeze Kim Kardashian, who has said she is flattered by the track.
Near the close of his Twitter-spree, West hadn't come to a conclusion about whether or not people should use the word bitch. "I'm not tweeting to say what we need and what we don't...," he wrote. "I just wanted to think out loud with you guys today."
Do you think we should eliminate the word bitch from our collective vocabulary? Sound off in the comments.

| Rihanna and Oprah |
In an interview with Oprah on August 19th, the 24-year-old singer cried to Oprah and told her that she’s found it in herself to forgive Chris for physically abusing her in 2009.
“I have [forgiven him]. It’s taken a long time,” Rihanna told Oprah during their interview for Oprah’s Next Chapter. Rihanna went on to say she’s happier now that she’s forgiven him. “I was in a dark place and it was coming out in my music, in my clothes, in my attitude.
I didn’t like that feeling. It was heavy,” she said. However, it wasn’t until Rihanna forgave her own father for physically abusing her mother that she was able to forgive Chris. With that being said, RiRi has truly moved on from the hurt and anger she once harbored. “I mean I have to move on,” she told Oprah, crying. But that doesn’t mean she’s fallen out of love with Chris. Rihanna revealed in the interview that she’s still in love with him and that he was the love of her life.
“I think he was the love of my life. He was the first love and I see that he loved me the same way,” she told Oprah. We’re happy to hear that she’s forgiven him and in a happier place. Rihanna was so courageous to open up so honestly to Oprah!
I’m Happy As Long As Chris Brown Is At Peace
Rihanna revealed how deeply she still loves Chris Brown and how selfless she is about it in an interview with Oprah on August 19th! Read on for more details! Rihanna’s been through a lot with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, but one thing’s for sure: she just wants him to be happy.
Even though he physically abused her in February 2009, the 24-year-old singer has forgiven him and only wants him to be “at peace.” Rihanna told Oprah that Chris was dealing with a lot of pain and hurt during the time he attacked her, and that now she just wants him to be happy.
“I truly love him. The main thing for me is that he’s at peace. I’m not at peace if he’s a little unhappy or still lonely. I care. It actually matters that he finds that peace,” Rihanna told Oprah during their interview for Oprah’s Next Chapter.
She also said that even though it’s taken a long time, she’s forgiven him for hurting her. “I have [forgiven him]. It’s taken a long time,” Rihanna said. But even though she still loves him, they aren’t back together. “We’ve built a trust again and that’s it. We love each other and we probably always will,” Rihanna said. Hmm! We were so happy to see Rihanna open up so honestly to Oprah.
Chris Brown Caught Kissing Rihanna
7:23 AM | |
| Chris Brown Caught Kissing Rihanna |
Chris Brown and Rihanna were reportedly kissing in “plain sight of other partygoers” while boating in St. Tropez, France on Sunday July 22!
Chris and Rihanna certainly aren’t hiding their alleged affair while on international waters! A source on the yacht of Malaysian billionaire Taek Jho Low says Rihanna and Chris were caught kissing. They added, “It was a very private party on a yacht, so they were not worried.”
And this isn’t the first time that the former lovers have reportedly reconnected while in St. Tropez!
Page Six reported the former couple was spotted on billionaire Yuri Shefler’s $300 million yacht this past weekend, and they spent the whole time talking and reconnecting! “There were clearly sparks flying between [them],” says one eyewitness, adding that “they seemed happy to be together.”
So where are the photos? A source close to Chris tells exclusively that Chris and Rihanna know how to reconnect without getting their photograph taken! Our source says, “I don’t think they’re going to be photographed together. All his boys are tight and we on that sneaking photo s–t and giving it to y’all. We don’t roll like that. It’s one thing to tell you this and that every now and then, but ain’t no photo s–t poppin’ off. I don’t know about Rihanna’s girls and what not, but I’m speaking on Chris’ side. Feel me? It’s not like this s–t is new. It may be new to y’all, but people in the know been knowing they’ve been seeing each other and what not on the under. Because of who they are and their history and s–t, they gotta be extra careful.”
A previous report suggested that Chris was with girlfriend Karrueche Tran all weekend and a reunion with Rihanna would not be possible, but the opposite is true. Yes, Chris was with Karrueche, but our source reveals that that wouldn’t stop Chris from hooking up with Rihanna!
Kristen Stewart's affair disappoints 'Twilight' fans
6:51 AM | |
| Robert and Kristen |
"Twilight" fans are heartbroken by Kristen Stewart's public admission that she cheated on her boyfriend and co-star Robert Pattinson. Some on Twitter are blasting the actress with no shortage of nasty names, while others are pledging support for Pattinson, calling him "sexy" and promising they'd be faithful.
But the scandal involving the on- and off-screen couple is unlikely to affect box-office returns for the final installment in the vampire-romance juggernaut due this fall, or even harm the image of the 22-year-old actress.
"It could make her actually more alluring," said Ian Drew, a senior editor at Us Weekly magazine, which features compromising photos of Stewart and her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders in its latest issue, out Friday. "It's not like Sally Field did this, so it could actually enhance her appeal and make her even bigger."
Stewart, whom Forbes named Hollywood's highest-paid actress last month, issued an apology to People magazine Wednesday, saying she is "deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected."
"This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob," she said. "I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."
Stewart and Pattinson, 26, have been in a relationship for several years after meeting on the set of "Twilight," in which they play lovers.
Sanders, 41, who is married and has two children, followed with his own apologetic statement to People.
"I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family," he said. "My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world, I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together."
A spokesman for the director confirmed the statement Wednesday. Representatives for Stewart and Pattinson did not respond to requests for comment.
Fans embraced Stewart as human girl Bella Swan and Pattinson as vampire suitor Edward Cullen from the moment they were announced in 2008 as the stars of the big-screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's popular novels. The real-life romance that bloomed between the co-stars only made things more magical for the mostly female fan base.
"The fans are so romantically tied to this movie in both the real-life romance and the on-screen romance, so I'm sure this is hitting them pretty hard," said box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Hollywood.com. "They think of Bella and Edward and Kristen and Rob like family — characters they absolutely love on screen and in real life. For a 14-year-old girl, this is probably heartbreaking. But are girls not going to see the movie because of this? Heck no."
Reports of infidelity could even draw more viewers to theatres for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2," he said: "They might go just so they can be even more mad at Kristen."
Pattinson became an instant heartthrob with his casting as the charming, elegant Edward Cullen. He was included among People magazine's "Sexiest Men Alive" in 2008 and has won similar titles from readers of Glamour and OK magazines.
"The shocking thing is (Stewart) cheated on Robert Pattinson, who is this guy who everyone in the world wants," Drew said.
Fans might feel it when they watch the film in November.
"It sort of intrudes on their universe a little bit," he said. "This is the ill-fated romance from the screen that ended up working on screen and in real life as well. That made it more believable and more sellable, so it punctures holes in that."
Still, moviegoers might find the changed dynamic compelling.
"There's a soap opera going on off-screen, and people love to follow that," Dergarabedian said. "I think it only serves to raise awareness of the movie."

D’banj congratulates Don Jazzy
3:03 PM | |
| Dbanj & Don Jazzy |
D'banj, who reached out to Don Jazzy through the social media platform, Twitter, said; "Congrats to my brother and the best producer in Africa Don jazzy on the launch of his new Record Label, MAVIN RECORDS. Wish u all the best."
In response, music producer and owner of Mavin Records, Don Jazzy tweeted; "Thanks bro. God bless you."
The launch of Mavin Record label came on the heels of alleged underground fight going on between the duo seemingly caused by the signing of the G.O.O.D music deal with Kanye West.
On the other hand, an image which makes caricature of the Mavin crew, allegedly created by K-Switch, D'banj's brother on his Black Berry Messenger(BBM) as his Display Picture(DP), has been passed round the social media platforms.
The image showed the poster of Mavin Record crew being re-done with photo effects and the names changed from Mavin Records to 'Revenge' and the part that read Solar Plexus changed to 'The Avengers'. There were also names replacing those of the crew members underneath the poster, such as; Captain Mushin, Eagle, Hulk, Russian Spy and Thor.
This act according to many has been viewed as childish considering that D'banj and Don Jazzy appeared to be in talking terms as depicted on their Twitter statuses.
Johnny Depp Reveals Which of His Roles Was Inspired by George Bush
2:46 PM | |
| Johnny Depp George Bush |
In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the Dark Shadows star explains why he based his turn as Willy Wonka on the former POTUS
Since first teaming up for 1990's Edward Scissorhands, Johnny Depp and director Tim Burton have crafted some of the most indelible and off-kilter characters in modern cinema. And none has a more interesting inspiration than crazed candy maker Willy Wonka in 2005's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: former President George W. Bush.
"Certain ingredients you add to these characters," 48-year-old Depp -- whose eighth collaboration with Burton, Dark Shadows, hits theaters May 11 -- said during an interview that aired on Tuesday's The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "Like Willy Wonka for example, I imagined what George Bush would be like incredibly stoned and thus was born my version of Willy Wonka." (Watch the interview below!)
Depp, who has also drawn inspiration from Rolling Stones musician Keith Richards (he based Pirates of the Caribbean's Captain Jack Sparrow on him), says that it doesn't take him too long to figure out his way into a character.
"Generally like within the first 10 pages of a script, something clicks, something hits, and you feel like there's something that you can add to the piece that might not have done before," he told Ellen DeGeneres. "And then the images start to come. The look starts to come."
So who -- or what -- was the inspiration for his turn as the sharp-fingered title character in Edward Scissorhands?
"Scissorhands was a combination. It was the idea of like a newborn, really like a newborn seeing things for the first time, and also a dog that I'd had. This dog that I'd had where sort of this unconditional love, this sort purity in my dog, those were his basic ingredients," he explained. "There was something very safe in being that open to things and seeing things as very new."
It seems like Depp and Burton will continue to have a long and prosperous relationship together, especially with good advanced buzz for Dark Shadows. In addition to the three previously mentioned roles, Depp has also worked with Burton in Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Alice in Wonderland.
Perhaps not surprisingly, in a new interview with U.K. newspaper The Sun, Depp claims that he owes his career to Burton.
"Tim had to fight to give me the lead role in Edward Scissorhands in 1990 when I was still unknown, and he's always stood by me, even when things weren't going well later in my career," Depp says. "If it hadn't been for Tim, I would probably be a minor actor working in horror B movies."
He continues: "I owe him so much because he believed in me from the beginning. I would play any role in any film that he asked me to do purely out of gratitude."
So let's hope Burton asks Depp to play the title role in Tim Burton's George W. Bush: The Stoner President of Pennsylvania Avenue. We'd certainly pay to see that.
