Nicki Minaj denied entry to her own album party
American rapper-singer Nicki Minaj was early this week prevented from attending her own album release party.
This happened at about 2:30am on Monday at a New York club, when Nicki Minaj reportedly showed up with 25 people and cops never allowed her to enter with the people she brought.
Nicki Minaj wanted to celebrate the release of her new album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.
Reports say this occurred because the
venue was at capacity and there was nothing organisers and Police could
do to accommodate her.
Nicki was said to have scheduled to make an appearance alongside rappers and music producers Flo Rida and Fabolous but arrived at the event too late.
‘The YMCMB queen wasn’t happy about it, so she and her group just left’, one report said.

‘I don’t believe in God’ – Seun Kuti
He’s the youngest son of the late legendary Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and in terms of being controversial, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
If he isn’t protesting against fuel
hikes then he’s warning the Government not to put his grandmother’s face
on the cover of a proposed new currency. It’s safe to say Seun Kuti
is a man who doesn’t conceal his thoughts. He’s either making music or
stirring up some controversy somewhere. This time, he’s talking about
God.
When asked what God meant to him, Seun
Kuti simply and clearly refused to acknowledge his existence and the
existence of any other supernatural being.
‘I do not believe in God. I am not a
believer of anything supernatural. I don’t believe in God, Jesus
Christ, Mohammed, Ifa, Ogun, or whatever anybody uses as a reason to
explain simple actions of nature. God, to me, is in existence’ he said.
Those who knew Fela will tell you
grandfather and grandson share the same opinion. It is however hard to
qualify them as atheists. Ironically, Fela has been likened by some to a
demigod, as evidenced by his ‘mini-temple’ at the New Afrika Shrine in Ikeja.
Seun does believe in one thing for sure –
Nature. While he says he doesn’t smoke cigarettes, he has admitted to
smoking marijuana, which is actually a banned substance in Nigeria.
‘Yes, I do. But I don’t smoke
cigarette… I don’t believe any human being has the right to tell nature
what to do. Nature believes in the usefulness of marijuana. And I think
mankind is pompous. You don’t say earthquake or Tsunami is illegal. So,
why should marijuana, an equally natural thing, be illegal, even when
earthquakes and Tsunami are killing people’.
If you say contoversy runs in the family of the Felas,you are on point.
Seun, who is the band leader of Fela’s Egypt 80 band, is currently on tour in the UK.

Wande denies Marvins exit rumour
Contrary to reports that ace musician Wande Coal is leaving Marvins records and setting up his own record label,the Mushin to Mohits croner has debunked the rumour.
Several media had reported the talented singer was on the verge of leaving the MAVIN camp to setup his own outfit ‘Black Diamond Records‘.
However, in a statement released on the MAVIN website, Wande denied the news stating that ‘there have been no such plans’.
‘There have been no such plans, and I
wish to remain in Mavin Records. ’Mavin Records is my family and will
always remain so. I want to thank all my fans for continuing to support
me. We still have a very long journey ahead’, Wande Coal said in the statement.
But the rumours are nothing new. Before Mo’hits packed up,
it was generally believed Wande, one of the label’s more promising
properties, was seeking a way out. He spent the first lines of a recent
single ‘Been long you saw me‘ addressing those rumours.
Now that they’re resurfacing at Mavin,
pundits are wondering if there’s more to the speculation? ‘There has to
be a reason why he’s the only one being rumoured to be leaving. He has
either considered it, or discussed the possibilities with people. But
generally, I believe there’s something fuelling all the talks’ one
industry insider who asked not to be named told us this morning.
Wande Coal (real names: Oluwatobi Wande Ojosipe) hooked up with Don Jazzy and D’banj
and got signed to the defunct Mo’hits records in 2006. He released his
debut ‘From Musin 2 Mo’Hits’ in 2008 to wide critical and
commercial acclaim.
