Indeginous rapper, Remilekun Khaled Safaru Aka Reminisce made it a night to remember for Music lovers in Lagos Mainland on Saturday, February 25, 2017 at the Ikeja City Mall, Lagos where the maiden edition of The Street Concert by Reminisce was staged.

the show kicked off with the emerging acts who rocked the stage with their personal hit tracks, while some looked jittery, others were dimensional and took over the stage like they own it.
Then later came the man of the moment Reminisce in his first outing of the night which turned out awful due to poor sound quality. Even though Reminisce carried on like there’s nothing wrong, but the crowd obviously weren’t feeling the headlining act’s performance as there was no cheering sound as just some awkward silence from the audience was observed.

Then there was the launching of the new ‘Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Plus’ limited edition which was coordinated by the ‘Alaga ibile’ himself together with some officials of the smartphone brand in which he is an ambassador of.

Other artists such as talented rapper Seriki who came out dripping in some Shiny Gold chains followed Eva Alordiah who gave a renowned performances of her songs ‘Deaf’ and ‘Kanayo’, before going into a swift inspiring mode where she took out time to lift and motivate the obviously surging crowd by telling them not to ever give up on their dreams no matter what life brings before them.

Emerging acts such as the New school Fuji Trap and Hip-Hop act Terry Apala who gave a fair performance of his mini hit ‘Champagne showers’ and then we have Davido’s DMW new recruit, Yonda who performed his debut song ‘Las Vegas’ to the delight of those who can reckon with the song. His performance was followed by that of some decent acts such as Aquila records Baseone and Airboy, Capital Hill’s Mz Kiss, Ms. Chief, Chocolate City’s Ckay and Olawale of Project Fame and Comic act ‘Woliarole’ who all came out in turns to do what they know how to do best.

And on the wheels of steel was Reminisce’s Les Roses Rogue’s DJ Instinct’ ,City FM’s DJ Gunzee, YBNL’s DJ Enimoney, Chocolate City’s DJ Lambo, DJ Spinall who all took turns to keep the crowd in a frenzy mood all night long.

Reminisce came through with his second appearance of the night and was later joined by Seriki and Ola Dips for the performance of their hit street cypher ‘Feego’ and then came YBNL henchman, Olamide Baddosneh whose presence almost erupted the whole place with screams, cheers and shouts of his ever loyal street fans.

Reminisce left the stage for Olamide to take over after they’ve performed Reminisce’s ‘Local Rapper’ together. Baddo then later performed his hit records back to back from old to the new ones which of course includes the latest ‘Pepper dem Gang’ which brought his newly signed act ‘Davolee’ to the stage and had the fans cheering and vibing good to his songs. Davolee later performed his ‘Festival bar’ joint.

Other acts like Falz, Niniola, Dapo Tuburna, Harrysong, Big Sheff, Lord of Ajasa, Dremo, Mayorkun, Orezi , CDQ, Small Doctor, Koker, Wale Turner, Sexy Steel, Reekado Banks, Ycee, Viktoh and Oladips among others also came and showed love on the night.

OdumoduBlvck recently praised Mavin Records founder Don Jazzy in an interview with Beats FM.

The rapper discussed his latest project, “Nothing Changed,” a collaborative effort with the Anti-World Gangsters crew. The album features Don Jazzy on the track “Asampete.”

OdumoduBlvck revealed that after recording “Asampete,” he felt the song would benefit from Don Jazzy’s contribution. When approached, Don Jazzy readily agreed to the request.

During their meeting, Don Jazzy not only added his vocals to the song but also surprised OdumoduBlvck with a generous gift of $10,000.

Impressively, Don Jazzy declined any royalties for his contribution to the track.

“When I went to his house to get his vocals, he gave me $10,000 and even my friend was asking me why he gave me such a huge amount of money,” he narrated in the interview.

OdumoduBlvck further praised Don Jazzy, describing him as the most original personality in the Nigerian music industry and a true icon.

“There’s nobody more original than Don Jazzy…The way the younger artists look up to Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid, and Olamide today is how they used to look up to Don Jazzy”.

OdumoduBlvck’s praise for Don Jazzy’s generosity and influence on the Nigerian music industry echoes sentiments expressed by numerous artists whose careers have been shaped by the Mavin Records boss.

Four-time Grammy nominee Davido has credited Don Jazzy and D’banj’s flamboyant lifestyle for inspiring him to relocate to Nigeria and pursue his musical aspirations.

Don Jazzy’s philanthropic endeavours also continue to make headlines. Recently, he donated a substantial sum of 100 million naira to Very Dark Man’s charity.

Actress Sola Sobowale commented simply, “Fact.”

Other followers shared their thoughts, with one writing, “Anyone who is always seeking validation from the public whenever he or she does something, just know say that person no clear 💯.”

“Caring what people think about you is natural. Letting it drive your behaviours and keep you from doing things you believe in is usually a sign of,” said another person.

Another Instagram user shed more light on the issue, saying,

“codependency conditioning. The core belief in codependency is: what people think of me defines what I think of me. My mother always said, “Your opinion of me is none of my business.” It can get real exhausting perceiving yourself through the eyes of others. No matter how pure your intention, you cannot control how people receive you. Give others the freedom to perceive you as they wish, for it’s merely a reflection of themselves and not your reality. Never mind who sees you. Do you see you?”

“I don’t like people who wanna be liked by everyone, just do you and move on,”

“Thisss ,it’s okay to be a bad person in another persons story ,Only God is PERFECT 👍”

Elozonam Reflects On How “Japa” Makes It Hard For Him To Make Friends

Elozonam on how ‘japa’ makes it hard for him to make friends | fab.ng

Former BBNaija star and content creator Elozonam revealed how Nigeria’s “japa” syndrome—where individuals emigrate in search of better opportunities abroad—has impacted his personal relationships, especially with friends and family.

During a conversation on the Uncoloured Podcast, hosted by fellow BBNaija alum Venita, Elozonam candidly shared how his twin brother’s relocation has significantly altered their once-close dynamic.

“For my twin brother and I, being twins, we naturally used to argue a lot,” Elozonam said. “But after he left, there was nothing to fight about. Now I have to consciously reach out to him because there are days or weeks when I don’t hear from him. It’s frustrating, but I understand that everyone has to do what they need to survive and build a better life.”

Elozonam reflected on how the japa wave has reshaped his social circle. He traced the trend back to 2018 when his former boss moved abroad with his family.

“That seemed to open the floodgates,” he said. “Since then, people have been leaving one after the other. It’s exhausting. You become hesitant to form new friendships because you don’t know if they’ll just up and leave tomorrow.”

He expressed deep frustration about Nigeria’s deteriorating economy and infrastructure. He acknowledged that unemployment, insecurity, and poor living conditions push many Nigerians to seek better opportunities in other countries.

“Between 2018 and 2024, I’ve seen so many people leave. Nigeria isn’t improving, and everyone wants a better future. It’s hard to blame them, but it’s also hard for those of us left behind.”

Watch the interview below.

“…you’re now too wary of making new friends. Nigeria is not getting any better. We all know this”
