The title of Asa’s hit track, Fire on The Mountain aptly captures it!(no be me talk this one o!, na hear i heam am ooo!) According to reports, Hypertek Nigga, 2face Idibia, has lost a whopping N40million. No thanks to incompetent hands at Hypertek, his label. Insiders say the African King Crooner from Otukpo is so peeved that he had to terminate the services of those he employed to run Hypertek and shut down the label, at least, for now. This development has been attributed to the lack luster performance of Unstoppable, an album which has great tracks but which critics say has not been well promoted. According to insiders, his propaganda machinery failed woefully to promote Unstoppable like Kennis Music did to his two previous albums. The first signs of trouble popped up last year when Da Natives, the only act on Hypertek broke up. However, his spin doctors had gone to town, stating that Da Natives (Hycenth Idibia and John Agon) would release separate albums under the label. However, it finally emerged that all was not well when 2face returned to Now Muzik recently for a management deal. Insiders say the move is not unconnected with his desire to put his career back on track. Meanwhile, there are strong indications that the star could be on his way back to Kennis Music.

Nigeria’s boobs queen, Cossy Orjiakor, was recently splashed, across two pages of BBC Magazine’s Focus on Africa, as Nollywood’s sex symbol. But in Nigeria, she had her photograph published in one of the local soft sells depicting a bad act with a dog recently. With unusual alacrity, speculation and insinuation pouring in torrents, Cossy’s hard earned name is again on trial. While the act has generated a lot of heat across board, various effort to contact the actress was not afterall in vain. ‘It was all blackmail, bad belle of some sort by people who are bent on dragging my name to the mud.” she replied when finally got her on phone. She said, the purported ‘doggy’ act was a mere shoot for a movie she did around 2002. According to her, in 2002, she acted in a film titled Itohan directed by Chico Ejiro where she posed with a dog in a make believe scene. She mentioned Shan George as one of the actresses in the film, stressing that her role was moreorless like a waka pass in the movie. +++hmnnn....this one e truly pass my mouth o!
