EVA ALORDIAH DROPPED BY TRYBE RECORDS

Rapper, Eva Alordiah and popular record label Trybe Recordshave parted ways. The management of Trybe Records released a statement earlier announcing termination of her contract with them. Read below;

Trybe Records and Eva Alordiah have agreed to terminate her recording contract effective immediately. Trybe Records’ vision is to discover and nurture the talents of our artists while operating with purpose, valuing relationships with our partners within the industry, and being persistent in creating and releasing quality music. Unfortunately, over the past 5 months Eva’s vision has not aligned with ours and thus, both parties have agreed to separate.
We wish Eva the best in her future endeavors and plan on continuing towards our goal of creating quality music for Nigeria and beyond‘.

Inside sources said that Eva has been a handful to manage and/or coordinate with, since signing her in June this year, demanding for more than what she was offered at all times and that the label was basically ‘tired of her antics’.  ‘Eva needs to throw away her attitude. She thinks bigger than herself and it’s killing her‘, a friend of hers said.

Eva came into limelight while working with rapper M.I on his debut album, and was considered a replacement for Kel at Capital Hill records but the deal wasn’t pursued as she was considered a ‘high risk’ decision to make.  Eva is one of the promising upcoming female acts around now; featuring on Psquare and Bez‘s albums and performing at The Headies.

ENCOMIUM EXPOSES RUKE AMATA'S WIFE MULTIPLE AFFAIRS

This has got to be the sex scandal of the year. The story you are about to read was written by Stella Dimoko Korkus for Encomium magazine. It contains BB messages between Ruke Amata's wife and a South South governor and some other men proving the steamy affair going on between her and these men.

In the chats, Gilda confessed to a lot of shocking things including running down her husband of eight years. There is also a portion on the chat where she chatted with the Governor. The Governor who runs a South South state is a hopeless lover boy who referred to Gilda as MMP (missing my princess). Gilda is also said to have a 17year-old son she didn’t declare when she met and married Ruke and he has just found out. The person who downloaded Gilda’s messages sent the chats copying Ruke Amata, two governors, actress Omoni Oboli, a politician and some others involved. The e-mail has been circulated and there is fire on the mountain. Gilda who shuttles Nigeria and the United Kingdom is currently in Nigeria as you read this. May His will be done! We tried for about 48 hours before going to press to get Gilda’s side of the story, but her phone was switched off.

Excerpts from the raunchy BB messages after the cut...

PHD HOLDER LIVED AND DIED IN REFUSE DUMP

Dr. Thorpe
Dr. Olawunmi Thorpe, an Ogun State indigene, died a homeless man. You won't believe this, he was a Bachelor and Master’s degrees holder in Mass Communication and a PhD in English Language. To passersby and residents, who saw Thorpe everyday in the rubbish dump beside the rail line at Fagba Bus Stop in Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Area of Lagos State, he was a deranged man who spoke impeccable English. He died about 5pm Wednesday last week.

Before his death, two ‘good Samaritans’, Mr. Larry Happiday and Mr. Dele Olawale, who had interest in Thorpe’s case before he died, took his body to ensure it did not rot on the same rubbish dump he used as home. Happiday said he first met the deceased about a year ago, “I began noticing him around Fagba about a year ago because I live around Fagba. One day in March, he approached me and I thought he was going to ask for money. But he did not.
