Lady Gaga Remembers Whitney Houston With Heartfelt Tribute

                      

Even though Lady Gaga must be super-psyched to perform at this year’s Grammy Awards, she’s also reminded of a tragedy that shook the music world around this time three years ago.

Gaga took to Instagram on Thursday (January 29) to share a heartfelt tribute to Whitney Houston, who died on February 11, 2012, one day before the 54th annual Grammy Awards.

“Every year around the Grammys I think about Whitney,” Gaga captioned the pic. “Her legendary voice, the sparkle of her eyes in the spotlight, a genuine compassionate spirit. I miss her all the time and wonder why she’s gone. A good time to remember to treat women and all artists with care. She gave us so much, what did we give her?”

This isn’t the first time Gaga has praised the late singer. At the 2011 Grammys, Gaga thankedHouston while accepting her award for Best Pop Vocal Album for The Fame Monster.

“I need to say thank you tonight to Whitney Houston,” Gaga said. “I wanted to thank Whitney because when I wrote ‘Born This Way,’ I imagined she was singing it because I wasn’t secure enough in myself to imagine I was a superstar. So, Whitney, I imagined you were singing ‘Born This Way’ when I wrote it. Thank you.”

She later explained the shout-out by saying, “I can’t tell you how much I listened to her growing up. She was my vocal idol for so many years. I thought of her voice when I wrote [‘Born This Way’] because she’s just such an incredible singer. I sort of planned to thank her a long time ago, at some point. I said, ‘If I ever win a Grammy I’m gonna thank Whitney’…so I did.”

Weird MC rocks burgundy suit  with a classy studio look

The rapper posted these pictures on Instagram, wearing a burgundy suit with wide lapel on a white shirt and a feminine turban.... 

She’s known for wearing baggy pants, combats, t-shirts, face caps and what have you. But for this recent appearance, she nailed it in a form that can pass for a corporate look.... 

The suit looks perfectly tailored and of course, she came off stylish as ever. We think the weird one should keep up this appearance although without her head tie, you’d probably not think she is a woman....

Wizkid continues tradition of throwing money at events... 

Starboy boss, Wizkid was one of the celebrities present at the Terry G-headlined Industry Night session which held on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at Spice Route, Victoria Island Lagos. 

At the event, the ‘Ojuelegba singer arrived a bit late in his newly-acquired Bentley and surely one to know how to make a scene, he paved the way for himself on his way in by throwing wads of Naira into the crowd gathered at the gate of the venue. 

In recent times, Wizkid has imbibed the attitude of not just flaunting his wealth on social media but also of throwing cash at crowds at events. This was not the first time the ‘Jaiye Jaiye‘ singer would invoke a cash rain at a gig; he also did the same at the 2013 Felabration where he threw N100k in N500 notes into the crowd. 

He repeated the action at the 2014 edition as well as at the December 2014 grand finale of Hennessy Artistry....

PHOTOS: K-Solo and Timaya reunite after 4 years... 

The long-standing rift between two figures on the Nigerian music scene has just been resolved. 

Dancehall star, Timaya and music producer, K-solo had not seen eye-to-eye in the last 4 years due to a hitherto lingering beef. 

At the very beginning, Timaya’s music career kicked off with K –Solo who produced his monster hit single, ‘Dem Mama’. K-solo went on to produce the bulk of Timaya’s debut album, True Story and his contributions to his second and third albums, Gift and Grace and De Rebirth was quite significant as well before both stars went their separate ways. In separate interviews with different media outlets, they both vowed never to work with each other again but on Friday, January 9, 2015, a mutual friend reconciled them and sources say they are already recording a new song together. In an exclusive chat with NET, the mutual friend responsible for their reconciliation, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: ‘The funny thing is that they never fought, they just had a misunderstanding instigated by people in the industry who were not pleased with their combined force. Now, their re-union is simply God’s plan and I guess they’ve both missed each other.’ Shortly after the re-union, Timaya shared a photo of himself and K-solo with the caption: ‘Had a swell time with ma day one nigga, long-time producer, the man that made my first banging jams ever. K-SOLO…GOD bless u bro @obaksolo.’
