The March 2013 issue of Y! magazine is out!
This edition is covered by artiste and new
record label owner Wizkid – in an interview
by Adedoyin Jaiyesimi and photos by Kelechi
Amadi-Obi. Wizkid is styled by Tiannah
Styling’s Toyin Lawani.
“As this magazine went to print, the
rumours were just about confirmed in
public and sources had certainly confirmed
in private,” said Chude Jideonwo, its editor-
in-chief. “The amazing talent powerhouse
called Wizkid had aggressively parted ways
with EME, the label powered by Banky W -
interesting news in light of what he told us
only weeks before.”
In the cover story titled ‘No kidding’, Wizkid
speaks frankly about his background, the
history of his music, the evolution of his
sound and the people who have made him
what he is now – including former manager
Osagie Osarenkhoe and Empire Mates
Entertainment boss Banky W.
The shoot was anchored by the iconic
Kelechi Amadi-Obi, with styling by Toyin
Lawani of Tiannah Styling.
As always, Y! magazine – reputed as “high
priest of the youth culture” – is a fine
mishmash of the trending topics for young
Nigerians; in lifestyle, pop culture, fashion
and a journey through the issues.
There are interviews with Tinsel’s Linda
Ejiofor, Moet Abebe, Seyi Shay, Uru Eke,
Ms. Jaie and others. As well as ‘Generation
to Generation’ conversation with former
ministerial nominee and executive director
of the Sahara Group, Tonye Cole.
In addition, the magazine presents its
annual ‘New Establishment’ list, profiling
the most promising young Nigerians across
the world – under the age of 35.
“Wizkid is, ultimately, just one of 50 young
people below 35 carefully selected by our
team of curators,” Jideonwo said. “As always
our New Establishment list profiles young
people who aren’t red carpet fixtures or
necessary celebrities, but who define the
spirit of the age and are set to shine in
2013.
And don’t miss Y!’s annual Sexiest list! The
2013 list features Africa’s Sexiest Man Alive
and Africa’s Sexiest Women Alive – and the
editors have a blast thinking and talking
through bodies, torsos and all that beauty!
