One of the twins star, Peter of PSquare has broken his silence on reports of his fight with Telecom Giant, GLO which apparently, may have caused him and his twin to lose their ambassadorial contract with the Telecom Coy. Recall we brought you news few days ago on how GLO has refused to renew PSquare’s contract as the company’s ambassador. According to reports, the decision was due to a shameful drama that ensued between Peter Okoye and representatives of GLO during the grand finale of his popular dance TV show “Dance With Peter”. It was said Peter didn’t handle the show well. He brought in Akon, held up recording of the finale for hours, insisted on things that were not part of the contract with Glo as the sole sponsor of the show and overreacted by insulting Glo in the process. All of this is coupled with the ongoing feud between him and his brothers Paul and Jude Okoye. Peter took to his Twitter handle at about 12 midnight last night to address the allegation. Read what he wrote b...

Popular rapper, Kanye West took to Twitter this evening in what appeared to be one of his unhinged rants, but this one just might be (mostly) warranted. He started off mentioning his two albums — ‘Dark Fantasy’ and ‘Watch the Throne — and lamented the fact that they didn’t win album of the year. He referred to someone who DOES have two albums of the year…and we all know he’s talking about Taylor Swift. Aside from that, the rest of his rant focused on music producer and keyboardist Bob Ezrin. Recently, Ezrin wrote aharsh critique of Kanye West as a person and his artistry. He even said Kanye’s production was “sophomoric at best.” “Kanye’s greatest achievements have been in the form of excessive behavior, egomaniacal tantrums and tasteless grandstanding,” Ezrin wrote. “What he is a true artist at is living his life out loud – and shoving it down the throats of the rest of us whether we give a shit or not. He’s like that flasher who interrupts a critical game by running naked across the...

There has been speculations that even though Ghanian dancehall artiste-Shatta Wale made a grand submission of his works a few weeks ago for consideration for the 2016 VGMAs, he wouldn’t be eligible to compete. Today, Charter House, the organisers of the annual VGMA has stated at a press conference that Shatta Wale has been banned from competing—and therefore his works wouldn’t be considered for nominations The ban is as a result of the unending insults Shatta Wale throws at them—with the recent being insults he bathed them with last year which he has not yet even apologized for. At this stage, it’s unclear what Shatta Wale’s next action would be—reasonably, he should go ahead to apologize so he can be considered for next year’s award.

According to Bloomberg Business, Puma’s 2015 fourth quarter earned a massive $975 million in sales, raising figures 17.1 percent from the year prior. So we can say, Puma’s decision to name Rihanna women’s creative director has paid off in a big way. The company was only projected to do $943 million. According to the brand, the sales surge is due in large part to its sneaker collaborations with Rihanna, and Puma CEO Bjoern Gulden added that Rihanna “can sell sneakers and Puma is onto something here which we haven’t seen yet in the women’s area.” Let’s not forget Puma just signed Kylie Jenner! Between Rih & Kylie, the brand is set for an incredible year.

Last night, Drizzy took to Instagram to tease the logo of what’s called ‘Virginia Black Whiskey.’ It’s unclear at this point how involved Drake is with the line, but we do think it’s a little odd he chose not to endorse a brand of Canadian Whiskey.
