Tuface expecting baby no3?

I think Pero reads this blog, so she might come after me after reading this, but I'm sure I can take her up on a girl to girl combat...lol.

Here's what I read in City People today. They said she's pregnant again with Tuface's baby. They already have a cute daughter, named Esi, born in May 2005. Now they say she's about to pop baby number 2 and might be walking down the aisle with the singing sensation. I've always hoped Tuface will end up with his longtime girlfriend Annie Macaulay, but if Pero is pregnant again, then it's time for Annie to exit the building. There's just so much a woman can take. Good luck to Pero and Tu baba.

The first part is a collection of dance hall tracks, while the second part is made up of RnB songs. Featured in the album are singers like Singupon, P'Santa, Georgee and of course his wife and manager, Ure Ukezie.

Fuji musician Wasiu Alabi Pasuma, released a new album titled Stability, on Christmas day. According to the Kwara-born singer who recently clocked 40, Stability is one album which sheds light on the present state of the Fuji music industry. Here's what he had to say.

Pasuma "I thank God for what he has done with my career and it is obvious that I have carved a niche for myself, so I am stable. 2007 has been a good year for me and I have been able to achieve at least 10% of what I want to achieve, that is, taking Fuji music to the next level. For me to achieve more, I have to be stabilized. That is why I titled the album 'Stability'"

The news now is that Idris publicly apologised to 50 at the Kora launch where he also performed. The apology was broadcast live on TV and it has since become the subject of discussion in the entertainment industry. Why did Idris apologise to 50 cent? Here's what he said.

Ruggedman, Pasuma, D Banj turn bar tenders at Soundcity Blast 07.

Soundcity Blast 07 was nothing but a concept built on creativity and beautiful innovation, as top Nigerian artistes including Ruggedman, D Banj, Pasuma, Weird MC, P Square etc, took turns in bar tending. The event which took place on Saturday Dec 23rd 2007, at the Ocean View Restaurant. According to the guests, each artiste was assigned to a bar, strategically located at different corners of the hall with their names on it. They were made to act as bar men, serving the guests drinks. It was quite funny as the guests went to their favorite artistes, ordering them around to serve them drinks of their choice.

Nice concept huh?

Will bring you more later. Got to get to bed, I'm a bit tired.

Later.
