Inside Beyonce’s 5-Star Hospital Room

We all know how Jay Z and Beyonce tried as much as possible to keep the birth of their first child Blue Ivy Carter  away from the prying eyes of the media and general public.

As Bey’s EDD neared, the couple rented the entire fourth floor of Lenox Hill Hospital, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side for her delivery. The hospital’s management had instructed that all staff hand in their cell phones in an effort to caution ‘unauthorized photographs’ or clips of the mother and the ‘newly born’.

Reports say the hospital constructed a suite for VIPs which ‘looks like a Four Seasons penthouse’ and the room’s first occupant was Beyonce and co.

TMZ recently published photos of the room and here are some stunning features: There are 4 flat screen TV’s, state of the art electronics, a kitchenette, nice art, mahogany walls, plush furnishings and an extra bed!

Faze – It’s A Pity

R&B superstar Faze has decided to speak up amidst the ongoing unrest around the world, with Nigeria as his main focus. “It’s A Pity” is a new joint which he delivers over Rihanna’s “Man Down” instrumental. It’s good to see the major names lending out their voices in support of the #OccupyNigeria cause.
In related news, Faze’s “Refazed” album is ready. More details on the release date will be revealed in the very near future.


“Why don’t you try to strum your guns like it’s guitar?”

Occupy Nigeria: Guess Who We Caught ‘Dressing Up’

Sir Shina Peters At DAY 3, Occupy Nigeria Protest

 Sir Shina peters is gradually having his career back. Down for several years; especially since the tragedy of his participation in Abacha’s infamous ‘Million Man march’; the Afrojuju star is hugging the limelight again. He’s back in the concert arena, and working with his longtime producer and collaborator Laolu Akins on a new album that’s expected soon.
And when the mass protests began on Monday, we were too certain SSP would show up and identify with the people. He’s said he’s sorry for dining with Abacha; and, if you saw him taking off his clothes in the open at Ojota, so he can wear an occupy Nigeria T-Shirt before mounting the stage, you’d know he means it…

NETPod: ‘Excuse Me Sir’ – GT the Guitarman

‘Concious’ and ‘Outspoken’ – two words that best describe singer/guitarist GT the Guitarman.
The singer who is well known for passing socio-political messages through his songs has always made his music revolve round self awareness. At a time when Nigeria is re-evaluating its leadership, GT resurfaces (after a long period of time following his departure from former label Storm Records) with a new single called ‘Excuse me sir‘.
Surprisingly, GT delivers over a hi-tempo, pacey tune. ‘In the midst of pain, it’s a shame but we still have time to make a change‘, GT sings. The ambience the song provides satisfies the party poppers’ playlist yet carries a very strong message  - Change.

NETPod: ‘Knock, Knock, Knock’ – Lagbaja

Nobody understands how Lagbaja has managed to remain relevant over the years.

While other artistes engage their fans with radio/TV interviews, Twitter et al, the Africano star uses his most powerful tool – the message behind his music to captivate us.

Lagbaja’s twist of humour, sarcasm, social and moral standards never bores us and on his latest single ‘Knock, Knock, Knock’, which depicts love-gone-bad tale, his coarse yet melodious voice paints a vivid picture.

The video does justice as well….

Video: Pop or Pour Champagne? Davido Debuts ‘Dami Duro’

It’s about a year since Davido debuted with his ‘Back when’ single and video. It seems like ages now with his second single ‘Dami Duro’ hitting the airwaves and tearing up clubs.

The young pop singer can be quite energetic on stage and definitely brings the whole drama in his music videos;

The video for ‘Dami Duro’, directed by the ubiquitous Clarence Peters doesn’t fall out of place in comparison to the song. Lavish lifestyle (he even pours out the content of expensive drinks to prove his point), fast cars and women with heavy makeup – Davido tells us not to even think about stopping him – he’s from a line of wealthy men.

NETPod: ‘Setting P’ + ‘Lowkey’ – Banky W

y Osagie Alonge

It’s taken him about two years to release brand new singles for his numerous fans spread across and beyond but I guess it’s worth the wait.

The EME boss has been quite busy; grooming his label acts Wizkid and Skales and yes the results have been fruitful. But before we forget that the singer first made an entry to the scene with his music and not his business sense, he whets our appetite with two new singles Setting P and Lowkey, from his forthcoming album R&BW.

Setting P (which is a slang used to describe covert ways of initiating an intimate relationship with someone) is hard hitting with the drums. Banky‘s swift and melodious delivery does justice to Masterkraft’s up tempo beat.

Low key, produced by Sarz, takes on the opposite route; slow and classy, Banky reminds us why he is considered one of the best in his field. Not bad at all.

Occupy Nigeria: ‘Coffin For Head-of-State’

The photos speak for themselves. Some protesters at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom park, Ojota, paraded this white ‘coffin’ with the inscription ‘R.I.P. JONAT-HARM’. And they had our beloved President’s photo on it…
