Famous Entertainment Lies In 2014

KCEE

In a recent article, writer Onyeka Ibeanusi reminded us of the outright lies some of our celebrities told us in 2014. With the year running to an end, TATTLES welcomes articles chronicling the events of 2014.First, though, deal with this.

“With the new trend of getting noticed at all cost, many Nigerian entertainers have stepped up their game in the show-off business. They have seized every micro and macro opportunity to flaunt their expensive, luxurious lifestyles. Instagram is now the new studio and movie location. We find more celebrity activities on Instagram than in real-life situation. Many have shown their cars, wrist watches and many other material acquisitions. Now let’s move away from the show-off to the lies we were told by entertainers this year.
KCee Featuring Nicki Minaj
In January, Limpopo master KCee announced to the world that he had sealed a deal worth about N25m to feature American star Nicki Minaj. KCee, who attended the Grammy Awards with label mate Mr Songs, sent the entertainment world into a frenzy when he made that revelation.
“We are in the USA trying to get some collaboration done. It is true [that] we are in the process of doing a song with Nicki Minaj and that news was leaked by an agent to the media. We actually wanted it to be a surprise for the fans, but since it’s out there now; we plan on taking it bigger. We want to seal another artist from YMCMB, one who is bigger than Nicki Minaj. She’s already sealed to be on the track, but now that everyone knows, we’re still going to surprise the fans by getting another person from YMCB.”
Nigerians and fans of KCee are yet to get even a snippet of that song. What a bold move.
WizKid Wrote A Song for Rihanna
Starboy CEO and one of Nigeria’s most celebrated young stars WizKid dropped the bombshell in an interview when he said he wrote a song for American singer Rihanna. WizKid who, in reality associates with top American singers like Chris Brown, has had a great career so far and even released a new album Ayo. We are waiting to hear Riri speak Yoruba and pidgin in her next song.
“Yeah, I went to the studio to write something for her. She was in the studio as well; big shout out to Rihanna, so we made something together. Hopefully, it gets picked. We’ll still do more stuff together, you know she’s a cool person. I’m going back to Los Angeles, so, definitely, I’m going to get back in the studio with her again.” WizKid said. Huge barf there. Well, maybe not.
P-Square to Release Alingo Cartoon Series
Africa’s foremost twin celebrities P-Square raised the hopes of their fans earlier in the year when Peter announced the soon-to-be-released animated series Alingos. We are yet to see the cartoons, even though they have blamed the failure of the project on their disagreement at a time. What an Alingo barf.
9ice Quits Music for Politics
Abolore Akande aka 9ice has never hidden his desire to go into politics sometime. The Gongo Aso singer who is gunning for a House of Representatives slot said he was done with music and was “taking a full plunge into politics” this year. 9ice has stepped up his campaign and awareness me but, shockingly, when his fans thought he was done, he released a new single. “I’m leaving music, I need to go into something more challenging. Music is no longer competitive for me. I’ve done all that needs to be done in music”…and the single was released.
Mr Songs Says His Parents Are Related
Five Star Music signee Mr Songs aka Harrysong drew so much attention when, during an interview, he said his parents were related. Some days later, he denied the statement, insisting somewhere along the lines that he was misquoted.
“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 realise 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 were closely related. I was born based on what our villagers regarded as an abomination and, therefore, they had to separate. 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’.”
Yes, he denied saying all these.
