I NEVER FOUGHT WITH ESSENCE, WE ARE STILL CLOSE—KENNY SAINT BEST

Kennis Music gospel artiste, Kenny Saint Best, has cleared the air about rumour earlier making the rounds that she broke up with label mate, Essence, who was once her backup singer.
She explained that she still goes to event with the sonorous singer. It was said in some sections of the media that KSB, as the gospel artiste is fondly called, stopped going to functions with Essence in order to attend events with her elder sister, Moji Dokpesi, wife of Raypower FM and AIT owner, Raymond Dokpesi.
Speaking on a radio show on Wednesday afternoon, KSB said Essence will not join her in politics because she (Essence) does not have the strength to face the rigour associated with politics.
“I and Essence never had any issue. I am heading towards a tougher side which is politics and people cannot expect to see us together. Essence just decided to calm down because she does not have the strength to pursue politics like me,” she explained.
According to her, she has been into music for the past 16 years and will continue to remain in the industry.
“Music is a stage where you have to bring new songs every time. My calling now is national building which means youth empowerment. I have been in the corridor of politics for six years now, not that I am new into it and I have been working with some politicians to empower the youths in my local government area,” she disclosed.

I LEFT EME BECAUSE BASELINE WAS WILLING TO MAKE ME BIGGER—SKALES REVEALS

Skales, a former artiste with EME Music, a label Banky W is fully involved in, has disclosed why he joined Baseline Records, where he is expecting to drop his album. The singer’s contract with EME was not renewed, which forced him out of the label.
The artiste said he still maintains a good relationship with the label because his exit was a mutual agreement.
Speaking on a radio show on Tuesday, July 29, 2014, Skales said he believes in doing things by himself. "I just believe in doing things myself, I have big dreams, and there are things I want to do, and people don't understand me, but as time goes on, they will get used to it. I am one of the few people that believe success is the best revenge, I am not ready for any beef, I think I have grown," he said.
Commenting further, he said part of the things he did not like was the working differences. "This is the way I want to go and they say this is the way they want me to go and that's not me, it can't work. That's part of the reasons though, there is always two stories to everything. I am just saying how I feel; I don't want to go deeper than this, before I offend anybody," Skales further said.
According to the artiste, his new record label, Baseline, was willing to make him bigger and had big plans for him, which made him joined the company. He said the music outfit is now giving back to his fans by giving out $10,000.
"We are giving out $10,000 to any fan who uploads a video, dancing to ‘Shake Body’ (his new single) and the fan with the highest views and like gets the money,” Skales noted, while sending “a big shout out to Baseline for making this possible."

YORUBA ACTRESS, OMOTUNDE OGUNDIMU CRITICALLY ILL, NEEDS FINANCIAL HELP

Popular Yoruba actress, Omotunde Ogundimu, who has been off the movie scene for a while now, is presently battling with fibroid. The mother of three disclosed this in an interview, stating that she noticed the ailment in 2013.
“My period comes like 10 to 15 days; then, it will stop and come again. I menstruate twice in a month. I noticed it last year before my husband passed away. Anytime we had intercourse, I would always bleed. I took it for something else, so I didn’t really pay attention to it. But when he became sick and we couldn’t have intercourse any more, it (the bleeding) stopped. Then, I didn’t have time to study it at that period too.
“But what I noticed is that my menstrual circle changed, so I would menstruate twice in a month with very heavy flow. So, at that time, I just felt it was one of the signs of menopause because I am way above 40. But last year, I had to go to the hospital to complain and the doctor said I had fibroid, even before the tests and scan were conducted. When the scan was done, it was discovered that the fibroid was fully grown in my womb,” she explained.
The actress said she needs about N500,000 (N350,000 to undergo the surgery and N150,000 for her up keeps) as she doesn’t have that kind of money because she has been single-handedly been taking care of her three children who are in school.
The actress added that her in-laws have never bothered to call her since the demise of her husband.
