What you HAVEN'T SEEN from JAY Z and Beyoncé's concert ‪#‎OnTheRun‬

Image
Over the weekend, our lives changed forever when we finally feasted our eyes on  Beyoncé and Jay Z's  On The Run  tour . Pror to the show, we were nervous that it had been hyped too much, but as soon as the Carters hit the stage we remembered that it's impossible to overestimate the fierce twosome. The two hour, 44-track set was as much a trip down memory lane — with early 00's hits like "Crazy in Love," "Naughty Girl," and "Public Service Announcement"  — as it was a medley of the pair's latest slew of hits from Beyoncé's self-titled album and Jay Z's  Magna Carter Holy Grail . Whether performing solo or together, each oozed guesto and sex appeal. As for those  pesky cheating rumors , the concert put all of our worries to rest. This, despite Bey showing off her vengeful side with ballads like "Ring the Alarm" and "Resentment." They certainly like to keep us guessing. Naturally, we've been going through

Davido Dismisses Claims He Collected His BET Award Backstage.

Image
Nigerian singer, Davido won the BET Awardfor  Best African Act 2014,  and while lots of his excited fans congratulated him, some others felt it was wrong for him to have been given the award backstage by the BET organizers and not on stage with other award winners. In an interview with Channels TV, Davido cleared the misconception, saying: There are about 15 categories that arenot mentionedin the show.When I won my award,because they do the pre-show just like MTV MAMAS i instagramed it immediately before the show started so people were speculating that I got my award backstage.No.but after I collected my award, I took the picturebackstage with my phone .But if you watch theBET Awardthey show here, you would see I collected my award on stage.

Barca outcast Afellay too expensive for Feyenoord

Image
Feyenoord coach Fred Rutten has made it clear that his club is unlikely to sign Barcelona midfielder Ibrahim Afellay as they don’t have the financial resources to lure the Netherlands international away from Spain.Afellay has been linked with a move away from Barcelona ahead of the 2014-15 season and a number of recent reports claimed that Feyenoord are interested in bringing the 28-year-old back to the Eredivisie.Nevertheless, Rutten has stressed that a move to Feyenoord is highly unlikely at this stage.”Ibrahim is welcome but I cannot imagine that we can afford players of his calibre,” the 51-year-old coach told RTV Rijnmond.”Of course, I would like to sign him, but I would also like to sign [Lionel] Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Thiago Silva. You have to stay realistic, though. We are working within a certain budget.”Afellay has only managed 21 appearances in La Liga since joining Barcelona for €3 million in January 2011, due to a string of injuries.The versatile midfielder spe

Drake Gets Help From Blake Griffin, Chris Brown and Skylar Diggins During The 2014 ESPYs

The feud between  Drake  and  Chris Brown  has officially ended , and to make good on their truce, the two teamed up for a skit during the 2014 ESPY awards.

The self-proclaimed "America's sweetheart"  Chris Brown makes a surprise appearance and brings the  Drake  and  Chris Brown  bromance full circle.

The social media sparks became real life ones on stage at the awards as Drake  recited a poem titled "Can I Dig In" for her as she snuck up on him. As for the what happens next? Let's just say this raises more questions than answers:

The World Cup winner,  who starred for  his country  during their triumph in Brazil, has agreed a six-year deal with  the European champions. The 24-year-old, who has won the Bundesliga in each of the last two seasons, had been one of Manchester United's principal transfer targets this summer. However,  United  were unable to agree terms with both the player and Bayern over a deal. And that allowed Los Blancos to swoop for the midfielder, who had just one year left on his contract at  the Allianz Arena,  and who will be presented as a Real Madrid player later today at the Santiago Bernabeu. "We thank Toni Kroos for his time in Munich," said Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Bayern's chief executiv

“Kennis Music does not use artistes,that’s beer palour talk”- Kenny Ogungbe

Image
Kennis Music was and probably still is the dream label of every artiste who wants to be catapulted to super stardom. They boast of a string of successful stars like 2face,Eedris Abdulkareem and many more. Reacting to reports the label uses and dumps artists,the CEO Kenny Ogunbe told NigerianFilms The story that artistes on Kennis Music are just being used is not true. I see it as a beer parlour talk. There is no artiste that will allow someone use him and still remain with that person.Remember that someone spent money on an artiste when he was nobody. And so, the person that has spent his hard earned money on the artist will like to get it back later. … But the unfortunate thing is that a lot of fraudsters and unscrupulous people are coming into it. They will tell you that they want to take an artiste to the next level. They end up buying him a flashy car, like a jeep, not minding the fact that he is not talented. But within two years, you find out that both of them are nowhere
