    Timaya explains re-union with K-Solo

    Popular Niger Delta singer, Timaya, has explained through his manager, Prince Nnamdi Orlu Uzor, why he invited his ex-producer, K-Solo, to work with him on a song. “First things first, we never had any issues with K-Solo; we only needed to try various options in business, and now we discovered it has been a long time that music lovers felt the vibes of Timaya and K-Solo, which is why we invited him to come over and create good music for our fans to enjoy,” he said.

    Timaya’s debut and second albums were produced by K-Solo, but for some time now, both artistes have not been working together.

    With Timaya, you could never run out of drama, especially knowing how much the singer likes to talk about money. A couple of days ago, he was on Instagram, advising his fans on what leads to poverty and what paves way for wealth.

    According to the singer, his fans should abstain from complaining because, to him, such breeds poverty, while a heart of gratitude brings wealth. He wrote: “Complain is poverty while gratitude is riches….”

  • K-SOLO acquires new studio equipment

    K.SOLO seems to have overcome his matrimonial problem and is back to facing his professional career squarely.

    The artiste, who recently stepped out in an SUV (LR3), is said to have also changed all major hard wares in his studio to Apple products, just to boast the quality of his production.

    Speaking to The Nation, the artiste said, “It is God who has been providing for us but we are doing our best. I decided to change my equipments because change is the only thing that is constant and if one fails to move with the time, he or she will surely be left behind.”

    He also spoke about the success of dance hall sensation, Patoranking and rising female rapper, Splash who have both stint with his record label, the K.Solo Incorporated Music KIM.

    He said: “It is a very beautiful thing to be part of their success stories. From the very beginning, their talents were never in doubt. I knew it was just a matter of time before Nigerians gave them a listening ear, and I thank God, it has eventually happened.”

    If K.Solo was sure of their talents why did he let them go? “Their decision to leave where purely business base, not that we had any misunderstanding, I can tell you for free that I am very cool and proud of both of them,” he concluded.

  • I almost left Nigeria in the heat of controversy with my ex-wife —K.Solo

    I almost left Nigeria in the heat of controversy with my ex-wife —K.Solo

    IT is no longer news that ace producer Solomon Oyeniyi, popularly known as K. Solo, acquired an SUV jeep valued at 7.5 million naira few days after an Ikeja High court granted him permission to file for divorce of his less-than-one-year union with estranged wife, Kikelomo, but what many might not know is that he “never paid a dime for the car.”

    K. Solo who was embroiled in controversy for the larger part of the year 2012 with allegation of battery and assault from Kikelomo, who alleged that problem started when she refused to buy a range rover jeep for him and also change details of her asset to the producer’s name. K. Solo denied the allegations and the couple later came out to describe the palaver as publicity stunt at the time.

    “I never did all I was accused of and I felt the pain. I don’t want to talk about it again, I have moved on and I wish people will appreciate the K.Solo they knew before the controversy.” It was reported by many bloggers that he bought the SUV jeep to celebrate his purported divorce from Kikelomo, which the artiste denied, “I never did that and I never told anybody I bought the car to celebrate a divorce. Come on, how can I do that? It is so unfortunate that everything I do is now associated with her issue. I am more than a decade in this industry and that was my first controversy. I never bought the car, somebody bought it for me.

    During the heat of the controversy, someone who deals in cars called me from Cotonou and asked if is it true that Kikelomo bought me a Range Rover. I said no, that she alleged that I asked her to buy me one. And the person said I believe you. You are bigger than that, you can afford yourself a new car but if you don’t mind, can you come to Cotonou for a car? And that is how I got the car. I drove to Cotonou and should have brought it to Nigeria a day before my birthday on December 24 but I had to do the documentation. Sadly, it came in 2013 and not far from when I got the court permission for a divorce. Instead of people to ask me, they went viral that I bought it to celebrate my divorce. It is painful when people judge you from afar.” He continued, “I just hope that one day, Nigerians will celebrate their stars for the right reasons and not for the wrong reasons.

    I am not the only one that has been hit with controversies; a whole lot was said about Tuface and then D’banj and many others but it is sad that people take delight more in our private lives than what we do. I am not saying we are saints but we are not devils, though we make mistakes. I pity people that make their private lives a round table discussion because it is not the ideal thing. We all have issues that we are all facing in our respective homes but we just have to look for a way to handle it without controversy.” He lamented his loss during the controversy, “it was difficult and my family advised me to leave the country at a point but I cried to my God to come to my rescue and He never fails even when men do. It was more worrisome that some artistes and celebrities I helped to their feet even when they had issues in the past left me and turned me to a laughing stock like ‘we have left him o’. I was sad but I thank God for my foundation. Though the controversy brought about storms and cracks that threatened me but the foundation stays and that is my God.”
