Peter Okoye may have been impressed by the N300m (still find it hard to believe that’s really the price) champagne he got as a gift from luxury designer, Alexander Amusu, but not his brother, Paul.

A few hours after Peter posted a photo of himself with the luxury drink on Wednesday, Paul updated his BB PM, writing – ‘I rather take a pic with a bottle of coke…than that shit!’ Lol. See it after the cut

The Refugee ambassador, bussiness woman and actress rocked her new look in a photoshoot for fashion magazine, Fun & Fashion magazine. See more photos after the cut…

This is so cool!
The move was reportedly made by Jazzman Olofin, who was said to have visited Mr. Femi Davies, a top journalist and online publisher to complain about the way the people around are treating the issue of the prolific producer/singer.
Miffed by the report given, Femi Davies, we were told, intensified effort to liaise with another top journalist, Mr. Wale Olaleye, This Day Political Editor and he was said to have asked Mr. Davies to come forth with a formal letter of request to be forwarded to Governor Amaechi.
Reports say as soon as the letter got to the embattled governor, he signed it and ordered the state to pay as soon as possible.
Oh by the way, he escaped death yesterday as a suspicious car rammed into his vehicle!




The Rivers State Governor miraculously escaped unhurt as a suspicious vehicle rammed into his convoy along Igwuruta road on the Governor’s way to the Port Harcourt International Airport.
According to eyewitness account, the accident was caused by the intrusion of a Toyota Avensis with registration number AAA 767 AQ that rammed into the Governor’s convoy from the opposite side of the dual carriageway, just after the C4I Security Post along the Port Harcourt International Airport Road.
Fortunately no life was lost and the driver of the vehicle was apprehended and handed over to the police.

Don Jazzy was the first person to get the over N300million Goûtdediamants champagne from luxury designer, Alexander Amosu, now Peter Okoye has his own complimentary Taste of Luxury.

Alexander Amosu recently created the world’s most expensive champagne called Taste of Diamonds, valued at 1.2million pounds (Read about it here). It’s £1.2m and they are just giving it away? OK! :-)

Popular rapper, Ruggedman, who shot into the limelight by taking a swipe at Eedris Abdukareem, Maintain and others has again lambasted some of his colleagues who have kept quiet over their alleged false donations to the ‘Save OJB Jezreel’ campaign.



There have been reports and counter-reports that some celebs have made donations towards raising the needed N16million for the treatment of the music producer, which the organising committee in charge of the campaign has debunked.

There were reports that Ini Edo paid the sum of N2million, D’Banj (N7million), 2Face (N1.5million), Olamide (N1million) and Ice Prince (N500,000), which the committee claimed are not true.

Last weekend, it was also rumoured that due to the false reports about these donations, the Lagos State government reportedly withdrew its support towards the cause.


Worried by this development and the inability of the managers of these celebs involved in this matter coming out to clear the air on the issue, Ruggedman has vented his anger and has termed the above celebs as “liars”.

The rapper posted online:

“Mr celebrity, if u r mentioned as donating money to #saveojbjezreel n its false u r as bad as d liars if u dnt come out n clear it. Miss celebrity,if u r mentioned as donating money to #saveojbjezreel n its false u r as bad as d liars if u dnt come out n clear it.”

Mercy Aigbe, was Labi Layori’s guest on TVC’s Entertainment Splash today – it was a beautiful show. Mercy simply looked stunning and so did Labi – the host.
Mercy answered so many questions from fans ranging from her marriage, to her alleged scandal, movies, children, blah blah and then someone asked if she had donated to the #saveojbproject(you remember this project right?) lol, she didn’t expect the question but she kinda tried manoeuvring her way round it. Labi Layori understood and said “You have not donated abi…so her answer is no”
Eh, before you ask me, how is this news? The thing is, it baffles me seeing that there is no love in the entertainment industry – N16million?! for frying out loud, 10 celebs can donate that money with ease….yet the money is yet to be raise and it’s running into weeks now.
Oh by the way, who has any idea of how many awards Mercy Aigbe has won (has she even won any?) cos she said she has won many awards but couldn’t mention any, she only listed the ones’ she’s being nominated for – City people awards etc….

Over the weekend, we watched a video where the Kukere crooner claimed in a freestyle on the Tim Westwood show that his affair with Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson was just a fling. Iyanya sang:

    All I want is your waist, no emotions, no tears, no letters, no love, no nothing. All I want is your waist, she ain’t even know it. She brought emotions.

Well, he might not have been honest about his feelings for her after all. Iyanya actually got a tattoo of Yvonne Nelson’s initials YN on his wrist while dating her last year. Awww, cute! Peep it on his left wrist above and check out the clearer photos after the cut…

Popular producer, OJB Jezreel who is suffering from Kidney failure and needs transplant definitely has made an impact in the music industry and many artistes who are successful today started their careers with him.
Check out the 5 artistes he helped jump start their careers below
1) 2face Idibia- 2Face was already a known star as a member of the 90’s/00’s R and B group The Plantashun Boyz. 2Face’s star power in the group was so great that everyone knew it was a matter of time before he went solo. In 2004, 2face struck out and went solo.

He sought the production prowess of OJB Jezreel who was the hottest music producer in the country at the time for his highly anticipated debut album. For months they slaved on songs that would end up on 2Face’s instant classic solo debut album Face 2 Face. The album catapulted 2Face into superstardom. In 2007, 2Face hooked up with OJB Jezreel again. The huge success of his sophomore Grass 2 Grace proved that you never change a winning formula. 2Face’s first two albums are widely regarded as his best LPs in his rich discography.



2) Rugged Man- Rugged Man had been lurking in the underground scene for years. Tired of the mainstream rap music he heard on radio courtesy of Eedris Abdulkareem and Rasqie he went to OJB’s Silver Point Studios to record the classic ‘Ehen’ diss track featuring Nomoreloss. The song spread like wild fire and galvanized the underground rap community.
Rugged Man wasn’t through with the diss tracks. ‘Peace or War’ and ‘Big Bros’ completed his diss trilogy aimed at wack rappers, their fans and record labels that pushed them. Thanks to OJB’s production, Rugged Man became the new champion of rap music in Nigeria. He released his debut album 2 years after ‘Ehen’- 2004. Thy Album Come featured production from OJB and other Silver Point associate producers. Thy Album Come is perceived as one of the most influential rap LPs in Nigerian rap history.



3)D’Banj- Most people think Dapo Oyebanjo’s music career started when he met JJC Skillz in London. D’Banj’s entrance into the music game goes a bit farther than that. In 2002, D’Banj recorded his first song ‘Kiss Me Again’ featuring Rugged Man. The song was produced by Jigga (OJB’s alias).
The song wasn’t a hit but it got a few spins on local radio. Buoyed by the little positive response the song got, D’Banj moved to the UK to pursue his dreams. He came back 2 years later with an unknown producer who would take over from OJB Jezreel. His name is Don Jazzy.



Durella- By 2008, D’Banj who started his career with OJB Jezreel had become a superstar. An unknown act named Durella whose style was similar to D’Banj’s knocked on OJB’s door in search of a hit.
OJB Jezreel blessed him with ‘Wiskolo Wiska’ a hard hitting club track. The song became so popular that people thought it was D’Banj who sang the song. Thanks to OJB’s production Durella had made a name for himself. Durella’s career has had more downs than up but a hit like ‘Wiskolo Wiska’ is a sparkling gem in his scattered discography.



Wizkid- If a biopic of Wizkid’s music life comes out, the flick would most likely start with him as a young thin boy watching stars troop in and out of OJB’s famed Silver Point studios.
Years before Wizkid scored his first hit with DJ Klem in the Knight House studio; he was a studio rat in OJB’s studio.

 
Wizkid who was barely in his teens was itching to record songs with OJB as his producer. Most times OJB told him to wait and watch. Wizkid’s recalls that while he was sitting in the studio waiting for his turn he learnt a lot of valuable lessons watching the likes of 2Face and Rugged Man record. It is most likely that Wizkid never released any of his OJB produced songs but the experience he gained chilling in the studio must have helped him become the star boy he is today.

After Ghanaian actress Juliet Ibrahim posted on Instagram yesterday that she knows of a cheaper centre where ailing musician and producer, OJB Jezerel can get treatment  she now says it wasn’t with bad intentions.

Juliet had written that a kidney transplant doesn’t cost more than $50, 000 and doesn’t understand why people raising funds for OJB are requesting for $100, 000.

According to a release by her publicist, Juliet says:

    ‘I was utterly misconstrued with my tweets on OJB’s treatment, I honestly didn’t mean cheap, I meant at a reduced cost with better treatment.

    Currently I have 2 relatives living with kidney failure whom I’m responsible for and caring for, thus, I’m no stranger to whatever OJB is going through.”

    “I don’t mean for my tweets to be misconstrued and I won’t take OJB’s health problems with levity as many have misconstrued me.

    All I was trying to do was bring an idea of where we can get the transplant done since it’s utmost necessary we get it done soonest and funds ain’t coming in as much expected. Thus, I thought we could try a better and certified centre which isn’t as expensive as the current one in UK when there are several cheaper countries to perform the surgery.

    Also instead of people lashing out on celebrities, they should rather be asking the government to help.

    “It should be further noted that we are all finding a lasting solution to help end the pain of the talented entertainer and bring smile to his face once again and not generate issue out of someone’s suggestion or hand of help.

Here’s the letter Juliet had written yesterday, blasting everyone supposedly harrassing and insulting celebrities about getting OJB help.

Another indication that D’banj, the Kokomaster, is the king of Nigeria’s new generation musicians has again emerged as the Oliver Twist hit maker just hit a mouth watering deal with leading telecommunications firm, Etisalat as a “super” brand ambassador.
I hear  D’banj was paid 5 times what other Naija artistes get… Wow!!!

I hear a cheque of N250m was issued to him by Etisalat, a company that really wants to re-establish itself as a leader in the industry, after losing its brand face, Saka, to MTN under controversial circumstances.

The deal was struck recently and D’banj has already shot some commercials for Etisalat being prepared for release. D’banj continues to maintain his leadership role in the industry.
Big Congrats to Eja Nla Himself…

So yesterday, word went round that Davido, his brother Adewale Adeleke and his manager Kamal Ajiboye had been arrested in a club in Budapest, Hungary. Over some fake Euro currency they used in paying for drinks.

According to the story, Davido and show promoter Osariemen Ekiudoko Frank had some issues which led to Frank’s refusal to pay Davido his balance.

This supposedly led to Davido being stranded in Budapest as he missed his flight. So, he had to spend another night in Budapest.
Then he and crew decided to go to a party with fake euro notes, given to them by the show organizer only to get arrested by Hungarian police.
They were reportedly later on able to get released, then they took off for Paris. Story, story, story.

Well, according to Davido’s management, Davido didn’t get arrested. And here’s the official statement they sent out to tell their own version of the story.

    It has come to our notice that some unscrupulous rumour peddlers have chosen to malign Davido’s hard work ethic and reputation.

    Davido has been on his European tour for a few weeks and landed in Budapest, Hungary on Friday June 21 for his Budapest stop. He was met with what is perhaps the worst case of unprofessionalism from a promoter in his career as a touring artiste. The promoter in this case is known as Mr Frank of BLACK DIAMOND ENTERTAINMENT.

    To the dismay of his management, the agreements on Davido’s ryder were not met despite assurances written and verbal that everything was set.

    Please note the following facts:

        Against their agreement, Davido and his management were given a one bedroom suite to house them during their stay in Budapest.

        The promoter had issues with the venue for the show. Up until the night of the performance, the venue had not been paid for and Davido’s management were informed that he might not be able to perform on the stage. This was finally sorted a few minutes to the show.

         When it was finally time to perform, the promoter had not arranged for sound and Davido only managed the situation and decided to perform because of his fans that had paid to attend the concert.

        A fight broke out at the club and the promoters did not arrange any form of security for Davido, it was the intervention of the venue security guards that ensured that he got back to his hotel room in safety.

        Davido and his management did not receive any direct payments from the said promoter. Infact the promoter is yet to pay up in full Davido’s performance fees as agreed.

Davido and his management team catered to their every need while in Budapest from their personal funds

Davido’s management wishes to state distinctly and clearly that Davido was not at any point arrested in Budapest, Hungary. He is currently in Paris, France where he is set to perform on the 28th and the 29th of June.

OJB was on air two days ago on TVC in the afternoon with Entertainment Splash presenter Labi. And while on the show, he practically begged Nigerians to save him.

Don jazzy donated N1million., other artistes and celebrities that donated include Ruggedman and few others..

The money needed aint complete yet.. He can barely stand straight at the moment,not to talk of walking and he has just between now and the end of July to have his operation or he will die.The kidney transplant will take place in London because of the long flight to India. We all can help!

Nigerian actress, Laide Bakare, who has been enmeshed in a paternity mess with two men, has finally reacted to the claims by her estranged husband, Olumide Okunfulire, that he would challenge her for a DNA to determine the true father of her new baby.

In an interview with a popular Lagos gossip magazine, City People, Laide Bakare claimed her ex-husband must be “mad and oozing from chronic drunkenness’ for him to have asked her to do a DNA to know who the father of her new baby truly is.

Ordinarily, the actress stated, “I would not believe all the stories of him saying those rubbish in the media,” she said.

Laide Bakare further observed that, “maybe he was being pushed to say those things by those who know nothing about how we lived together or, maybe, they just want to put him in a big trouble.”

She said that if truly Okunfulire asked for a DNA, then she’s daring him to “go ahead if he really meant it but I’m sure he has run mad.”

I didn’t come up with this on my own, this was culled from a popular site and this was it was reported;
The excitement and thrill of hanging out with a celebrity has driven a married woman and a mother of three, Joyce Osifo into the hands of the known David Adedeji Adeleke popularly known as Davido on the 16th of June during a concert in Napel.
Presently, Davido is on euro tour and according to NCN source, Davido knew Joyce through her brother who opened stage before him. Davido came on stage late in the morning, 17th of June, sang few songs and left. Meanwhile sources revealed that the Omo oba was in his hotel rocking his time with the mother of three who is desperate to come to the limelight through her upcoming show “Miss Black Beauty Italy”.

Joyce has three children within the age range of 10, 8 and 6 and she is said to be married. Most Nigerians girls who are married to white men are said to be sleeping around with young black men and sometimes pay them to get laid. Since this is the known tradition, Joyce Osifo added this to her zeal to be out and maybe get Davido to assist in the sponsorship of her event. Let us talk below jor.

Joyce is beautiful and there is no way Davido could remove his eyes from her. What was Davido thinking or the mother of three? Just wondering why Davido posted on his istagram that ITALY WAS CRAZY. What really made it crazy? Is Davido helping Joyce with his upcoming event?
