Rapper Wale honours his father on stage in Lagos

It was indeed a special moment for MMG rapper Wale Folarin when he performed for the first time in his motherland Nigeria on November 30, 2013.

What made it more special was that his father Mr Akintimehin was also there to watch his son perform for the hundreds of guests that gathered at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos.

Wale took time to give a shoutout to his dad who watched from backstage along with his uncle Bayo and Storm Records boss Obi Asika .

‘ I promise to keep coming back. If y’all will have me, I’ll come back. Shoutout to my dad, Mr Akintimehin do you want to take a bow for these people now? Haaa Oga! ‘, Wale said in between performances.

The US based rapper is expected to return to the States this weekend.

“I am Too Busy Making Money” – Empress Njamah Replies Timaya

Recall that Timaya gave Punch an interview where he slammed his exgirlfriend, Empress Njama. Timaya said in the interview: “You should not date somebody who already has a negative record. In my own case, it affected me at that time.”

The interview went viral, Empress read it too and she doesn’t seem to be as bothered as most women will be if they were in her shoes.

Empress in an interview with Punch said:
“ People who are mature can depict what is true and what is not. I am not ready to say anything.”

Empress claimed the comment didn’t in anyway, bother her.

“Why would it bother me? It is one thing to be hurt over such statement and another thing to be disappointed. I wasn’t hurt and I wasn’t even disappointed. Worst things have been said and written about me but the people who know who I am would tell the difference.”

Empress said she was more interested in what is happening in her life at the moment rather than talk about “what doesn’t make sense”.

“I am more involved with my birthday and celebrating it with the orphans and the less privileged. I am better off talking about this than to talk about what is not important. I am too busy making money. People who know you will always know how positive you have affected their lives. I am surrounded by so many people who have shown me love so there is no reason for me to be pained,” she said.

Kanye West Adidas Deal Cost $10 MILLION Plus Royalties!

With a pair of Air Yeezy's going for $300 to $3000 on eBay, It's fair to say that there are people out there that would pay an arm and a leg for a pair of West's sneakers.

However, we can all wave goodbye to the Air Yeezys, at least for now, as Kanye embarks on a new partnership with Adidas.

Kanye recently confirmed that he has inked a new deal with Nike rival Adidas and according to the New York Post's Page Six, the deal was worth $10 million and West will receive royalties for each pair that sells. (Take that Nike!)

Several reasons for West's falling out with Nike have surfaced recently. For starters, his latest Nike shoe, The Air Yeezy 2 Red Octobers, were reportedly being leveraged with other Nike shoe sales.

Why I’m Still Single Despite Everything –– BBA’s Karen Igho

It seems  Karen Igho is not tired of  waiting patiently for her “real husband”.

See her latest rants…

“My celebrity status attracts and it scares men away too. It scares some because not every man can handle or understand fame. It takes a strong and understanding man to be able to be with a female celebrity. The attracting aspect comes from when they just want to be with you because they want to be able to say ‘I’ve been with Karen Igho.’ It takes God’s grace to be able to sift the chaff from the wheat.
I’m not in any relationship at the moment because… Love is unpredictable though; if my man comes along the way, then it is all well and good.”

Ice Prince Explains Why He Denied His Son, Jamal

Ice Prince has spoken out on why he initially denied the baby, he cleared the air in an interview with Showbizplus ;

How has fatherhood changed you?
It has taught me to save my money. It is a huge difference and a huge change in lifestyle. You become more matured.

You initially denied having a baby?
It was complicated back then, I didn’t really know what was happening and I wasn’t sure of certain things. So the best I had to do then was denying it and sort out things first. Now I know he is my child and I have done everything as a father ever since.

What is the relationship like with
his mother?
I speak with her often and it is usually about the baby. That is all for now.

Have you started thinking about
marriage?
No, I’m fully focused on my music.
