‘I don’t joke around with my money’ – Falz shuts down show promoters
2:17 AM |
In a disclaimer, the rapper shut down an advert making the rounds by some show promoters.
‘It has come to my observation that there is a certain promotion that is ongoing concerning a certain FalzTheBahdGuy in Concert,’ he said in his faux accent.
‘At this point in time I think it’s compulsory for me to place a very cogent and magnanimous disclaimer out there, because some of my lady fans already contacted me that they cannot wait for me to grace the stage.’
Falz, who embarked on his first official UK tour in June 2016 to promote of his second studio album Stories That Touch, further said: ‘But it is unfortunate because, I will not be coming for the concert. The promoters failed to pay my money, and when it comes to my money, I don’t joke around.’
However, TheNETng reached out to a close source of the rapper who dismissed Falz’s statement as ‘not a big deal.’
Suge Knight Is Shot 6 Times At Chris Brown’s Pre-VMAs Party
5:42 AM |__oPt.jpg)
Woah! So much violence!
Suge Knight joined many of the glitterati at Chris Brown’s pre-VMAs party at 1OAK in West Hollywood on Saturday, but it turned violent! At 1:30am, Suge was reportedly shot SIX times, taken to the hospital, and had to have surgery.
He's now in the ICU, but the docs expect him to make a full recovery!
Tyson Beckford, Robert Ri'chard, and Black Eyed Peas' Apple de Ap all said that they were in the club when they heard shots go off inside!
And even after being shot, Suge WALKED outside and sat in a cop car until the ambulance arrived!
Tragically, three other people were shot as well, but they're expected to be just fine.
The investigation is ongoing, but we do know that The Game and his entourage tried to get into the club and got into a fight when he was turned away. It's not clear if there's any connection though. And there are also reports that Breezy was the initial target, not Suge.
D'Banj to Heads for Harare
3:37 AM | |
| 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.

Highlights from One Direction's press conference yesterday
11:20 AM |
In case you missed it (which is very unlikely) and want to feel like you were right there in the room like Caroline was yesterday, here's video of the One D boys announcing the details of their Where We Are World Tour for 2014. They also try on loads of different jerseys and have a kick about. But look, you get to marvel at their hair (which Caroline assures us is amazingly coiffed in person) and see how dreamy Harry is (again, this is word from Caroline's mouth, who you can see if you pause it at just the right moment). But most importantly, they were all wearing the Irish rugby jersey at one point.
Technically we own them now, right?

Sad News: Goldie's Death

Goldie: shocking death
According to PM News, Nigeria’s music diva, Susan Oluwabimpe Harvey, popularly known as Goldie, who died Thursday night may have died as a result of doping complications, close sources to her said.
She died last night at Reddington Hospital, Victoria Island, Lagos, and barely few hours after she arrived from Los Angeles, United States of America.
Goldie’s death was confirmed yesterday by her management via her Facebook Page and Twitter handle. The post reads: “It is with heavy heart that I have to announce to you all that Goldie passed on this night (last night) shortly after arriving Lagos from Los Angeles. May her soul rest in the eternal peace of the Lord… Amin.”
The main cause of her death is still sketchy as at time of filing this report. Goldie was said to have been rushed to Reddington Hospital by close friend, Denrele Edun from her Park View residence after she complained of headache.
But a source close to the music star confided in P.M.NEWS that Goldie died of complications from the use of drugs. “She had complications from the use of dope. I guess things went wrong this time around.”
Another source also told P.M.NEWS this morning that “she had been into this drug stuff for some time now. I believe that contributed to her death.” Goldie, who represented Nigeria at last year’s Big Brother Amplified (BBA) in South Africa, is signed to Kennis Music.
Keke Ogungbe, the President of Kennis Music, confirmed the death of the songstress in a statement this morning. “On behalf of Kennis Music, I’m sad to officially confirm the shocking and untimely passage of Nigeria’s pop star, Goldie Harvey. With a deep sense of loss, we announce the shocking death of our darling music star, Goldie Harvey. Goldie, 31, died on Thursday after she complained of a severe headache at her Park View residence shortly after her arrival from the United States where she went to witness the Grammy Award.
“She was rushed to her official hospital, Reddington, Victoria Island, Lagos, where doctors pronounced her dead on arrival. We consider this period a gloomy moment for us and the entire Nigerian music industry in view of the circumstance Goldie passed away, the abundance of talent she has exhibited in her but eventful music career and the various opportunities her trip to the United States of America would have availed her. She is survived by her father, step- mother, brothers and sisters.”
The remains of Goldie, who hails from Ekiti State have been deposited at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital mortuary.
The deceased attended Green Springs Montessori Primary School and St. John’s College, Palm Grove before moving on to the University of Sunderland where she studied Business Management.
She joined Kennis Music in 2010 and had her debut album, Gold. Some of her hit songs are “You Know It”, “JawoJawo” and DTMB (Don’t Touch My Body).
In her music career, Goldie received 10 awards, including Exquisite Lady of the year, Best Female Artiste award and City People Best Female Artiste of the year.
Goldie became the final celebrity to exit the BBA7 star game house in 2012 as the 3rd runner up.
Well over ten hours after the first reports of the death of Nigerian songstress Goldie’s death, questions still abound over the veracity of the announcement.
Late last night, Nigerian blogger Linda Ikeji Tweeted that that the celebrated Big Brother Africa star had passed on.
“Just heard the most shocking sad news. You guys won't believe this. I'm in shock! Oh God!!!” tweeted Ikeji.
“Shocking!!! Singer Goldie Harvey is dead” she said in a follow up tweet providing a link to her blog.The brief blog post explained that Goldie passed on at Reddington Hospital shortly after arriving from a US Trip. Ikeji quoted Denrele Edun, a close friend of Goldie as the source of the news.
The information went viral, and shortly afterward Goldie’s manager refuted the quote claiming malice on the side of the news bearers.
“My client is well.. Pls disregard d fallacy whereva it emanates from .After hating on a successful person; death seems to b dia next tot. Smh” @teejaysstar tweeted.
Two hours later, a Facebook post attributed to the page administrator, announced to her fans that she pad passed on.
“It is with heavy heart that I have to inform you all that Goldie passed this night shortly after arriving Lagos from LA. May her soul rest in the eternal peace of the Lord - Admin!!” it read.
Adding credence to the death claim was a post by the Daily Times of Nigeria, one of the country’s oldest newspapers, announcing that she had passed on. The paper however quoted Linda Ikeji their source, causing some to be skeptical of the article.
The Managers tweet, coupled with the absence of a formal announcement from Prezzo or Goldies family cast doubt on the announcement. Goldie fans rubbished the reports, claiming it is yet another celebrity death hoax.
And as the debate on truth of Goldie’s passing on continued, condolences from Goldies fans flooded social media.
Michael Jackson's Assistant Sues AEG
2:40 AM |

As Dr. Conrad Murray (who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's case) was reportedly hired and supervised by AEG, the papers go on to ask for unspecified damages from the company.
According to the filings, the plaintiff claims that AEG agreed to pay the crew "up to $7.5 million" for the tour prior to Jackson's passing.
Selena Gomez is moving on after splitting with Justin Bieber
2:17 AM |
On Monday, Nov. 12, the 20-year-old "Love You Like a Love Song" singer walked the red carpet at Glamour's 22nd Annual Women of the Year Awards in New York City, where a source tells Us Weekly she looked "radiant and very happy."
Wearing a white, knee-length Giambattista Valli frock with a deep V-neck and a peplum waist, the Wizards of Waverly Place actress playfully vamped for the cameras.
"She was smiling and laughing between photos and really having a good time posing for the photographers," the witness says of the star, adding that she seemed "bubbly and upbeat" giving interviews. "She looked genuinely happy...not like she was sad or bummed out at all."
Indeed, the December cover girl could barely contain her excitement as she accepted her Woman of the Year award from the magazine.
"I am so honored to be in a room full of women that I can only aspire to be as good as they are one day," she gushed of her fellow attendees, among whom were Chelsea Clinton, Chelsea Handler, Lena Dunham, gymnast Gabby Douglas, and screen legend Lauren Hutton. "I feel so lucky that every day I get to work with interesting people that are way smarter than me, that have taught me so much
"I just want to share with all the girls out there -- you have a voice, you have a chance," she continued. "Just do what you love, whether it's acting or singing and just being true to who you are. The person who has taught me that is my mom. She's so strong and beautiful and has taught me everything."
