Rapper, Ikechukwu opens up- 'Why I'm close to D'banj and not Don Jazzy'

"I have heard a lot about my relationship with D'banj. Some people call me his houseboy, bouncer, and the rest, but let me say this, I have been close to D'banj since day one.

The first time I saw him was at Obi Asika's house, when he was about signing to Storm Records...and if you're observant, you would have discovered that we have similar features; he's lepa just like me and we have same swagger. So we've created some kind of bond right from time which I was not opportuned to share with Don Jazzy. I only find people that find me, simple! Those that I am important to are those that are important to me. I am just chilling with D'banj and now that he's making a stand abroad, it's going to be stupid of me not to utilize the situation he already has. So, we are not just friends, we are also doing business" - The rapper tells Encomium magazine in an exclusive interview 

Charly Boy leaving Nigerian Idol? Ooh No!

The third season of Nigerian Idol is about to begin and I hear one of the judges from last season, Charly Boy, might not be returning as a judge.

I have no idea what's really going on between the Area Fada and the Idol producers but I know for sure that his name has so far not been included to the judges panel for this season. But there's no final list yet so I hope they resolve their issues (probably money wahala) and bring him back for this season.

Charly Boy is one of the reasons a lot of people I know watched the show last season....with all the things he brought to the show.  Don't know what's going to happen if he leaves.
