For some few weeks now the Akpako Master “Terry G” has been on a wonderful U. S TOUR, performing from one city to another.
Recently there’s much anticipation from fans willing to hear what the Ginjah man has in his Arsenal for 2017. Few minutes ago we got hold of a song relased online titled “MTCN” from an upcoming act who goes by the name “Seph” featuring Terry G.
Listening to the song, We could say this not a good way to Start the year 2017 for Terry. Wack is too good and not appropiate to use for such song.
Few minutes after the Song was sent out to Bloggers & PR, Terry G got the news of the new song and it didn’t go well with him. He claimed he didn’t feature on any Song that goes by the Title and he won’t be part of such Wack song.
Checkout Screenshot of the Whatsapp Chat with the Artiste who claimed he featured Terry G.
See below:-
Believe me, This scenario is the correct definition of “Promotion gone Wrong“.
We hope upcoming artiste will learn from this. You need to work hard, get quality content and don’t deceive Nigerians by claiming you featured a Top act on your Song before you can get the needed attention.
Do good song & Promote it handsomely. You will sure be celebrated.
Terry G, Abeg take am easy ooooo!! 2017 is for making money, Not Beef.

Following the resignation of his erstwhile manager ‘Kamal Ajiboye’, Davido has signed a new management deal with Asa Asika under his new outfit ‘The Plug’ co-owned by Bizzle Osikoya.
Davido made the decision after carefully scrutinizing and weighing all options.
Asa Asika returns after 4 years which saw Kamal Ajiboye manage the affairs of Davido until now.
The Plug Entertainment would from now on handle all bookings & management affairs for Davido.
We welcome Asa Asika and the entire ‘The Plug Entertainment’ team on board.
Davido becomes the second client under the Plug’s management, as he joins DJ Obi.
The news is coming less than 10 days after he announced the signature of @yonda_music to Davido Music World (DMW).
Davido made the grand announcement via his Instagram page.
“Welcome @yonda_music to DMW 2017 Bad boy boutta burn it up!! Big ups @abbricks (Lazyboy management).. YONDA IT’S YOUR TIME!!” he said.
The new artiste will join the likes of Lola Rae, Dremo and Mayorkun.
The new signing came shortly after Davido’s outburst on SnapChat with Mr Ajiboye.
“I am my own manager in 2017! Don’t put your life in another man’s hand”, he said.
He went further to add that he was tired of chasing international fame.
Davido also jointly owns HKN music alongside his elder brother Adewale Adeleke. HKN is home to Sina Rambo, B-Red, Deekay and Danagog.
Following moments of solemn reminisce, controversial Nigerian dance hall singer, Burna Boy, has dished out words of advice to his fans and social media followers who are intending to drop out of school, like he almost did, to pursue a career in music to have a rethink.
While giving the advice, the “Pree Me” crooner shared a picture of himself smoking, possibly that was when he plunged into a solemn reminiscence of the days, he almost decided to quit school to focus on his career in music.
“I remember back in Montessori primary school, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. My teacher, Mr. Morgan made us write down what we wanted to become in the future and why, I wrote: ‘I want to be a rock star because I love music and I hate school’, in those exact words, true story, lol. Shit has a funny way of always working out doesn’t it? Stay in school, don’t say I told you not to go school”, he advised.
Popular Nigerian singer, Blackface Naija has called out popstar and former group mate, 2Face Idibia, over his planned nationwide protest.
It is no longer news that Blackface and 2face Idibia have had a long-running battle over the years following the split of their group, Plantashun Boiz.
Recently, Blackface once again renewed his bitter rivalry with 2face when he re-posted a lengthy piece titled ‘Let us educate the illiterate‘ on his Instagram page targeting 2face Idibia and the planned protest on February 5, 5017.
His post ended up attracting widespread criticism from fans who thought he was being petty.
However, in an exclusive interview, Blackface has defended his action saying, ‘I don’t think they should be thinking of a protest because we just got out from a crazy time, and the government is trying to fix the country.
It’s time to support the government and see what we can do for the country and not protest. They have been there for smaller amount of time and expect them to do miracles’.
2face is a greedy person and he’s not protesting because of Nigerians. He’s doing this because of his greedy self.
I won’t be part of such, Blackface concluded.
Have you sat back and wondered why most Nigerian upcoming musicians never make it in the industry?
Is it because they are not talented?
If you are an upcoming musician then you better continue reading this educating Article.
Below are some reasons why upcoming musicians in Nigeria never become famous:
1- Pride
Pride is a determinant factor of how a precarious music artist will elevate in his musical career.
Yet it is evident that this habit is popular among upcoming heads in Nigeria.
They always give an exaggerated expression of their financial status through flamboyant dressing on social media.
This false lifestyle eventually alienates them from help.
2- They Don’t Advertise Themselves
Nothing comes cheap in Nigeria.
To become famous, you have to advertise yourself aggressively in the highly competitive music industry and the internet is a very vital tool.
Advertising your tracks on good music websites, for example, abujaamebo.blogspot.com where ardent music lovers are always at alert to download songs and share with their friends.
Sharing your song links on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter gives you a chance of being noticed.
3- They Patronise Cheap Producers
You need not to sing like Michael Jackson before you become famous.
And, the impact of good production cannot be overemphasized.
Most upcoming artistes are fond of patronising shady producers who produce low quality contents at a cheaper rate.
4- Use Of Widespread Instrumentals
Most well known producers in the industry, including: Young John, Dj Coublon, Ekelly, Masterkraft, Kezyklef, Killertunes dish out dope beats free of charge online.
However, most upcoming musicians do not make use of this initiative, instead, they resort to over used instrumentals.
5- Lack Of Creativity
What makes a potential artist standout iscreativity and uniqueness.
Yet, many upcoming artistes fail to get to the peak of their dreams because of lack of creativity.
6- Immature Lyrics & Chorus
Good lyrics and punch lines is all you need to at least gain some recognition, especially as an upcoming head.
When you listen to the songs of many upcoming artistes in Nigeria however, you will keep wondering if the songs were composed in thespace of 2 minutes, garnished with uncoordinated lyrics.
Some will sing a chorus repeatedly for about 4 minutes after which a short verse will follow and that is it. Sickening!
7- Imitating the style of others
To succeed in life, you have to do something others are not doing, or what they have never done.
Rapper Olamide has is ownstyle in the industry.
Lil Kesh is also a good example when it comes to style. You have to fake something to get there, dont be a copy cat
Mr Eazi stepped into the Nigerian music industry with his own self made character that most producers and musicians are emulating his methods.
Every artiste should have his own style which becomes ultimately their brand, so why copy their style as a leverage to also get to your limelight??
Create your own style!!

Mrs Tonto Dikeh-Churchill and her foundation visited a primary school in Abuja for her BacktoSchool charity project.
She wore this for the event and some Nigerians are complaining that her outfit isn’t appropriate..
According to them, Tonto shouldn’t have worn the ripped trousers because kids are very wonderfully sensitive and will do what she says instead of doing what she tells them. You see anything wrong with her pants? Reactions continue below:
Singer, Mr Eazi, is set to drop a mixtape.
The Starboy Worldwide Act & the wave of the moment, took to his IG page to reveal that he will be dropping his mixtape titled ‘Accra To Lagos’ on February 11.
Mr Eazi, won the ‘Next Rated’ act award at the 2016 Headies Awards and he has been giving so many hits after landing at Starboy Worldwide.
We can’t wait to put it up for you guys.
Singer Kelly Hansome, is at all not a fan of ‘Wack’ songs.
According to the ‘Maga Don Pay’ crooner, who spoke exclusively with Planet TV, there has been too many ‘wack’ songs in the industry and no one seems to care about it.
Obviously pained about the state of the music industry, Kelly lamented the state of the industry saying both fans and DJs allow this as nothing can be done since the owners of such songs must have paid their way through to ensure their songs are being played everywhere.
Mr Eazi is a Nigerian Afrobeat singer based in Ghana since 2007. An internationally performing artist signed to Wizkid’s Star Boy Worldwide label.
Earlier this year, He was a source of controversy because of his opinion on Nigerian stealing Ghana sound.
He recieved a lot of backlash from Nigerians on twitter, but even after apologizing, Mr Eazi is still on his ghana grind.
Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade known professionally by his stage name Mr Eazi, is an artist signed to Starboy Worldwide Record Label.
He was born in Port Harcourt, Nigeria but based in Ghana since late 2007.
Background
Mr Eazi, 27, is a Mechanical Engineering degree holder from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana.
In Ghana, a country with so much animosity with his country of birth, Nigeria, his musical career kicked off with gusto.
Sarkodie (left) and Mr Eazi (right)
He was able to collaborate with Ghanaian music big boys like Efya (his label mate), Sarkodie and others.
Musical Style
Mr Eazi is blessed with a unique ‘deep bass voice’ that has an identity with Nigerian trioBlackmagic, Ajebutter and Pepenazi.
Still, his category of tune has made him a ‘self made character’ from many top Nigerian artists on the block or put in laconic words- He writes his own scripts.
‘Its-your-boy-Eeeazzi’, a lyric he uses frequently in the early phase of some of his songs, is his ‘self made anthem’.
Recently, he was among the nominees for the Prestigious Next Rated category of the Headies Award which he eventually won.
Songs
In the previous years, between 2015 – 2016 precisely, Mr Eazi released debut singles that we were chart-topping songs in Africa, most notably:Skin Tight, Ohima (featured by DJ Spinall),Hollup, Sample You, Shitor, Fre Me and recently Leg Over.
No doubt, with his well deserved rise to fame, he has won the heart of many Nigerians and African Music lovers, and has been described by many asthe one for the future, branding his Genre as“Banku Music” (a subset of Afrobeats), which is characterised by laid back deliveries on majorly Afro-soulful instrumentals, influenced by his Ghanaian/Nigerian cultural upbringing.
However, here is the big question:
Is He really an artist built for the future? A puzzling question that needs analysis and scrutiny, and that is why the Boxanalyst crewhas decided to do justice to Mr Eazi’s style of music.
Is Mr Eazi built for the future?
Mr Eazi’s sound is good when he is on a particular slow tempo with hard kick and few percussion, he definitely will kill the beat, when you try to listen to at least four (4) of his hit singles you discover you can actually sing almost all his lyric to just one of his beat and it will fit-in owning to the fact that he possesses just a particular tune.
The implication of this is that in the long run, Africans especially Nigerians will get fed up with the Mr Eazi’s type of sound.
History has shown that Artistes who lack the ability to adjust and adapt to the continuous changing trend of music in Africa and Nigeria in particular have been known to have their reign cut short, that is why the likes of 2Face, Timaya,Oritsefemi, Sound Sultan, Kcee and many more have been able to maintain their lead and keep their fans and fame intact.
Can Mr Eazi replicate the industrious works of Tuface and Sound Sultan??
Mr Eazi’s music is what we enjoy now, but how long is it going to last, 2, 3 or 4 more years? That is a puzzling question, however we hope to see him bring a new sound and new tempo to stay relevant in the ever changing Nigerian music industry.
Do you agree with this write up? Will Mr Eazi continue to trend in Nigeria for a long time or Will his music go out of taste soon? Drop your comments below!!
Enough is enough for dancehall act and German Juice crooner, Cynthia Morgan who has had enough of the criticism from fans.

Inetimi Alfred Odon, better known by his stage Timaya, has signed a new deal with @hennessy_ng as its newest brand ambassador.
The Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa as he fondly calls himself, shared the good news on his Instagram page.
He captioned it thus…check the screenshot below.
There is no doubt that there is stiff competition in the music industry. Everyone is playing their game according to their ability and capability. Meanwhile, releasing an album is obviously not an easy task but it is visible to blind and audible to the deaf that artistes like Olamide is capable of releasing album every year back to back.
Davido on the other hand is also a big name in the industry, but only God knows what is holding back his second album release after the release of his debut “OBO”. He has released several tracks and featured in many hit collabos but the date of the release of his second album still remains a mystery, Just recently he gave us The #SOM EP to whet our appetite.. But we want more than that from the baddest..
Okay, its just for fun !! Let’s attempt to solve this word problem to actually predict the end of Davido’s album drought, despite all his overwhelming influence in the music industry.
The Big Question is;
If Olamide can release 6 albums in six years how long will it take Davido to release 2 albums?
Controversial singer Brymo says he is “going straight to hell”.
The “Prick No Get Shoulder” singer Brymo has made a rather ridiculous statement on twitter. It’s difficult to ascertain the depths of his statement when he tweeted he will be “going straight to hell” when he eventually dies. He added that’s where all good people go.
Olawale Ashimi aka Brymo tweeted this. “When I die I am going straight to hell, its where all the good people go.”
Maybe we are overreacting, but we couldn’t just ignore the recent video of Nollywood Diva, Tonto Dikeh Churchill , who could have revealed she is single..
The recent video shared on her social media account, shows the actress dancing while raising her fingers in the air to show that her wedding ring, was no more.
Kiss Daniel finally has his first endorsement . So happy for him now that he just signed his very first endorsement deal with Hennessy. It is rumoured to be a multi-million naira deal he signed with Timaya as well.
Earlier, we reported about Nollywood actress advising women to become promiscuous (in case you missed it)
Now, controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, has come out as usual to blast the actress, calling her a prostitute.
She wrote;
“yet another Nolywood whore giving advice. Actress Anita Joseph wants ladies to open their legs for multiple affairs at the same time and last year, Toke Makinwa wanted ladies to have a one night stand and kiss a stranger.
I scolded Toke but at least she was talking about one man, promoting multiple men and I am not having it. You all already know I hate polygamy. If you can ladies, keep your eggs, uterus and Fallopian tubes in one basket and forget this Nollywood prostitute’s advice. F**k Anita.”
Davido wrote on Snap, “No Juju U do will work for me!!! BABA GOD BY MY SIDE … u know urself. I’m covered with the blood of Jesus… my friends family my work my life .. AMEN
Then his ‘hypeman’ Spesh cleared any doubt as to who he could be referring to when he wrote, “KAMAL NO GO LEAVE US NO MATTER HARD WE TRY!!! D JUJU TOO STRONG!!!”
