‘I’m Not in Competition With OLAMIDE’ - Phyno

Phyno teamed up with Olamide to release a new ‘ghetto gospel’ song titled‘ Fada Fada’.

Already, he seems to be reaping the fruits of the ‘gospel’ song. ‘I’m already playing church gigs. I’m doing it for God. I’m getting paid of course,’ he said this morning on Beat FM in an interview with Olisa, Maria and Osi.

He also took time out to praise Olamide who he’s been working with since he broke out in the industry.

New Video: Darey Art Alade ft. Olamide - Asiko Laiye

The video tells a story of two male characters going after success in their different endeavours and refusing to give up even after failing with their first attempts.

They try again and end up recording huge success. Shot in Lagos by prolific video director Moe Musa on behalf of Livespot Entertainment, the video features cameo appearances from Ali Baba and Zaina.

Nigerian Celebrities To Watch in 2014

Some young actors and artistes got into the entertainment industry and somehow, became bigger than those who have been there before them. Last year was an eventful year for some of them and it is most likely that they would surpass their fans’ expectations in 2014. Nw here's the lists some of the actors/artistes that are likely to set the entertainment industry ablaze in 2014.

BON/IBAN Bans Several Artists Including 2face, D'banj, Iyanya, Because of COSON

For quite some time now, the Copyrights Society of Nigeria (COSON), has been harassing the Broadcasting Society of Nigeria (BON) and the Independent Broadcasting Society of Nigeria, IBAN, insisting that they pay royalties for playing the songs of Nigerian artists. COSON has dragged several radio and TV stations to court, demanding millions, sometimes billions of Naira in royalty.

Well, it seems IBAN and BON have had enough. Two days ago, they announced the ban of all Nigerian artists registered with COSON. Meaning that they ordered the immediate stop to the airing of songs of artists who are COSON members.

The artists include 2face Idibia, D'banj, Onyeka Onwenu, Iyanya, Banky W, Flavour, Ice Prince, Dr Sid, Olamide, 9ice, M.I, eLDee, Ruggedman, Wizkid, Asa, Waje, Omawumi and several others.

Why Should NBC Ban Wizkid & Phyno's Songs & Not That Of Olamide & Wande Coal - Charles Novia

The Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) came out with a list of NTBB songs (Not To Be Broadcast). Though such songs have been on the airwaves for months but I guess it’s better late than never. The songs are Whizkid’s ‘The Matter’ and Phyno’s ‘Man of the year’

On social media, a predictable furore has been generated by the NBC’s action. Fans and friends of the concerned artists have been expressing their angst over the ban with some asking what yardstick was used in placing such a ban. As amusing and sometimes annoying one finds some of those comments, which I think stem from an emotive viewpoint rather than logical, I have to pity such commentators because I believe they actually are the ones the songs have corrupted in the first place.
