    In his words: Dear Young Nigerians,Grab yourself with some self-esteem, self-confidence and self-pride. We are all poor. Us and the celebrities. All the celebrities in Nigeria.

    Linda Ikeji is not a celebrity. She is a business woman. So she is not one of those broke celebrities.

    Every celebrity in Nigeria is broke. They are like me. They don’t have the money they tell you they have. Many of them I have seen their bank statements. I don’t care if they start avoiding me now. I know better. Stop feeling inadequate, young people. You see as I beg for money publicly, that is how these celebrities suffer and beg for money secretly.

    When I was writing Hip-Hop is Only for Children, I spent time travelling with many of them and I know the truth. Let them shut up. Now HushPuppi and his bitches have dragged Ugo Mozie into their rubbish.

     

    “Don Jazzy is a tenant. He is broke. Forget everything.

    D’Banj is hustling every day to feed.

    Davido spends the money they pay for every show.

    Sinach and Frank Edwards are richer than these guys. This, I know! I am tired of all the social media haranguing and brouhaha and lies and show! And you will say, How e take concern you?

     

    “I am angrily writing this because those of you who feel because you are not famous and so you think you are poor, remember it is the little cash that you people send to our accounts that make us dey do iyanga.

    Forget all the foreign trips. Do you know how many people who buy me flight tickets?

    When you talk about wealth, people who are wealthy don’t throw them around on social media.

    Be yourself because I have seen their bank details. And I know we are all struggling.

    Fuck inferiority. You folks who think fame is fortune need to relax. You are better than us!”

  • Just like Dbanj, Harrysong imitates Game of thrones for album cover

    These days the length at which Nigerian pop stars imitate whatever is trending is appalling. The seventh season of Game of thrones is one of the trending movies at the moment and Nigerian artistes are using it to get attention for their music.

    Dbanj announced the release of his King Don Come album in June and the official album cover portrayed an image of the singer sitting on the iron throne.

     

    In the same vein, Reggae Blues crooner also maximized the ‘Iron Throne’ fascination for the cover art of his soon to be released King Maker album. This time around, it is a china version of the throne.

     

    No doubts, they won’t have had their respective album covers if there was no Game of Thrones.

I am very sure we will definitely do songs again in future and I wish you all the best bro. Nothing but love God bless Psquare and the great Fans, God bless Mr P and God bless Rudeboy. #Peace,” he said.

    Hear him:” At first, I did not see the video where Eedris spoke about me and initially, I thought it was something else till people sent me the video. I have seen different videos of him talking about different artistes that are young enough to be his kids. I would have thought that if he was such a role model, there were better ways he could pass his message across but I have nothing against him. I have nothing more to say about him. I feel people just have different ways of expressing themselves.”
