There is no doubt that the Nigerian music industry has witnessed various exploits and laudable achievements, but a new wind of musical adventure is about to blow across the industry with the newest entrant into the scene, Miss Tamarabrakemi Eteimo, AKA Tamara Jones. Her debut album which is basically about Love has some hit tracks namely, ‘Vibrate’ and “Na Only you’ among others. Recorded at Big Lou music studio, Port Harcourt, the album promises to hit the market with a bang.
Speaking on her exploits in the entertainment clan in an interview with The Tide Entertainment desk on Wednesday, the Bayelsa State born, Port Harcourt- based actress and wave making R’n’B sensation said she was born an entertainer and she started singing and acting at a tender age. According to her, she has featured in many soap operas namely: Twist of Faith, House of Abraham, Adams Family, Still Born and a movie titled a “Night at Novotel” produced by Adonai, who also produced ‘Nnenda’ which featured Stephanie Okereke.
The 25 year old entertainer and the fourth, out of six children who hails from Bulu-Angiama, Bayelsa State, disclosed that the movie will soon hit the market.
According to her, she decided to release her debut album as a way of contributing her quota to the growth of the music industry in Nigeria as she is also doing in the movie sector, stressing that acting and singing are interrelated.
The beautiful actress said apart from singing and acting, she is also a good hair dresser and dancer which is why she intends to open a good hair dressing salon and a dance school to enable people benefit from her God given talents.
She said though she has no role model in Rivers or Bayelsa State, she admires top stars such as Genevieve Nnaji, Tamala Jones and Beyonce as her role models while her family and God Almighty remain her inspirators.
She promises to use what ever money she realizes from her career for the well being of the less privileged as a way of giving back to society and called on other artistes to help the needy.
The Theatre Arts graduate of University of Port Harcourt, noted that the entertainment industry in Rivers State is vibrant with enabling environment which is why the industry has produced quality artistes with rare talents who are capable of competing with their counterparts from other parts of the country and beyond. She applauded the state government’s support for the industry which she said is a source of encouragement to the practitioners.
The Ex-student of Bereton Secondary School, Port Harcourt, stressed that RIVIFEST and CARNIRIV, held by the state government annually has not only helped to showcase the abundant cultural heritiage and hospitality of the Rivers people to the outside world, but has contributed in exposing the hidden talents of upcoming artistes in the state by engaging them in such events. She also noted that the ION International Film Festival and the Miss ECOWAS beauty pageant sponsored by the state government last year have brought positive changes and a boost to the entertainment industry in the state.
Miss Tamara Jones said, “the state government has done enough to encourage artistes in the state, on our own part, we have to push forward to make ourselves relevant instead of seating idle and expect others to promote our works for us, I believe that with determination and hard work, the sky will be our limit.”

During the interview, Yul hinted that certain things happened while he and May were still married and suggested those moments contributed to the decisions he later made.

But while saying that, Yul also hinted that there were incidents in their marriage he had chosen not to discuss publicly.
According to him, he was “too much of a man” to come online and break down over personal matters.
Reacting to the interview, Sarah, in a post on her Instagram story, pointed out what she described as irony in Yul’s words—saying he wished May well while also making statements that could create doubt in people’s minds.
According to her, if he truly meant well for his former wife, there was no reason to hint at hidden issues and leave people guessing.
“You wish her well, but you granted Podcast the power to sow doubt in people’s minds by saying she did something that led you to do what you did, but you won’t say it,” she said.
“Oga, you’re just pained that she’s doing well!”
Sarah also questioned the purpose of the interview, asking if jealousy may have played a role.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.
Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.
“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.
“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.
“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.
He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.
“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.
“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
