DBanj Slams Naysayers, Thanks Fan Who Lists His 2014 Achievements

Posted in: , ,

Dbanj, once touted as one of Nigeria's afri-hiphop pioneers, semingly had his profile plummet this year after he split with former partner and hitmaker, Don Jazzy. The music producer went on to form his own label with Tiwa Savage, D'Prince, Dr. Sid and others. Dbanj continued solo for a while and then also formed his label, Lee Records.

However, many commentators insist that he is not doing as well as Don Jazzy and that the only way Dbanj can climb back into the consciousness of Nigerian music afficionados is to get back with the producer. Dbanj's fans went on the same train of thought today after he shared the picture below.

K. Michelle Accused of Stealing Model’s Nude Poses For Album Artwork [Photos]

Posted in: , , ,

K. Michelle’s new album, Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart? has been out just a few days but it's making headlines already, if not in a very good way. The album reportedly comes with a booklet which features a controversial photoshoot with K. Michelle as the star.

The singer is photographed in various poses, completely nude, but not because of the nudity. In some poses like the one above, she has some flowers to add a pop of color to the black and white palette of the photos, and to protect her modesty, of course. Very artistic but maybe not so original. In fact, the singer may be facing copyright infringement if proved.
