Victor Olaiya's Son Reveals How Highlife Legend, Was Forced To Work With 2baba

Posted: 16 Feb 2020 09:30 PM PST

The son of the late legendary highlife musician, Victor Olaiya has spoken about how his father was literally forced to work with 2Baba.

Bayode, the son of late highlife musician Victor Olaiya, said his father was forced to remix one of his songs titled 'Baby Jowo' with 2baba because he didn't believe in remixing his songs.

Bayode, who is also a trumpeter and the substantive lead vocalist of the late Olaiya's band, said that before his death, his father achieved his purpose in life.

"I don't think people have unfinished businesses before they die. I think my dad achieved all he wanted to. We practically forced him to do the remix ('Baby Jowo') with 2baba because he didn't believe in remixing his songs. But, he loved some of the present-day artistes and also collaborated with some of them.

" If there was anything he wanted to do, he would have done it. However, he used to go to some orphanages and old people's homes to give them money and other things," Bayode told Punch.


On how he learnt about his father's death, Bayode said,

"My father was such a great man. I was at work when I heard about his death. I didn't believe initially because I had been called like that before about him passing away so I didn't quite believe when I got the news. He taught me to be disciplined and to remember the son of whom I am. While he was alive, he told me his greatest regret was marrying more than one wife."

Describing his father's last days, Olaiya said,

"In his last days, he had a lot of wisdom and took things simply. He encouraged his children a lot. He was also very generous and he helped people he didn't even know."

"My husband was impressed when he met him, that thing that has you nod your head and say 'that's a legit example.' He's going to change lots of things that people would be forced to emulate him.

Yul Edochie replies Fashola: Why Nollywood won’t stop making money ritual movies

Posted: 16 Feb 2020 06:30 AM PST

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has reacted to the statement made by Babatunde Fashola, the Minister of Works and Housing.

The former governor of Lagos State said that Nollywood movies could be fueling kidnapping and ritual killings given the number of persons the police have arrested with human skull and other body parts, with the motive of money ritual.

Yul Edochie had a different view and according to the Anambra State born actor, he is not in support of filmmakers banning such movies because he believes it is all about entertainment and it ends there.
"Sadly at the moment Nigeria is stuck with a crop of leaders who can't move this country forward, rather they look for who to blame for their inefficiency.

" America has been producing action movies with plenty of gun violence since I was born till date, have you ever seen any American leader blaming entertainers for crime in their country? That's because it's all entertainment. It ends there.

" Our government should focus on providing jobs for the youths, spread wealth, improve the economy and security and crime rate will reduce. It's very simple. They should stop looking for who to blame and do the jobs they were voted in to do or resign for others to try. Next thing you'll see them thinking of how to ban Nollywood and render more people jobless," he told Sunnews.

Amber Rose Reveals New Forehead Tattoo of her kids names

Posted: 16 Feb 2020 12:30 AM PST


  • Model Amber Rose recently revealed her new tattoo, consisting of the names Bash and Slash written on her forehead.
  • The names are of Roses two children.
  • Roses current boyfriend, Alexander Edwards, also got a matching forehead tattoo.

This week in celebrities getting tattoos printed across their entire face: Amber Rose.

Rose, who began her career modeling and has appeared in multiple music videos through the 2000s, including ones for Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, and Whiz Khalifa, has inked Bash and Slash across her forehead .

Bash is the name of Roses 7-year-old son, Sebastian, who she shares with Khalifa. (The two divorced in 2016 after three years of marriage.) Slash refers to Roses newborn.

Before Khalifa, Rose dated Kanye West for two years and was with him that night at the MTV Video Music Awards when West memorably stole the spotlight from a 17-year-old Taylor Swift. (Remember? Afterwards, President Barack Obama called West a jackass. Oh, 2009.)

Following Roses tattoo, her boyfriend, Alexander Edwards, a music executive, matched her ink with a pair of birth datesone for Bash and one for Slash, his biological son.

Rose has taken a heap of unfair criticism over the years and been the butt of sexist jokes, particularly by notable Jackass Kanye West . West said in an interview that before he began dating Kim Kardashian, and after breaking up with Rose, he had to take 30 showers.


In 2015, Rose began an annual Slut Walk in Downtown L.A. where 30 showers became a sort of rallying cry among participants, all of whom had marched to show solidarity for women who are judged and sexually demeaned.

Say what you want about Rose's forehead ink, but remember she's her own woman and she can do whatever she wants. ... But, also, like, did she have to use so big a font?
