I met 2face during last year's BET 2011 award at Beverly center, I tried talking to him, he lied to me he was coming back to talk to me. But he left. He just came out Louis Vuitton store. I met Anichebe, Melchiot, Larry King, Chris Brown, Suntana, Nelly, Will.i.am, busta rhyme but he ignored me, don't listen to his song any longer, Akon, Magic Johnson, Drake, Venus Williams, De Game, all real madrid players at ucla last year when they were in LA, Andy Murray, Micah Richards. My brother they plenty. If u live in LA, go to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, you will see any of them that comes around. U know when paparazzi full everywhere. Also Bramble in LA. If 2face is reading this, I know he will remember.

afam4eva:
Everyone that has met 2face have all said the same thing. It's his humility and friendliness that makes him one of the most respected celebrities in Nigeria. Almost every you ask will always name 2face as a role model. That's why i laugh when i see people like Muna disrespecting Mode 9. Only humble people go places and are respected.

I agree I have not met him, but two of my friends have, and they said exactly same thing. The guy is too humble. I think he is the the most loved musician in Nigeria.

Re: Have You Met A Celebrity? by ypzilanti: 11:57am On Jul 10, 2012
I am very good friends with one very famous person. But don't want to mention the name. Only when we go out and fans beckon do I remember the person's fame. In fact it seems hilarious sometimes, but I get where the fans are coming from. It's a reminder that famous people are humans like us too...you just happen to see them on TV, but some people see them everyday doing everyday things. Not that this diminishes their value, but it makes them normal and ordinary to the people who know them well.

I have met the usual Nollywood and Naija music fare casually at parties and concerts, but would like to share the most striking memories, cause no matter how objective you are, you can be star stuck too.


Once saw Olikoye Ransome Kuti when I was younger, he looked familiar but I could not remember where I had seen him. By the time I realized, I blurted 'good morning, Sir' he just smiled and waved, then got into one horrible looking beat down car and drove off. Im sure he was used to that type of reaction.

I was leaving a bar once and ran into JJ Okocha walking in as I was walking out. I was star struck and shocked...I said 'whats up JJ?' he replied 'I dey jare...how you dey my guy?'. It was more like, I never expected to see him there. If I had seen him at a party, I may not have been that shaken. I am a huge fan.


Segun Arinze struck up a conversation with me at a fast food restaurant, one day. Just chit chat about bad service...I'm not a fan, but I was distracted by the fact that he was same guy I watched on TV as a kid. I remember feeling sorry for him somehow cause this was supposed to be a normal conversation and all that was going on in my mind was an assessment of him...not in a bad way...just very curious.

I guess the money compensates for people who prejudge you before they even know you.

Re: Have You Met A Celebrity? by Nobody: 12:25pm On Jul 10, 2012
Some two years back, a company organised an event/award night for RMD. I was hired to find out everything about him(the research was too much), I mean his biography, autobiography and every other thing about him, I then compiled everything and put designed a powerpoint presentation slide show. At the event I saw, Denrele,Nnkem owoh,Alex osifo,Pete edochie, alariwo of africa and so so so many of them etc etc. Alariwo was the MC, when it came my turn to do the presentation, to my surprise Alariwo called a young lady (Ronke Ashiru who is kinda popular now with her show on TVC) to read it, I was like OMG, I was purposed to read that, but the girl couldn't read well so I took over, staired at my finely designed slides and read it to everyone. RMD said, who wrote all these, how did the person get this things about me, then Alariwo pointed to me. I had some argument with Alariwo and he really pissed me off, I almost gave him zidane's kind of headbutt.

Denrele is too too lousy, playing with girls after the event, dishing out his mobile number anyhow, saying bla bla bla, jumping around and wanting everyone to notice him. I got some "well done young man" from few of the famous celebrities.

30 minutes after the event, I took my laptop, projector and myself out of the place with my balance of 50k.

Re: Have You Met A Celebrity? by missojugo(f): 3:39pm On Jul 10, 2012
aktunde: People I have met
1. Clarus and giringory (of new masquerade)
2. Natty (Also in the New Masquerade)
3. Baba suwe
4. Baba latin
5. Luku-luku
6. Dejo
7. Tunfulu
8. Ibu (john Okafor)
9. Opebe
10. Voltron
11. Super-Ted
12. Spider Man
13. Danger mouse
14. Sani Abacha (he still spoke with me last night)

Abi all these people no be celerity?

My observations about them

number 1 - 9 on the list is that these people are too handsome. They are ladys' men. Look at the way babes are struggling just to get autographs. While dinning with Voltron (10 on the list), I asked if he could help us tackle boko haram problem. He said unfortunately no, because he is no more the defender of the universe, and that is why I do not see him on TV again. Matter of fact, he said he had been looking for one of the five lions who came to Nigeria and was kidnapped by my guys in ND. In a night club where I met super Ted (11 on the list) he expressed his dissatisfaction over how he came to Unilag and he saw ladies close to 30 years old having several teddy bears on their bed. He said those teddy bears are so big that he (super Ted) felt intimidated. Bad enough, those ladies did not even recognize him. I felt sorry for him super Ted. Spider man (12 on the list) snobbed me all through. I don't know why. As for danger mouse, we met at DC. He is now broke, but very friendly. He told me he got bankrupt because of speeding tickets because according to him, he has paid close to 10 million dollars in speeding ticket from the early 1980s till date. Abacha (14 on the list). He appears very gentle now. While talking over the phone, he said he know he would be going to hell fire, and he know there is no food there. So, he told me he still found his way of stealing some yams into hell. He was asking if I could get someone to help him bring palm oyel which he can use to eat the yams he roasted with the heat in hell fire, and some fura denunu to step it down. I think his credit finished along the line as I got disconnected all of a sudden.

Those are the great celebrities I have met. I am looking forward to seeing more thou



LMAO..

Dec. 2010 - I met Pastor Kumuyi in Air France plane; Paris-Lagos. I still beat myself till date why I did not take a pic with him. He is an epitome of humility and carries that aura of peace around him. He bent forward a little as he replied to my greeting with 'How are you? God bless you'.

Met Donald Duke and Jerry Gana in domestic flights.
