Tiwa Savage’s Manager Finally Speaks On Their Rumoured Wedding
Though industry insiders maintain both individuals got married a few weeks back after a long romance, Balogun claims this is not true.
According to him: "The story is not true, these bloggers just publish what they like without doing their findings."
When pressed further, the soft-spoken manager, insisted that it wasn't true.
"I am right now in Benin having an album listening party of my other artiste, D'Prince. I have heard all the rumours, whenever I hear them I just laugh to myself. Who was there? Was the person at the wedding?" he asked rhetorically.
Tiwa Savage was not available for comments but we understand she is currently in the studio in Lagos. She had before now described the romance stories as mere rumours.
Obviously the stunning and talented artist is still available in the spinster market. Read More

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, said that Abiodun was arrested on 1 January while attempting to board an Air France flight to Italy at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, southwest Nigeria.
"We have made the first arrest in the new year. The suspect, a guitarist by name Fatoke Abiodun was found with 1.575kg of cocaine. The drug was discovered in the false bottom of his luggage during the outward screening of passengers to Italy," said ,NDLEA Commander the Lagos Airport, Mr Hamza Umar
The agency said the 62-year old grandfather with four wives and many children, is helping narcotic investigators handling the case.
"Fatoke has owned up to the alleged crime blaming his involvement on financial hardship," said the agency's spokesperson, Mitchell Ofoyeju.
NDLEA quoted Fatoke as saying: "I played for King Sunny Ade for 30 years before I was unceremoniously retired in 2007. I was unprepared and without severance money I saw the bitter side of life."
He said his drug trafficking attempt is his first as he did it out of frustration.
"Because at my age I could not provide for my family. I am ashamed of myself," he was quoted as saying.
NDLEA Chairman, Ahmadu Giade described the involvement of Fatoke in drug trafficking as sad and disappointing.
"It is sad and disappointing for a grandfather to be involved in drug trafficking. This is a bad legacy to his children.
This is a good start for the agency in the year and a sign that the days ahead will be tough for drug traffickers. The agency will continue to handle every case in accordance with the NDLEA Act," Giade was quoted as saying.
The suspect will be charged to court for unlawful exportation and possession of narcotics, NDLEA said. Read More

Iyanya Denies Being Wanted By The Police
Reigning Afro hip hop act, Iyanya is allegedly wanted by the Nigerian Police, in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, in connection with the case of fraud brought against him by popular show organiser, Opa Williams.
Already, Iyanya's manager, Ubi-Franklin Ekpong is said to be currently under arrest at Mile 3 Police Division,in the Garden city.
Opa Williams,the producer of Nigeria's foremost comedy show, 'Nite of a Thousand Laughs' reported Iyanya to the police for allegedly collecting N1.7 million from him being payment for the singer's performance at 'Nite of a Thousand Laughs' shows which held in Benin and Port Harcourt few days ago. Unfortunately, the Kukere crooner never showed up at any of the shows.
According to our sources, what infuriated Williams was the fact that Iyanya actually arrived Port Harcourt ahead of the show on that fateful day(Monday)only for him to disappear minutes later with his cell phones permanently switched off.
"He has caused me a lot of embarrassment, as people who paid to come and watch him went home disappointed. For 17 years, we have been organizing Nite of A Thousand Laughs and we have built a large followership, I will not allow anybody to destroy the credibility we have as people who deliver on their promises. That' why we are going to pursue this case (legally) to a logical conclusion and ensure this is the last time Iyanya would do this to anybody." Williams stated.
Adding, he said ,"When Iyanya failed to show up at Benin edition, which held on December 26, he called to apologise, promising however to make it up with the Port-Harcourt and Bonny shows. But again, he did not keep to his word."
Showtime gathered that Iyanya shunned Opa Williams' event, but performed earlier at another show which held the same day in Port-Harcourt and featured Timaya.
Confirming the buzz, Williams' media Company, Media Image Managers, said, "We are aware of the issue between Opa Williams and hip hop act, Iyanya. The parties are at the moment at Mile 3 Police Division in Port Harcourt. Our client has informed us he is seeking redress in court. However, there are moves to resolve the matter amicably. It is sad that Iyanya would behave in such an unprofessional manner, but then, the police are handling the matter well."
