Bubbles Magazine returns to its roots
this month with dancehall/raga artiste, Oritsefemi. The Ajegunle born
crooner has had a smashing return to the streets after a hiatus. Coming out
with his Mercies of the Lord debut in 2006, he gave voice to the emerging
dancehall genre that was spreading like wild fire. His grimy roots were something he never hid
and was evident in his delivery and his ‘message’. A few other hits later
he
vanished from the airwave, just for him to make a powerful return with his hit
single “Double Wahala” this
year.
From being a
ghetto boy, Oritsefemi became a crowd favourite overnight. He speaks
exclusively to Bubbles Magazine about his hustle, his music and his
plans for the future now that he’s a megastar. Also in this issue, Bubbles
lends its voice to the #BringBackOurGirls campaign that has united the
world in grief and anger. As we citizens cannot all go up in arms and chase
after the kidnappers, we only can join the shout that rose from Nigerian social
media users till the world took notice and paid attention.
Bubbles magazine collaborates with ace photographer,
Shola Animashaun to document our collective call for right to be done
for these little girls that are being held by insurgents. He photographs dozens
of Nigerian celebrities and regular folks holding up the now ubiquitous sign,
#BringBackOurGirls. In his words, ‘It is
wrong not to do anything just because you can do a little’. It is our hope
and fervent prayer that the girls would be rescued speedily.
With features on Daddy Showkey, 2Chainz and
several other artistes as well as fashion articles, tech and urban
entertainment, the new edition of Bubbles promises to be a master piece as
usual. Bubbles Magazine is out this week and can be found at Glendora
Bookshops, Patabah Bookstores, Ozone Cinemas and at newsstands nationwide
