September-To-Remember12

September might just be the most important month in the Nigerian musical calendar this year. This September, legends shall justify their existence, show us why they are forces to be reckoned with, show us that experience sometimes is the greatest addition an artist can have to his talent. September might just be the month everyone has been looking towards, a clash of titans and a revelation of musical trojan horses. In September, the world shall have the privilege of witnessing compilations from Nigeria’s biggest and most talented artists.

Wizkid has announced he would be dropping an album, Davido a.k.a Omo Baba Olowo would also be dropping an his sophomore album. These two might have the fiercest rivalry Nigerian music has ever had. They are the Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi of Nigerian music, though Davido is looking like Messi since he’s been bagging all the awards.

Wizkid dropped his Ayo album not too long ago and to be objective the album was nothing compared to his classic ‘Superstar’ album. Rumour has it that he rushed the release of that album in order to get free of the shackles of his ex record label EME. I’m of the opinion that no matter the excuse an artist should not drop weak stuff ,apparently rolling stone disagrees as the album was featured in the magazine. The ‘Ayo’ album has some good songs such as Bombay, In My Bed and a few others but it wasn’t a crazy album in its entirety. This is why there is so much anticipation for his new album.

This has been basically the opposite of Omo Baba Olowo’s recent exploits. Davido can be said to be arguably the most successful Nigerian artist in the last two years without dropping an album. He got all the shows, all the awards and crowned it all with the fan favourite monster jam”Fans Mi’ featuring MMG’s Meek Mill. Davido who a lot of people used to say had no talent and depended on his affluent background has officially silenced the critics and he will give us another dose with his new album in September.

In September also, Nigerians would be treated to a new album from MMMG superstar Iyanya. This album definitely looks like it would be fire with the singles doing so well such as Applaudise and Gift both featuring superstars Diamond of Tanzania and Don Jazzy. For Iyanya’s new album all we can say is anticipate, his last album was incredible , but it was a D’tunes production. Would iyanya be able to do better without the instrumental maestro?…anticipate.

The next on our list is an artist i believe is one of the most talented in this country. He is non other than the singer rapper producer extraordinaire *drum roll* Jesse Jagz Abaga. Jesse jagz is one of the artists in this country that we can say that no matter the tide no matter the storm, the quality of his content never sinks. He fell out with Chocolate City and went on his own and in one year, gave us two albums which were incredible. Chocolate City re-signed him not to long ago and we saw he’s still got it from the CBN album. Now Jesse Jags his highness shall bless us with another album in September”All hail the king”

Another album we would be expecting is the long awaited Leriq album. The Aristokrat records producer has shown Nigeria that he is one of the best, with or without Burna Boy . The compilation shall feature Africa’s biggest and most talented artists. From Nneka to Cassper Nyovest to Efya ,Wande Coal, Seyi Shay, Bez and so many others. We have heard “Comment Tu T’appelle” we have heard “Say You Love” and judging from just those two, wouldn’t u love to hear the whole album? …..anticipate.

The next album has my heart racing. This is the most anticipated, most overdue album Nigerian music has ever experienced. Wande Coal. Wande coal dropped arguably the best album Nigeria has experienced in “Mushin To Mo-hits”. Since then his career has been so unstable. He has since dropped some very good jams and has his own record label. He hasn’t dropped an album in about 8 years and he is about to drop one and how can we not a anticipate it when the first single from it is “Ashimapeyin”. Wande Coal is truly blessed, he has managed to stay as relevant as possible in the music industry where others would have descended into obscurity. Rumour has it that marketers are fighting to market the album, why wouldn’t they? Wande Coal is going drop this album on us and we would gladly take the. Anticipate September

In September, we would also be seeing an album from another former member of Mo-Hits, D’Banj. Dbanj who a lot of people have said to be gone with the times is going to attempt a come back in September. Singles like ‘Knocking On My Door’ and ‘Extraordinary’ are doing quite well so lets hope for the best.

Alhaji Orezi who says he would compete with the likes of Wizkid and Davido would also most likely drop an album. The alhaji has been doing a extremely well with his singles and one might say this is the best time for him to drop an album.

All we can do is wait, anticipate and clear our playlists because September is really going to be one to remember.

I have my torchlight looking for the artistes that will change their dates based on the extreme competition September will be offering. I WILL NOT HESITATE TO BASH THEM!

Rihanna seeks Ayra Starr collaboration — after working with Tems

Published

By

Rihanna, the award-winning Barbadian music star, says she wants to work with Ayra Starr, the Nigerian singer.

The music stars recently met at the Fenty X Puma party in London, where they both exchanged pleasantries.

During the chat, Starr told the ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker that Barbados, Rihanna’s home country, is her “favourite place in the world”.

Oh her part, Rihanna confessed she had only heard of Starr through her cousin’s obsession with her music.

“I have been hearing of Ayra Starr, I did not know who but my cousin she was like, ‘Oh my God I got this from Ayra Starr.’ She was obsessed with you,” she said.

She also inquired if the Nigerian songstress has a project with Tems, her colleague.

Starr confirmed that collaborations are in the works, but none have been released yet.

Rihanna responded by playfully expressing her interest in collaborating with the singer, saying, “You got an extra verse for me? Call me”.

In 2022, Rihanna collaborated with Tems, who contributed to the writing of ‘Lift Me Up’, the celestial ballad for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.

Starr previously expressed her desire to collaborate with Rihanna, describing the US singer as her “queen”.

She added that she loves her music, stating it boosts her confidence.

Davido, the Afrobeats star, has shown his support for Cubana Chief Priest after the nightlife promoter was granted bail by a Lagos court.

On Tuesday, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives filed a three-count charge against the social media celebrity over alleged naira abuse.

Cubana, born Pascal Okechukwu, is accused of spraying and tampering with the naira at a social event — contrary to the provisions of the Central Bank Act of 2007.

He was later arraigned at the federal high court in Lagos.

When the charges were read during court sitting, the social media celebrity pleaded not guilty to them.

Kehinde Ogundare, the judge, thereafter granted him bail in the sum of N10 million with two responsible sureties in like sum.

The judge ruled that the bail conditions must be perfected within seven days.

Cubana was released to his lawyer who must give an undertaken to produce him later. He will be remanded in a correctional facility if his lawyer fails to do so.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday, the nightlife promoter thanked his supporters for their show of love during the trial.

“Seeing all your messages and love, I am so humbled. Now it is confirmed CP no small. Money na water,” he wrote.

Kai Cenat threatens to sue OnlyFans model, Layla Red who leaked their chats

Published

By

Twitch streamer Kai Cenat is poised to initiate legal action against OnlyFans model Layla Red, who allegedly leaked his private images and messages.

According to the claims, Layla Red released conversations showing Cenat agreeing to pay $5,000 for sexual services, leading to her Instagram account being suspended soon after. Addressing the matter during a recent Twitch stream, Cenat assured his viewers that he would tackle the issue through legal means, maintaining his composure throughout the broadcast.

In his first appearance on Twitch following the scandal, Cenat remained unruffled by the allegations, confidently informing his audience about his plans to pursue legal recourse. “There is some dumb shit, clout-chasing weird ass shit going on right now bro. But it’s alright though, it’s alright chat. I’ll see you in court,” he announced.

Cenat also expressed a desire to clear up the situation, urging his viewers to hear his side of the story. “Got you! Okay? Listen to me, okay? I can explain, bro. Listen to me chat, okay, I can explain,” he remarked during the stream. He described the leak as an attempt to gain notoriety, noting that the referenced incidents took place early in 2023.

“There is some weird shit going on right now, some weird clout chasing shit going right now, bro. And you know what’s so crazy? Do you know that shit was in the beginning of 2023? All that shit that you guys see right now is 2023 shit bro, you feel me? Like, goddamn, bro,” he explained.

Shifting away from the controversy, Cenat later encouraged a lighter tone in the conversation. “But yeah, we are not going to talk about it no more. Let’s talk about flowers, rainbows, Ice Spice, come on,” he suggested, steering the dialogue away from the contentious issue.

If the case proceeds to court, it could potentially be treated as a matter of revenge porn, which involves the unauthorised distribution of intimate images or videos with the intention to harm, embarrass, or distress the individual depicted.

Should it be proven that the images and messages were shared without Cenat’s consent and intended to damage his reputation or cause distress, it could fulfil the legal requirements for a revenge porn case. Further evidence of malicious intent or exploitation by Layla Red could also strengthen this claim.
