Celebrities / ‘I Sold Furniture In Allen Market After I Lost Hope In Music’ – Kcee by horizonhotspot(m): 3:21pm On May 11, 2016
Nigerian singer, born Kingsley Chinweike Okonkwo, populary known by his stage name Kcee has recounted his journey to success and how he sold furniture when he lost hope in his music career.
In a chat with HipTv recently,he said he believed in himself and so much in God. He added that his brother was the only one who stood by him when he lost hope.

He said, “If there is one thing I know, I believe in myself and I believe in God. I remember when I was in Ajegunle, if anyone had told me I would have gone places, I would not have believed.

“When I broke up with my partner Presh, I lost all hope. I had nothing but I had only one person, E-money, my blood brother.
“He called me and said since I had no hope in the music industry, I should start selling furniture. So I started furniture business. On a serious note, I went to Dubai, I brought two containers with the money my brother gave me.

“I got back, acquired a shop in Allen Market and the story changed.

“People will come to your shop as though to patronize you but they will only just come and look and not buy.

“Out of frustration, I called my brother one day and told him I wanted to go back to my first love, my music; that if I try again and don’t make it therein, I would know God is not on my side,” the ‘Limpopo’ songster added.

Celebrities / REVEALED: Meet The Young Naija Gangster Who Kidnapped Senator Iyabo Anisulowo by horizonhotspot(m): 1:17pm On May 09, 2016
Can you imagine This is what kidnappers look like these days. They look like normal folks walking the streets - like you and I.

Fresh facts emerged yesterday on how the suspected abductors of the former Minister of State for Education, Senator Iyabo Anisulowo, were arrested by the police.

The kingpin of the kidnapping syndicate was actually nabbed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, in an attempt to flee to Dubai in the United Arab Emirate (UAE).

Apart from the kingpin, whose identity was not made public, another suspect was also arrested in connection with the crime. Police detectives, acting on tip-off and intelligence, monitored the movement of the syndicate’s ringleader.

This made the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali, to inform his Lagos counterpart, Fatai Owoseni, who immediately swung into action, leading to the arrest of the suspect.

A top security source, who was involved in the rescue operation, disclosed that the kingpin was picked up on Tuesday.

He said: “We just monitored his movement as the ringleader of the syndicate and we got intelligence about his movement and that’s how we were able to pick him. When we got the information, the CP Ogun informed CP Lagos and the CP Lagos swung into action immediately and the kingpin was arrested.”

The state police commissioner confirmed the arrest of the suspects when he conveyed Anisulowo to the Government House, Abeokuta, to meet with Governor Ibikunle Amosun on Tuesday night.

Ali said that the synergy that existed among security agencies resulted in the breakthrough. The police boss, who stated that investigation was ongoing, added that the suspected kidnappers would be charged to court on completion of investigation.


Meanwhile, Anisulowo has recounted her ordeal in the hands of her kidnappers, saying that she did not eat during her captivity that lasted seven days. Speaking moments after her rescue, she said she took to fasting and fervent prayer to survive in the kidnappers den.

She said this just as Amosun disclosed that the kidnappers raised the ransom for the ex-minister from N100 million to N200 million because of his involvement in the search.

The 65-year-old former minister was kidnapped on Wednesday, last week, while returning from her farm in Sawonjo, Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State.

Narrating her ordeal, Anisulowo, who looked frail and tired, said she only took water while in the kidnappers’ custody.But following the inter- agency collaboration and deployment of intelligence, Anisulowo was rescued about 7p.m. on Tuesday at Gbegbelawo village, near Olorunda town in Yewa North Local Government Area.

She stated that the condition under which she was kept was terrifying and dehumanising, adding that she only had hope in God that she would survive.

Her words: “I’m short of words, but I want to thank God. I want to thank the governor for all the efforts you have put in with the security agencies.

“I know the courage you have and the spirit to fight to the end and that was what kept me in the bush there waiting, that with the security agencies that you have, you will work it through. I thank God.”

In his remarks, Amosun expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari and the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase, for their personal interventions in ensuring Anisulowo’s release.

He commended security agencies in the state, including the Police, the Army and the Department of State Services (DSS), for deploying sophisticated equipment and intelligence in rescuing the abducted senator.

The governor, who was in company with his deputy, Mrs Yetunde Onanuga, Secretary to the State Government, Taiwo Adeoluwa, and other top government functionaries, expressed delight that the former National Assembly member was rescued unhurt.

He noted that though the kidnappers demanded N200 million as ransom, no money was paid to secure Anisulowo’s release.

Amosun said: “I have always argued that our security agencies can work, unless they don’t want to. We need to give kudos to God and thank our security people. This, indeed, is a different experience for me; I see the extent to which our security agencies can go.

“If they are given necessary equipment, they will work wonders. This is a huge breakthrough. I think the issue of kidnapping will die down with what they (security agencies) have achieved.

“I think it’s a big shame that we found ourselves where we shouldn’t be; young people that should be working asking for ransom of N200 million. They even said because I got involved, they increased it from N100 million to N200 million.

“They insisted from the second day that their ransom is N200 million. They said they had wanted to collect N100 million and I told them that they will face the law and that it is in their interest to release her.

“They even threatened me and every other person. They said they will teach me, the IG, the Brigade Commander and all others lesson. They were abusing everybody on phone, but we thank God the way it was resolved.”

Politics / EFCC Operatives Leave Fani-kayode’s Home by horizonhotspot(m): 9:03pm On May 06, 2016
Gun-wielding operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, who earlier stormed the No 5, Zuma Close, off Aso Drive, Abuja home of former spokesperson of Goodluck Jonathan’s Presidential Campaign Organization and erstwhile Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, have left the place.

An eye-witness who visited the scene of the siege but pleaded anonymity, said, the operatives of the anti-graft agency decided to leave when hordes of pressmen began to storm Fani-Kayode’s residence.

The ex-Minister had earlier cried out today that officials of the EFCC had surrounded his house in a text message he sent to several media organisations. Recall that the EFCC, earlier, sent a letter to Fani-Kayode’s residence, demanding his presence in their Abuja office by 10.00am on Monday, May 9, 2016, to explain his role in the presidential campaign funds of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the 2015 presidential elections.

The letter was signed by Mr. Mohammed Umar Abba on behalf of the EFCC acting chairman, Mr. Ibrahim Magu.

It was gathered that Fani-Kayode, in a letter through his lawyer, had assured the anti-graft agency that he would duly honour the invitation, even as he had several times insisted that he was not hiding from the EFCC.

Family / Woman Gives Birth To Child At Age 101; Becomes World Oldest Mother (PHOTO) by horizonhotspot(m): 7:56pm On May 04, 2016
Napolian mother, Anatolia Vertadella has proven to all sun and sundry as the Serah of our time. The revelation was made after the Napolian woman gave birth to a 9-pound baby at 101 years-old.

Anatolia beat the previous record holder, Malegwale Ramokgopa, a woman born in South Africa in 1839, who allegedly gave birth to twins three days after celebrating her 92nd birthday on October 3, 1931.

Anatolia Vertadella, the aged woman gave birth after a controversial ovary transplant widely criticized by medical experts because of her old age. Professionals consider the transplant to be illegal and controversial. They claim that European laws on ovary transplant do not apply in the private clinic in Turkey where the operation was carried out.

In response to the effect, Dr Popolicchi, a medical practitioner admits the procedure to be controversial. He further reveals that the operation was completely legal in Turkey and undertaken by a good number of expert surgeons. In his words, “The operation was completely legal, the lady is in good health for her age and I predict she has still a many good years in front of her to share with her child.”

Anatolia Vertadella, in her submission attributed the whole exercise as a miraculous one. She expressed her gratitude to God Almighty, who used the doctors to perform the operation successfully. In her words, “I am so grateful to all the team of doctors who decided to go on with the operation. Also, I am so grateful to have given birth to my 17th child. This is a true blessing and a testament to the power of the creator.”

Celebrities / ‘i’ll Divorce My Wife If She Tries To Change Me’ – Denrele by horizonhotspot(m): 8:52pm On May 03, 2016
Last year, Denrele promised he was finally getting married and he had fans anticipating for the D-day..Fast-forward to 2016, fans haven’t heard wedding bells ..In a chat with Punch, the media personality says the wedding will still take place..

He said,

“I will still get married, honestly, I was supposed to get married last year and I did not plan to publicise the whole affair. I intended to tell people few days to the day of the wedding so that they would come and find out who I was getting married to. But somehow, the news leaked and there was too much media hype around it.

“At a point, it began to look as if I fabricated the story to be in the news but it was the real deal for me. I am trying to pursue the matter but I am not going to say when it would happen. When it is time, people would get the invite but I would not blab. I am going to get married in Nigeria because I have realised over time that I am loved by all. I would not do a strictly VIP crowd because I would invite everybody who is interested in coming, they should come and watch me get married.”


Although he did not mention his fiancée’s name, the weird one said his woman is not in the entertainment industry.

“My fiancée is not in the entertainment industry. She used to be in the industry but quit because she could not come to terms with the industry so she decided to do a regular 9-5 job. Relationship is all about communication, if anyone tries to change who I am, I would send the person back to her family house and collect my bride price back. It cannot happen because at the end of the day, we would be hungry at home and start looking at ourselves. Marriage would not change me. I know that there is that factor of staying true to one person which I am working on. I am getting there,” he said.

Celebrities / How Tiwa Savage’s Alleged Relationship With Otedola Ruined Her Marriage (READ) by horizonhotspot(m): 8:28pm On Apr 30, 2016
Just days after Tunji ‘Teebillz’ Balogun broke the dam that held back the flood of issues in his marriage to singer, Tiwa Savage, investigations have revealed gross infidelity and domestic violence are the main reasons the marriage fell apart.

We gathered that Tiwa Savage was aware of her husband’s vices way before marriage and she refused to heed the advice of friends and family before solemnizing their union.

A source in the know, exclusively revealed to us that Tiwa’s relationship with Don Jazzy ended before her marriage to Teebillz and her affair with 2Face was a one-time thing which also happened a long time ago so Tunji bringing it up was a desperate need for points.

Though Teebillz accused his wife of also sleeping with label mate Dr Sid, the source said it isn’t possible. In her own words: “Dr Sid ba wo? Maybe he was the one buying the condoms for Don Jazzy.”

Though reports of Tiwa allegedly sleeping with money bags in Nigeria in order to advance her career were prevalent years ago, the source insinuated that her manager and fiance at the time, knew about it and she opened up to him about all her previous relationships but he thought he could handle it.

According to the source:

“Honestly, they are both lying and it’s okay so you demonic bloggers don’t take advantage of the situation. Fact is, they both knew what they were getting into. He beat her up many times and she took it because they both had dirt on each other. I particularly was mad at Tiwa way before she even agreed to marry him. Heck, he was fraudulent way before his coming back to Nigeria. What ruined his relationship with Sauce Kid and co? His other baby mama nko? Go and ask. Ask the big boys in LA about Tee Billions and you will hear his gist. Bi-polar oshi wo? He is toxic, leave his mental issues out of it. Bringing a baby into the toxic relationship pissed off most of us.”

It’s unclear why Tiwa decided to settle for a society wedding with her alleged love-vendor and abuser, but the source who is close to the couple claims age was probably the reason as it can’t be love.

The source further revealed their marriage almost ended months after they got married, adding that Tiwa discovered her husband was spending her money on things they don’t need. Also Teebillz allegedly kept blackmailing her about her extra-marital affairs. He kept hanging her alleged relationship with oil magnate, Femi Otedola, over her head.

According to the source:

“He accused her of sleeping with Otedola in the early months of her pregnancy. He slapped and locked her out when she was pregnant due to stories of the affair. She never told us if she indeed slept with the man but her husband kept hammering on it. Even if she did, why didn’t he just walk? Let me answer that, he’s broke and in debt and needs that Otedola money.”

We also gathered that the couple abused substances during the course of their relationship. It unclear if Tiwa was around drugs during her pregnancy, but another source claims they both abused illicit substances.

The source said:

“While Teebillz was blowing money on women, booze and coke, Tiwa was smoking fish. Abeg make she no lie. Yes, the guy get craze for head, but Tiwa sef mental.”

Tiwa who has opened up on issues in their marriage has confirmed most of these allegations. We only hope they do what is best for their baby’s sake.

Celebrities / OMG! Singer, Usher Accidentally Shares Naked Photos Of Himself On Snapchat by horizonhotspot(m): 8:31am On Apr 29, 2016
Do you need more proof that singer Usher Raymond is tired of being married? The 37-year-old crooner accidentally (or intentionally) exposed himself on Snapchat after getting out of the shower. It didn’t take long for the edited image to rocket around the Internet.

The zesty image has insiders scratching their heads wondering why the R&B sex symbol is so thirsty for attention. Any wife should be concerned if her husband films himself naked on Snapchat.

Usher and his wife Grace Miguel, 48, tied the knot in 2015 after dating for 6 years. The couple have no children. Usher has 2 sons with his ex-wife, stylist Tameka Foster.

Celebrities / Hacked? Teebillz Deletes Scandalous Instagram Posts by horizonhotspot(m): 11:21am On Apr 28, 2016
After going on instagram some hours ago to accuse his wife, Donjazzy, Dr. Sid, 2Face of scandalous things. Tunji Balogun seems to have back tracked and as he has taken off the post.

Perhaps his account was hacked. Or someone has talked some sense into him.

If it was the later then it i almost impossible that their marriage will survive this huge storm. If his account was hacked, then we might be expecting a statement from either Tiwa, Teebillz or the two of them.

Either ways, neither Tiwa Savage nor others dragged into the mess have said anything.

Celebrities / PHOTOS: OAP Wannabes’ Hangout With Toolz Of Beat FM by horizonhotspot(m): 10:12pm On Apr 27, 2016
Few people get to meet their mentors and role models in life. So imagine my joy when not only did I meet my mentor, but also talked to her. It was a dream coming true for me literally, when Mrs Tolu Oniru Demuren invited me and some other girls and a guy to an informal hangout to talk radio.

It all started on Sunday morning. I had been unable to sleep because I kept wondering how I was going to fulfill my dreams especially of becoming a radio presenter. I didn’t know anybody in the business and had no idea what the dos and don’ts of the industry were. I wondered if I should just give up on that dream and move on but prayed for direction all the same. I finished praying and started browsing (I was actually instagraming) and there it was. It was past midnight and I was surprised to see a post from Toolz. Apparently, she had been getting a lot of questions concerning how to present and be an OAP. So she thought it’d be a good idea to host a few of her fans interested in radio presenting. I was ecstatic. This was the sign I had been looking for. I quickly sent in a mail half expecting to be picked and I guessed I would be one in a hundred or thereabout to send a request to be invited because who wouldn’t jump at being possibly tutored and mentored by Toolz.

Fortunately for me, I was selected to be one in sixteen other fans to attend her #AskToolz hangout. Time seemed to have slowed down waiting for the day to come and when it finally arrived, I was so anxious, I almost didn’t attend. But then my curiosity and eagerness to meet Toolz overweighed my anxiety and I went.

Getting to the venue of the hangout, I was overwhelmed by the welcoming ambiance and the diversity of characters that were in attendance. They were beautiful, smart and passionate young women like me with the same love I have for radio. I talked to a few of the girls and found out that some of them had other careers or studied a course different from Mass Communication in the University but were still interested in pursuing their radio career. It was amazing to see likeminded young people fighting to keep their passion alive and it really inspired me

Toolz got to the venue and I was awe struck. I decided her pictures didn’t do her any justice and she was far more beautiful than photographs portrayed her to be. And the myth that she was snobbish and arrogant was quickly dispelled too as soon as she opened her mouth to talk. She was so sincerely interested in what we had to say and she listened with attention to our hopes and dreams. It was like talking to one of your big sisters and I couldn’t help but draw on some of the confidence and enthusiasm she naturally exuded.

She advised, cautioned and encouraged us to go after our dreams. She set records straight about some assumption we’ve heard or had about the industry too. And to crown it all up, she fed us. We were treated to the most delicious Chinese cuisines and enough water and drinks.

After #AskToolz, I have come to some conclusions. First of all, there is no price to pay for dreaming big and reaching for the stars. Your personality and attitude is the lasting thing about you so cultivate the right attitude and be yourself. Also, never strive to be famous because fame is not everlasting. Plan and device methods and means of achieving your aims step by step too.

All in all, I cherish meeting my mentor in the radio business and setting some facts right. The Oliver Twist in me can’t stop asking for more. More time with Toolz, more Chinese delicacies and more platforms like these from other celebrities. PEACE!!!!!!!!!

Celebrities / Here's Why Lil Kesh Should Have Remained With YBNL (MUST READ) by horizonhotspot(m): 4:50pm On Apr 26, 2016
There has been so much hullabaloo on LIL KESH leaving YBNL by the end of May. Some news site used the word dump others used even more appalling adjectives for this not so big of an issue. Then he dropped the bomb, he is indeed leaving.

First, lets understand what a record contract is. This is a legally binding contract between an artiste and the label where the said artistes makes records for the label to promote and sell. Now this contract has both exclusivity and territorial clauses in many, that is to say, such artiste can only record songs for the said label and if need be that another label needs the services of their artistes, this can only happen with the permission of the label.

Having said that, here are four reasons why I feel Lil Kesh should not have left YBNL
1).Loyalty: Like I said earlier, friendship between label and their artistes is a very delicate one and with this first point, one would easily think this loyalty deals more with Lil Kesh but instead its more on Olamide’s part. We all can remember the embarrassing issue which happened at this year’s Headies awards, when Lil Kesh, who many believed should have won the next rated award was snubbed. The young man, in a very professional way congratulated the winner and sat down without much visible fuss until his boss took the stage and made the world know just how much he’s got his boy’s back. Can anyone really forget the in less than minutes trending words Olamide used on the stage? I doubt it. Olamide, a young man himself, not caring whose ass is gored made his disappointment known, resulting in the most talked about social media war of the year 2016. I mean who dares fight with Don Baba J, if not Baddo himself. Yes, his loyalty for his boy was beyond comforting and I must say, I doubt there is any other label who would manifest such legendary and epic loyalty to Lil Kesh.

2).Belief: In his new album, Lil Kesh said it himself, only Olamide believed in his music from the start. Olamide, saw the potential in him and took him up. He made is first single a Hit and did not stop there. Olamide made sure for every single dropped, It was a hit back to back. How many labels can dare say there artiste had hits back to back? Except of cos for one (Story for another day). It is one thing to be signed unto a label who sees that a record or two can be made from you, it is another to have a label who believes in your passion, craft and person in general, and we all know what it means for a dad to believe and even tell his son that he has so much faith and believe in him. Olamide, is the one boss I know will push Lil Kesh to the limit to ensure massive success.

3).Fountain of creativity: Even as writers we get writers block, so does artistes. Him being among artistes who sing his type of music is an extra point not to leave the label. Creativity being staunched will never happen for this young man should he stick with the right click which is the YBNL group. The influence of Olamide rubs off well on Lil Kesh and with the kind of music they both do, the sky is just the starting point for Mrmeyagi, should he remain with Olamide Baddo.

4).Consistency: Only Olamide will and can push Lil Kesh to drop songs consistently, so why not remain with the man who knows and understands the trade perfectly well. Consistency is the major key to having a wonderful music career and he is sure to get it with YBNL.

These are just my thoughts though, am certain both parties thought things through and came to their final decision.

Agree and have more reasons why Lil kesh should have remained with YBNL, let us know in the comment box.
