Why I Decided To Stop Singing Songs Which Make No Sense — D'Prince
Mavin singer ,D 'Prince has opened up on why he has changed his style of music.Recently, he has been churning out socially conscious songs.He tells Vanguard :
Sometime last year, I had this re-orientation. It’s easier to make songs that are not sensible and it will be a hit overnight. We have done it before. I was with Don Jazzy in the studio and he said I have to start recording new songs. I had told him before then that I wanted to start doing socially conscious songs.
It took us weeks to deliberate if we should go that route or stick to our normal party music. We tried it out and I have started getting positive feedbacks. I am yet to visit any blog that writes negative comments about the songs. When you actually sing something reasonable, people will reason and understand you.I have realised that you just have to put out music that people can get something out of. Even it’s a party music; it should still have a message in it. Fela did it. He had great songs and they had a message.
On how he intends to make his music evergreen
I thank God for the Mavin family- Don Jazzy, Tiwa, Dr Sid and others. I don’t believe that when it comes to music I am going to lack .I can’t tell you that I am going to be buying Bugatti’s every other day. Music is the only thing that a musician owes to his fans. If you have music, you will always be relevant, unless you deviate. Most of the old artistes are not relevant anymore because they didn’t keep up with releasing good music.
On a lot of people having issues with the song Take Banana
You are taking me back to the Old Testament. Those days, our orientation was just to make a nice tune and also make it a party jam. I did Take Banana, I did Give it to me, they were big songs, but people felt the lyrics were bad. That is what the people want though. Most times, people buy these songs because that is want they want.
I Don't Have Issues With Tonto Dikeh But...— Dencia
This month,Dencia waded in to an issue between Tonto Dikeh and luxury shopper /Nigerian Whitenicious sales rep,Pearl. The singer who was in Nigeria recently to promote her new video African Energy told Punch Saturday Beats :
“I don’t have issues with Tonto Dikeh, I just don’t like it when someone feels because she is bigger than another person, she can trample down on them. Pearl is my protégé and my sister and I felt that she was being cheated, so I spoke on her behalf. I hate it when someone who feels she is big in the society cheats another person who seems smaller in class,”
On the source of her wealth,she says
“I made most of my money from the sale of my beauty cream,Whitenicious. I make a lot of money from that and it has been able to sustain me. I don’t do drugs even though I have friends who indulge in it. I neither drink nor smoke too,” she said.
She also addressed the issue of her beauty cream being discredited by Oscar award winner, Luputa Nyongo.Dencia said,
“I don’t have issues with Lupita. I never knew who she was until she spoke about me. There were a lot of politics in the background that a lot of people would not understand and I don’t want to go into it. But it is wrong to talk badly about somebody’s brand. If it happens, it means that there is somebody in the background paying you to do so. That is how it happens in LA and everywhere around the world. When I woke up that morning and read what she said, I was shocked because I did not know who she was.
I asked my sister to find out who she was and my sister searched for her on Google. That was when I knew who she was. When I realised who she was, I leveraged on what she said and used her for publicity instead. Few days after, she discredited my brand when she had an endorsement with a skincare company. How would you discredit me and the next day you are endorsed by a company that sells a similar product like I do? It is not rocket science”.
My Life Is Ruined Because I Look Like Rihanna-Lady Cries Out
A Rihanna look-a-like claims she cannot find a boyfriend because she looks too much like the popstar.
Bianca Guthrie reckons her resemblance to the singer has constantly ruined her life.
Bianca Guthrie reckons her resemblance to the singer has constantly ruined her life.
Stylist Bianca, now 25, says she has been stopped on the street more than a thousand times by autograph and selfie-hunters confusing her for the 27-year-old Bajan stunner - and it's driving men away.
She has even done her best to get away from looking like the singer by adopting new styles - which she says ,Rih Rih then copies. She said:
"I'm single because I look like Rihanna, pure and simple.I have lost count at the amount of people that have been convinced I'm Rihanna - to date I've probably been stopped by over 1,000 people in street.Boyfriends have dated me purely because I look like her - it's always the first thing they say.
"I'm desperate to find a man who sees past my resemblance to Rihanna. Blokes want me to be Rihanna, but I'm not. I'm Bianca."
Bianca even says Rihanna is copying her style, because whenever Bianca adopts a new look, Rihanna is soon to follow.
"I respect Rihanna, but I wanted to be unique and now I'm just embracing my look.I don't want to be just a look alike.When I was 14, people at my school told me I was her double.I ended up cutting my hair to get away from it, I liked Rihanna but when you get asked it 100 times it loses its appeal quickly."Next thing I knew, she'd cut her hair too, and we looked exactly the same again.When I left school it just got worse. I would go on holiday and people were convinced it was Rihanna. I'd be followed and then asked for a photo.One time in London a group of tourists ran across a busy street shouting 'Oh my gosh it's Rihanna!'"
Bianca is now so paranoid about her resemblance to Rihanna, that she goes out of her way to dress differently.
"I've found myself going online daily to see what she was doing/looking like.I went through phases of doing it to avoid a certain look.I had my hair red and then a week later Rihanna did it. "Everyone thought I had copied her so I dyed it back.Then I went blonde and was told I looked like Rita Ora - I couldn't win."
Bianca is now on the hunt for a man who hates the Umbrella singer, because hopefully he will treat her just as she is.
She added: "I won't let my looks get in the way of my life - but if you had to look like someone, it could be a lot worse couldn't it."

Chris Brown Gets Emotional -I Always Thought I Knew The Concept Of Love
Read what Chris Brown posted :
"I'm Konfuzed, I always thought I knew the concept of love. Fame and Money can get in the way of that. Most of my issues always deal with love and me being in my feelings. Not to mention me being a dog sometimes. I can't speak for everyone but I can say that my actions contributed a lot to my karma. Being jealous and angry and controlling. There has been times where I looked in the mirror and hated the person I see. I talk to God a lot now. He's given me so much and I feel like I waste his gifts becuz of my impulsive personality. The world is full of negativity and I feel I play a part in it becuz of the choices I've made or mistakes. I tend to accept the negative or the riff raff becuz I know what it's like to be a young black "nigga" in America. I always see the good in people even when they don't see it. I love others more than myself at times. Everything u see on the surface does not reflect what's inside. This is my white flag. I surrender to life and all its blessings. I refuse to be petty and attention seeking. To know me is to love me. Good Bad UGLY! Sincerely, Konfuzed"

Birdman Pays The IRS $2 Million In Back Taxes
Forbes' annual list of the five wealthiest artists in hip hop didn't change much in 2015, with Diddy ,
Dr. Dre , Jay Z , 50 Cent and Birdman all making the cut again .
The only noticeable shift was
Stunna going from number four to five, and now we've got some news that may partially explain his slight drop in earnings. The Cash Money CEO was recently hit with two separate tax liens from the IRS for unpaid back taxes, totaling around $2 million.
TMZ reports that he's already paid up the $1,942,400.58, which was accrued from one lien in December 2014, and another this February.
No word yet on what (if anything) this entails for Cash Money, but as Birdman's still worth over a hundred mil, we'd guess that the label's still fairly safe.
Meek Mill & Nicki Minaj Aren't Actually Engaged
Meek Mill reveals that he's not actually engaged to Nicki Minaj in his new Fader cover story.
Ever since Nicki Minajposted a picture of a huge, heart-shaped rock for the whole world to see, rumors of an engagement to Meek Mill have been passed around with little in the way of actual confirmation from either camps.
Today, we get a straight-up answer from Meek in his new Fader cover story : they're not actually engaged.
Speaking on his relationship with Minaj, the Dreamchaser said, “It’s definitely real, but it ain’t really time to get married yet. We’re still learning each other, feeling each other out.”
The story also includes mention of a run-in with T.I. , who seemed a little less convinced that Meek and Minaj aren't getting married:
“'I ain’t engaged,' Meek says sheepishly, but T.I. isn’t having any of it. 'You never asked her, ‘Will you be my girlfriend?’ But she is your girlfriend,' he says. 'You may not have asked her, ‘Will you marry me?’ But you are engaged.'
Meek shrugs, unable to argue with this logic . 'I’ve said my part,' T.I. says, backing away with his hands up. 'As long as you know what’s going on.'”
Probably a wise move, as the pair had only been dating a little while before the engagement news popped up, but it's sure to cause some waves in the press.

You can't compare me with Rihanna-Karrueche Tran admits
Karrueche must have realized her problem with Chris Brown was bigger than Rihanna as she has showered accolades on the singer,saying she has no issues with her. Speaking on Big Boy TV,when asked if she has hard feelings towards Rihanna,she said :
"No, not at all. We just dated the same guy and that's kind of what it is. It's always a competition thing and they compare us but she is Rihanna. She's a pop star and she's beautiful she makes great music and I'm just me and I'm growing and working into myself. You can't really compare us we're two completely different girls."
On Chris Brown having a baby,she said she heard on TMZ..She said.
When it hit TMZ I was like, 'Oh,'""I called him and cussed him out. After the whole Rihanna thing, it's been a year or whatever, we've been trying to fix what was broken and that was just the icing on the cake. So I just had to completely part ways."
"It's hard…I make it so we don't have to cross paths so it's not awkward but I do get on Instagram and there's people tagging us or I'll hear a song, you know, but I kind of just block it out,"

Asap Rocky Brags About Having Sex With 9 Women After Taking LSD
Rapper ASAP Rocky has bragged about having an orgy with nine women after taking LSD(an illegal acid drug which causes hallucinations). He said his drug fueled sex parties took place this past March at South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas. Asap who has dated Chanel Iman,Iggy Azaelia told the New York Post :
My first tour [in 2012] was with Kendrick Lamar and Drake. I lost my virginity when I was 13, I f–ked loads of women by the time I was 18. This s–t ain’t nothing new to me. I’m not a mainstream n—a. My taste level is so alternative that if I do something that becomes mainstream, it’s only because I wanted to do it. There's definitely a psychedelic influence on my new album,'Makonnen gave me acid at SXSW.
This n***a looked like Buddha with a Jheri curl! After that, I went back to my mansion and f***ed nine chicks. It was pretty rad. That's a true story.''Yeah, [nine women] but not all at one time,' the Peso rapper explained. 'It's like group sex. You have three at a time, and then you have three orgies. That's nine chicks.'
He also slammed Rita Ora in his new single Better Things..He raps
'I swear that b**ch Rita Ora got a big mouth / Next time I see her might curse the b**ch out / Kicked the b**ch out once cause she b**ched out / Spit my kids out, j***ed up all in her mouth and made the b**ch bounce'.
