Banky W - Jasi (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Empire Mates Entertainment is proud to present the official video for Banky W's "Jasi". The song was produced by MasterKraft, and features additional background vocals by EME starlet Niyola. The hilarious clip was shot in Lagos, Nigeria and London.
"Jasi" highlights Banky W's playfulness AND versatility. Very few artistes worldwide are able to change styles as effortlessly as Mr W can... and here we see him temporarily set aside his "King of Afro-R&B" crown to pull off this Afrobeats/Afropop club banger, and it works quite well. The video also shows his acting skills as Banky plays more than one role, in the same scene, in the vein of an Eddie Murphy or Tyler Perry.

Shot by Uber Director Sesan, the video is quite hilarious and features cameos from MasterKraft, and Lynxxx... and we hope you have as much fun watching it, as we did filming it. Here's to Africa's most versatile Artist, Banky W.

Kanye's call for boycott of LV fails miserably. Fashion brand sells out

It seems like quite a number of people don't like Kanye and they spent their money to prove it. A few days after he called for a boycott of giant fashion brand Louis Vuitton, the exact opposite of what he was hoping for happened. Louis Vuittion sold out and a new record was even set for online sales.
After Kanye West told people to not buy any Louis Vuitton until after January the company took action and sent an e-mail to their best customers who responded in a huge way. The company says that sales surged this week and when final numbers came in that a new record was set for online sales and that customers responded to the attack by Kanye by coming to the brand for the first time and there were many small transactions by people who wanted to show their support for anything that is anti-Kanye."

During that radio interview Kanye said "They think I don't realize my power." Guess he's not as influential as he thinks he is.

Rapper Wale explains why he's never been to Nigeria until now


In a radio chat with Toolz on Beatfm yesterday, Wale said the reason he's never been to Nigeria until now was because his parents, who are both from Ondo state, were so poor they couldn't afford a bring him home.
"I grew up poor. We lived in DC, in the projects. Getting a ticket to Nigeria on $20, 000 income yearly, to my family that wasn't really... you know...like I was a 15 year old with a decent job, I'm not going to save up to go to Nigeria. That wasn't what I was thinking when I was that age. And then I was in college and the money tight right then. And then I get this record deal when I dropped out of school, you're running around so much you don't even have time to see your own parents"

373-Year Old Book Of Psalms Sells For £9 Million


This yellowing book of psalms which dates back to 1640 has sold-out for a record £9million.
The Bay Psalm Book believed to be one among the primary titles written within the United States of America was one among 2 in the hands of Boston’s Old South Church, that voted to sell it to get funds. 

‘This is big for us,’ said the Rev metropolis Taylor, senior minister of the church. ‘It is life-changing for the ministries we can do.’ John Hames Audubon’s Birds Of America held the previous record for a printed book when it sold for about £7million in 2010. The book was bought over the phone by United States businessman and phiulanthropist David Rubenstein, who plans to lend it to libraries across the US.
