Sexy Sassy singer Mzbel is under pressure to convince the public that
her newly released single, ‘She Saw Me’, is not a profane song.
This comes at a time when she is yet to recover from the disappointment of not being able to perform at the Keri Hilson/Bow Wow concert because her lead dancer had been hijacked by another artiste.
Mzbel sang the song in three different languages; English, Ga and Twi
and some of the expressions in English, when translated in Ga or Twi,
sounded very vulgar and could mean the female sex organ.
Already, the track is causing uproar in Ga and Twi-speaking
communities as the controversy heightens on whether the alleged
profanity in the song was deliberate or coincidental.
But the all-time hit singer has told News-One she has done nothing
wrong by singing that song because she did not mean to be profane.
“I have heard what people are saying about the song but I can’t be
blamed if others are interpreting it the way they want to. I am not a
porn star to sing a profane song. If I wanted to mention a profane word
in Ga or in Twi, I would say it directly without playing on words by
saying ‘saw me’. ‘She Saw Me’ is not profane unless you want to
interpret it as such but I am the singer and that was not what I meant,’
Mzbel, known in private life as Nana Ekua Amoah, told News-One.
The track was produced by Jay-Q and is currently up for free download on her website, www.mzbelgh.com.
“It is a single. I am currently releasing singles and would compile
them in December for my album. My next single would be with Appietus and
I am also doing one with Kesse,” Mzbel disclosed.
Mzbel, over the weekend, could not perform at the Keri Hilson/Bow Wow concert that came off at the Dome of the Accra International Conference Centre although the MC had announced the musician was coming on stage and the DJ had started playing her instrumental.
News-One gathered that Mzbel had rehearsed her performance with particular dancers who had specific instructions on how the show would be choreographed.
However, when Mzbel was introduced and she was backstage waiting to
do her thing, her dancers were nowhere to be found because they had just
finished dancing for the previous artiste and had not finished changing
into another costume for Mzbel’s performance.

2 Shotz Responds To Accusation Of Collecting N100,000 Without Appearing For Show
Rapper 2 shotz has responded to the accusation by lead city university students
that he collected N100,000 from them for a fashion show and didn't
appear .The rapper has responded through his publicist , read below:
"It’s
been deemed necessary for 2shotz to respond through his publicist,
about the stories making rounds that he collected money for a fashion
event in Lead City University Ibadan and refused to turn up.
The
said amount [N100, 000] was meant for 2Shotz appearance at the fashion
show. It must be made clear that 2Shotz has a no refund policy of such
fee.
Unlike stories going round, 2Shotz was actually in Ibadan for the event
but unfortunately, the organizers did not pick him (2Shotz) up at the
hotel for the show. As expected anywhere in the world, when you invite
an artiste for an event, it is the responsibility of the organizers to
get the artiste to the said venue, something these organizers failed to
do, as seen in the attached conversation.
“I
was very angry, that the organizers could bring me to Ibadan, and did
not find it necessary to come pick me up at the hotel” said 2Shotz
It is rather unfortunate, that the organizers could still go ahead and paint up such story.
2Shotz remains faithful to his fans and will continue to churn out good music that will always keep"

The World’s First Zero-Star Hotel
We
all know what a five-star hotel implies, but what about a zero-star
hotel? Hmmm…zero-star I’m finding doesn’t necessarily mean “horrible,”
just “different.”
Located between the mountains in Switzerland, the Null Stern Hotel is the brainchild of Swiss artists ( and twin brothers) Frank and Patrik Riklin and happens to be the world’s only zero-star hotel.
Considered a truly underground experience, the Null Stern has the tagline: “The only star is you,” and they mean it. This hotel is literally placed inside of a Cold War bunker.
There are no views since there are no windows, and privacy is at a minimum because bathrooms are shared.Look on the bright side, this is one of the cheapest places you’ll ever stay short of your mother’s couch; the cost is a mere 7€ ($8USD) per night per person.
The massive concrete structure features near-two-foot-thick blast doors designed to withstand the full brunt of a nuclear, chemical, or, I’m assuming, zombie attack.
Once inside the ex-nuclear shelter, deep underground, you’ll find two large rooms enabling 14 people to sleep in the same space – so you had better play well with others.
In the bunker’s heyday, this fallout shelter had the ability to hold as many as 200 people in time of crisis; as a hotel, that number dwindled considerably.
Luxury amenities at this hotel are at a minimum, but they do exist; there are noise-reducing earplugs, slippers, and a hot water bottle; yes, a hot water bottle due to the fact that a heating system is non-existent.
In an interview with The Guardian, Patrik Riklin shared his and his brother’s philosophy, “We wanted to create a space of contrasts, like sugar and fish. They are two things that naturally don’t go together, but matched up they make people think, for good or bad. That’s how we see the Null Stern. We kept the internal structure of the shelter intact – the concrete and the duct-work – and then we added the warmth of antique beds and furniture. For us, it’s an art installation before it’s a hotel – a place where people can think about their surroundings.”
“Art installation” might be stretching it a bit; but then again, art is subjective.
Not the place for everyone (or most), the Null Stern will be an experience of a lifetime – just hope it’s one you choose to take and are not forced to take.

Don Jazzy tells THISDAY Style ‘Mo’Hits will never die’
In this interview culled from ThisDay Style, the hit producer says he believes the hit label ‘lives on’.
Tell me a bit about yourself; what was your childhood like?
Well, I was born in Umuahia but spent
most of my childhood in Lagos after our family moved here. I am the
eldest of four kids. I have always loved music and started banging drums
and instruments when I was a kid. As I grew older, I started
experimenting with different sounds even if they didn’t make sense.
What inspired you to go into music?
I have always been surrounded by music
growing up. My father was in the music business and retains a very
special interest in it until today. Music was part and parcel of our
everyday life.
Was it an easy take breaking into the Nigerian entertainment industry?
God has been extremely generous to me so
thankfully it has not been so bad. But believe me, there were some
trials. After we set up, we even considered selling it off when some
offers came in. If not that there were some delays, we may have sold for
like N1m. Fortunately, it was not to be and God allowed us go from
strength to strength.
Contrary to some of your
predecessors, it didn’t take you long to create a niche for yourself as
the don of the Nigerian entertainment and the beats master. What was the
secret behind your success?
God almighty, a lot of hard work, a
wonderful team, loads of practice and study of the music game, knowing
what the people want, and loving what I do.
The birth of MAVIN signifies a new era for you. How do you feel about it?
I feel gingered and ready to work as
always. Nothing stops. We will just keep working. I’m excited because
things look beautiful so far for a new company. I am the kind of person
who always looks forward to what he does. MAVIN is like a new child for
me and I am so excited about it. On the day we launched I could hardly
even sleep.
There have been a lot of
speculations and wild rumours; could you clear the air as to real reason
behind the breakup of the record label?
Most of the things out there have been
fabricated. I have not even been giving interviews until after the
launch of MAVIN so where the stories came from, I do not know. There was
no major problem behind the split. D’banj and I just decided we wanted to branch out and try different things musically and professionally.
The dictionary definition of the
MAVIN means someone who is dazzlingly skilled in his field an expert so
to say. Was there a particular reason to the choice of this name for
your record label? Were you perchance trying to pass a message to your
fans?
Yes! You always think hard when creating
a company. You think about what beat describes you or the company or
how people see you as. So MAVIN meaning genius kind of sounded sexy (Laughing)
although people have been complaining that we are forcing them to read
the dictionary for the meaning of the MAVIN and even Solar Plexus, the
name of the new album. Everybody has his or her own unique skill in
life, whatever it is you do, don’t just be amazing at it, be a MAVIN at
it.
There’s a fresh addition to the
group in person of Tiwa Savage, a clear diversion from the all-male feel
of the group. If at all an addition, why a female artist, and why Tiwa
Savage?
Even at, I wanted to sign a female
artiste but the opportunity never really came up. Tiwa and I have a
connection musically. We work well together that’s why she was first
choice to get activated.
Do you have any plans to push MAVIN deep into the international market? And do you intend to go about it?
Yes we all definitely want to grow. And
we intend to go about it one step at a time. Slow and steady wins the
race. We are Nigerians and this is our base but African music is hot in
the world right now so we must meet that demand too.
Where did you draw inspirations from during the creation of Solar Plexus?
Well the name itself actually came from
my dad. He loves winding us with big grammar. The inspiration for the
album itself came from God. I just wanted to make songs that were
different from songs out at the moment production wise. Although I
played with sounds not common in the Nigerian market now, I am glad it’s
working fine meaning we Nigerians are now opening up our ears to alien
sounds little by little.
Seeing as the album was created
just a little while after the breakup of records, how were you able to
concentrate in the midst of all the mayhem?
It wasn’t easy. But I am someone that
doesn’t have any trouble and don’t like trouble each other. I have built
myself up in a way that not a lot of things bother me. There is nothing
you can’t achieve with hard work and prayers. I always just try and let
the music do the talking.
Is there any possibility of
reconciliation between you and D’banj, not only in terms of the
brotherly friendship that existed between you but also to create music?
(Laughs) Who said we quarrelled? There
can only be reconciliation when people have quarrelled before. We are
good. We even worked together recently on the ‘Oliver Twist‘ remix and performed in New York.
Is Don Jazzy a musician or a producer?
(Laughs) All of the above.
A last word on the death of Mo’Hits any regrets?
None. No matter how much people call it
that, it actually can’t die. The great songs we made as will outlive you
and I. Mo’Hits lives on in every one of us.
Why We Bought A Private Jet – P Square
Jude Okoye has stated the reason why his brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye, P Square, recently acquired a private jet : It is to travel around in style and to meet up with our busy schedules.
In a brief phone chat with R from Johannesburg, Jude said the duo had been busy shooting commercials and working hard on their next album.
“We shall be here till next month. As already tweeted, we thank our fans for being there for us.”
One of their tweets recently gave the duo out about their new acquisition. “Jetting privately….thanks to God and the fans. You all made it possible. Baba God done settle us…I no go lie. Just included on our list…that very list……shhhhhh,” Peter tweeted few hours ago.
According to information, the award winning twins recently paid an Arabian several millions of dollars to pick this private airbus.
P-Square top the list of privileged few of Nigeria’s new generation of musicians who are making money from music. With landed properties in Jos, Port Harcourt and their newly built Lagos mansion, it’s no doubt that the dynamic duo are living large.

'Monster' hid Etan's body in bodega fridge before trash dump: sources
He put Etan’s body on ice.
The man who confessed to strangling little Etan Patz was calculating enough to stash the child’s corpse in a basement walk-in refrigerator before tossing it out with the trash, sources told The Post yesterday.
Demented murder suspect Pedro Hernandez, 51, revealed to authorities that after killing the child May 25, 1979, “he put him in the walk-in box and kept him there until he took him out and put him in the garbage,” a law-enforcement source said.
It’s unclear how long Hernandez, then 19, kept the boy’s body hidden in the basement fridge at his family’s SoHo bodega, where he worked as a stock boy, after killing him. Etan’s body had been stuffed in a plastic bag and then put into a box before being stowed in the walk-in, sources said.
But the grisly package remained there until the coast was clear and
Hernandez could sneak it out to the street that night. He told cops he
wound up carrying the box to an alley down the block and dumping it in
other garbage that was later hauled off by a trash truck.
The lurid detail came during Hernandez’s stunning confession to cops last week in which he admitted to luring the towheaded 6-year-old into the bodega with the promise of a cold soda. Etan had been walking to his school bus stop — just across the street from the bodega — by himself for the very first time when he was abducted.
Cops are feverishly poring over old blueprints of the building to see if they include any description of the walk-in.
A longtime resident said the bodega’s owner at the time, identified as Luis, also used the basements of two neighboring businesses for storage and illegal cockfights.
Hernandez could have brought Etan’s body to a refrigerator that was either in a common storage area used by both businesses or in a space directly below the bodega where the owner’s wife cooked.
Cops want to confirm that Hernandez’s descriptions of the basement space where the walk-in was located matches architectural drawings from that time to make sure he’s telling the truth.
They also are reviewing Sanitation Department records to try to confirm other details of his confession and to determine whether it would make sense to search for Etan’s remains in a landfill.
Sources yesterday said the child’s remains could have wound up in the now-closed Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island or the Fountain Avenue landfill in Brooklyn.
They also could have been brought to the Gansevoort incinerator on West 12th Street.
The NYPD plans to scour sanitation, landfill and incinerator log books from that time before determining whether to launch a search for the remains, Sanitation spokesman Vito Turso said.
The grisly developments came as sources told The Post that NYPD brass pressured a reluctant Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. to OK Hernandez’s arrest, despite Vance’s concerns over a lack of corroborating evidence.
The DA — still stung by criticism for busting French pol Dominique Strauss-Kahn in a Manhattan sex case, only to later drop the charges because of the alleged victim’s lack of credibility — wanted more proof before charging Hernandez with murder, said several law-enforcement sources.
“After the last headache with DSK, you don’t want another black eye,” one source told The Post.
“You only have one guy making a confession; you don’t have corroborating evidence. That’s never a way to do any case, never mind a high-profile case like this,” the source said. “The DA was not happy to rush to make this arrest. They wanted more things done.”
An FBI source suggested that Vance’s misgivings would explain why he wasn’t at the news conference where Police Commissioner Ray Kelly announced Hernandez’s arrest — even though Vance had campaigned on reopening the case.
“Hey, he’s bipolar,” the FBI source said of Hernandez. “Not that this is not the guy — it might be. But there is skepticism.”

Man butchers wife with machete
wife after accusing her of infidelity.
Yaw Avoke, unemployed, walked to the police station to hand himself over after allegedly carrying out his diabolical act.
According to the police, Avoke reportedly used a heavy stick to hit the head of his wife, Akusi Ajoda, 48, from behind, before inflicting multiple machete wounds on her at their remote cottage at Gyanse, near Osiem in the Fanteakwa District in the Eastern Region.
He was said to have showed no mercy to the helpless woman, with whom he had seven children, also Togolese, who was preparing supper for the family about 7.40 p.m. on May 25, 2012.
According to the police, the suspect struck his wife down from behind and, after she had fallen down, used a machete to butcher her.
While she was on the ground, she made several attempts to defend herself with both hands, while at the same time screaming for help, but Avoke was said to have used the machete to chop off both hands, rendering her incapacitated to defend herself.
According to the police, Avoke inflicted further machete wounds at the back of the Akusi’s head, her body, legs and arms and other parts of the body.
After killing her, he used fresh plantain leaves to cover the body and walked to the Osiem Police Station to hand himself over to the police.
Akusi had two children from her previous marriage before marrying Avoke some years ago.
The two had lived together with some of their young children in their isolated cottage for some years until the suspect began complaining that his wife was flirting with another person, for which reason she showed him no respect.
The New Tafo-Akyem Divisional Police Commander, Assistant Superintendent of Police John Yeboah, told the Daily Graphic that when a team of policemen was sent to Gyanse, it found Akusi’s mutilated body and conveyed it to the morgue of the New Tafo Government Hospital.
He said the suspect would be put before court on Monday.
