Wizkid promises fans a concert like never before



International pop star Wizkid says his teeming fans are in for the big thrill this Friday, as he performs in Lagos with his label mates.

The EME concert, tagged ‘The Baddest’, is produced by events company R28, and is the first in a set of big-budget international standard concerts to be promoted by R28 and EME. The concert holds at The Grounds, Oceanview, in Victoria Island, Lagos, on Friday December 21.


‘Headlining this concert with my boss Banky W, and my colleagues Niyola, Shaydee, Skales, DJ Exclusive and others is truly a great way to end this fantastic year’, says Wizzy who had earlier in the year toured the UK and US with his crew.

‘And, trust me, we’re bringing a concert like never before’.


Apart from Wizkid, Banky, Niyola, Skales and others, many Nigerian acts from different generations are also expected to hit the stage in what many have tagged the concert of the year.

According to a spokesperson for R28, The Baddest concert ‘will feature themed performances, big band sets, and all the electricity you’d expect to find in a truly international concert of this kind’.

Meanwhile, Banky W, who’s one of Nigeria’s most celebrated singers and performers, has said the Christmas concert organized by his label Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) and respected events company R28, is a special Christmas gift to Nigerians from both organizations.

W, who will headline the concert with his EME colleagues Wizkid, Skales, Niyola, Shaydee and others, with support from friends from here and abroad, says The Baddest concert is ‘the kind of gift no money can buy’.

‘’We’re truly grateful to Nigerians for the support and I hope they’ll come out on Friday December 21, so we can have an opportunity to say thank you…’

The Baddest concert holds at 7Pm this Friday December 21, at The Grounds, Oceanview, in Victoria Island, Lagos.

Apart from Wizkid, Banky, Niyola, Skales and others, many Nigerian acts from different generations are also expected to hit the stage in what many have tagged the concert of the year.

Styl-Plus break-up is official? Tunde Akinsanmi rebrands as NativeBoy, to release Xmas single

Remember Styl-Plus, the late nineties/early noughties R&B group who made several efforts at staging a comeback but failed?
Well news is that the T in STyl-Plus, Tunde Akinsanmi, is now pushing his new company, BAT Records Nigeria LTD which is a parent company to BAT Records Studios and BAT Clothing Company.
Since the group went their separate ways, Akinsanmi changed his stage name to NativeBoy but holds that he will always be a member of the group that brought us, Olufunmi.
NativeBoy In Your Eyes (I.Y.E) is Akinsanmi’s debut single which is rapidly becoming a sensational electronica/pop track worldwide.
NativeBoy In Your Eyes is now ranked #1 on Reverbnation for Electronica/R&B/Pop in Nigeria.
A new single will be coming shortly before Christmas. Stay tuned…
You will recall that Styl-Plus’ second album; “Unbreakable” did not fly in the market, and their most recent singles did not break waters at all.
But they had a really good run. In 1997, Akinsanmi teamed up with Shifi Emoefe , Yemi Akinwonmi and Lanre Faneyi to form the group STYL which later evolved to the award-winning group Styl-Plus with the addition of Zealous Onyecheme when Lanre passed away in 1999 and Yemi left the band.  Styl-Plus have performed worldwide including USA, UK, Ireland, South Africa, Nigeria & more.
The Group have preformed with a number of artists including Shaka Demus and Pliers, Femi Kuti, 2 Face, Jazzman Olofin, Ruggedman, P-Square and opened concerts for Wyclef Jean, Boyz II Men and Yvonne Chaka Chaka. The group has received numerous Nigerian National awards as well as International awards by Channel O, Amen Awards and Kora Award nominees. In 2005, Call My Name won best R&B video award by Channel O South African music station.
