WIzkid says Seyi Shay lied about his 'One Dance' song with Drake!








Seyi Shay, Nigerian Afro-pop singer, has alleged that the hit single, ‘One Dance’ actually belongs to Wizkid and not Canadian superstar, Drake.
 
Drake released ‘One Dance’ featuring Wizkid and Kyla in April 2016 and it rapidly became a number one hit song globally and was on several charts across the world.

Seyi Shay, while she was in the United States, revealed to @iamdjakademiks on his show On Stage, that Wizkid owns the song and only gave it to Drake whom then stripped the song off its Afro-beat rhythm.

However, Wizkid has denied the claims made by his compatriot, Seyi Shay about ‘One Dance’ In the  interview with DJ Akademiks  as he  took to his Twitter to state that “she lied”!

The Starboy CEO also advised his former collaborator and friend to “shut up” and stop speaking on what she knows nothing about. see tweets below:

The singer further noted that he loves Seyi Shay in spite of the lie.

General Pype talks new single release and album








Nigerian born music sensation, Majekodunmi Olayiwola Ibrahim, popularly known as 'General Pype' speaks on dropping his debut album after the release of his latest track Seed. 

The 'Champion' singer who took a break from the music scene revealed that he and his team have been working hard to see that his debut album brings joy to the youth. In an interview with Metro FM, General Pype made it clear that there is no release date for the debut album yet as he wants to take his fans by surprise.

 “Basically, we’ve been working. I mean, every time I’ve been on the radio in the past 2-3 years, it has always been like the album is dropping very soon but right now I don’t want to say that, I just want it to happen. So basically we have a whole lot of songs dropping just like ‘Seed’ came out of the blues. A lot of things, a lot videos and audios are coming out and we’re working officially to drop the album, the debut album. The album has been the major focus and getting my team together, we’ve been recruiting, we’ve been grooming ourselves towards the big days. Trust me, I’m coming with my battalion fully armed. My songs are my weapons. Music, my words are what I consider my weapon. Weapon to do good things in the hearts of the youths.” We should be expecting the release of his hot sizzling debut album anytime soon.
