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.

Critics claimed that her body makeover was one of the reasons she allegedly left the marriage and noted that she was still out in public with the video of her club outing.
Reacting to the allegations, Ogbodo came to Bambam’s defence. She stated that no woman would leave her marriage simply because she went under the knife. According to her, it is the man who drives a woman to leave.
The mother of three further explained that no woman willingly leaves a marriage she has invested in over many years. If a woman does leave, it is the man’s fault, possibly due to abuse that she chooses not to disclose publicly.
She added that a man must have shown the woman disrespect or failed to nurture the marriage.
Ogbodo emphasised that if a man refuses to love, protect, and give peace to his wife, the responsibility for the breakdown rests entirely with him.
It would be recalled that Uche Ogbodo also recently underwent cosmetic surgery and shared videos with her fans online,
The actress had remained on the lips of many Nigerians following her role in the trending movie Love in Every Word.

”I want to talk about something rampant, has been rampant, and is still rampant. I just want to ask those of you who show up uninvited at events and parties, what’s your purpose? What do you aim to achieve? Then, those of you who receive a card that admits only one person and invite all your village people, don’t check with the host; you pack your people and come. What are you doing there? Why don’t you respect yourself and stay away? It’s rude, you’re a gate crasher. Respect yourself enough to stay away from places you aren’t invited to,” she said.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has unveiled dates for both the 99th Academy Awards and its landmark 100th ceremony. The back-to-back events, set for 2027 and 2028, will mark the final years of the Oscars airing on longtime broadcast partner ABC before a major shift to YouTube.
The 99th Oscars will take place on Sunday, March 14, 2027, followed by the historic 100th edition on Sunday, March 5, 2028. Both ceremonies will broadcast live at 7 p.m. ET from the iconic Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and reach audiences in over 200 territories worldwide. Looking ahead, the Academy has also confirmed a venue change, with the ceremony set to move to the Peacock Theater beginning in 2029, where it will remain through 2039.
The Tide Entertainment reports that the announcement comes amid a shifting broadcast landscape. ABC is gearing up for a packed 2027 schedule, including its debut as the home of the Grammy Awards and its first Super Bowl broadcast in over two decades. Meanwhile, this year’s Oscars telecast saw a dip in viewership, drawing 17.86 million viewers across ABC and Hulu, a 9% decline from the previous year’s five-year high.
Still, excitement around the awards remains strong. The most recent ceremony crowned Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” as Best Picture, while early buzz for the upcoming season is already building. Anticipated contenders include the Ryan Gosling-led “Project Hail Mary,” Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Three” starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, and Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s “Digger” featuring Tom Cruise.
No hosts have been announced yet for either ceremony, adding another layer of anticipation to the milestone events.
In addition to confirming the ceremony dates, the Academy also released its full calendar for the 2026–2027 awards season, outlining key milestones from the eligibility period beginning January 1, 2026, to nominations voting in January 2027, and final voting in early March.
