Two artists who have had the same fortune in recent time are Kiss Daniel and Adekunle Gold. They both shocked the industry by dropping three back-on-back mega hits that made people believe and expect that’s the way it would keep going for them. But there’s every indication that one of them, Adekunle Gold, is currently stumbling. Though he’s currently preparing to drop his debut album, Gold, his latter single, Ready, has failed to really fly like his previous singles, Sade, Orente and Pick Up. Ready is not really spreading so no one is really talking of Gold again. But while Gold’s feathers have received a sort of trimming, Daniel, who also received the same trimming with his fourth single as well, Good Time, didn’t make any mistake with his fifth, Mama, which is blowing bigger by the day. Now, with Daniel’s album, already out and well received, and his latest video, Jombo, expected to do very well, Gold will have to really up his game or it might just be the end of the fairy tale for h...

Marriage is one of the most important institutions in the world. It’s so important that it’s said that he who findeth a wife foundeth a good thing. But as good as marriage is supposedly, it seems that marriage and entertainment don’t really do well together. Entertainment is one sector that takes its practitioners away from home a lot. But marriage is a union that prefers those in it to be together at all times preferably. So how would an entertainer, male or female, take care of his, her marriage when he, she is away mostly?

Some of these set f entertainers, when asked about their marital plans, would say they’ve no ...

Without a doubt, Mz Kiss and Splash are two of Nigeria’s most promising female artists, as they’ve already proved their talent with several moderately successful singles like Figure 8 and Spatacuz for Mz Kiss, and Church Agbasa especially for Splash. Nevertheless the talent reposing in them, they are yet to actually become genuinely musically successful like some of their colleagues whose names we don’t need to mention now.

And it just seems that all their hard work is about to pay off for them as their latest releases sound like they can become really popular. In the case of Mz Kiss, her release is a song, Ikilo (Advice), featuring Illbliss, and which in her usual style is a fiery number and definitely her best song since Figure 8. And for Splash, her latest release is a video, Come Over, featuring Cynthia Morgan, and the audi...
