Just when people were filled with the thought that there would be a reunion on stage between May D and P Square during the last Calabar Festival, it’s obvious that, that won’t be happening anytime soon. 

The reason is because the song, Do Me, I Do You, played by the singing duo, Paul and Peter Okoye played itself out when P Square was said to have totally blocked every avenue to make May D perform at the ceremony.

May D was billed to perform alongside P Square and Akon at the Calabar festival. His name was on the list. And true to their words, May D arrived at Calabar airport on the same flight with P Square. However, people in the know started smelling trouble when they saw May D alone and didn't walk with them. They rode in separate cars and he was lodged in a separate hotel from them.

So, the show started and J Martins had replaced May D and people were asking questions about his whereabouts.

When our source sought to find out why May D was conspicuously missing since he came all the way to Calabar for the show and not perform, he said, "he wasn’t paid his balance and decided to pull out".

However, another reliable source told us that, "when MayD was put on the list of performing artistes, the organizers didn’t know he wasn’t with Square Records anymore. P Square on getting to Calabar, intimated the organizers on the latest development and so they had to drop him at the last minute

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Saturday declared that it has apprehended a veteran guitarist who played for one of the most popular afro juju musicians, King Sunny Ade, in the country with cocaine. The agency said that the suspect who played guitar for music star, King Sunny Ade, for three decades was caught on January 1 at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos while attempting to board an Air France flight to Italy.

Operatives of NDLEA detected two parcels of cocaine industrially hidden in the false bottom of the suspect’s luggage. While confirming the arrest, NDLEA Commander the Lagos Airport, Mr. Hamza Umar, gave the name of the suspect as Fatoke Abiodun. “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,” Hamza said. 

He is quoted to have said “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…Because at my age I could not provide for my family. I am ashamed of myself.”

The Okoye brothers, Peter and Paul, were allegedly detained at a Kampala five-star hotel over unpaid bills after a recent performance. The two had just performed at a concert dubbed Chop my Money before the ugly incident occurred.

According to the promoter, who was in charge of the event, the group was paid for the performance, accommodation and transport according to the signed contract. However, their personal bills went beyond the agreed limit, hence the stand off.

“We will not set our feet back in Uganda,” the brothers are quoted to have vowed
