Rick Ross to Collaborate with Blaqbonez on African-Themed Album
American rapper Rick Ross, known for his interest in Nigerian and African music, is working on an African-themed album. During a recent Instagram Live session with Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez, Ross shared that his favorite song from Blaqbonez is the hit single “Bling,” featuring Amaarae and BNXN. Blaqbonez explained that “Bling” was inspired by his disappointment at losing the Best Musician award to Kenyan artist Kaligraph Jones at the Soundcity MVP Awards.
Recently, Ross teased a new song that includes a snippet of Blaqbonez’s verse, hinting at a collaboration. This collaboration was confirmed during their Instagram Live session, with Ross continuing to develop his album featuring artists from across Africa. Earlier this year, Ross mentioned Nigerian artists Portable and Odumodublvck as potential collaborators and later discussed Afrobeats with Odumodublvck in another Instagram Live session.
Ross’ African-themed album is expected to feature a range of artists, including Nigerian Grammy-nominated star Ayra Starr, Ghanaian dancehall artist Stonebwoy, and Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz. This project marks a return to Ross’ previous collaboration with Nigerian duo P-Square on the remix of their hit “Beautiful Oyinye” in 2011.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
