here are some of the cool pictures of Nigerian singer
All over the world, artistes are generally regarded as eccentric people, except for a few of them who are predictable, based on their individual lifestyles and quality of work. It is also generally believed that only a few of them can manage stardom with humility.
In fact, majority of them are usually perceived by the quality of their works while some of them easily become controversial either through their lyrics or messages.
With these factors, artistes tend to exhibit certain behavioral patterns that can either make or mar their career as singers or role models.
Just recently, the music industry was awash with the controversial contract involving popular telecom giant, Globacom and hip hop singer, Oladapo Oyebanji better known as D' banj.
It would be recalled that the management of Glo deemed it fit to select, promote and empower a number of popular artistes as its worthy ambassadors. Of all the selected stars including Sammy Okposo, Ego of the Lagbaja fame, Madam Kofo, Jimi Johnson, among others, D'banj stood out of the lot and was more recognized. This for him, translated into more cash and shows. He was paid an upfront sum that ran into several millions of naira, offered a land cruiser jeep, among other endorsements.
After performing in a number of shows out of a total of 18 earlier slated for him by Globacom, D'banj who is the rave of the moment unexpectedly demanded an increment of his remuneration from N2million per show to N4million naira, a condition which Globacom could not meet and for which it nearly cancelled the contract with D'banj.
But for his remorseful mien and the understanding of the Globacom boss, D'banj could have been dropped from the list but Globacom promptly replaced him (for the mega shows) with his close rival in the industry, P-Square and barred him from performing in any of Glo shows until further notice. D'banj nevertheless remains one of the company's ambassadors.
Among scores of popular acts in the country, D'banj had earned great fame and fortune since coming into limelight a couple of years back. Although he started courting controversy when he was invited by Zain to perform free of charge at Nelson Mandela's birthday in London, the Ogun State born artiste refused and insisted on being paid.
This refusal then forced Zain to replace him with another singer, 9ice, who not only performed but also returned home with cash and material gifts.
But D'banj is not the only artiste who has been so mired in controversy following certain demands. Popular Afro-pop act, Tuface Idibia who, after the success of h
