Genevieve Nnaji - Why I didn't become a Glo Ambassador
It came as a surprise to many that Genevieve wasn't picked up as a Glo ambassador instead she was signed on by Etisalat. They were reports that the deal didn't pull through because she referred them to her manager and even when Mike Adenuga personally called her, she said the same.
She told PMnews:
She told PMnews:
"First of all, that is not true as I never spoke to Dr. Mike Adenuga. In fact, it will be a honour to speak with him. However, let us face the subject of speaking with my manager. I think it is professional that managers should be contacted when issues about business are about to be discussed. I am not saying that was the issue with that particular brand. But let’s assume it was; is there any problem speaking with someone’s management? Please tell me.Truly I was approached. We had negotiations but things didn’t work out and everyone moved on. It is simple.

SEE! Charles Novia Advice To Wizkid And Davido Beef
Nollywood actor and producer Charles Novia, following series of subliminal tweets exchange between Davido and Wizkid. He took to Twitter to give his words of advice to on Davido and Wizkid.: -
“Isn’t it about time Davido and Wizkid start acting their real ages? There is a level of maturity expected from guys above 21 years. When they start beefing as much as they do, the focus of their artistry gets lost. Idle distractions only help in destroying their careers. Their fans taking sides, the industry gets polarized and it doesn't augur well for future sales of both albums.
So, they should know that the only people profiting from their beef are the bloggers and entertainment news hounds. Fueling divisions. Next songs we might hear from each of those guys would be ‘I get fans pass you’ or ‘you no rich pass me’ Distractions from their main art. Continue...
