Nigerian Stars Wow Fans At Felabration 2013

The crowd at the New Afrika Shrine can only be described as massive. The shrine was filled to the brim even as many struggled to get inside to catch the excitement live. Top rate musicians like Wizkid, Waje, Temi Dollface, Aiyetoro Band, Seyi Shay, Sean Tizzle, SolidStar, and Kayswtich were on hand to thrill the mammoth crowd.

Perhaps the most anticipated performance of the night, Wizzy practically shut the place down as he took the surging crowd through his numerous hits.

Starting from “No lele” off his debut album, he ran through other songs, performing with the full complement of a band as the audience sang along rapturously. At a point, he was joined by legendary Femi Kuti as they both performed “Jaiye Jaiye” to the immense delight of the crowd.

“I Am NO More Sexually Active” – Says Femi Kuti

In a recent interview with a national newspaper, 51 year old son of Late Afrobeat Legend, Fela Kuti, Femi Kuti revealed that he’s no more sexually active because he now has so many responsibilities to attend to.

“That is not true, I am no more sexually active. When you see a beautiful woman, when you reach my age and you have responsibility like myself, you  will know what I am talking about. Before now, as a young man, you would want to go after her. There are many nights I go and sleep alone not because I don’t have girlfriends or want a girlfriend, when I think of the responsibility I have  in my life, I will immediately have a rethink.

I Use Marijuana To Relax & Cool Off - Says Seun Kuti

What's amazing is that Seun Kuti, the last born of the late Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti recently admitted in an open interview that he takes 'Igbo' to cool off and relax and nobody is raising any highbrow about it. The other day Tonto Dikeh displayed a picture of indian hemp with on her timeline, virtually everybody lampooned her and called her all sorts of name.

Here's what Seun said, "The Indian hemp should not be abused. It is good for mankind. I take Igbo (Indian hemp), but not for performance. I take it to relax and cool off. It is ideal for good sleep, arouses appetite, used to treat cancer, relieves pains, clears the head and relaxes the nerves."

He also said the government frowns about Igbo as illegal, "Our government sees Igbo as illegal because it is a black man’s inheritance and not from white people; maybe if it was from Europe like cigarette, it would have been legalised.
