WizKid Shares Unofficial Track List For Upcoming Album

You already know WizKid is set to drop his sophomore album this year. Actually it was supposed to drop this june but has been pushed back for various reasons. But not to fear, the album is definitely in the works, and WizKid took to instagram to share just a sneak peak of what the album track list looks like.

Check out Mercy Johnson's N15million Lexus GX 460 + visits OJB

Her husband, Prince Odi Okojie, bought her the SUV a few weeks back. Peep the plate number. Meanwhile Mercy Johnson was spotted at OJB's Gbaja residence this afternoon. Heard she made a generous donation to the ailing music producer but didn't want her photos taken. So a photo of her car was taken instead...:-) Also heard that so far OJB has only been able to raise N3million. Don Jazzy, Ruggedman and Mercy Johnson Okojie are the only well known celebs that have donated so far. Though I hear P-Square and their brother Jude Okoye are planning to pay him a visit soon. I'm kinda surprised it's taking this long to raise this money. I can't tell his colleagues what to do with their money, but c'mon guys! C'mon!

Photo: Wizkid replaces his crashed Porsche with a brand new one

Vector at war with his record label, YSG. Arrested twice by his label

One of Nigeria's foremost rappers Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, popularly known as Vector Tha Viper is currently at war with his label, YSG Ent - recently discovered to be a division Young Shall Grow Motors company, led by Obiora Obianodo, (Pictured below) the first son of Chief Vincent Obianodo, the MD of Young Shall Grow Motors Ltd. The disagreement between Vector and his label started a few months back after the rapper complained about his progress-rate and the label's nonchalant attitude towards his career and simply suggested more professional hands be employed to help his career, which the label took as a threat, and when they refused to heed to his suggestions, Vector hired hands he was paying personally. He has been with the label for over four years and never asked to leave, all he asked for according to his camp was more work and results. Things actually got worse after Vector took a self-sponsored vacation to the US and returned to his record boss' anger, claiming he went to the States to sign a record deal. Continue... Weeks after, Vector received and invitation letter from the Commissioner of Police of Lagos state and was summoned to the Area-E command (Festac). On getting there, he was presented with a "breach of contract" petition, claiming that he has engaged external hands to work for him. His parents got involved (as his dad is a retired police officer), and it was settled amicably. Feeling unsafe and threatened, Vector surrendered the car and apartment provided for him by the label and acquired a replacement for himself. Thinking this was over, Vector went about his daily life (as lawyers were already handling the case) till the 10th of June. He was to be shooting his scene of the Ghetto RMX video by Shank, at his childhood neighbourhood (Mcarthy Barracks, Obalende, Lagos), when men of the police force came to seize him and his personal manager (Michael Umoru) and took them all the way back to Festac, this time it was a proper arrest and they were detained from 3pm till 10pm when his lawyers came through. According to sources close to Vector, he has been receiving series of personal threats from the label, and he hasn't felt so safe and really did not want to talk to the press about it. Just yesterday, his twitter account(@vectorYSG) with over 100,000 followers suddenly disappeared, and has been confirmed to be deactivated by his label. Vectors manager says a new twitter handle @VECTORTHAVIPER has been activated and is now his artistes official handle, alongside the launch of his official Website www.vectorthaviper.com. As at the time of compiling this report, efforts to reach his record label has been abortive.

D'banj acquires Suit of Money from Okunoren worth $25, 000

International superstar, entertainer and Oliver Twist crooner, Dapo Oyebanjo popularly known as D’banj is always breaking new grounds in terms of his wardrobe and clothing items. In a recent newspaper interview, he confirmed he wears the same wristwatch as American rapper Jay-Z, valued at $50,000. He has been appointed as the Hennessy Artistry artiste for 2013 and also recently became the Goodwill ambassador for the Bank of Industry. D’banj has continued to rise in stardom despite his split from erstwhile partner and friend, Don Jazzy. He has continued to command huge sums of money in endorsements, appearances and performances thus still making him the highest earning Nigerian artiste of all time. His DKM concert being held on June 23rd 2013 at the Eko Hotel & Suites will feature International rapper, 2Chainz as well as another surprise guest. This increasing earning power has also led to an increase in spending as D’banj just took delivery of what is known as the “Suit of Money”. Designed by Okunoren, Nigeria’s leading clothing brand, the Suit is made of actual One Hundred Dollar bills and cost a whopping $25,000, which is approximately N3.7 million. It was entirely sewn by hand in London but was then taken to Italy for the specialized Milanese buttonholes to be done at the same factory used by Tom Ford. His new song titled Blame it on the Money”, featuring Snoop Lion and fellow Good Music act Big Sean goes further to emphasize his wealth where he states he is unapologetic for being rich, it is set to become one of the major anthems this summer.

"I don't do cheap money" Wizkid tweets

UNILAG students are accusing him of collecting N500k from them for a show and not showing up. I know Wizkid collects about N2m per show, so this N500k he supposedly collected is kinda strange. Both parties can't really talk about the case for now because it's a police matter, but hopefully after they settle, we will find out what really happened.

Drake on Chris Brown Feud: Fighting Over Rihanna "Distracts From the Music

Drake's had his issues with Chris Brown in the past, sure, but it's the attention surrounding the twosome's longtime feud that really upsets him. In an interview with GQ, the 26-year-old rapper calls his feud with Breezy "embarrassing" and dishes on the alleged NYC nightclub brawl that went down in June 2012, reportedly over Rihanna. "I wish we could sit down, just like you and me are right now, and talk it out man-to-man. But that's not going to happen," he says. "I'm not confrontational, but if someone challenges, I'm not going to back down." "Two rappers fighting over the woman. He's not even a rapper, but still, it's the last way you want your name out there," the erstwhile Degrassi: The Next Generation star says, alluding to the now-infamous run-in at W.i.P. club. "It distracts from the music. But he's made me the enemy, and that's the way it's gonna stay, I guess." But Drake can't let himself dwell on his beef with Chris. "If I think about it too much, I feel it wrapping around my foot, like I get a feeling it could end really badly," he says. When the interviewer tries to discern if Drake is concerned for Rihanna's safety or what lengths Chris might supposedly go to in order to perpetuate the feud, he won't clarify. When asked more specifically to explain what he means, Drake only says, "Like, it gets really dark." Not to worry, though: Drake has friends in Hollywood, too. "I had lunch the other day with someone I extremely look up to," he says. "OK—I had lunch with Will Smith and listening to him talk, it made me think I don't know what love is. He said something profound. He said love is when you become one and you need that person. It's not about wanting anymore, you need that person. Hearing that, I don't know if I've ever felt that way." "I've made a lot of music about love being the only thing I'm missing," he continues. "I think this is the first album I've made saying, I'm OK. I'm enjoying it right now. Maybe this is my time to grind it out, make a run for it and add some memories with my boys." Fair enough. And when he is ready to settle on down, there will be no shortage of ladies lining up to be Mrs. Aubrey Drake Graham!
