I DON'T LIKE D'BANJ - MAJEK FASHEK

Majek Fashek, a popular reggae musician back in the days has expressed his love for international music star, 2face and EME crew artiste, Wizkid.

Fashek, popularly known as the ‘Rain Maker’, however, said he does not like D’banj’s music.

In an interview granted to the NETng, Fashek said, “I like Wizkid and 2face, they play good music.”

He explained his dislike for D’banj saying, “I don’t like that other boy called D’banj, those ones that went to join Illuminati. How can you go and sell your soul to the devil because you want to be famous. I don’t even like his music anyway.”

Majek Fashek is allegedly involved in substance abuse which many believe has a negative effect on his mental health. He is, however, currently doing all he can to revive his musical career.

[GIST] WIZKID ISH WITH EME

The relationship between Nigerian pop star, Ayo Wizkid Balogun and his record label, Empire Mates Entertainment (E.M.E.) has either gone up in flames or what is left of it is a ticking time bomb.

We reported on February 1 disturbing tweets from Wizkid that suggested trouble on the home front and although the details are vague, it appears clear now that Wizkid and EME executives Banky W and Segun Demuren are not in good terms.

The very next day for instance, Wizkid followed his previous day’s tweet by a retweet certain to send the rumour mill into overdrive:



The speculations have been months running. First, Wizkid fired his manager Osagie Osarenkhoeand hired long-time friend Godwin Tom in September 2012. Tom, it appears, had initially taken up the Wizkid project before Osarenkhoe facilitated the introduction to EME that changed his life.Wizkid was the only one happy about the change, but the label let him be.

Then, he signed an international management deal with UK based Disturbing London, run by rapper Tinie Tempah, with whom he has been working in the studio somewhere in the United Kingdom.

According to this NET report, it all came to a head when Wizkid moved out of the EME ‘mansion’ in Lagos and acquired his own home in Lekki Phase 1, and then bought his BMW X6 auto-mobile late last year – a move that a blogger’s report claims led to a “war of words” with his own mother. By this time, he had started flying solo; all decisions made by himself and his new manager.

Wizkid would turn up late to public appearances and Banky would spend the whole time apologizing. ‘They would always come separate to any gig. It looked like Wizzy and Godwin had formed their own team and didn’t need them Banky anymore‘, an inside source told this newspaper, Saturday.

Apparently, he also wasn’t seen at many of the rehearsals for EME’s December concert, and when he came the friction was apparent. .

‘But they all tried to suppress what was going on; only the in-house team knew the whole truth’.

Banky W, valliantly trying to re-assure fans, had said in an interview last week that the rumours of a rift are false, but as if in response, the ink was yet to dry on reports before Wizkid updated his Twitter profile – and EME/Konvict was gone.

According to the above report, many familiar with the situation say the problem is simple: (Wizkid) thinks he’s grown too big for the label and he’s suddenly forgotten where he’s coming from and the many sacrifices Osagie and Banky especially had to make to help him grow”.

February 15, Banky W will have his album concert. What Wizkid does, if Wizkid is in the vicinity – is sure to provide some clarity.

DEAR AGBANI DAREGO, WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE?

My Dearest Agbani Darego,

Will you be my valentine?

Do give this the utmost consideration. If you will be my valentine, let me say that I am, first, of all men most privileged, and second, about to engage in heavy research about what being someone’s valentine actually entails.
If you will not be my valentine, I must assume this is only because you would prefer me to ask you to marry me. If so, poste haste and with rapidity in extremis, I would, My Sweetling, desire your hand- and as much of the rest of you as possible -in blissful matrimony.

But wait. I traverse ahead of myself. I have not introduced myself. Sure I have spent many hours ogling over your Instagram photos and following you closely on Twitter, but I have never, as it were, had the opportunity of introducing myself.

I am The Editor.

Ah, My Lollipop, I can see your sad smile now. You are shaking your head, wondering if I am just another one of those men struck by your beauty and effortless grace.
Yes, it is true I am one of those men, but if I might add, I am even more awestruck by your beauty. There is no hope for me.
Marry me, My Cupcake.

Consider the advantages. I have discussed them below.


My Fondant, If you marry me, you will be fully protected in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse. I have watched Walking Dead (Seasons 1 and 2), and every zombie movie there is. I know how to finish them off (destroy the brain), how to stay alive (Run like hell) and how not to get slowed down by unnecessary hangers on. (I know so much, I am in fact publishing a simple handbook on this very subject called “Surviving The Zombie Apocalypse” available in stores shortly. You will of course, get a free signed copy.)

Secondly, the possibility exists that with your incredibly beautiful genes, and my deeply rooted interests in you, our offspring could be the very first of the race of super intelligent and super powerful humans. I can see it now: Junior finds the cure for cancer. His sister brings about world peace. You and I will bask in parental pride, secure in the knowledge that our union has benefited the world immensely. As I said, the possibility exists.

Thirdly, You will never have to worry about me going off to be an astronaut or being called off on some secret government mission to topple some enemy regime. I won’t even join the Bolivian Army. I suppose these are some of the first things you worry about when you a potential suitor approaches. Rest your lovely head at ease, My Peppermint stick, I will do none of these things.

Have you seen Les Miserables yet? I’m only asking because I haven’t and everyone is going on and on about it.

My Sweetest Sugarplum, I know we have a lot to figure out, but let us ignore the little details of whether you love me or whether you want to get married at all or whether you will be able to stand me. You must believe me when I say those are minor details.

Say you will be my valentine, that is all I ask.
And if you cannot grant that, grant me your personage in marriage.
And if that proves impossible, could I please have your phone number, house address and your word that you will never ever ever take out a restraining order against me?

Thank you, My Strawberry Tart.

Yours Infinitely,

The Editor
