CocoIce In Trouble

CocoIce In Trouble Over Unpaid Debts As Magikal Entertainment Prepares Lawsuit
The management of Magikal Entertainment have resolved to take a legal action against the rap artiste, CocoIce over a lingering unpaid debt running into several millions of Naira the artiste is owing the management company after having made several overture to her for her to pay up the money. This much was revealed in a statement made available to us by the company.
According to Biodun Caston-Dada, the management CEO, “we have sent her several e-mails, requesting for the payment of the debt since she had signed up with a record label over 4 months ago, but she had been ignoring our mails and NEVER replied any, this her nonchalant attitude is leaving us with no other option but to take a legal action for us to be able to recoup our investment made on her and the money she’s owing us. We have a duly signed agreement by her that she is owning Magikal and we are set to recoup the money through a legal means”, he stated.
The management company further stated that the money in contention were spent on her songs and music video productions, welfare as well as many other promotional items while she was still with the company.
The company said that they’ve tried all within their power to resolve the issue amicably out of court but the rap artiste is not yielding on her part or show any concern to pay up the said money.

“Don Jazzy Has A Crush On Me, Iyanya is naturally flirtatious” — Toolz


 
Well, I am not surprised! Months ago, Don Jazzy in a quick chat with PUNCH, disclosed that heavily ‘endowed ladies’ with front and back turn him on – apparently, popular OAP, Tolu Oniru aka Toolz, turns him on too! Lol
The award wining On-Air-Personality Presenter of Beat FM Toolz, was the guest on today’s episode of Rubbin Minds and she revealed quite a lot!
When asked to talk about about her love life, she admitted she’s in a relationship – that’s the first time she is publicly admitting that! “I am dating one of the Demurens presently but I can’t say for how long…Don Jazzy is my personal person, he has a crush on me”

On what she thinks of Iyanya, she said ”Iyanya is naturally flirtatious” -thus we shouldn’t blame him for being involved with too many ladies

Ramsey Nouah Speaks On His Career, Genevieve Nnaji and Fans

The 40 year old Nigerian movie star recently sat down with Emma Emerson ofGolden Icons for an exclusive interview on his career, his family, Genevieve Nnaji and yes – his crazy fans.

Ramsey Nouah & Emma Emerson - August 2013 - BellaNaija -02
After a brief hiatus, the Golden Icons team is back with more interesting interviews just in time for the second edition of its awards ceremony.
Fun Facts about the Interview
On being called Africa’s No. 1 - 
 With a career spanning over a decade, Ramsey can definitely call himself Africa’s leading actor. But the star stays humble saying he feels good about the compliment and loves the fact that people see him that way.
On ever dating Genevieve Nnaji – As much as we would have loved them to get married, nothing ever happened. He tells Emma, that he thinks Nollywood fans would have preferred it that way but they obviously have different destinies.
Who he looked up to when starting in the industry – He says at the time he started there weren’t many people he could look up to as role models. It was just about him carving a niche for himself.

Yvonne Nwosu Smashing New photos

Yvonne Nwosu
She’s got over 7000 followers on her Instagram page and we’ll tell you why: Yvonne Nwosu is one heck of a fashionista.
The Nigerian fashion designer who’s well known for posting trendy photos on the photo-sharing social network however shared a different set of photos on August 8, 2013 which was her birthday.
Dressed in a multi-coloured blouse and nothing else (except her high heels) Yvonne showed off her light skinned thighs, kinky. Then there was the set of handcuffs hanging on the bed stand, maybe for some role playing?
In January, Nwosu was romantically linked with rapper Ice Prince after photos of the pair landed on the web.
They however never confirmed they went into a relationship.
