3Music Awards' CEO – Nigerian artistes have more foresight than Ghanaian musicians

Posted: 31 Mar 2022 09:00 AM PDT

The founder of 3Music Awards says Nigerian artistes "know better" than their Ghanaian counterparts.

He said anytime someone asks him the "difference between Ghanaian and Nigerian artistes", he always say Nigerian acts have more "insight and experience."

Recounting his time as the Country Director of Boomplay, Sadique Abdulai Abu said because of this lack of insight, Ghanaian musicians become jumpy when they are approached with an idea that could help advance them.

"I remember when we started Boomplay, I went to Shatta Wale to acquire his content and then he said we should pay him 1.5 million dollars. I was like, do you know the size of your market; what even entails the size of the business for us to start with that amount? I told him no, it doesn't work like that.

"The average Ghanaian artiste don't have the insight to know or see things when it is coming. So, anything you approach them with, they think you are trying to take advantage of them. So I've learnt not to wait for them."


He continued that if Ghanaian musicians had taken advantage of the benefits of Boomplay, thy would have got more from their work.

"At the time I left Boomplay to focus on 3Music, we had about 11 million users in Ghana. Now Boomplay has about 17.5 million users in the country."

He explained that the hike in the number of people using the Chinese Streaming platform is "because it comes preinstalled on mobile phones" such as Techno, Infinix and Itel.

He added that, artistes have to liaise with an aggregator to get their songs on the platform as they can make a lot of money through "listenership {and} subscriptions" by their fans.

The head of the 3Music Awards indicated that by the time he left Boomplay, the people in the music industry who "didn't want to associate" with the platform are now "chasing us and wanting their content to be put on."

"It can only get worse as the elections are fast approaching & the target will always be Arewa… I would say get your PVC and vote wisely but VOTE FOR WHO? the same set of people 2?? Still get that PVC PLEASE"

"Today, With the amount of security personnel at MKO Abiola Stadium, I Came to realize that Nigeria is capable of doing whatever it feels like but "they" just chose to ignore the killings, the whole goddamn security sector," she concluded.

Posted: 31 Mar 2022 06:00 AM PDT

A man has narrated how his girlfriend of five years dumped him after he spent millions of naira in getting a shop for her in Lagos.

According to the heartbroken man who shared his story to Joro Olomofin, his girlfriend said she can no longer continue the relationship because they are not compatible.

He wrote,

"I've been dating this girl for five years now. We started dating from school and I gave her everything, even to my last card when I had no money, just to make her happy.

I did a lot for her that I can't even say. We were ready to settle down but she said she needs to finish her school and have a shop on her own.

She convinced me to come to Lagos, and when I came I met her demand. Now she has a shop. Apart from that I spent millions to put things in place for us since I just relocated to Lagos State. I was supposed to travel out but instead I decided to come for her since I don't want to disappoint her. But recently she told me that we are not compatible."

How Ubi Franklin allegedly beat up Timaya forcing the singer to go down on his knees to apologize

Posted: 31 Mar 2022 05:30 AM PDT

Amid the recent exchanges on social media between singer Timaya and music producer, Ubi Franklin, an alleged gist about what transpired between them in January 2021 as the crooner hinted in his tweet has emerged.

According to gossip blog, Cutie__juls, the altercation between Ubi Franklin and Timaya occurred at Otunba Osanebi Friday's house during an event.

Timaya upon arrival proceeded to where Ubi Franklin was and slapped him over claims that Ubi was spreading rumors that he is a drug addict. Ubi who didn't hesitate to retaliate lifted Timaya and slammed him.

However, at the end of the whole issue, Timaya was asked to apologize which he did on his knees.

The gist reads:

"It's alleged that it happened in 2021 January at Otunba Osanebi Friday's house .

Otunba was hosting a couple of his friends. Ubi and others were already seated eating, drinking and chatting when Timaya arrived a bit later with a babe. As soon as Timaya entered and saw Ubi whose back was facing Timaya's direction. Not sure if they already had a pending beef but Timaya walked straight into Ubi's direction and gave him a hot slap from the back. As Ubi turned around to enquire who and why he's been slapped, Timaya landed him another slap straight in his face. At this point, Ubi applied his slam dunk skills and carried Timaya who now looks very tuny straight to the ground and stepped on his throat. Dignitaries and high profiled senior men who were present quickly rushed and separated the 2 gentlemen.

When asked why Timaya why he slapped Ubi unprovoked as soon as he saw him? He narrated that sources have been telling him that Ubi has been telling a couple of people that he Timaya is now a drug addict. Ubi explained that he's not had that discussion with anyone so it's false accusation tho he himself has heard it from a couple of people.

Timaya was asked to apologize since he was wrong to have just slapped Ubi on sighting him without asking if what he heard was true or not. He knelt and apologized Ubi. Peace was restored
Fast forward, the beef revived again recently when Ubi called him out on his recently hit & run ish.

We don't know how this will turn out again so let's wait till their next face to face meeting. But the above is what transpired in January 2021 according to eye witness"
