Tuface Idibia’s protest march causes controversy across the internet

Beginning with an article by a writer at Pulse NG discrediting Tuface’s personality, credibility and intentions for the proposed protest, the ball was set rolling for a day of defences and criticisms for Tuface’s actions.

Rapper, MI Abaga came to Tuface’s rescue calling on the Pulse writer to apologise, then the conversation moved on to a professor who described Tuface as illiterate but has now tendered an apology.

Then came Tuface’s former singing partner, Blackface who is ever prepared to launch attacks on his former friend and the counter attacks that followed from Nigerians who agree with Tuface’s cause.

Later on in the day, Tuface addressed all the issues in a video where he reiterated he need for a peaceful protest that will hopefully get the Nigerian government at all levels to act.

Davido goes back to basics as he welcomes former manager, Asa Asika

Total boycott? Drake, Justin Bieber and Kanye West won’t be attending the Grammys

Out of touch and irrelevant are the words that young American music stars now use to describe the Grammy Awards.

For totally unrelated excuses, Drake, Kanye and Bieber will be absent at this year’s Grammys.

TMZ reports that Drake will be on tour in Europe, Justin Bieber will be away and unapologetic because he doesn’t think the Grammys are relevant while Kanye who’s got 8 nominations won’t be attending too.

Kanye had made his grievance known when Frank Ocean’s album did not get nominated for the awards. Ocean refused to submit his album for consideration as he thought the award did not represent young, black artistes.
