His narration right after the cut. Things are happening in this country mehn… “The matter was actually between the Paediatric Department of the hospital and me. It was in 2011.

Upcoming artistes in Nigeria’s entertainment industry have a hard time getting the required attention they need. One major reason is because most of these guys do not have the right people guiding them as they make important decisions about their career. Korede Bello is one artiste who has enjoyed the right guidance in his career. Thanks to Don Jazzy and his Mavin Records. He was a guest on the latest episode of Fashion 360 on Spice TV and he shared tips for upcoming artistes. “First thing is, Not everybody gets to be front guy. What I mean is there are so many songwriters, producers, back up singers out there. There are so many things you can do even if you are not the main star. You don’t have to kill yourself to make it. You could be a Don Jazzy and still be relevant. Be yourself, do some soul searching and discover yourself,” he said. Well said, Korede, Well said.

The 23-year-old actress and singer  posed in sheer, raunchy dresses for a Galore shoot. Speaking to the magazine about romance she said she can be handful to any potential date. She explained: 'Well, I think very much so like a computer. I’m very emotional, but I’m also very logical. I’ve been working the way I have been since I was a kid, so I think about everything as a schedule. 'I’m very analytical and I’m a perfectionist, so I think somebody dating me might say that would be hard to deal with.' She also gave her two pence on the issue of cultural appropriation saying it's not that big an issue. She said: 'To not be okay with it would be like saying black people shouldn’t get perms. This goes back to my same message about labels… having braids doesn’t make you black and having straight hair doesn’t make you white.' She adds: 'We’re thinking too hard on things honestly. I’m not really caring about whether o...
