Tinny Entertainment signee, YCEE has opened up on the incident that led to M.I warning him against putting up disrespectful comments about Chocolate City on social media.

The incident happened a while ago, after YCEE endorsed an article that praised the man-handling of Tinny Entertainment while questioning the operations of Chocolate City executives in managing the careers of their signee.

M.I took offence with the publishers of the article and YCEE and it became a major topic in the entertainment world, with some speculations suggesting that the two artistes are at loggerheads. However, YCEE has revealed in a recent interview with HipTV that he meant no disrespect to M.I and that he only endorsed the article because of the facts about Tinny Entertainment it contained.

YCEE further said he doesn’t want to been seen as the artistes that disrespects the veterans in the industry.

Afro-house singer Niniola, has giving a piece of advice to the up and coming artistes as she said the music industry is beyond the facade that talent alone can guarantee a successful career.

The ‘Sicker’ singer, who released her sophomore album earlier than expected, said this during a recent media tour in the UK. In a chat with Factory78, the singer said thriving in the music industry requires money more than talent and that upcoming acts need to invest in their career.

Niniola said;

In 2013 I went for a competition and I became the third runner-up and I got my prize money. With the prize money I invested in my career. I sought out one of the best producer Sarz and told him I wanted a hit song and that’s when I met my manager.

“When you’re not in the music industry on the outside, you think talent would take you places but it’s not. My manager told me ‘you need funds to promote and print CD jackets’.

“It’s a very capital intensive industry and so as an upcoming artiste you have to leave everything aside and invest in your career because at the end of the day it’s for you and you reap what you have sowed,” she said. “Growing up in Lagos was fun. I come from a large family, I had cousins and relatives living in the house. We were up to about 30 or 40 living in the house at the time and obviously we couldn’t make our foods ourselves so we had cooks.

It was like the Fuji house of commotion. “I listened to my parents records like Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers and Nigerian music. And that way I didn’t know I was training my voice by mimicking the voices that I heard. Niniola said she wasn’t one to write songs, much less her own.

She said;

If anyone had told me ten years ago that I would be writing my own songs I’d be like ‘it’s a lie’ because I always told myself ‘you can’t write anything’. A little confidence boost from prolific producer Cobahms Asuquo, after being berated by other producers, was all she needed to push herself to write her own songs.

On her musical aspirations, the singer said; “I would like to open for Beyonce”. When asked about what it is like being a female artiste, the singer said; I’m very proud of every female artiste in Nigeria because it is not an easy feat to be a female artiste but I’d like for us to continue with love. On what inspired her album, ‘This is Me‘, she said: It is Niniola basically saying this is me, this is who I am.

This is what I can do. I can jump on any track- dance tracks, I can sing ballads and do whatever I want with my voice.

In the song “you rappers should fix up yourselves the rapper(M.I) was thinking hip hop was gradually fading out in Nigeria as most rappers are now turning to singers..

This is poetry at it’s peak masterminds at their fullest this is the beginning of the end.. This is the rebirth of hip hop.. This is a must listen..
