Eedris Appologizes to 50 Cent, Kora Awards 2007

After performing at the Kora Awards 2007, Eedris Abdulkareem apologizes to 50 Cent for their previous encounter.

I can’t say I ever expected to see these two on stage together again. 50 was probably just as surprised by the apology as I was watching it. Needless to say, I’m glad we can finally close the book on this one.

If you’re not up to speed on the issue, here is Eedris’ side of the story:

Olu Maintain - Yahoozee

In case you’ve missed it, Olu’s Yahoozee is the one of the songs given incessant rotation on the naija air waves. The video hit the web several weeks ago and with it came rave commentary. I had high expectations given some of Olu’s previous work as part of Maintain, but after watching I wondered what all the noise was about. It seemed like just another dancefloor track with very little else going on. The video could be a parody of a bad rap video. It reminded me of the brilliant and very funny video for “What They Do” by The Roots.

And if one video wasn’t enough, the remix version takes it to another level, complete with a blonde woman giving a Hummer a sponge bath! Wow.
