Entertainment Industry Becomes Gold Mine For Artists …As Davido Wins African Artiste Of The Year
Nigeria’s entertain
ment industry is no doubt booming with artistes smiling to the bank on daily basis. Unlike before, when artistes complained of cash not flowing in the industry, but now with just one hit single, you can make millions of naira from both individual and corporate brands who intend to keep their customers by luring some of the artistes to become their brand ambassadors.
Every one now measures his/her wealth with luxuries, lately some artistes are investing heavily on automobiles while some are buying mansions in strategic areas within and outside the country. The new act on the block is Kcee and Davido. The Limpopo Crooner Kcee, who celebrated his birthday recently, got a surprise birthday gift from his brother, the CEO of Five star Music, Emeka Okonkwo, aka E-Money. He presented Kcee with a brand new luxury red 2013 G63G Wagon as birthday present. As if that was not enough, O.B. O Crooner, Davido also showed why he should be rated as one of the artistes who are making waves by posting his newly acquired car on the internet, a G 55 AMG.
The Mercedes G wagon joins Davido’s fleet which already include a Raage Rover Sport, Audi Q7, Chevrolet Camaro and Hyndai Sonata. Peter Okoye of the sensational music duo, P-Square, took to his instagram to show his fans his newly acquired automobile which costs an estimated N30 million.
This came days after he and his brothers got reunited due to their brawl. He even said his wife, Lola Okoye, will be so jealous of his new wife, Beafley.
Meanwhile, the Omobaba Olowo Music Crooner, Davido, has emerged winner in the just concluded Ghana Music Award 2014. At the all glitz and glamour 15th edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, which took place on the 3rd of May 2014 at Accra International Conference Centre (AICC), Davido beat top contenders like Mafikizolo, Wizkid, Flavour and P-Square to win the award for African artist of the Year.

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.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Yul hints that certain things happened while he and May were still married and suggests 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.

The Tide Entertainment had reported that Yul Edochie had continued to speak about his ex-wife as he appeared on the Honest Bunch Podcast.
He shared part of what happened between them and all the things he wished for her while speaking about his new wife.
The actor noted that he and his ex-wife know what happened that led to the dissolution of their union.
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.
