Last week was eventful in showbiz. TheCable Lifestyle examines the top entertainment stories that got tongues wagging in the past seven days.
NICKI MINAJ FLOATS RECORD LABEL WITH FOUR ARTISTES
Nicki Minaj announced the official launch of her own record label.
While the Trinidadian-born rapper has yet to announce the name of the label, she teased several names on her roster. These include Nana Fofie, Tate Kobang, Rico Danna, and London Hill.
“When I get behind an artist, y’all know how I do shit for people that are not even signed to me. Imagine what Imma do for the ones that are signed,” she said.
“Don’t think my label is just rap, or Black, or anything. We got some other genres of music.”
JJC SKILLZ QUITS MUSIC
JJC Skillz, the singer and actor, recently said he longer has a passion for artistry anymore.
In a chat with TheCable Lifestyle, the actor, born Abdulrasheed Bello, also said he would now prefer to be behind the scenes supporting upcoming singers.
“I actually released a freestyle song for black history month called black but ultimately when I released this is not a comeback,” he said.
“So I don’t really have a passion for artistry, I am supporting a lot of artistes production-wise for them to have the limelight but for myself, I don’t have the urge to go back on stage.”
WIZKID POSTPONES MLLE TOUR
Wizkid on March 2 announced the postponement of his much anticipated ‘More Love, Less Ego (MLLE)’ tour.
MLLE is Wizkid’s fifth album. It was released on November 11.
The tour for the project was scheduled to run from March 3 to April 7 with a stop at 20 cities in the US and Canada.
But the singer said the decision to postpone the tour was due to unforeseen “logistical circumstances.”
Although Wizkid did not give details on the new dates, the singer said the tour has been rescheduled to the fall season — which is from September to December 2023.
ADUNNI ADE ALLEGES A THREAT TO HER LIFE
Adunni Ade, the actress, asked the public to hold Koko Zaria responsible should anything happens to her.
The controversy started when she called out her colleagues in the Yoruba movie industry for supporting a presidential candidate — although she didn’t mention names.
She also claimed some of her colleagues wasted two months of their lives to campaign for the presidential candidate and were paid a meagre “N90,000”.
Her comments were, however, not well received by some actresses who fired back at her.
On March 1, Adunni raised the alarm over an alleged threat to her life by Zaria, who she said is an associate of MC Olumo, the chairman of the Lagos state parks management committee.
“I wanna play something for you all. I wanna make it public and make it known that if anything, anything at all even if it’s as little as a fly perches on my skin please make Koko Zaria accountable for it because of the post that I made he went online to make some accusations as well and also to make a threat to my life,” she said.
