Femi Kuti Is An Inspiration To Alicia Keys
American artist Alicia Keys took to her twitter page on March 19th to tweet her Love for Femi Kuti’s Album ‘No Place For My Dream’. She described the album as being inspirational and used the hashtag #Musicthatfeedsyou.
In an era where music lovers in Nigeria are complaining of lack of ‘real’ music from our artists these days, it is good to see that the older artists are putting our music on the world map in a positive light. Its great to have internationl artists APPRECIATE Nigerian music and not just do a ‘collabo’ with our artist that doesn’t pass the shores of Africa.
Having Alicia Keys tweet about Femi’s Album and not just a single shows how much of an inspiration his music his. Does that mean they will work together soon? Well, I hope so!.
Kanye West ‘Weds’ Kim Kardashian on Vogue Cover
In what can be described as the most shocking VOGUE cover ever, controversial rapper Kanye West and his Fiancee Kim Kardashian have their ‘wedding’ on the cover.
The cover has Kanye west in a black suit holding on to his fiancee who is wearing somewhat of a wedding gown?. The Cover which has drawn a lot of negative reactions from loyal Vogue readers and celebrities, makes Kanye the first rapper to be on the Cover of VOGUE magazine.
VOGUE editor Anna Wintour has defended her choice of the cover stating that Kanye didn’t beg her to have Kim Kardashian on the cover after all the media backlash of her caving in to Kanye’s Demands.
However, in my opinion, the fact that she has to defend the cover seems more like she is trying to convince herself than the public.
