“Hola Hola” crooner Sugar Boy is now getting all the necessary attention from his label G-Worldwide as he prepares to release his album.
The dancehall singer whose real name is Umoren Akanimoh Felix dishes out on a few insights and what to expect from his upcoming debut album “BELIEVE“.

“I am basically inspired by my environment. I get ideas from the things that happen around me and even from people. Inspiration could come in whatever form, even in the unlikeliest of places. However, the most important thing is that my music is a product of hard work. A lot of work goes into polishing a song and making it presentable from the point of getting of getting the idea to releasing it to the public. Most times, it is a collaborative effort between me and my team as I am always open to suggestions.”
Sugar Boy was quick to dispel any beliefs that he is under pressure to outshine the efforts of his label mate Kiss Daniel as he chatted with Sunday Scoop crew.

“It is not a competition, rather we are brothers. I was featured on his albums, and he is also going to be on two songs in my forthcoming album as well so there is no pressure from anywhere. All I’m concerned about is making good music and I can assure my fans that I would never disappoint them,” he said.

The G-Worldwide music act shared some insight on his yet-to-be-released album “Believe”. He boldly stated his debut album will be the best album to be released in 2017.

“There are 22 songs on the album but I had to record about 40 tracks in all before selecting the ones that would eventually go on the album and I can tell you it was quite tough. Kiss Daniel had the best album of 2016 and I will be having the best album of 2017. Great things start from small beginnings and I believe I’m destined for the top of the industry.”

People were left in shock after a mystery and scary creature suddenly appeared in the sky to the consternation of all.

A mystery human figure which appeared in the sky has put fear in the heart of many shoppers in Zambia. The creepy figure which many referred to as an apparition looks like a gigantic humanoid with head and torso, tailing off into what could be long robes.

It was said to have been photographed in the sky above the Mukuba Mall in the city of Kitwe in north-central Zambia. The figure looks to be composed of a dark solid material rather than being made out of cloud formations themselves.

According to DailyStar, judged against the cars and buildings seen in the picture, the apparition would seem to be more than 100 metres long.
Zambian news outlets are reporting that eyewitnesses said the figure stayed in the sky for around half an hour, and seemed to be looking down on the shopping centre below it.

One eyewitness was quoted as saying: “We were shocked to see images that looked like a human in the clouds for close to 30 minutes. Some started worshipping but others ran away. It was so strange.”
It suddenly disappeared afterwards.

Legendary Nigerian musician, King Sunny Ade, will no longer be performing at the 2017 Coachella Festival.

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (commonly referred to as Coachella or the Coachella Festival) is an annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, located in the Inland Empire’s Coachella Valley, in the Colorado Desert.
Earlier in January 2017 we broke the news to you that the 2017 edition of the festival, which would hold between April 14-16 and April 21-23, would have the Nigerian legend perform with his band.
KSA’s name made the initial event promotional flyer distributed across social media and widely reported across the news.

He was also added to their website, as more performers were announced. He was meant to perform a set either on April Sunday 16 or 23.
Another superstar, Beyonce, had earlier pulled out of the show due to her pregnancy with twins. She was replaced by Lady Gaga, as a headliner and announced by the organisers, Goldenvoice and AEG Live.

Lady Gaga has shared a new event flyer, and Sunny Ade’s name is conspicuously missing. His name has also been removed from the official lineup on the concert website.

KSA, a Juju legend commemorated his 70th birthday with a ceremony in December 2016, at the Lagos, and auctioned one of his famous guitars, masterfully painted by award-winning artist, Victor Ehikhamenor, will be not playing his set at the event.

Last year’s edition saw African trio, The Young Fathers of Liberian and Scottish origin participate at the event alongside South African DJ, as Black Coffee. Pulse reached out to Clement Ige, King Sunny Ade’s manager, who was coy with his reply, asking our correspondents to talk to Coachella organisers.
“Do not rely on flyers,” he said. “Go and ask the organisers of the event if they are in contract with King Sunny Ade. Only then will I respond.”

Source also reached out to the organisers of the festival, and at the time of this report, there has been no official response.

King” Sunny Adé (born Sunday Adeniyi, 22 September 1946) is a Nigerian musician, singer- songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and a pioneer of modern world music.
He has been classed as one of the most influential musicians of all time and was inducted into the Hardrock Hall of Fame in 2016. He has released a record 123 albums.

It’s the biggest awards ceremony in Nollywood and probably the biggest in the African movie industry.
As such, the celebs who turned up should be in their best outfits – but that wouldn’t be going for singer, Simi.

Many fans were not too happy with the singer’s mini embellished dress which was designed by upcoming designer, Ilektra.

Meanwhile, Simi was feeling all the way up with her outfit ahead of the ceremony.

i'm wayyyyyyyy up. i feel blessed.

This Simi character needs to relax her chest. Your brand oftentimes sells your music. The way you dress contributes to your brand. Clean up

Simi has been keeping.it cool always but she definitely can’t take it any longer.

She ain’t worried about what people say about her dress, hair since she loves them.
After being blasted over the previous outfit she wore to perform at Big brother Naija eviction show last week Sunday, Popular Nigerian singing sensation, Simi didn’t care less about what was said of her she took her Instagram page to address those who speak ill of her dress sense.

Read what she wrote below ;

“Pray that my music breaks the norm and I become a better artist and win Grammies…cos I pray that you make it in life. All Love. All GodAnd before u say I should ignore, I’m not upset. At all. I just hate to see ppl so worked up abt something that is not stopping my blessingsU don’t like my dress or hair. I’ve heard. I like it. I love it. I’m living my dream. Be happy for me. Cos tbh, I’m happy for me.Funny how it’s women that enjoy bashing other women (with good intentions. Lol). If one is comfy n happy, y are u tighting it to ur chest?Lol. If you take this energy and invest it in ur life sweetie, my needle and thread dress won’t bother you. And I mean well.”

Simi has always had controversies on her social media pages either about her body size, br**sts or dress sense but she never fails to give her sincere thoughts on every issue.

Following the shade video made by upcoming act BLU for fast rising act, Mr Eazi that was leaked online, the former’s label and management, Blu Record Label, Highpulse Entertainment, have released a statement, apologizing for the leak and what was said on the video.
The statement reads thus:
This morning, we received the news regarding our artiste, BLU who throws shade on Mr. Eazi. It’s quite unfortunate that the Video got uploaded on our official YouTube channel and published on social media without proper authorisations.
We have conducted investigations and found out what went wrong which we wouldn’t want to bother anybody with the details, rather we wish to apologize for what has happened, because it is our fault and we take full responsibility.
We regret the happening, BLU is a wonderful artist who is highly talented.
The story behind this is that, BLU made a Cover of Runtown’s Mad Over You just like Mr. Eazi did. It was a success and the download was good so he has always celebrated it just like any fast rising artist would, but we try as much as we can to curtail the feelings. A little out of our site and it happened.
Our apologies to Mr. Eazi, his management and his fans for what was said on the video, it’s unnecessary and ugly.

And to our own fans, we are sorry things like this got out to the media. We will make up for this, BLU will make up for this.
Thank You & God Bless!

Veteran artiste, Zaaki Azzay, has charged young Nigerian acts to be original.
Zaaki, who described the Nigerian music industry as a war front advised artistes to learn to be original and stop copying.
In his words:

“I’m able to evolve like this because I’ve often said that Mercedes is Mercedes. Mercedes is Mercedes 40-years ago, it’s still the same today. It’s the same with music, you should improve on your brand, improve on your songs, you must not start sounding like another artiste because he is reigning. You can’t all be like Wizkid, Davido or P’Square because they are on top now, just improve your brand. It’s like a war front, you have to retreat and plan; you don’t just go out, everyday you set out, if you are a proper person, you will set out where you are going to, you have meetings, appointments, you have to strategize, things have changed.”
