Paul Play’s Ex-Group Mate Tony Tonero Dies In Car Accident

Tony Tonero, the former Oxygen singer who appeared prominently on Paul IK Dairo’s late nineties’ hit ‘Mo Sorire’, is dead. The singer’s friend and former bandmate Slam tells NET he has just been informed, by another groupmate Swave that their friend and longtime partner has pased on. Tonero reportedly died in an auto accident, yesterday in Lagos. ‘Our friend Swave just called me now, that Tony is dead. Paul was the closest to him; he’s the one that confirmed it. The last time I saw him was at a friend’s wedding’ last November’, Slam tells NET. Unlike Slam and Paul, Tony Tonero did not enjoy the benefit of a fruitful music carer – his failed solo project failed to kick off, despite many tries. He frequently worked with Paul Play as a back-up act. Before Tonero’s death, all four friends were considering working on a reunion album for their rested group Oxygen. The late act will be mostly remembered for his part on Paul IK Dairo’s remake of ‘Mo Sorire’ (originally composed and performed b

I’m giving all my attention that I usually give to Christina to the baby, all the flowers I usually give Christina, I’m giving them to the baby. “It’s a girl, Violet will be her first name,” he revealed. “I’m not telling you the middle name, you gon’ get me in trouble.” Still, with all the excitement a new couple experiences with their first child, Dream said it’s business as usual in the Nash household. “I’ve been working like a regular person works in America. They have jobs whether someone’s pregnant or not,” he laughed.

Ailing president returns

The Presidential convoy on the way from Abuja airport Three months after leaving Nigeria to receive medical treatment for a heart condition, President Umaru Yar’Adua shocked the nation by returning home in the early hours of today. A patient at the King Faisal hospital in Jeddah for 92 days, Mr. Yar’Adua was finally removed from his bed on Tuesday and taken aboard an Abuja bound flight at about 2100 Saudi time. Two planes, one of them an air ambulance, landed in the presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja within ten minutes of each other and it is believed that the president was on board the first one which landed at 0145 hours. A presidential convoy, including the Ford intensive care ambulance, was at the airport waiting to meet him. It is doubtful if the president has recovered from his illness and sources at the airport were unable to confirm what kind of condition he was in when he landed.

Weird MC Gets Third Female Manager

Weird MC has moved on to her third female manager in five years. The hiphop veteran, who’s still heavy on demand, despite not having had an album in almost four years, has entered into a management deal with Femi Kuti’s ex-wife Funke Kuti. NET sources say the pair have been working together since last year. It’s the first time Funke Kuti is experimenting with talent management; even though she worked closely with her husband in the nineties, touring the world and brokering concert and endorsement deals. For Weird, it’s a fresh deal with yet another female manager. She worked with Joice Ize-Iyamu around 2006 and 2007, before they parted ways. After breaking up with Ize-Iyamu, she moved to One Management, where she worked directly with former KUSH girl Emem Ema who was in charge of talent management at the company. There’s a guy in the mix though : Lori Tosan – the designer who managed her briefly in 2006. Weird’s reps confirm she’s ‘working with’ Funke Kuti; but insist ’she has no speci

Chris Brown Headed To Court Today To Determine If He’s Been Working Hard Enough With His Probation

Chris Brown is heading back to court today to see if the community service he has performed meets the terms of his probation. He will face an L.A. judge today — a judge who wants to know if Brown got his hands dirty enough to satisfy his probation on that felony assault conviction in the Rihanna case. Sources say Judge Patricia Schnegg has been skeptical about the type of community service Brown has been performing in Virginia. She wants to make sure it’s true hard labor. Brown and his lawyer, Mark Geragos, will go before Judge Schnegg at 2 PM PT today … and sources say they’re armed with a list showing Chris got plenty dirty performing his community service — one of Chris’ specialties … cleaning brush off Virginia highways.

Kel And Clarence Peters: It’s All Over?

Rapper Kel does not plan to renew her contract with Clarence Peters’ Capital Hill records. The 24 year-old debutant, who’s mostly known for her hit single ‘waa wa alright’, has allegedly told the label she wants out; with the label in return giving her departure conditions. It’s nearing seven years since the rapper’s first single (‘roc da mic’, 2003) and sources say she and her manager Osagie Osarenkhoe are hoping to ‘take things to a whole new level’. Kel was signed to gospel label ‘Testify music’ before pitching her tent with Clarence, when the director launched his record label. Their contract was originally scheduled to end in 2011. But with the relationship now deteriorating rapidly, 2011 looks like a thousand years away. Capital Hill is one of Nigeria’s many mushroom music labels; and although the label is growing fast, sources close to Kel say she is dissatisfied with the way the label is handling her career, and is desperately searching for the exit doors. Meanwhile, it is unli

At Last, A Keyboard With A LOL Button

Sick of typing the same web slang over and over again? That's NP -- the Fast Finger keyboard has your abbreviation needs covered. Unveiled at the 2010 Toy Fair show in New York and picked up by Kotaku, the versatile new peripheral turns the function keys at the top of the board into one-button common internet acronyms like LOL, BRB, FYI and TTYL. Quite handy for heavy chatters, not to mention social network addicts, IMO. The Fast Finger packs a few other neat features, like the ability to switch between the standard QWERTY layout and alphabetical order, making it a nice option for new typists. No word yet on the keyboard's overall quality (looks a bit flimsy from here), but at about $25 bucks, it won't break the bank. Smart pricing FTW! Sound cool? Check out the official site ASAP. CYA!
