Wyre, who was nominated for the best male artiste category in the 2014 World Music Awards, is setting his sights on the apex musical award now. He’s received multiple nods for local and international awards in the past, including the once prestigious MOBOs.
His compatriot Lupita Nyong’O became the first Kenyan to win an Oscar on Sunday March 2.
Speaking to Citizen TV’s Lilian Muli, on the One on One segment, Wyre said that his aim, apart from winning a Grammy, was to open up East Africa to the international reggae market.

Brymo free to pursue career as court lifts injunction

The injunction filed by record label Chocolate City against its estranged artiste, Brymo, has been lifted by Justice I. Buba of the Federal High Court sitting yesterday in Ikoyi Lagos.

The presiding judge stated that the singer needs to continue his career while the case is before the court.

‘Since the plaintiff (Chocolate City) can be compensated at a later date, the defendant is free to carry out his duties as a singer so that none of the parties will be at a disadvantage,’ Justice Buba said.

At the court sitting, Chocolate City’s counsel, T.O Lawal, insisted that the primary concern of the court should be the case of the contract breach by Brymo and not the failure of Chocolate City to fulfil its promise as accused by Brymo.‘Because of the peculiarity of Brymo’s job, money cannot compensate the record label so the injunction should stand,’ Lawal said.

Brymo’s counsel, Nike Olagbede, after apologising to the court for her unruly behaviour last week, argued that Brymo was right to quit the record label, as the latter could not fulfil its promises.

‘An underground artiste signed for a record label in good faith and believed his career will be propelled. All that was promised was not fulfilled and the singer couldn’t promote himself. He wants to be released because artistes in this music industry have a short career span,‘ she told the court.

Brymo’s counsel also told the court that Chocolate City informed Brymo that they wouldn’t be able to fund his second album because they were financing other artistes on the label. It was also revealed that Brymo signed a five-year and three-album contract with Chocolate City, which was due to expire on April 13, 2016.

After lifting the injunction, the judge adjourned the case to give the counsels time to provide witnesses to back up their claims. The case has been adjourned till March 19, 2014.

Dressed in all-black native attire, Brymo was in court with his father and his girlfriend. The artiste declined to comment on the judge’s interlocutory ruling, insisting SUNNYKISSBLOG talks to his counsel, Olagbede.
Olagbede confirmed the lifting of the injunction, but was reluctant to speak further on the case.
‘I don’t have the full details of what the judge just said. The injunction, of a truth, has been lifted, but I cannot say more at this point until I get the details,’ she told SUNNYKISSBLOG.
No well-known Chocolate City rep was present at the court and the counsels were not available to comment on the lifting of the injunction against Brymo.

Popular Singer, Alariwo Publicly Embarrassed At Lagos Event

It was a show of shame at an event, which held in Lagos recently, and which was anchored by notable musician, Alariwo of Africa. 
The popular singer was allegedly insulted by an up and coming rapper.

According to reports, the budding artiste told Alariwo in clear terms that he could not stop his music career, no matter what.

 
This was after the artiste had performed at the event held at Niteshift Coliseum, Ikeja, Lagos. The artiste was angry with Alariwo shortly before he mounted the stage to perform at the event, which was an awards ceremony.

One of the eyewitnesses informed us that several efforts made by the rookie artiste to do his thing at the peak of the show were futile.

So, when he was finally called to display his talent, he used the opportunity to inform Alariwo that “even you can't stop me.”

The statement left Alariwo speechless for minutes, and he could not hide his anger at the utterance directed at him by the new artiste. All Alariwo could say was, “trust me, I pray you grow, but you will still pay homage to those before you.”

Guests at the awards ceremony were surprised by the show of sha

I Have Plans To Go Back To School - Tuface Idibia

Innocent Idibia popularly known as Tuface Idibia in an interview talks about his music, kids and plans for his education.

When asked if Tuface is a player, he replied, "If I were a player, they wouldn’t have caught me like that."
And on his role as a father, Tuface who has six kids from different women said it has not been easy, sometimes his work entails a lot of travelling and as such he does not see his kids as often as he wants to and although he had planned to have just one wife and kids, he has accepted things the way they have turned out.
When asked if he'll have qualms about his children following his footsteps, he simply said, "he won't discourage any of his children if they decide to follow in his footsteps musically. As a matter of fact, he'll be a good adviser."
A good thing though is that Tuface definitely plans to go back to school to get a law degree but he is not certain when that will be.
On why it took so long to settle with his wife Annie, he said, "I don’t really have an answer to that question, because I don’t know. I can’t explain why I don’t have an answer to that, but somehow, by the grace of God, we are still together."
So, why Tuface/2Face?
According to the artistes, it is a way of letting his fans know that his public and private lives are two separate entities. So the Tuface they see in the public, on TV, in papers, and hear on the radio is the public figure, who is different from who he really is.
We can say it's a case of Tuface(the star) and Innocent (the man).
On fame and worth?
Tuface says fame "takes away your privacy and freedom to do some kind of simple, basic things. Like I can’t go to Iya Christopher to sit down and eat amala, the way I dey do before". And as touching money/value, he says, "I never gather, but I dey try."
Tuface has also attributed his journey so far to hard work, his fans and the grace of God.

What is the state of your health?

The state where we are is the state we actually need a transplant. When early diagnosis was done it was just a case of Renal Infection. Right now, the two kidneys are gone,but we a running dialysis at the moment.

When did you observe that you have this illness?

It was two years ago, but it was not depreciated to this level. Then it was a gradual process. it was just like a doctor’s prescription to control your blood pressure level. we did all that , but having off and on experience until it got to this stage.

What would you attribute to this ailment?

Most time people tend to atribute kidney problem to drunkenness or smoking. I was told that it doesn’t have anything to do with that, because as much as i drink and smoke then, it was casual drinking. maybe, they offer you a bottle of drink and all that, not that i have to drink 15 bottles or drink all through the day.

How much do you need for a transplant?

For transplant itself, it varies, because the procedure is $25000. The whole process of the treatment from pre-process,transplanting and post-transplanting will cost about $100,000. I(n two years i have spent up to five million which i have been trying to maintain myself. that is why it has been kept secret.
 
When are you going for the transplant?

God willing, i have like 8 to 10 weeks more to get it done. It’s strange, i still walk around a little. I can’t eat much again, N20 rice is even enough. I trust God and Nigerians for their financial assistance.
