Dr Sid releases hot new single - Afefe (Breeze)

 Sporting a new hair cut and a slimmer waistline, Dr Sid is back with his latest hit ‘Afefe’, which trended on twitter last week. After his dazzling performance alongside Wande Coal at the ‘Love Afrobeats Festival’, headlined by P Square, Dr Sid, real name Sidney Onoriode Esiri isn’t wasting any time with his new music.

 The ‘Chocolate’ crooner flew into the UK to shoot the video directed by renowned director Sesan Ogunro. Set for release at the end of next month, ‘Afefe’, which means ‘Breeze’, is a clever play on a Nigerian proverb, while Dr Sid promises to cool down the ladies in the catchy chorus. This is the latest track to be released and does not feature on the new Mavin Records album ‘Solar Plexus’. It’s a stand a lone track made especially for the clubs- a certified club banger produced by BlayzeBeats.

"God forbid we don't.."MI writes on the Rick Ross 'Hold Me Back' video shot in Nigeria

Below are the words from the mr Incredible himself after a lot of mixed reactions from Nigerians on the new Rick Ross video.

Does it make you angry? Does it rile you to see your country portrayed as poor and suffering and full of struggle?

It burns you, does it not? To have some foreigner- who knows nothing of your history and pain, of the stories that flow within your blood- to have this foreigner come in and tell your story?

Is it not the height of disrespect and insensitivity? Does it not chafe against the thick skin you have grown to cover your other wounds?

Does it not make you angry?

We should wax sanctimonious about national pride being slighted.

We should vent our displeasure online.

Ripples as US rapper films Lagos slums

 

American rapper, Rick Ross, is once again causing a stir in Nigeria. This time he is not making fans scream out his name in ecstasy from his rapping prowess, but rather generating controversy with his Nigerian version of the music video, Hold me Back, released earlier this week.

The video, directed by DRE and SpiffTV films, uses Lagos to illustrate Ross’ lyrics. The video currently making waves online shows Lagos at its worse.

Probably shot in one or several of the slums in Lagos, it shows pictures of children in the slum, gun-trotting policemen   and crowded buses in motion, with conductors hanging onto the door.

One of the comments that have greeted the video is that Ross has succeeded in ‘washing Nigeria’s and indeed Lagos’ dirty linen in the public’. Although the song itself, which he begins with ‘These niggas want hold me back’, may not be particularly talking about issues in Nigeria, the argument borders on why he chose to use such pictures in the video.

While some have praised him for his honest and perhaps unbiased portrayal of the Nigerian situation, others have continued to criticise the rapper for ‘insulting’ the country.

Mikel Obi racially abused on twitter after defensive error against juventus.Deletes twitter account; Chelsea calls police

Mikel Obi today deleted his Twitter account after he was racially abused for 'costing' Chelsea victory in the opening match of their Champions League defence against Juventus on Wednesday Sept. 19th.

The match ended 2-2 and Chelsea fans blamed Mikel for giving the ball away just ten minutes before time and also not preventing the equalizing goal. After the end of the game, Chelsea fans racially abused Mikel on his Twitter account @Mikel12Official, prompting the Super Eagles midfielder to delete the account which he set up just a few months back.

Chelsea said they have informed the police after being made aware of the racist Tweets. A statement read:
 " We've been made aware of racist tweets targeted at Mikel which are totally unacceptable, disgusting and abhorrent. We've informed the police and support taking the strongest possible action."
