This is why Beyonce Featured Wizkid & Other African Artists On Her Album

Posted: 18 Jul 2019 01:00 AM PDT


American singer, songwriter and actress Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter has explained why she featured Shatta Wale and other African artists on her new album.
According to the 'Halo' hitmaker, she was looking for the most interesting and talented African artists, hence her decision.

Beyonce added that authenticity played a vital role in the selection of African artists and producers to correspond with the theme of the album.

"This is a sonic cinema. This is a new experience of storytelling. I wanted to do more than find a collection of songs that were inspired by the film. It is a mixture of genres and collaboration that isn't one sound. It is influenced by everything from R&B, pop, hip hop and Afro Beat.


I wanted to put everyone on their own journey to link the storyline. Each song was written to reflect the film's storytelling that gives the listener a chance to imagine their own imagery while listening to a new contemporary interpretation.

It was important that the music was not only performed by the most interesting and talented artists but also produced by the best African producers. Authenticity and heart were important to me", Beyonce stated.

Shatta Wale is the only Ghanaian musician that was featured on Beyonce's "The Lion King: The Gift" album
Other African artists who were featured include Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Burna Boy, Tekno, Yemi Alade and Mr Eazi.

Ghanaian and Nigerian producers, also produced some of the songs and on Beyonce's album.

Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe has sent a message to those who attribute her success to 'sugar daddies'.

Recently, Aigbe shared a photo of her boarding a train in a foreign county and announced that she is hustling and no one is noticing how she makes her money but when she shows off her properties, they will be quick to tag her as a sugar baby to a governor or president.


While Mercy was trying to prove that she is a hustler, her dressing and pose said different. Not only did she look every shade of beautiful, she looked many years younger and could have easily passed for a young lady in her 20s.


Her post reads:

I am hustling now oh!!! They are not seeing me!.., when I post my estate , they will open their yeye mouths to say 'one governor' abi 'one president' bought me my mansion, my cars, my estate etc trying to belittle my hardwork!…. my prayer point is father every evil, useless mouth that will want to rubbish your blessings in my life, may Holy Ghost fire strike them and may they continue to toil without nothing to show for it in Jesus Name!……If this prayer is for you may it locate you sharply 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Blessing Osom exposes secrets of Tonto Dikeh

Posted: 17 Jul 2019 06:00 AM PDT

Tonto Dikeh never had food in her house for herself, she was always depressed


Blessing Osom, a former friend/bestie to Tonto Dikeh has shared more shocking details about her enstranged relationship with the actress.

Blessing Osom made headlines a few days ago after taking to Instagram to thank Tonto's ex-husband Olakunle Churchill for giving her N3m to celebrate her birthday.

Now, she's spilling alot about her relationship with Tonto revealing how the actress used to be depressed and how much she's had to borrow her money.


Read Below:

When people talk about running away from friends like me, i'm amused, but i doubt Tonto Dike will ever have a friend like me. I refused to discuss my issue with Tonto because I wanted to be matured about it. I think there is need to clarify issues for concerned parties.

A year ago I posted a picture of my meal on my DM and Tonto commented about coming to eat and also added she would like us to talk about doing business together. I responded to the Dm by saying it's fine. Hours later, Tonto drove in with a friend and we had lunch. She made mention of her doing an empowerment program which they needed money, but because the event was close and in two days, i was only able to raise 500k which was the only funds used for the event.

Till date,Tonto has not empowered the graduating students. Tonto also told me she needed money for rent because of the pressure she was getting from the facility management, I had to introduce her to someone who helped in sorting the rent and the person was constantly giving her millions of Naira.

Tonto never had food in her house for herself and workers asides her son's food. I made sure that we constantly sent food to her house and never allowed her to cry as she was always depressed. I was a friend that left my car for Tonto because she never had a good car to befit a celebrity as she claims.

Please ask Tonto if she had ever used her money anytime we were out together? She will always bring up excuses like…" I forgot my ATM or my PA didn't come out with my ATM. I knew she didn't have cash and I was always willing to cover her up. Most times when she goes for an event, she will invite all the media houses but will never have any money at hand to pay. At the end of the day, She will move to my restaurant and will ask me to help her pay which I'll eventually pay

Now fast forward to her SA invitation. She had a church invitation but didn't have funds for the trip, I personally took Tonto to church, prayed with her for God to have mercy and turn around things. I personally paid in 4m to her account (i have proof) to facilitate the trip cause it was prayers answered. On reaching the embassy, Tonto was not with her Visa fee.

I knew she didn't have the funds, I paid visa fee for 4 of us meant for the trip and also paid for the VIP lounge which she was not allowed to enter without payment. Prior to this, Tonto borrowed 300k from me which she never paid until we got to SA.

I personally brought my designer bags, cloths, Jewelries for Tonto to use for the event. After the event, she started giving me attitude just because she never wanted to share any money with me. (take note it was a church event and nothing else) I was never upset with her cause money doesn't matter at all to me. Tonto is a very pleasant person anytime she wants something from you.

After all Tonto did to me, guess what? she went ahead to blackmail me and my restaurant. The same restaurant she was eating from. She went to all the ladies in Abuja including the one that had a restaurant to promote them and also say negative things about my person.
Tonto was basically looking for all my enemies to make friends with. I did not complain?

So why is she and some people upset because i am friends with Churchill? I can never inherit Tonto's enemies because i know she's not a good person. While we were friends, I know Tonto has a lot of fake account which she uses online to insult people she has issues with. I read comments of people online saying i am bad, that i am jealous of Tonto and also sleeping with Churchill!

Hey am too busy for such.Please LET US BE CLEAR ON THIS, Tonto never introduced me to Churchhill, he came on his own with his friends to eat in my restaurant. This happened before she tried being friends with me just to use me. It was my birthday and for God's sake " A gift is a gift". Tonto is used to paying people evil for good, but I know that God in heaven isn't asleep, he will surely pay both of us back in our own coin. Let him be the judge. I rest my case.

Yvonne Nelson ‘I regret not being serious in my education’

Posted: 17 Jul 2019 04:30 AM PDT


Yvonne Nelson has some regrets about her years as a student, and it is about not being serious with her education.
The Ghanaian actress and Mother of one in an interview with Joy FM, narrated how she had little time for her books after getting a spot in the entertainment industry.

She further explained the challenges she faced in making out time to re-sit for some papers, after she failed her Senior High School (SHS) examination.

"I would go on stage every Saturday in SHS. I had to rewrite some papers. I was so into entertainment that I didn't take my schooling serious. You can easily mess up and not make it to university. I regret not paying attention to my books so when I see kids of today, I tell them to pay attention to their books," she said.

Yvonne Nelson also stressed the need to climb the educational ladder, regardless of career path.

"I was in Central University. And it wasn't easy mixing sets with classes. I had to make up my mind. It was tough. Nigerian producers were giving me juicy offers and I was torn between accepting the offers or not. But, I had to focus on school and I was so happy to have graduated, I didn't want to defer," she added.

Ubi Franklin - ”The way I have had my kids is not the way I wanted them”

Posted: 17 Jul 2019 01:30 AM PDT

Ubi Franklin - "The way I have had my kids is not the way I wanted them"
Ubi Franklin recently had an interview with OAP, Daddy Freeze, where he opened up about his relationship with his ex-wife Lilian Esoro, how he met his second babymama, his relationship with ex-BBNaija housemate, TBoss and as well as his journey to fatherhood.

Ubi during the interview revealed he has a very cordial relationship with Lilian. When asked if he misses her, he stuttered and said it was a difficult question to answer.

He also revealed how his second baby mama, Nicola Siyo, became his staff.

"My ex that just had a baby. we were dating before she started working with me. We were dating and one day I was on the phone trying to get a good communications person and she had already worked with a communications department in a multinational company in South Africa and she said I could help you do a few things while you look for the person to do it which is not bad. After that, she started working with us. We were dating before she became my staff because I felt she had a particular skill I needed. She was someone that could understand and listen to me at a particular time to do the job. She is a great person. Not every relationship will end in marriage" he said.

He went on to say that the way he has had his three children from three different women isn't the way he planned to have his children.

Honestly, I want to say it today the way I have had my kids, the three of them, is not how I would have loved to have them. I prayed to God for four kids, I have three now. I would have wished that they were all together in the same home but you see, things happen. I don't regret anything"
