BOUGIE-BOUGIE:(@missligan) KEMILOLA LIGAN TELL US THOSE STUFF SHE WOULD ONLY TELL HER BESTIE

   Kemilola Ayopo Ligan is definitely not your average girl even though she has the charm and looks of “The Girl Next door”. She’s the kind of girl that knows the deal. Just in her mid twenties, Kemi runs her own makeover outfit which boasts of an enviable clientele. Her dashing beauty and her charming personality are the first things you would notice about Kemi and the last things you’d want to forget. Out of the thousands of men out there that want a piece of her time, and her customers that want her attention and expertise we fixed an appointment where she tells us those things about herself only her bestie should know.

   I bet you wouldn’t believe it if I told you Kemi has fallen down the stairs at the cinemas right after seeing a movie with her boyfriend. She recounts the experience with a smile on her face, “You know what the crowd is like after a movie, yeah? Everyone kept saying sorry as they walked pass. It is my most embarrassing moment so far.”  You could picture that she hurt herself badly. Not to worry Kemi has a history of being a tomboy and that was a long time ago. She has always been the tough type and she owes it to her childhood which according to her was a bit challenging. “We were not rich but my Mum made sure we had all we needed.” She said casting her mind back to her days as a little girl. Indeed it was tough she had battled illness as a little girl.  Now, she is grown, sexy and lets us into her heart as she answered our reporter.

THE BOMB: Describe your typical week day?

KEMI:  As a makeup artist a typical workday begins with me talking to clients and determining what type of artistic look is desired for the production, researching looks for shoots, sketching possible makeup looks and communicating with others in the styling team to make sure that the planned look is coherent. This means that the particular makeup look must match with the hairstyle and wardrobe, especially if the photo shoot has a particular theme or if the music video is a period piece. Most of my day is spent applying makeup in a timely manner, retouching between takes and making sure that the makeup looks good throughout the day.

THE BOMB: Six things you can’t do without

KEMI: Six things I can’t do without will be my God, he is always number one in everything I do, but if u mean material things then my blackberry, my earpiece (because I listen to music a lot), Pen, sugarless gum, hand lotion, Sun glasses

THE BOMB: Are you in a relationship and what’s your take on relationships in general?

KEMI: I am currently in a relationship. Relationships are the cornerstones of one’s life. Good ones may lift you to the highest order and bad ones will ruin you, so one should nurture it with a lot of care.

If you are living in the right time and right place then a relationship can be a very happy addition to your life. Relationship is WORK so I believe that if you are going to take the time to commit, it had better be with somebody who is worth your time. When a relationship gets to a certain point of consistent negativity it becomes more detrimental to both parties than beneficial.

All in all, depending on your age, relationships are important because they teach you to live not just for yourself but for another person, they teach you compromise and forgiveness.

THE BOMB: Who is your crush?

KEMI: Hayden Christensen

THE BOMB: If you had to eat one last meal what will that will be?

KEMI: Last meal would be, Filet Mignon.

THE BOMB:  things a Guy must not do when with you?

KEMI:  He shouldn’t pick his nose, chew his nails or brag about his wealth or what not. A guy should not be weak.

THE BOMB: Where can we bump into you on a weekend?

KEMI: if am not working that weekend because weekends are mainly tight with weddings, you will catch me on the beach.

THE BOMB: Top 5 songs on your playlist

KEMI: Gerald Levert (I was made to love you), Etta James (All I could do was cry), Ryan Leslie (Gibberish), Etta James (trust in me),                 Uncle Sam (I don’t ever want to see you again).

THE BOMB:  What alcoholic drink do you consider your favorite?

KEMI: White wine (Chardonnay to be precise)

THE BOMB: what can’t you be caught dead in?

KEMI: Jeggins

THE BOMB: if you had a date where would the venue be?

KEMI: On a boat/yatch. Bliss!

THE BOMB: what movie have you enjoyed lately and why so?

KEMI: “The Magnificent Marigold Hotel” is a great movie. It stars some great actors and it has a heart-warming storyline.  Interesting scenery from India and lots of British humor! THE BOMB

                                          PHENOM

   The reign of the knight house General has just begun and we can feel the heat already. If he probably had to write this article himself his first word will be raaaaaaaaaaaaaarr! Phenom has been called many names by Hip-Hop pundits; the future of rap, Deep, energetic, hardcore. He delivers his lyrics with so much authority and aggression, two qualities that are his trademark and have seen him through to the major league. THE BOMB managed to get Phenom out of the booth for a chit chat. This is all we found out from the decorated five star rap general.

   Phenom hooked up with us at our studio a little bit behind schedule. We can understand that, he had just drop the hit single “Murda dem” and just called it a rap on the ‘Shuku shuku bam bam’ video. He walked into our studio and lit it up with his humor. In case you didn’t know Phenom could be such a prankster.

 THE BOMB: We gather that you have been busy lately, what exactly are you up to at the moment?

PHENOM: Basically I’m working on my mixtape “B.R.A”(you all should anticipate), doing some shows here and there. Most times I’m at the studio, it’s so bad I’ve not been home in a while

 

  THE BOMB: What is it like being a Knight House General?

PHENOM: It’s the bomb, the best feeling in the world. It’s basically something I came up with and everyone just started calling me that.

THE BOMB: .When you are not doing music what do you do?

 PHENOM: I hangout with my friends Willybang (knight house finest), Fikky, C F, Yomi (shout out to inexcess) Thardey fweshniz or I’m with my mom.

THE BOMB: Tell us about your new single “Murda dem”

PHENOM: “ Murda dem” came at that moment in my life I was basically angry with a lot going on at that time so all I did was pour my heart out on a the beat (shout out to legendury beatz )

THE BOMB: Can you describe the process of making your music?

PHENOM: Depends on what type of song it is, sometimes I compose with the beat sometimes I don’t

THE BOMB: what collaborations do you look forward to?

PHENOM: It’s got to be Wande Coal..I’d love to work with him

 

THE BOMB: Tell us about your relationship with Nokia?

 PHENOM: Basically I’m a Nokia ambassador

 

THE BOMB: Describe your most memorable encounter with a fan?

PHENOM: I’ve got lots of experiences though, but there was this campus tour show in Abuja where I was performing and this fan came on stage and grabbed my jeans, honestly I didn’t know what her aim was but she was grabbing me and all until a bouncer came to my rescue. After the show I realized she was a fan that was crazy about my music, till date we still talk.

 

THE BOMB: Any embarrassing moments?

PHENOM: Yeah I remember this time 3 years ago when Mackiller and I performed to just two people in the audience. It cracks me up thinking about it now though.

 

THE BOMB: Most romantic thing you have done lately?

PHENOM: I took a female fan out to see a movie

 

THE BOMB: Besides Music what other things are you good at?

PHENOM: A lot of things but I think Basketball will top the list. I play really good

 

THE BOMB: what up and coming act are you feeling at the moment?

PHENOM: Tesh Carter that’s my baby

 

THE BOMB: Where do you see yourself in ten years?

PHENOM: By then I would have conquered the world so much that I’ll be making songs for aliens

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                FIVE THINGS ABOUT PHENOM

 

 

 

·       He is talkative around people his familiar with

·       He has a good sense of humor and loves practical jokes

·       He plays basketball pretty good

·       The Knight House General is very strong headed

·       He used to be a law student

  Its 2012, it’s the future and music is different. The game has changed. Today, six digit deals are cut every hour, links are uploaded every minute and stardom could just be seconds away. It is at this time that Flowssick and Phenom walked in on the game.

 You can tell they have made it to the major league.  Flowssick earned himself a nomination in the next rated category at this year’s HEADIES while Phenom recently wrapped up the video for his hit single “SHUKU SHUKU BAM BAM”. The both of them speak to THE BOMB on their newly found fame, packed tours, the mouth watering deals and personal stuff.

                                            FLOWSSICK

  Flowssick hit the single charts with “lowkey”, got the dance fall jumping and earned himself a fairly large fan base. Flowssick has moved on to greater things since the single “Lowkey” introduced him. Now he’s got the Hennessey artistry club tour and the Headies nominations to add to his portfolio. We hooked up with the six feet three inches hunk to have a chat.

  Lately Flowssick has been busy; a lot of business comes with the fame. First he has a number of tours on his schedule and then there is the daunting task of compiling his first album. You could sense from his demeanor when he visited our studio that he has been working overtime. In his world he is either performing at shows, meeting with journalist having magazine cover photo shoots , recording another hit and if he’s weekend is not taken up already he would take a break which entails hanging around pretty ladies. His nomination in the next rated category at the HEADIES is proof that hardwork pays. Talking about his nomination, Flowssick says he is honoured by the nomination and then reminisces about how he only got tickets to the awards the past year. That’s a huge leap for one year! Flowssick understands how much of a miracle that is. He gives kudos to his label, his management team, and his unwavering fans for pulling such a stunt in just a year.

   The last year has been a rollercoaster ride for the R’n’B artiste. He acknowledges that he has had ups and downs and there have been “the moments”. Like that moment in Dubai sometime last year where he performed to fans in the United Arab Emirates. He calls the moment one of his best moments touring. In his words it was overwhelming for him, knowing that he had such a fan base in far away Dubai. That’s a huge feat especially for a 19 year old.

  On a lighter note we asked Flowssick what the gender of his music would be if he had to choose. ‘Female’, he said with a sheepish smile. His reason is simply because he makes music for the ladies, quite tricky if you’d ask me. That possibly explains his huge female following and maybe his charming looks especially the new physique, his killer dress sense and the warm stare of his hazel eyes

  As soon as he got comfy he lets us into little details of his private life. He told of six things he can’t do without; music, food, girls, family, video games and money. Believe it he gave it to us in that order. Flowssick seems to have a huge dose of love for humble beginnings. He’s got his eyes peeled for up and coming artistes. He confesses of his admiration for underground rapper ‘Dirty A’. ‘Dirty A’ is A on his list of favorite unsigned acts. Flowssick enjoy’s music from a listeners perspective too. He says if he had to spend a week on a desert he’d take jeremiah’s album and Drake’s ‘Take Care’. If it had to be movies he’d take ‘Scarface’ and Mario Puzo’s ‘Godfather’ trilogy.

   Flowssick has got tons of music to give. Just like his fans we anticipate his debut album, an album critics agree will do well on the charts and if done right give other artistes a run for their money. Flowssick has his eye on the game and a dream to pursue. He looks forward to recording over beats produced by T.Y mix and Kanye west and with Drake dropping a verse on one of his singles. Meanwhile he is enjoying every bit of life in the music major league.

#FINALLYFAMOUS

James Egbuson (@Jegbuson) is now Timini Egbuson and he gets better.

   James Egbuson is the right man for any job. He is one of the reasons you should fear a psychology graduate. He is blunt and controversial. He is generous with answers and the only thing he will never give is a fuck.

  Lately James has been considering a name change. The popular university of Lagos alumni just had a brainwave and figured his native name Timini was a lot more unique than James. Could that be enough reason for a name change or is James up to some new stunt?  We are fond of James! He should have a better reason for us to call him Timini. We can’t tell! James is so unpredictable you can call him the weather. We manage to ransack his mind and find a lot of interesting details.

  James has been quite busy in recent times. He has a lot on his plate to deal with. Since he graduated James has been doing voice over, radio jingles, managing his sister’s business, casted in fourteen episodes for Tinsel the hit T.V series, on air personality at Rhythm 93.7 and now he’d be teaching social studies to secondary school kids. You would agree that James is having the time of his life.

   James might not have a lot of fans but that will be because of how controversial he can get. A couple of people consider him controversial. They say he has a reputation for being blunt. If there is anything he is horrible at, that will be sugar-coating. One piece of information about James that he never really needs to sugar-coat is the fact that he is brother to famous nollywood actress Dakore Egbuson Akande. We won’t forget in a hurry his lovely speech at the Dynamix award after receiving the award for best club boy some years back. It is obvious he loves his sister, maybe a little more than most of us, and that is because his sister is also his best friend.

   We needed to know about his relationship status and James was quite evasive about it. We agree he is too cool to keep a relationship. At least he admits that Beverly Naya is his crush. We are hoping she gets to see this! Besides all of this we are curious, how romantic can James Egbuson be? James says his friends would agree he is a sucker for love. He states that he is not cut out for tough love and breaking hearts.

   The brawny twenty-something year old is a hundred and one percent blunt and very bad at sugar coating. How real can an individual get?  He is so real he doesn’t believe he can have an embarrassing moment. He is having fun when he is with family or hanging out with friends. James admits he has got emotional attachments to his blackberry and internet connection——two things he can’t do without.

    If he had his way he’d have Starch and Banger soup (a Bayelsan local delicacy) all the time. He is particular about his mother preparing his meals. If it is not coming from his Mum, he just might not like it. His all time favourite movie is “paid in full” he says you’ll need to see the movie to understand why he loves it. James can’t tolerate some things. Ladies note that when you around James you shouldn’t pick your nose and don’t lie to other guys over the phone. They are huge turn offs for James and you don’t want to see James turned off.

    Trust me there is a lot of Junk in the past and James’ past at the University of Lagos is a huge junk yard. Just like those famous college boys in movies, James got the best girls, got in and out of trouble, and had the most fun. We’d agree that James came, saw and rocked hard! We can’t forget that James Egbuson is a onetime Inexcess chief and his tenure was quite memorable. Under his leadership a lot were accomplished so much so that when people talk of his tenure they are tempted to call it the golden age of Inexcess. His members might have their own opinions though. All of that is in the past now. In the present James is a graduate who loves his job because it pays well enough to have that vacation to the Zambia he has been planning with his lover. Of all the lofty contributions people make to make the world a better place James says smelling good is his major contribution. “The world would be a better place if everyone smelt good”. He enthused. What in heaven’s name happened to serious contributions like supporting the green revolution or Breast cancer awareness?

  Is James’ style debatable? We can’t say but we know he has pulled off some wicked style stunt in his favorite Ralph Lauren collection. His wardrobe is not his most prized possession, he says his mouth is. You’d agree he is a smooth talker if you know him, and if you haven’t met Timini and you bumped into him tomorrow you’d find out he has got a gifted mouth in less than ten minutes. 

  Whether it is James or Timini we are certain Egbuson will be around for a long time. In the meantime catch him on Tinsel and Tune in to Rhythm 93.7. Remember, he is James Egbuson but he’ll love it if you just call him TIMINI.  

 “A day in the twisted and illustrious mind of @Peju_A and we find out he could be romantic (or maybe not) plus more.”

 

 

   Peju Adewusi is in no way strikingly handsome, those people who know him would agree. However this 24 year old figured this out all by himself and found a perfect way to make up for his looks. Peju might not be the hot looking famous guy but he has got enough controversy to catch your attention. We would think he has gotten this far by sheer controversy and maybe hard work. We spoke to him about how many people consider him controversial especially about how he took the twitter take-out where his picture was photoshopped with some funny looking cartoon. He did not deny being controversial rather he blamed all of his controversies on his free spirit and how outspoken he could be.

   Speaking of being outspoken, Peju needs a lot of that in his day to day hustle. He currently manages ADEY, a new artiste he is particularly optimistic about, and events.  Also if you have been in the Lagos Nightlife long enough you would remember Peju as one of the people, including Demilade Roberts and Asa Asika, who created the nightlife franchise “WE OWN THE NIGHT”.  Today he boasts of a huge clientele which as it appears is made up of mostly friends. It’s either this guy knows how to make his friends clients or he is good at making his clients friends. At least we know of his affiliations with H.K.N and popular photographer Demilade Roberts. Switching from night life to the music industry certainly has its perks. For Peju he says the music industry is really kicking off as the international doors have been opened. He sees the Nigerian music industry competing with the American & European music industry in the next couple of years. We all have the same opinion.

  As much as we hate to admit it, it appears not much is happening to Peju when he is not working. A typical work day for Peju is typical: (In his words) Wake up, say a little prayer, hustle, have fun, Sleep and back to square one. Yeah, his typical day is like Tuface’s hit single “Nfene Ibaga” opening lines! On a weekend Peju says you’d find him in his room! It gets more bizarre when he states that his happiest moments is when he is sleeping and tells us he has never had an embarrassing moment. To check if this guy was human we asked to know about his relationship status. Its official, Peju is single! “I’m very much single, just got out of a serious relationship so I can concentrate on work well. We can more or less say I’m dating ADEY”, He tells us. To get Peju out of this work spell and into a relationship again we are guessing the lady in question has to have a lot in common with his crush TOLU TOOLZ. (Trust this, that’s a big crush!). Besides all of this we are curious, how romantic can Peju Adewusi be? Peju says the last romantic thing he did was to get his ex-girlfriend a cake that said “I LIKE IT WHEN YOU EAT ME”. You be the judge on that.  

    He might not have that adventurous life, but notwithstanding Peju is kind of an interesting personality. He cracks us up when he admits that proving people wrong interests him. He gave us a list of five things he can’t do without: God, Family, Adey, Friends and Music. (Should we be concerned that we have Adey in this list?). About things he hates, Peju says and we quote “I hate the fact that people never want to be associated with you till they see you’re the in-thing”. To balance this, we asked about his likes on his playlist. Five songs Peju currently has on repeat are; crazy white boy- zoma, kendrick lamar-swimming pools, Adey ft Iyanya & threat king – tambourine, davido – video and Adey - shun sir . If Peju is getting high right now he is sipping on some hennessy and if he had his way he’d have Amala and Okra soup for dinner tonight. Those are his favorites. By the way, whenever you see Peju wearing Crocs please do let us know. He told us he’d never be caught dead in them.
