P-SQUARE TO RELEASE ALINGO CARTOON SERIES
Africa's foremost twin celebs P-square raised the hope of their fans early this year when Peter announced the soon to be released animated series 'The Alingos'. We are yet to see the cartoons even though they have blamed the failure of the project on their disagreement at a time.
"To herald the launch of The Alingos, the brothers are releasing a teaser – an animated music video for their hit single ‘Unlimited’. It is the first high quality animated video in Nigeria and by extension the whole of Africa. This animated music video is 100% Nigerian; no foreign inputs and is created in High Definition with superior picture and sound quality, as expected from the duo. The production quality compares to anywhere in the world.
The public and fans of P-Square will get to watch the ‘Unlimited’ animated video as well as The Alingos (when it hits the screens) by first downloading the P-Square app (P2) due for release next week."
9ICE QUITS MUSIC FOR POLITICS
9ice has never hidden his political ambition. The Gongo aso hit singer who is gunning for a house of Reps slot said he was done wiyh music and was making a full plunge into politics this year. 9ice has stepped up his campaign and awareness programs but shockingly, when his fans thought he was done, he released a new single recently.

MR SONGS SAYS HIS PARENTS ARE RELATED
Five star artist Mr Songs popularly known as Harrysongs drew so much attention in an interview when he said his parents were related, a statement he later denied.
“It’s just that after my dad and my mum gave birth to me, they separated and went their different ways. So, my father got married to another woman and also my mother to another man. They separated because I was given birth to by two relations. My father and mother are actually brother and sister. They gave birth to me before they could realize that.Well, I learnt that when my mother was alive, she met my father. Then she was still in school and they were in the same class and the same village. But she didn’t know that they are closely related. So, I was born based on what our villagers regarded as abomination and therefore they had to separate. Because it was a big abomination, so they had to separate. Even, they attempted to kill my father in that village, but he fled, because in Warri where I come from, it is a taboo. They termed it incest.”
