Tundeednut slams Wizkid, others, as he hails Rihanna for acknowledging Nigerian kid dancers

A post shared by Instablog9ja (@instablog9ja) on Mar 13, 2018 at 9:59pm PDT

Rihanna had shared a video of the dance group dancing to Wizkid and DJ Spinall's 'Nowo' in celebration of her crossing two billion worldwide streams on Apple Music.

The post unsurprisingly went viral, giving the kids and the song a major push.

In appreciation, the kids did a post thanking Rihanna for the unintentional promotion.


awww my Lil squad.....I love YOU guys! I speak on behalf of the entire social media when I say this... you really brought a pure joy to our spirits just by seeing how happy you are when you dance! You personally made my day! Keep up the great work kids! #emo#77iP## (see previous post)

"Thank you Rihanna. We love you", the kids wrote on a cardboard.

The record-breaking singer again acknowledged the kids in another post.

"awww my Lil squad.....I love YOU guys! I speak on behalf of the entire social media when I say this... you really brought a pure joy to our spirits just by seeing how happy you are when you dance! You personally made my day! Keep up the great work kids! ❤️ (see previous post)", Rihanna wrote.


when I found out that I was the first female artist to cross 2 billion worldwide streams on Apple Music! God is too lit!!!!

Ednut, however, said Nigerian celebrities would ignore such gesture despite the fact that they do not have a quarter of the followers and fanbase Rihanna possesses.

John Shearer/Getty Images Lady Gaga and Elton John arrive at the 2016 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Graydon Carter at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on Feb. 28, 2016 in Beverly Hills, Calif. There are two big star-studded Elton John tribute albums on the way next month.  Restoration , which was spearheaded by John’s longtime songwriting partner Bernie Taupin, finds contemporary country singers offering their own take on his pop classics. And the other,  Revamp , was organized by Elton John himself, who reached out to various pop and rock stars to see what they could do with his songs. We’ve heard one song from each project so far -- Chris Stapleton’s gravel-voiced version of “I Want Love” and Q-Tip and Demi Lovato’s slightly funkier “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” -- and now we’re getting a Lady Gaga rendition of John’s 1970 hit “Your Song.” Gaga and Jo...

The 90th Academy Awards went off without a hitch. One year after a headline-making best picture mix-up, Hollywood’s biggest names returned to the Dolby Theatre to cheer on  The Shape of Water, Dunkirk, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri  and all of the other nominated films. But not every moment made it into the telecast (and, boy, was it a long one). Luckily,  Us Weekly  was there to catch all of the fun, behind-the-scenes action that wasn’t shown on TV. 3:07 p.m. PT:  Allison Williams  enters the lobby and looks really confused. She’s asking for directions from attendants and seems lost while talking to someone on the phone. 3:15: Williams starts talking to  Tom Holland . He tells her, “You were so good in [ Get Out ]” and she responds, “Thank you, thank you.” A few more people join them as they huddle in a small circle by the staircase. Williams explains what it’s like being at the Oscars, telling Holland, “The experience that you have, it’s ...

Nicki Minaj Was Reportedly With Meek Mill When His Judge Asked Him To Remake A Boyz II Men Song

Written by Fairchick Date

The rapper opened up in a rare interview from prison. Meek Mill was unexpectedly sentenced last year to 2-4 years in prison for violating the terms of his probation, related to drug and weapons charges from 2008. The harsh sentencing has been publicly criticized and the #FreeMeekMill movement has been underway ever since. As Meek currently awaits his April appeal, the rapper opened up to Rolling Stone in his first interview from prison, revealing new accounts that point to corruption in his case–especially with his judge Genece E. Brinkley. One of Meek's attorneys, Joe Tacopina, vouched in interviews back in November that the sentencing is a result of a personal bias Brinkley has for the Philly MC. He also revealed that Brinkley told Meek that he should do a remake of Boyz II Men's 1994 hit "On Bended Knee" as a "tribute to her" but that Meek refused. In the new interview, Meek confirms the February 2016 incident and said that Nic...

He rather sees it as a time one relaxes as a holiday period and nothing else.Its not Nick Cannon to say, it is his son "Golden" calling him, out saying " You know we don't partake in this false pagan stuffs and all that" The true fact is actually unclear, but it should later if Nick Cannon the ceremony or the whole family do or perhaps he doesn't and his daughter opposes.
