I Wish To Rap Better Than Phyno - Rapper Ikechukwu

Ikechukwu the rapper who became famous with ‘Wind Am Well’ has revealed that the local lyricists have become the Lords of the Manor and no longer those Nigerian rappers who do that in their American or British accent . Ikechukwu, has spent 10 years in the industry, and revealed that he would be celebrating it with a concert.

He said : “Not because it’s stronger than universal (English) rap, but it’s easier to understand; especially for the mass market. As a matter of fact, if I could rap like Phyno, I’d be rapping a little more like him.But I am who I am anyway. Indigenous rap is definitely dope, and it’s rocking right now, as well as opening more doors for a lot of people.’ Shedding light on what he has been up to recently, Ikechukwu stated, ‘I’ve just been taking a little time off; working on some stuff outside entertainment. I’ve also been taking some classes in Film Editing…I’ve taken a big dive into the movie world and TV. It’s like a 360° turn because that’s where I started from initially. I’ve done a couple of movies and TV series including Gidi Up.’

I Can’t Forget What Ubi Franklin Did To Me - Emma Nyra

Although he as moved on, married and even expecting a baby from his beautiful wife, Ubi Franklin's alleged ex-girlfriend, Emma Nyra, can't seem to let go of the memories of the relationship.

Sometime last year, Emma Nyra and Ubi Franklin made headlines after they both told different stories to different media platforms. Emma Nyra had explained that she quit Ubi's music label for some other reasons and not because he left her for his now wife, Lilian Esoro.

While Ubi in another interview around that period claimed they were actually in a relationship but he broke up with her because she was manner-less and all.
However, in a recent interview with The Punch, the leggy singer maintained that her days with Ubi Franklin owned music record label, TrippleMG, wasn't worth it.

"I want to handle my own projects, so I can see and track my own revenue. I can make my own money and also bring up other artistes when the time comes. My former label, TripleMG, didn't do all that for me. Obviously they didn’t."

On why she didn't speak up her grievances, Ms Nyra said she did but..

"I did air my grievances but they were not addressed. That was why I left the label.

What are some of the lessons you have learnt since you parted ways with your former label?
I learnt to focus and not really trust what I hear. I have learnt to take everything I am being told by sight and keep my faith in God because He is the only one who actually has my back. Even if I hear something, I don’t react just like that and I also stay away from drama. If I sense that a situation might likely lead to a confrontation, I simply avoid it. I actually wasn’t in a relationship with Ubi. He made all that story up. Personally, I don’t want to speak about it.

She added that her present relationship with her former label boss, Ubi Franklin, isn't cordial.
"No, I wouldn’t like to speak about that"

MY HUSBAND HAD TO BEG AND PAY ME TO STOP WORK WHEN WE MET - DABOTA LAWSON

Controversial business woman and socialite, Dabota Lawson, has come out to set the records straight that she never got rich from any man as her parents were wealthy enough to sponsor four children to study in the United Kingdom.
Dabota reiterated that she got her first job at the age of 16 while also in school and that paved way for her to make good investments as she never had to depend on her parents for money including what she started her business with.
She also boasted that she is beauty with brains as she graduated from a good university in the UK with Second Class Upper in Economics.

“No poor family can train 4 children in the UK on international school fees. God bless my mum and dad for the opportunity. (thank God almighty) That never made me have a big head and if anything my childhood inspired me to want to be great. When I met my husband I was still working. He had to beg and pay me to stop work and still I refused and found my calling in business which I started out of my pocket money N789,000. No one gave me millions to start a business.

“Anyway I'm tired It's really easy for women to try to bring other women down. It's fun because it makes them feel good about themselves. It gives those women a temporary relief of the fact that their own lives is in shambles or the person too is not perfect but who is perfect anyway? Business now a few years later with life’s ups and down, with all my mistakes and wrong doings, its booming thanks to my lord and savior Jesus Christ,” she wrote.
