Majek Fashek Now Born Again!
One time toast
of Nigerian Music clan, Majek Fashek of the “Send Down The Rain” fame who has been battling alchohol and drug addiction for many years now has finally giving his life to Christ and is now a born again Christian.
The Tide Entertainment gathered that the musician who has fallen on hard times and hardly able to fend for himself, publicly embraced Christ some few weeks back at the Christ Miracle Mission in Lagos under the watchful eyes of the General Overseer of the Church, Prophet Peter Abiola Adebisi.
The story has it that the Edo State born musician attended the Church for the first time and got converted. He was later given the microphone and he rendered one of his ever green songs “Holy Spirit” and every one became enraptured with tears streaming down the eyes of the worshippers.
It would be recalled that the rain maker once equated himself with Jesus Christ. “Me and Jesus Christ are one, Me I no day follow Jesus Christ like Christians o, I am following Jesus Christ in a different way and in different form”, he stated.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
