It's confirmed. Skales (pictured beside Banky W) has parted ways with Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) after over 3 years with the label. There was no fight, disagreement or any drama like that, the label just didn't renew his contract after the one they had with him expired in January 2014.

Skales has removed EME from all his social media accounts and is planning to manage his music career himself with the help of management company, M.et.al Management, going forward.

Kim Kardashian Finally Put to Rest Controversy on Butt Transplant

Kim K. is beginning to spit fire upon pundits who keeps making fun about her getting a butt transplant.
According to her post, she explained that pregnancy took a toll on her body including her butt which made her bigger than when she hadn't had a baby.

She expressed how disappointed she is at how people make fun of her weight as she knows she still has a lot of weight to lose after she had her baby. She then said she'd not conform to anybody's skinny standard which gives young girls a lot of complex.
"I'm seeing all these nonsense tabloids claiming I have butt implants-injections. Get a life! Using pics of me 151lbs skinnier(before I had my baby) comparing to me now. I still have weight to lose. Anyone who has had a baby knows how hard it is to lose weight(especially the last of it) & your body totally changes. Making fun of me pregnant and me trying to lose weight now, shame on you. I'm not perfect but I will never conform to your skinny standard sorry. No not me. And BTW, I've lost a lot so far and I'm proud of it! Don't give young girls a complex. "

Top Ten Artiste for 2014

The year 2014 is here! Nigerian entertainment industry, the music sector in particular, is gearing up for a busy year. Several artistes failed to release their much-anticipated albums in the year 2013.

Therefore, loads of albums are expected in 2014.

Have a look at the list singers whose albums will most probably be released this year (by Premium Times).

1. WizKid

Star Boy and EME artiste, Ayo ‘Wizkid’ Balogun, whose second studio album was postponed thrice in 2013, is expected to release the anticipated musical work this year. Expected to be loaded with international and local collaborations, and top notch productions from top producers, Wizkid’s yet-to-be titled second album might go the way of the first album; an all hit musical work.\

2. Davido

Davido, who provided us with the controversial Skelewu dance in the year 2013, is expected to ride on the buzz his last two singles gave him and release his second album. Davido’s second album, which might not be released until the last quarter of the year, is as anticipated as those that will be released before his.

3. Tuface

Regarded as the king of African pop, TuFace Idibia, who was in the news all through 2013 despite not releasing a single, will hopefully give his fans something to listen to this year having last released his fourth album in 2011.

4. P-Square

Twin sensational pop singers, P-Square, who had a busy 2013 as they toured America, Canada, Africa and engaged their long time partners, are expected to hit their fans with their fifth studio album. With their impressive 2013 single, ‘Personally’, the dancing duo should present their fans with a new album in 2014.

5. Wande Coal

Remember he trended worldwide on social network, Twitter, when he released three singles back in 2011. Wande who ended the year 2013 with a Glo endorsement deal after a split with his former label boss, Don Jazzy, is expected to release his second long awaited album under his Black Diamond imprint.

6. D’Banj

Popular singer D’banj is not expected to disappoint his fans. After an average outing with his label compilation album, DKM, we hope his 4th long awaited album will take him back to the top.

7. M.I.

The vice president at Chocolate City released a mix tape, Illegal Music 2, in 201. His third studio album, which was expected last year, should be released this year. M.I is also expected to push His imprint, Luppy Records, further and might release a label compilation album as well.

8. Sean Tizzle

After winning Headies ‘Next Rated’ awards, the Difference Entertainment artiste who broke into the mainstream music industry in 2013 with his hit single, Sho Le, and subsequent singles Mama e and Komole, will seek to test his feet more in the music waters with a full studio album which is expected to be backed with production from D’tunes.

9. Praiz

X3M music alternate artiste and MTN ambassador, Praiz, who had a decent 2013 with his multiple awards winning ‘Rich and Famous’ single is expected to release his debut album this year if tweets by his label boss, Steve Babaeko is any to go by.

10. Phyno

‘No album but am getting millie…’ That’s a line from Phyno’s ‘man of the year’ song, and 2013 was his year as he rightly said. With chart topping and award winning singles, Phyno’s debut album remains one of 2014′s most anticipated albums. And before you forget, he narrowly missed out of Headies ‘Next Rated’ award category.
