Laolu Akins Produced The Best Soundtracks Of My Life – Cobhams Asuquo

On the back of the release of his critically acclaimed debut album For You, last month’s sold-out album launch concert, and the recent launch of his first ever nationwide tour, award-winning Nigerian producer and musician Cobhams Asuquo has just unveiled a brand new live performance video of fan-favourite track ‘Angels All Around’ from his For You album.

Filmed during the first concert of his nationwide tour at the The Pistis Conference Centre in Lagos, on March 26, the ‘Angels All Around’ live performance sees Cobhams Asuquo sing beautifully about ‘Angels’, who he describes as “good people who just help you move forward. They’ve been placed around you to just be a blessing in your life”, backed by lush ballad-esque piano arrangements and soaring vocal harmonies.

Shot and directed by documentary filmmaker Joel ‘Kachi Benson, the ‘Angels All Around’ live video is the first of many visual collaborations between Benson and Cobhams Asuquo, which will be released through the period of Asuquo’s ‘For You’ nationwide tour. Alongside his work with Cobhams Asuquo, Joel Benson has also collaborated with the likes of Kelechi Amadi Obi, TY Bello, George Osodi, ID Cabasa, and Kenny Ogungbe, among others.

Revered as one of the best musical minds to come out of Africa, veteran producer and musician Cobhams Asuquo has worked with Asa, Bono (U2), Tuface, Angelique Kidjo, Waje and Bez among others, in a decorated career that has spanned over a decade. His accolades include three Headies Awards, two Future Awards, and a prestigious ‘Producer of the Decade’ award at the Nigerian Music Awards, just to mention a few.

The on-going ‘For You’ nationwide tour has already seen Cobhams Asuquo headline several venues across Lagos in the past Easter weekend, with the tour confirmed for scheduled concerts across Benin, Uyo, Calabar, Port Harcourt, and the nation’s capital Abuja, as well as international tour stops in United Kingdom and the United States, over the next seven months.

The ‘For You’ nationwide tour will then conclude its 9-month jaunt, with a finale concert in Lagos in December, that is not to be missed. Fans can follow Cobhams on Instagram for live updates on tour dates, venues, and more information about Cobhams Asuquo’s ‘For You’ tour.

In the clip, Phyna wore a revealing black jumpsuit paired with a bold burgundy afro wig. Her outfit quickly sparked debate among her followers.

Some users criticised her choice of attire, arguing that it was inappropriate for the restaurant’s standards. Others defended the establishment’s decision, stating that enforcing dress codes is their right.

“If you wear a hookers uniform, be prepared to be treated like one,” wrote a user.

“The owner has every right to set rules for their business premises,” said another.

“So another hotel the other day that brought something for the lady to cover her self….Great one…If all these restaurants will start doing this, it will definitely be a big step to correcting this error in the society,” someone else wrote.

The post generated mixed reactions, highlighting contrasting views on personal style and public expectations. The incident fuelled a broader conversation about dress norms and the balance between individual expression and venue policies.

Recall that Phyna dropped her surname and publicly disowned her family on her X page recently. She said that she was tossed around relatives’ homes as a child, adding that she should’ve suspected foul play all along.

Falz Speaks About His Worst Date Experience | fab.ng

Nigerian rapper Falz recently shared a humorous yet awkward story from one of his early dating experiences. During an interview on the Cocktails and Takeaways podcast with British media personality Madame Joyce, Falz recounted a surprising request from his date.

She asked him to order takeout for her family members back home. He explained the situation with his signature humour, highlighting how unexpected and awkward the moment was.

He explained,

“I haven’t had too many date experiences but the worst probably was this girl asking to buy stuff for her family at home, so I wasn’t sure how to feel. This was in Nigeria and I didn’t know whether to feel bad or not. She wanted me to buy takeaway for them, like to buy for each person… So different portions for the members of the family, takeaway for them. I didn’t even know whether to feel bad, because it was like, I came here on a date with you, not the whole family.”

Falz acknowledged that the request felt unusual but considered the possibility that her family genuinely needed the food. “I then sat and thought, What if they’re hungry? We were at a proper restaurant.”

“I feel like there are things that, when it comes to dates, there are things that the person would say directly or indirectly that would make you know whether you want to continue talking to them or not,” he added.

The rapper dismissed the idea that men immediately know if a woman is marriage material on the first date. He elaborated, suggesting that relationships often require time and experience to fully understand a partner’s potential.

He said, “To this day, there is nobody I can say that this is someone I want to marry. I haven’t gotten to that stage yet so I think it’d take a while.”

Denzel Washington Opens Up About 15-Year Battle With Alcohol

Denzel Washington On 15-Year Battle with Alcohol | fab.ng

Hollywood icon Denzel Washington recently disclosed his past struggles with alcohol during an interview with Esquire.

The two-time Academy Award winner candidly shared a fifteen-year pattern of wine consumption. What began as a casual habit gradually escalated into a regular occurrence.

He began, “Wine is very tricky. It’s very slow. It ain’t like, boom, all of a sudden,” he elaborated, recalling how a wine cellar he constructed in 1999 within his home became a place for self-indulgence.

The actor added,

“And part of it was we built this big house in 1999 with a ten-thousand-bottle wine cellar, and I learned to drink the best. So I’m gonna drink my ’61s and my ’82s and whatever we had. Wine was my thing, and now I was popping $4,000 bottles just because that’s what was left. And then later in those years I’d call Gil Turner’s Fine Wines & Spirits on Sunset Boulevard and say, Send me two bottles, the best of this or that.”

Washington also delved into his past, acknowledging his youthful experimentation with drugs. However, he emphasized that he never developed an addiction to substances such as heroin or cocaine.

He continued,

“I’m sure at first it was easy because I was younger. Two months off and let’s go. But drinking was a fifteen-year pattern. And truth be told, it didn’t start in ’99. It started earlier.”

A decade ago, as Washington neared his 60th birthday, a turning point arrived. He made the resolute decision to abstain from alcohol completely.

“I’ve done a lot of damage to the body. We’ll see. I’ve been clean. Be ten years this December. I stopped at sixty and I haven’t had a thimble’s worth since. Things are opening up for me now—like being seventy. It’s real. And it’s okay. This is the last chapter—if I get another thirty, what do I want to do? My mother made it to ninety-seven,” said Washington.
