DENRELE EDUN IS GETTING MARRIED
The popular channel O VJ and former sound city presenter, Denrele Edun , who is always in the news for his rather out-of-the-way fashion statements, is set to get hitched this year.
This really comes as a shock as the sexuality of the weird presenter is still unclear.
It will be recalled that during an interview on Twitter with Kimani off air on February 22, 2015, Denrele might have revealed that he is indeed gay. When he was asked if he was gay, he replied, “being gay is a tough job, but someones gotta do it!”
But during an interview with Saturday Punch in February, the entertainer had said that although he had a lady in his life, he was not fully committed.
The entertainer has probably changed his mind and is ready to walk down the aisle with his lady love. In a telephone conversation with Saturday Beats, Denrele said he would be getting married this year.

I HAVE NOT GIVEN UP ON MY POLITICAL AMBITION- 9ICE
The Nigerian musician Abolore Akande, popularly known as 9ice has revealed that he has not given up on his political ambition.
In an interview with Vanguard, the musician talks about his ambition to become the governor of Oyo State.
He was asked several questions. When asked;
On lessons he learnt from his experience in politics:
“Ive learnt that Nigeria lacks leadership. Its ‘moneyticians‘ that they see, and they have no choice but to follow whoever they see. During the course of my campaign, i learnt a lot and i got closer to the people, i listened to their yearnings and realized that they want a lot of things, but are not getting what they want.
I will also implore people who have the passion to lead their people to offer themselves up for service. The people that we have there now are not leaders; they are just there, for what they’ll gain”.
On his ultimate ambition;
“My ultimate ambition in politics is to become the governor of Oyo State. However, ill still run for the Federal House of Representatives to serve my constituency in the next election. I believe i can serve in that position very well, and i know that i stand the chance to become the governor of Oyo State”
On his plans for the people as the special adviser to the Oyo State governor on youths:
“My plans are to spring up many ideas that i already have at the back of my mind. Initiatives like the governor’s cup in terms of sports, and also by organizing debates. The era of debates has died and i think we need to encourage the brilliant students who have the capacity for that in Oyo State. I intend to present such students to the governor so they can be supported academically, and if the powers support the idea then we are good to go”
On how he intends to combine his role as a public official and an artiste:
“I don’t think one disturbs the other. My political office is during the day as Abolore Akande, and music is performed a t night by 9ice. I think i have already differentiated the two”
On his plans to work towards regulating the industry in his own way:
“Definitely! Thats one of the reasons why im in politics. People in this industry complain every day, but there will be no change if we don’t participate. The more we are in government, the better it will be for us”.
9ice, born as Alexander Abolore Adegbola Adigun Alapomeji is a Nigerian musician. He is a south-westerner from Ogbomosho in Oyo State but he grew up in the district of Bariga in Lagos. He is known for his use of Yoruba language in his music, but mixes the Yoruba proverbs with English, Hausa and Ibo sometimes.
The Gongo Aso crooner contested for the Federal House of Representatives, Ogbomosho North/ Ogbomosho South/ Orire Federal constituency on the platform of his party, All Progressive Congress (APC) but lost out at the primaries in the just-concluded general elections. 9ice was later appointed as the special adviser to the Oyo State governor, Abiola Ajimobi, on youths.

After their divorce papers were filed in September, the couple went through a very public falling out with allegations of infidelity.
Then in February, Wiz voiced his frustrations on Twitter after Amber allegedly didn’t allow Bash to go to a birthday he planned for their son
But Easter brought a positive spin for the couple, Wiz, Amber and Bash were seen together, a sign that they were at least on friendlier terms.
Last month, Amber voiced her love for Wiz despite their drama and although they are working on co-parenting, there haven’t been signs of a romantic reunion just yet.
However, there have been rumors floating around about Amber dating rapper, MGK. Rose was asked if the rumors were true and she was rather coy with her answer.
