“My Colleagues Want To Run Me Down” – Comedian Klint Da Drunk Speaks On The Controversies Currently Surrounding His Career

According to reports, Two things appear to be currently happening to the career of comedian, Afamefuna Igwemba, a.k.a  Klint da Drunk, At a time when many comedians are flaunting jet-set lifestyles and living large, the funny man appears somewhat quiet. Little wonder, some of his fans felt if he had silently left the scene.

Secondly, a recent scandal involving the comedian and an Abuja-based church that had contracted him to perform in one of its programmes became an issue after he was accused of failing to show up.

He sat down with Punch Nigeria to address the issues…see excerpts;

In the face of it all, Klint remains calm and unfazed. He however says, “Everything that was written about the incident is false and yes there was a show that was held that I didn’t show up at all.”

The entertainer, admits he was invited to perform at a church programme by one-time Nollywood actor-turned pastor, Larry Koldsweat. He says it was scheduled to take place on March 23, 2014.

“Upon confirmation that the event was to take place on April 23, I put it down in my calendar. My initial arrangement was to arrive in Abuja a day before if I had no prior engagement. But I was later called upon by another actor,  Diewait Ikpechukwu, for a golfers event holding in Owerri, Imo State, on March 22.

“I booked my flight to Owerri for March 22, Owerri to Abuja on the morning of March 23 and then Abuja back to Lagos on the 24. But the organisers texted me to come down to Abuja on the 22nd  promising to pay for my flight and other exigencies. I told them I would try my best,” he explains.

Although he was unable to meet up with the event in Abuja on the newly proposed date, Klint says,  he has since reached a resolution with the organisers.

“Contrary to reports making the rounds that I was paid N250, 000, I was paid N200,000,  and it was an upfront fee . All comedians can attest that churches don’t pay that much but we do it for God,  not church. I kept quiet because it is not moral to fight a church.”

The IMT Enugu State, Fine and Applied Arts graduate says he is not pleased with some remarks alleged to have been made by his fellow comedians.

“Now they say I would have gone far in my career if not for my love for computer games. It is this same set of comedians that went around telling people that I live in Abuja so that I will not be getting Lagos shows.

 “My colleagues want to run me down,  let them feel free. It is because they are afraid of me; they feel that if they run me down I won’t survive it. I am a gadget lover,  that is the truth. Everyone knows that whenever I walk into a gadget shop the people there want me to educate them about some of their gadgets. Isn’t it better that I am a sucker for video games than a sucker for smoking igbo marijuana?” he asks.

Noting that his continued relevance remains a threat to most of his colleagues, Klint says he has chosen to focus on moving his career to the next level.

On his relationship with other comedians, he explains that he is open minded and a friend to all. But he adds, “They have cliques but that does not bother me because it doesn’t affect my career. God still chases away flies for a tailless cow. So, I am not complaining.

“There are times when things are slow and other  times when they are good. It is like that for all the so-called cliques because some times they  don’t even see shows. I love and respect God to the extent that I put my career in His hands and He has not disappointed me.”

After his musical prowess came to the fore when he sang the hook on Mr Raw’s hit track, Obodo , some years back, the comedian says he still intends to explore many options music-wise.

“I am proud to say I was part of the pioneers singing in native languages. I will do something musical soon but I don’t want to be compared to  all musicians. Though my material will be related to music I am not coming to compete with Davido and Wizkid,’ he says laughing.

On the future of comedy in Nigeria, the soft-spoken comedian has just one desire. “I wish we had more original comedians. Just the way you have live band musicians who play the songs better than the  original artistes themselves we also have some comedians who tell other people’s jokes better than the owners themselves. “

“ I Am Not Mentally Ready For Marriage” — Choc City’s Ice Prince Opens Up On Life, Relationship, Career & More [READ]

Chocolate City’s Star Artiste, Panshak Zamani, a.k.a  Ice Prince who hit the limelight with his banger  ‘Oleku’ after which he released his debut album, ‘Everybody Loves Ice Prince.’ His second album, ‘Fire of Zamani’ has also been applauded by music lovers and critics alike, in the music industry.

The rapper had a chat with Vanguard Newspaper recently and opens up on life, relationship, career and more. See excerpts below:

Life before fame ?

Actually, I have seen life in different forms because I wasn’t born poor and I wasn’t born rich. I lost my Dad in 1999 and then things became different and my mum also passed away in 2011. So life  has not been easy. I could remember back then, I was sent out of school because of school fees but today I thank God for who I am and where I am.

Has music always been your dream ?

Yes, but when I was young I have always wanted to be a doctor, a lawyer and a soldier. But music for me, started when I went to secondary school in the late 90s. I started performing at social events, at school and I would mimic 2Pac and B.I.G songs, and that’s when I fell in love with rap. A few years later, I joined the choir in my church  and groomed myself as a musician.

Why are you still single ?

I don’t think I am planning to get married now because am still young, I’m in my youth  and moreover, I am just 27 years old. Maybe later in my late thirties I can start planing to get married  or not.

But what are your reasons ?

It’s because I still have a long way to go before thinking of settling down. I can’t say because of what I have, that I am okay to get  married,  no. I don’t think I am mentally ready for marriage.  I think before one could get married, one needs to attain certain level of understanding and awareness. I don’t think I have those qualities just yet.

But are you in any serious relationship, and any plan of  settling down with your baby mama ?

Yeah , but I wouldn’t want to talk about my girlfriend and about the mother of my baby. She is good and we are not talking about getting married because I’m not ready yet.

How true is the rumour that Unity Bank has cancelled your endorsement deal  ?

That is not true, they never cancelled the deal, even Unity Bank put out a press statement to that effect and  presently they are still working on it. What you saw online then was mere  rumour.

How would you describe a typical day in the life of Ice Prince?

A typical day for Ice Prince would be to wake up, shower and, if I’m not performing that day, I  head straight up to the studio. I have a studio in my house. I go to the studio and listen to music that I made the day before and I just try to create new stuff. After that, I reply to my emails, get on Twitter to talk to a few girls and then return to the studio. If I have a visitor, I go and chill with them and then I jump straight back to the studio.

Is 60 The New 40? Oprah Winfrey Looks Stunning Like A Supermodel On The Cover of O Magazine [PHOTOS]

Proving that age ain’t nothin’ but a number, 60-year-old Oprah Winfrey looks stunning on the May 2014 issue of O Magazine, which carries the theme “How To Love The Skin You’re In” this month.  For the cover, she posed in a royal purple Vicky Tiel of Carms Couture Designs dress, while proving that being beautiful and sexy doesn’t expire just because you get older.

Inside, Oprah encourages readers to embrace getting older, while revealing what she has found to be the most difficult part about aging:

I’m not one to get hung up on numbers but if you want to say 60 is the new 40, I’ll take that. You can be and do whatever you want, thanks to exercise and hair color. Hair color. The greatest invention of all time for women. Thank you.

On The Best and Worst Part About Growing Older

The absolute best part about aging is being free and able to do whatever you want. There’s nothing better than that. The hardest part is really recognizing the time that you’ve wasted and the things that you worried about that really didn’t matter. You regret the time that was wasted.’

Last year, after turning 59, she dished this message to women who fear getting older and lie about their age:

“People get all screwed up and afraid of aging when, in fact, every year should be a celebration. You should be celebrating every year that you are given. I don’t understand women lying about their age and everybody dreading getting older. It means you’re still here! To deny your age is to deny your life. I stand here 59 years old and so happy to claim every single part of the journey of those 59 years.”

On tuesday night, after returning from Texas where he cheered on the University of Kentucky in the NCAA Finals, Drake ‘Drizzy’ was spotted popping bottles and partying it up with Rihanna at the Supper Club.  

The night was a special occasion, as Riri’s bestie, Melissa Forde was celebrating her birthday, and celebs like Christina Milian, Terrence J, J. Cole, Future, Mike WiLL Made It and Busta Rhymes came out to show their support.

Meanwhile, earlier in the week, Rihanna was the subject of pregnancy rumours, but judging from these photos, those abs are not to be confused for a baby bump.

Beauty Queen, Munachi Abii & Stylist, Ifan Ifeanyi Michael Covers April Edition Of House of Maliq Magazine [PHOTOS]

House of Maliq Magazine’s April edition features the ex-beauty queen-turned rap artiste, Munachi Abii and celebrity creative stylist, Ifan Micheal.

Editors Notes:  This issue takes us into “The luxe World of Munachi Abii” who look flawless in a white Suchille jumpsuit, styled with a fed ful to top off her “diva” look. And, for those of us whose attention wasn’t diverted elsewhere, it was her killer well styled signature blond hair that really set our pulses racing. Just like a goddess, her look was polished off and styled with classy dark make-up.

Meanwhile on the reverse cover, Ifan Ifeanyi Michael who styled himself, alongside Munachi’s, look carefree and dapper in a luxury black suit by Mcmeka to give us the “mob boss” look.

Muna’s beauty queen background  couldn’t be the bane to her music success as she came out unmasked while bursting forth with potentials into a field thronged with inconsistency and controversy, and for Ifan 2014 seems  to be the big year. With an immense growth in his craft. What drives ifan is an ultimate aim to achieving mastery in balance of what’s pleasing to the audience. Ifan ifeanyi Micheal joins the list of trailblazers!
