Nanle also tells NET that a video for the remix has already been shot. It was directed by Clarence Peters.

2011 was busy for the ‘superstar’ rapper; he released his debut album and performed in a quite a number of African countries and the UK.

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!

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…
