COPYRIGHT WATCHDOG RAID MUSICAL SOCIETY OFFICES

The Federal Government, Wednesday, wielded the big stick against the Musical Copyright Society of Nigeria, MCSN, over some of the latter’s illegal activities.

A statement issued by the Public Affairs Department of the Nigerian Copyright Commission, NCC, Nseabasi Unagwu, said the action became necessary to forestall the activities of MCSN, such as granting of fraudulent licenses for the usage of musical and film works.

Davido Denies Beef With Wizkid

Davido says there's no beef between him and fellow teen star WizKid. "He's my brother, my nigga, we're just making money" he squealed into AMC mic. Well, with the kind of reputation he's gaining these days - being wanted by the police today and the following day claiming to being blackmailed, I think I'll take his comments with a pinch of salt and wait till level-headed Wizzy opens up on the palaver. Because as we all know, it takes two to Tango. *The Spy ALWAYS finds out and ALWAYS tells it like it is. Follow @africancelebspy on Twitter and like us on Facebook.

OKOTIE/HENSHAW PALAVER: STRANGE INTERVIEW

The following is a report I've just spied on the NFC website. I jumped on the story because NFC titled "Why I Sent My Wife Packing". It is said to be excerpts from a so-called "Exclusive Interview" granted the City People magazine by the man I call "bling bling" pastor Chris Okotie through a spokesperson. What utter rubbish! First, the whole set up (an interview via a third party) is absurd and the crucial question as to why he divorced Stephanie Henshaw remained unanswered. Who does this guy think he is, God? Please if you do not want to be as enraged as I am do not bother to read this piece of garbage. If you do, then please let us know what you think by posting your comment...

Rev Chris Okotie gave an "exclusive interview" to City People magazine through a minister in his church, Rev Grace Funmi Paul, a member of House Hold of God for the past 25 years. It’s a long interview but here are

Don Jazzy Hails D'Banj And Others But Slams Twitter For Not Verifying His Account

DON JAZZY: Kudos To Twitter For Not Verifying Me

If he's not distributing cash he's dishing out kudos - That's what makes MAVIN Records boss Don Jazzy such an enigmatic and endearing character. This ace beat-maker has been shouting out to his pals and associates.... saying the kind of touching things people usually manage to say ONLY at people's funerals. My late dad used to say "Love me while I'm alive not when I'm dead because I won't know if you do". So, Don made yesterday "Kudos  Day" on Twitter. Hear him: ’Dont hoard people’s kudos. dont be afraid or ashamed, appreciate your tweeps. give kudos where kudos is due. Give #kudos today.’

‘KUDOS to our baba 2face for just being who he is. i dont think he knows how much he has influenced me.. 2 JJC 4 w/out him i wld still B doing tungba music. not saying that is not gd but i found out i was better doing something else. Kudos to my bro, Dbanj for without him, my production skils i gathered from JJC might have been a waste. dude made me don jazzy … to Wandecoal for making my beats sound great with his voice from heaven. and for the name Don baba J…to D’prince who made sure he criticized all my beats till i made Tongolo remix. i kinda always wanted to prove to him i could do it.’ He then gave kudos to Twitter for "Not verifying me."

"The Child Is Mine" - Akon

The long standing child battle between Uganda’s socialite Susan Owori and Senegalese born US rapper Akon real names Aliaune Damala Badara Thiam is about to end. This is after the ‘Beautiful’ star singer accepted fathering a baby with the Kampala born socialite.

In a story published on July 22 in the the New York Daily News and celebrity gossip website, TMZ Akon’s representatives revealed that; “Akon may have just discovered that he’s a father again, but he plans on doing right by his baby mama Susan Owori, whom he impregnated while on tour in Uganda.” Susan is younger sister to city fashionista Sylvia Owori -

Akon with his five children

 The gossip website TMZ further states that Akon accepted responsibility after a paternity test revealed that he was actually the real father of a baby boy.

It was revealed last month, that the Konvict music label mogul had actually filed paternity documents in court to become the legal father of the kid he fathered with the Ugandan socialite. Akon asked the court to grant him joint legal custody. He’s also requested the kid be eligible to inherit from him — same as if they were born in wedlock — and to keep his last name.

However, Suzan’s close pals have intimated that she only willing to agree to a deal of a joint custody if Akon marries her. “She is only willing to have joint custody if Akon accepts to marry her or else there is no deal” a pal added. Efforts to contact Susan for a comment on Friday were fruitless as she told a snoop she was at the airport jetting out to the United States. “I am at the airport right now heading out to the US. But I will call you back as soon as I settle” she added.

This whole new twist is shocking considering the Locked Up singer vehemently denied having ever slept with Susan Owori let alone fathering a kid with her. As for Susan’s part, she claims that Akon planted a live seed into her vuvu in May 2008 when he appeared in Kampala for Celtel Uganda concert.

Shockingly, if Akon is successful with his court papers, Susan’s son with him will be his sixth child from a fourth woman. He already has five boys who are all set to inherit from his vast empire.

Shabby Prince

This is the behind of  award-winning Nigerian rap star Ice Prince. The Oleku singer was arrested by our fashion police at the "Close-Up Loves Naija" concert on Sunday for his DISGUSTING dress sense. Even if you're being paid to advertise your boxers brand, you have to insist on a proper photo shoot not drop your pants in public. Ice Prince, I know there's nothing "You Nor Fit Do" and I really do love you but you SUCK, looking like this. So stop copying hip hop nonsense and grow up.

Omotola's Bum Job: Is It True?

Tongues are wagging vigorously that Nollywood's most bootylicious actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde aka Omo Sexy has had a butt lift surgery. Her already huge bum of all? Logically, insecure people enhance their "weaker" features not their best asset so the rumor doesn't ring sensible to me but if indeed she did it out of vanity then she must be off her rockers or even worse.

"I'M BEING BLACKMAILED" - DAVIDO

Following recent reports that he is wanted by police for his alleged involvement in the assault of a taxi driver, Nigerian teen star Davido has issued the statement below...

Davido

"I want to assure all my beloved fans and friends that, I am not wanted by the police and no officer in the Nigerian police gave an order for my arrest. I went to the police some weeks ago to give a statement and cleared my name. I did not beat up any taxi driver and the lady that hired the taxi driver and all those that are involved in this matter have made statements to the police and none of them mentioned my name except the taxi driver who claims that a large sum of money was missing in his taxi, in fact the lady in question stated that she was not beaten by anyone and that nobody assaulted the taxi driver. This is a case of blackmail, and I have resolved not to succumb to any blackmail for money. And to all those that are involved in this conspiracy to bring me down, I want to remind you that God Almighty himself got me to where I am today in my music career and you will not succeed in your devilish efforts to bring me down.

Adedeji David Adeleke, aka Davido".

The Spy says - Why do I have this funny feeling that this is going to be one very lonnnnnnnnng story because if my memory serves me right, the taxi driver in question did present some bloody injuries when the story broke... Watch this space.
