Aki speaks on fight with Pawpaw

Chinedu Ikedieze aka Aki has opened up on a rumoured fight with Osita Iheme alias Pawpaw.

Many Nollywood lovers have been wondering why the comic duo no longer feature in same movies.

But Aki told Punch that all is well between him and Pawpaw.

He said, “I just finished shooting a film with my friend, Pawpaw. We have not been working together like in the past because we are both engaged in different projects.

“I am still shooting The Johnsons family series. When they gave us a month break, I quickly went to shoot two films with Pawpaw.

“I have kept many producers waiting, but some of them looked for other options. I am busy; Pawpaw is busy too.

“We don’t have any problem. I don’t like people carrying rumours which explains why I don’t grant interviews any longer.

“The chemistry between me and Pawpaw is still there on and off the screen as he is more like a brother to me.”

This comes just days after his blistering diss track, The Story of Adidon in which he accused Drake of being a deadbeat father, called out Drake’s father of same, and also didn’tt spare Drake’s mum. The most controversial aspect of the diss was the cover art, which shows Drake wearing blackface.

As expected, Drake cleared the air about this, noting the creative vision which tried to throw light on the struggles of African American actors in the white-dominated entertainment industry.

And while everyone is waiting for Drake’s response, Pusha T, who is now being accused of comparing black people to monkeys, claims Drake is seeking to dig up dirt about him.

We guess the feud is not ending anytime soon.

JENIFA’S DIARY ACTRESS, PASCHALINE OKOLI REVEALS THAT SHE IS NOT A LESBIAN

Fast-rising Anambra State-born actress, Paschaline Alex Okoli, has addressed some rumours which have trailed her in recent times as she spoke about her career, life, relationship and more.

While speaking in an exclusive interview with Daily Sun, Paschaline Alex Okoli, who claimed that she has been labeled a snob and even a lesbian, has cleared the air on why people misunderstand her personality. She also talks about her kind of man, premarital s*x, lesbian rumours and lots more.

 Here are excerpts from the interview ;
How has the year 2018 been for you?

So far, it has been so good. The year has been ‘litty litty’, if you know what I mean.

Any plan to go into movie production?

For now, no! Maybe before the year ends, something might come up in terms of movie production.

Aside Jenifa’s Dairy, you are hardly seen in regular movies, why?

I do movies too, but not regularly.

Which movie brought you into the limelight?

College Girls, the pay was nothing to write home about, but in all I am grateful.

How supportive are your parents concerning your chosen career?

My mum gave me one million per cent support from the beginning. But my dad was not in support the first time he knew about it. But being someone that is as stubborn as her father, the old man had to accept by force, after much persuasion.

Talking about stubbornness, we’ve heard people say you are also snobbish, how true is this?

Wow! Snobbish? That’s not true at all. Being stubborn and snobbish are two different things. People that don’t know me see me as a snobbish little lady. But, I can’t go about trying to make people understand me. If you know me, you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Aside movies what else do you do?

I run a cleaning company, #Weclean. It is actually my personal little company.

How long have you been in it and how did you start the business?

Apostle Suleman speaks on OAP’s videos and he said ‘He want to love Daddy Freeze’

Founder of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman has said controversial On-Air media personality, Daddy Freeze is not his enemy.

Suleman, speaking during Sunday sermon in his church, said contrary to reports, he had never watched Freeze’s videos because he wants to love him.

The cleric said he would hate Freeze and have his relationship with God thwarted if he watched his videos.

According to him, Freeze was still his brother, noting that “the enemies of the kingdom are those against the church,brothers can disagree on doctrines and still be brothers.

“I have never watched a video against Freeze because I still want to love him, when I meet him and not hate him.

“You do not conclude a story after hearing one version, we live in a generation where people take one part of a story and analyse it

“I was told freeze took up my video last Sunday and was analysing it. This is the first time I’m calling his name and there is no need to watch his video not because of arrogance but so that I would not have an impression bad about him.

“I want to see someone like him on the road and hug him and shake his hands.I would not watch his video because I still want to love him and if I do it would affect me and my relationship with God that’s why I don’t watch such video.

“Analysing me or what I said was very wrong because I have not watched him, Freeze has abused me severally but I thank him for calling me names, in the days of persecution they will call you names but when he goes through his own persecution I will stand by him.

“The enemies of the kingdom are those against the church,brothers can disagree on doctrines and still be brothers.”,

TOP 10 RICHEST MUSICIANS IN NIGERIA AND THEIR NET WORTH IN 2018

The Music and Entertainment industry is one of the best things that happened to the sleeping giant called Nigeria.

Besides the oil & gas sector, the entertainment industry is about the most viable sector of our economy.

Our dear Nigerian musicians have been doing us proud and they make several millions to show for their hard work.

In this post, we will be giving a rough analysis and ranking of the top 10 RICHEST musicians in Nigeria.

The figures of their net worth are drawn from cumulative wealth, gig fee, endorsements and probable investments by these artists.

In the last calendar year, some of our top artists have been able to rake in loads of money for themselves and we would hence rank the big top 10.

10. Flavour / Olamide


Contemporary highlife king Flavour and street mafia Olamide are tied for the tenth position in the ranking of top 10 RICHEST Nigerian musicians.

Flavour who is a fantastic live performer makes huge money from performing at high profile gigs.

The singer is a brand ambassador for brands like Bullet Energy Drink, Hero Beer etc.

Meanwhile, Olamide also charges quite a huge fee for shows, the Bariga born artist runs a yearly tour across UK, Europe, and America. He is a Hennessy & Glo ambassador and CEO of digital TV channel VOTS (Voice of the street).

The estimated net worth of both Flavour and Olamide is pegged at around N3.2 billion.

9. Banky W


Olubankole Wellington is an all round boss and he has the money to show for it.

A big status of his changed last year when Mr. Capable said bye bye to bachelorhood as he married actress Adesua Etomi.

Banky W is a huge brand influencer and rakes in millions of Naira as brand ambassador for multinational companies like Samsung, Uber etc.

The singer has also dived into acting, film production, event host, and public speaking. His estimated net worth is put to be around N3.5 billion.

8.Timaya


Born Enitimi Alfred Odom, the Nigerian dancehall king is one of the top 10 richest artists in the game. The DM Records boss is not cheap when it comes to his gig fee.

According to close sources, Timaya charges 8 million Naira to show up and perform at any event.

Currently, Timaya has endorsements deals worth several millions with Nigerian TeleCo Glo and Cognac brand Hennessy.

A few months back Timaya moved into a palatial mansion of a house in Lekki worth hundreds of millions. Timaya’s estimated net worth is put at N4 billion.

7. Paul Okoye

Rudeboy member of the defunct Psquare duo takes number 7 spot. Paul Okoye and his brother used to dominate the African music scene until they split up last year.

The duo used to charge about highest gig fee for a Nigerian artist, that has somehow changed as he stands alone.

Notwithstanding, Rudeboy is still a big shot in the music business with his estimated net worth valued at about N5.6 billion.

6. Peter Okoye

The other half of the defunct Psquare duo, Peter Okoye aka Mr. P is still doing fine as a solo artist.

Even before the split, Peter had solo endorsements deals with Kia motors, Olympic Milk etc. Since the breakup, Mr. P has embarked on solo tours around America, Europe etc.

The dancer and singer has a new clothing line in the works awaiting official unveiling. His estimated net worth is N5.8 billion.

5. 2Baba


With over two decades strong in the Nigerian Entertainment industry, Innocent Idibia better known as 2Face or 2Baba is a double OG.
