Jennifer Hudson To Wed Her Longtime Love David Otunga

Jennifer Hudson has experienced some major pre-wedding jitters, but she is finally ready to say her ‘I Do’s’! Radaronline reports that: "After having doubts about marrying David Otunga and even returning her engagement ring, the Academy Award winner’s wedding to her longtime love is back on track after a nearly 4 year-long engagement".

“Jennifer started feeling like it just wasn’t right,” the source says. “So many bad things have happened since they got engaged in 2008 that have prevented them from finally getting married, and she was worried that she was just trying too hard to make something happen that wasn’t meant to be.”

Though the couple has attempted to work through all the issues, Jennifer had a breaking point around the time of William Balfour’s murder trial, where he was found guilty of murdering her mother, brother and nephew.

“Jennifer and David quietly called off the wedding a few months ago and she even returned her ring to him,” the source stated  “She was extremely stressed out and processing a lot of emotions about the murder of her family after the trial ended, and she just cracked.”

[Album Review] Empire Mates State Of Mind - E.M.E All Stars

EME ALL STAR [ BANKY W, WIZKID, SKALES,SHAYDEE, NIYIOLA]
ALBUM: EMPIRE MATES STATE OF MIND
LABEL: EMPIRE MATES ENTERTAINMENT
RELEASE DATE: 6/18/2012
TAYOTV EDITOR'S RATING: 8.5/10

1. Baddest Boy BankyW, Wizkid & Skales: 8/10

I did not like this track when I was initially leaked but when this version with Banky was released it changed my opinion about the track. The track is basic till Banky dropped his verse. This track would have been a 7 without Banky’s verse.

2. Get down tonight ft Wizkid, BankyW and Skales: 6/10

The Wizkid I fell in love with in 2011 would have murdered this beat but his delivery on this track was just blehhh. The beat is average and the lyric from all 3 is just “Aii”.

3. Sun mo mi Shaydee, Skales & BankyW: 8.5/10

Skales just keeps winning me over to his corner with his singing abilities, he seems to be a better singer than rapper so far, a lil work on his bars and it’s OVER. Shaydee and Banky on the other hand schooled the beat.. Justice!!

4. Hate ft BasketMouth – Funny Skit!!

5. Roll it ft Wizkid & Banky: 8.5/10

Weeezy on some Jamaician Ragga sh*t heavy delivery, He seem to have it together on this track, Banky coming on to add that big boy swag to the song just tips it over the edge a little bit more, and I mean that in a good way. This song will grow on you most definitely.

6.Find My Trouble ft BankyW, Skales and Shaydee: 6/10

I think this is one of the weakest tracks on this album. The beat is not all that, the lyrics is too basic.

7.Body ft Wizkid: 7.5/10

I like Wizkid beacause I know he is talented, and he has an awesome voice but him trying to sing all these reggae themed songs takes away his original style of music. Plus the lyrics are not catchy enough. The beat helped the song a bit. Don’t get me wrong brilliant music.

8. Ko Mo Le ft Skales: 8.5/10

I love this track; this track just reiterated my point that Skales is talented as all he did here is sing. If he can improve on his bars, I see him being considered one of the best “Nigeria’s Drake.”. Great Productions, better lyrics would make Ko Mo Le Jam for Life.

9. Dance BankyW ft XO Senavoe: 8.5/10

I like the way this track started off with the Techno/Soca beat feel to it. Banky sure put in work on this track. He was really creative with the lyrics, I don’t see it being a club banger but then again what do I know lol. All I can say about XO’s rap is, XOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

10. Don’t Delay me ft Niyiola: 7.5

Niyiola’s voice is AMAZING, her lyrics here just didn’t do it for me.. Beautiful voice & delivery. I’ll give it a 7.5. I know she can do waaaaay better than that.

11. London Girl ft Wizkid: 8.5/10

Iyeyeye Wizkid is definitely on that Jamacian style tip, but I see this track being played in a lot of naija clubs and I see the track doing mad numbers in London I mean Nigerian music is moving faster than the speed of light (hehehe)… I Can see a lot of London girls relating to the song.

12. Hate Part 2 ft BasketMouth – Hilarious Skit!!!

13. Dance for me Wizkid: 8/10

I’d say Lovely track if 90% of the songs Wizkid has released this year did not have this theme. I feel like he freestyled on this track. The lyrics are below par; he has been repeating some of his lines too much. But at the same time if you don’t care about lyrics… Dance for me is your jam!! I’d blast it on my way to highness.

14. Follow Go House ft Skales, BankyW and Shaydee: 8.5/10

This track has that slow feel to it and the beat took me back to the days of 112 especially with the way Shaydee delivered his verse, he reminded me of Slim from 112. Even though Skales can sing, he is not made for this kinda beat. The track would have been better if it was just Banky and Shaydee. Shaydee showed signs of great things to come with his delivery on this track. Legit track!!

15. My Baby ft Skales: 7/10

I think Skales and EME used this track to just let us know that Wizkid is not the only weapon they have because Skales delivered perfectly on this track. This is something you would think Shaydee, Niyiola or Banky would have been on but Skales held his ground. Big ups 2 him.

16. Only you ft BankyW, Shaydee and Rotimi: 9/10

This is that Washing/Setting P song on this album. I love the delivery, the lyrics, the beat, Having Rotimi, Banky and Shaydee on the same track is sure to make the ladies wet their ‘pata’. One of the best on the album if not the best. #noarguement

17. Reppin’ EMEAZZyy Banky, Skales and Wizkid: 7.5/10

I love Wizkid’s delivery on this track he came original. What happened to Niyiola & Shaydee? they should be on this track too.

18. Wetin I Want ft Niyiola & Skales: 8.5/10

Niyiola sealed her place as the 1st Lady of EME with her delivery on this track. She outshined Skales, took him to class and things… She definitely made this track an 8.5.

19. Change: 9/10

BankyW delivered on this track, a track dedicated to Nigeria and I don’t think there is any1 in the naija music industry that could deliver this track the way he did, maybe 2face. The lyrics are on point and Niyiola on the chorus was just the right move. Shaydee was on point here too.

20. See my mama Wizkid, Shaydee & BankyW: 9/10

This song reminds me of Wizkid’s “I love my baby” song, so I think that’s why I like it. Now picture putting Banky and Shaydee on that Love my baby song, that’s what u have here. This track is lovely. It’s a 9 in my books. Something that will have the clubs on fire this already hot summer. Wizkid’s delivery here was ONPOINT.

21. Hate Part 3 ft Basketball – Funny Skitt

22. Can’t Stop Us- EME ALL Star: 8/10

Skales is multi-talented as he can sing and also rap, but him rapping on this track did not do it justice, his bars are weak. This track introduced Niyiola and Shaydee perfectly. XO did his thing, he came correct. He tipped the track to be at an 8 for me.

Being the 1st All star album out of EME’s camp it’s not bad at all, some of the songs were really nice while some were just blehhhh.

Banky W: Being the Head of EME, I feel he has done a great job assembling this team, he has focused more on wizkid thus not giving the rest of the crew equal attention (my Opinion, I could be wrong). He also needs to remind his fans that he is still the Banky W they fell in love with, what I mean by this is to drop 1 or 2 new singles.

Wizkid: Weeezy needs to cut down on the Jamo/Raggae theme and go back to the old Wizkid we fell in love with. His style of late has been repetitive, he has the voice, and he just needs his lyrics to be top notch he has the best producers producing for him so please do justice to the beat.

Skales: He needs to work on his bars if he really wants to be a rapper, as per singing he has proved himself. I think he is a better singer than a rapper so far. He could be a force to reckon with once his bars are ‘tighter’.

Shaydee & Niyiola: All I can say about this two is, Sky is their limit. His voice is unique as in one track he sounded like Slim and then switched it up in other tracks. With Banky’s help he should rise to greater heights. Niyiola is no doubt the 1st lady of this camp. Most female artistes should come learn from her.

MAY D'S GIRLFRIEND TATTOO HIS NAME ON HER BODY

 May D is definitely a very fast rising artiste when it comes to producing hits, hooks and madt verses… No wonder his Girlfriend had to remind him of her dying love for him before he starts singing “Chop my money” or “sound track” to another girl.

His girlfriend, Adebola recently covered herself in ink (tattoo) with May D on her arm, shoulder blade and waist line… (Nice!)

This is a very big step… We hope to see a ring on that finger soon Mister MayD.

10 mins for that huge amount.

After the ordeal the alhaji went to

Usain Bolt Shows off his nack for women and DJingBolt

Bolt with pretty girls

HE’S famous for finishing well in races, but it seems Usain Bolt also knows how to start a night in style too.

The world’s fastest man arrived at Oslo’s plush Bar Tjuvholmen in a SPEEDBOAT with a beauty on each arm.

And the record-breaking sprinter was a runaway success when he took to the stage as well.

He took the opportunity to show off his less famous talents, having a go at drumming and DJing at the Norwegian nightspot.

It was a chance for the 25-year-old world champ to let his hair down, as he takes a break from the local Bislett Games and his preparations for the London Olympics.

And he would be glad of the female company following his split with gorgeous fashion designer girlfriend Lubica Slovak last month.

Usain called time on the romance to concentrate on his training.

TIMAYA: I WAS A SEX SLAVE AT 14

Timaya was born Enetimi Odom in 1977 In Bayelsa state. Then it was still part of Rivers state. He was born into a family of 17 children. His mother had three girls and four boys for his father, while his father had eight other children from another wife. Amongst all of them, the little statured Timaya was the last of them all.

Though his father worked in a bank and his mother was a trader, there was little to go round the family. Tough the parents tried their best, it was not an easy task raising all the children. Timaya being the last knew even as a little child that if he had to succeed, he would have to break off on his own.

Music notwithstanding, Timaya had been a rebel since his youth. He attended Assemblies of God Nursery and Primary School in Portharcourt. Though he was a quiet child, he could not be bullied. In fact he was feared. As a child, all he had in his head was how to make it in life.

“Many of those who write about me do not know who I really am. They only listen to my music, they don’t know the real me. Yet when they write, they portray me in a bad way and that is not who I am. Now some people see me and think I am the kind of person that carries a gun.”

He left home as early as 14 years old. Without any Kobo to his name, he decided to put his own destiny into his own hands.

“When I had nowhere to stay, I had to go and live with a woman friend who turned me into a prisoner. I had to live by her rules. I could not go anywhere until she allows me to. I could never stay out until 7pm, or else I am in trouble. She was older than me by four years and I did not have a choice.

Anytime I complain, she threatened to throw me out of her house. If I failed to make love to her, she would accuse me of sleeping with other ladies, and she will again threaten to throw my things out. That was when I was in Porthacourt. It was not easy for me then, but what could I do? It was when I was able to save some money to get another place that I was able to escape.”

That experience was the beginning of a new life for Timaya. He moved to Lagos to finish his secondary schooling. He attended Ikeja Grammar School where he finally obtained a Secondary School Certificate.

After secondary school, he got admission into University of Portharcourt, tyring to follow his father’s footsteps as a banker. But like he said in one of his songs “book no enter my head”. So he dropped out. He decided to face his passion for music squarely. His first major break was when he got into the Eedris Abdul Kareem band. He worked his way up the ladder to be his number one back-up singer.

“Eedris was a good person. One thing I like about him is that he is fearless, and believes in himself so much. He knows how to perform on stage. He knows how to carry the crowd, and that is one thing I have learnt from him. He could carry the street along, he could relate to the people, I learnt all that from him. What I did not like about him is the fact that he only tolerated his boys. Till date he never paid me a dime.

The only money he gave to me was one thousand Naira after a show we did at Kuramo beach. That I did not copy from him. I treat my boys fine. I don’t owe them. They all have cars. I know that they all have their own family and their own dream, so I don’t mess with that. Eedris had time only for himself,” Timaya said.

After the Eedris experience, Timaya decided to make it all by himself. He got into a talent hunt. This was were everyone notice his talents. He was rooted to win the challenge, but on the day of the finals, he lost his voice and ended up losing the competition. But there were scouts at the show, and he was already noticed.

Basorge Tariah junior who was one of the judges at the hunt took special interest in Timaya. He took him to Daniel Wilson’s studio. It was at Daniel Wilson’s studios that Timaya met the man that produced his first hit song that brought him to limelight, K-Solo. K-Solo was at the studio to record a song for Felix Duke. The chance meeting ended up in Timaya’s first hit, which was self-titled.

Prior to this, his benefactor Basorge told him he was handling some projects at the moment and Timaya should wait a bit. But Timaya had been holding on too long. He decided to look for money on his own to record his songs.

“I had to go back to Portharcort to gather money from friends. When I got back to Lagos, I went straight to K-Solo and we started off recording. Then some people came in from Russia, and tried to sign me. They wanted to sign me for five years and two albums. I was to get N650,000. For me it was a big thing. But their own lawyer called me aside and advised me not to sign the contract.

I almost swore for him. I thought he was against my progress. I did not know, he was saving me from enslaving myself. The lawyer delayed me from signing till the label got frustrated. I am thankful for that lawyer till today. So all the while they were paying my studio bills.

“I printed 5,000 copies of my demo cd, and took them to Port harcourt. Before you know it, the song was doing well in the east and in Porthacourt. After a while, I found out that the songs were doing well in the east but I could not get acceptance in Lagos. I went to all the popular marketers in Alaba, but none of them wanted to market my song. One even offered me N50,000 for the whole cd.

As I was going home that same day, one road side cd seller from Port harcourt called me that his brother wants to buy my work. That was how I met the CEO of Danko Music, who bought it for N500,000.

“I used part of the money for promotion of the songs. I rented a one room apartment and I started surviving with what is left. My music was so popular yet I was so broke. I lived in a compound where there is a mango tree. Anytime there are heavy winds, I and my landlord will bring bucket out to pick mangos. He would start abusing me that what kind of a musician am I? I have two popular songs yet I am broke.”

Not long after, Timaya started getting shows. His first major show was a university gig. He was paid just N120,000. The money was not much but that money he said, marked the end of poverty for him. He started getting shows from all over the country.

“later that year, that marketer that bought my song called me up and bought me a car. You will hardly see a marketer do that. He was not obliged to do that. He sold so much of my work the he was just grateful”

The relationship between Timaya and K-Solo used to be very strong. They were always acting like brothers. Timaya was always found in his studio. But all of a sudden Timaya’s albums started having less and less of K-Solo. What really broke up their brotherhood?

“The issue of K-Solo is a non-issue. It’s not like K-Solo did anything big for me. I paid him for all the jobs he did for me. What I noticed was that, all the slangs I put in my songs, K-Solo started putting them in songs of all the people he was producing. I called him and told him that what he is sharing freely to other artistes were my own style and identity. I told him to stop because it will start looking as if he was the one who owns those slogans.

He said aha, shebi we are together. I told him no. Another reason I did not work much with him is that his style was getting to sound the same. In fact you could voice any of my songs easily on any of his beats. I really wanted something fresh. That was why I started working with J-sleek and Spankie and other producers.

As a Bayelsan, Timaya had a different view about the removal of fuel subsidy by President Jonathan. “In everything let us pray we are above any situation. Even before all these subsidy wahala, I did not know how much a liter of fuel cost. That is because I can afford it. Let’s pray that God will bless us in a way that we will not know the price of things, we just buy.” But I must say, it’s not time for subsidy now. Boko Haram is still an issue, we should focus on that now

When asked why he did not campaign for Jonathan during election time. Timaya was not really forthcoming. “Alamieyeseigha is still the best governor Bayelsa ever had. There are a lot of inside politics going on in Bayelsa, as an insider myself, I can’t start revealing all that. But I wish the president well.”
