Kennis Music & 2Face Don Mess Up Big Time!

It’s a little over a week until the release of the movie Phat Girlz that features 2Face Idibia’s hit song, African Queen. The trailers have hit the airwaves and for the first time the international community is hearing African Queen. At very least you’d expect Nigeria’s top selling musician and winner of MTVs African Musician of the Year to have his website up and running… or at very least to have his production company have some kind of online presence and contact information, but instead, what do we find?

1. The once flaky official 2face site is now down entirely. It looks like they never bothered to renew the domain name registration & now it’s been taken over by another mindless parked domain pedling ads for your clicks.
http://www.idibia2face.com/
2. The Kennis Music’s web presence on the other hand has no content. There is a little animation, but no usable content - not a contact email, not an address or even a phone number:
http://www.kennismusic.net/

These guys have messed up big time - this is a major opportunity that’s being absolutely squandered. I have people emailing me from all around the world asking for more information, where to buy the album and so on:

Would anyone know the contact for the music producers for “You are my Afircan Queen” by 2face. It is my opinion that they are not doing a good job promoting this song especially with the release of the movie “Phat Girlz. They should be capitalizing on it. - H (Canada)

It’s interesting that this is the situation despite the constant rhetoric about breaking into the international arena. Sure on one hand they’ve done that by arranging film deal, but are falling flat on their faces by missing out on the timing of Phat Girlz.

These are some of the problems:

1. No Proper (any?) international distribution - instead we have numerous online mom & pops selling cd-r & pirate copies.

2. Limited representation on international radio stations despite the overwhelming interest. The man is MTVs African Musician of the Year for goodness sakes?!

3. No contact information - who handles their Public Relations?!

4. No online presence, but even worse having expired websites!

It’s not like we’re talking rocket science here. We’re not discussing things that take significant amounts of money either - we’re talking the basics… the VERY basics - and in that, they’ve failed.

The onus is on Kennis Music to do a better job than this. If they not doing it for the sake of the artist(s), at least do it for their own pockets. This behavior will only lead to continued missed opportunities.

    tuface abandoned his domain for a free myspace page. thats his latest online shit at present.

  2. bobo Says:

    Will, thanks for the info. I agree, myspace is quite popular with a certain crowd. It’s a nice thing to have, but it’s certainly no replacement for a personal website. Furthermore, you cannot afford to “abandon” your official site without notice! That address has been the primary point of contact for many people, including the media for years. If you do decide you no longer want to run an official site, at least provide a pointer from the official site to the myspace site, otherwise you leave everyone out in the cold.

    I think everyone’s aware that in this day and age, you cannot afford to not have a website, and along the same line, you cannot afford to let your website lapse. The fact that it has been dropped and taken over points to incompetence rather than a concerted plan to conduct activities from myspace.

    And for the record, if 2Face is indeed behind any of these myspace pages (there are 2 “2Face” users listed as from NG):

    2Face on MySpace #1
    2Face on MySpace #2

    They’re equally useless as they contains zero information nor even have any friends!

  3. Don Says:

    It’s shameful indeed…pathetic actually. Myspace is not an excuse; every tom, dick and ekaete has one…a (well-designed) website is one that sets you apart from the rest; gives u the earnestly needed recognition every talented artiste deserves.

    I hope (for 2face’s sake & theirs) Kennis Music take on the challenge and build up good websites.

    It’s just pathetic.

  4. richendo Says:

    what i think? if you’re a signed, successful artist there are a few things you just cant do. one of them is definitely not having a web presence, or not having some reasonable public relations. its really a shame that the biggest name presently in the Nigerian entertainment industry has no web presence.

    still can’t believe it! i’ll get him one for free, just to take away the shame!!!

  5. KAY Says:

    Thanx for this opportunity….. web-link is very important because art, especially music is universal. There are lots of people all around the world with special interest in what comes out of Naija. They need a place to reach in and find from the artists themselves.

    I do my things too.!!!

    Check it out for I am still ava…….ble! :-)

  6. femi Says:

    Are u sure 2Face ain’t got a website? That’s unbelievable! It costs only $10 to register a domain name for christ’s sake! DOes he know how much he can make from download of “African Queen”………..

    Let 2face contact me. I’m not a guru but I’ll have a site up for him in one week. Full Multimedia and all that……

    check out sites I’ve done.

    update: 2face idibia does have a myspace account that he reportedly updates (although there isn’t any indication of that)
    In any case, it’s here:

    http://www.myspace.com/2faceidibia

    It strangely doesn’t appear in my space searches with various combinations of 2face and idibia - strange.

  8. EjeoDaMan ToZin Says:

  10. David Says:

    Big thanks to all who have comments about 2Face, if you are in Maryland, USA, try to nail ID or Kenny Ogungbe for 2Face’s sake. Please, help this young man. For now, they (ID and KO) are the main people anybody can see in order to get 2Face.

  11. silendee Says:

    According to what i have read here ,is a talented artist 2face who just abandoned his (first website or personal website] that can display his talent across the world on the web, for myspace that a 5 yr old can have and display anything, i just found that even in search engines it appears that the african king has no personal website and you can not find his songs anywhere, 2face and his myspace has no information about the artist and his bio, we are not condeming the way he sings his talented and a good artist, a big inspiration to upcoming african artist, the internet is a good place to get known even much better, i have been searching for african queen i cant find it, at last i find my self in this forum, were i can express my self on the artist and the internet. if you do check this plz do something

But seriously tu ur personal website needs to be up and running better than it is. May u do go international mainstram abeg, we naija ppl dey ready to throw support and u have that star quality. Let’s go!

  23. Ehi Says:

    Totally agree with you about the Kennis Music page. Been trying to get across for a long time.But nadda. Knowing Kenny, I am sure they have something cooking up- big. Perhaps we should give them sometime. Its no sense coming out if aint gonna come out bigger than before. …But guys hurry tho -the world wont wait that long..so much more out there also. Hey guys give me a shout if u like :) renakimio@hotmail.com

  24. Dennis Says:

    Hey,
    Mr. 2face, ur website was so boring..oooh my god u need to check this site http://www.psquareworld.com. the site is the da bomb. But for the fact, that u are a star, ur site need to showcase all about u, ur music and so on. Pls for god sake, remove the dirty pictures u placed there http://www.2faceidibiaonline.com/index.html, they are not cool at all for a star.
    This should be treated with urgency.

    Dennis

  25. crazysexycool Says:

    i like 2face bt y u gaz 2 mess up like dis.herd bou ur new song bt dnt knw wat website i cud get it frm or even gt 2 listen 2 it.website is like a big deal 4 al y’al artists n u nt even bothered.do sumtn bou it mein.

  26. evelyn Says:

    I was at the movies a couple of weeks ago to see the phat girls, it was really cool…..a cool breath of air for d country…….my American friends danced to the music…..I was proud……….d problem is 2faze doesnt know what he has, d right buttons to push……….he is still looking up to kennis music who probably has no freaking idea of what can come out of the opportunity…One thing is its kinda rare for Americans to listen to other artistes from a diff country……….the artiste has to be really good cos one….when africans sing……Americans dont understand and two, there is so much competition going on here alone………….He has to be really smart about it………..but I wish him good luck anyways………..

  27. tadeusz Says:

    LOL, is extremely humorous to read web trollz’ criticisim of 2F website. U have a “good” website, he does not…He is winning music awards and acclaim, traveling around the world, and you are sniping at him on website he does not even read. Who’s the winner in that scenario?

    Be assured that Tuface will eventually get his stuff together. Remember that what he and Kennis Music have accomplished has been done with even less than what he has now.

    Stop acting like the americans, being crabs in a barrel. It is very unbecoming to Africans. Put your ego in check, and support your Nigerian brother. Otherwise ascendancy of African music will be over before it begins.

  28. bobo Says:

    tadeusz, this isn’t about egos, “acting like americans,” or jealousy as you put it. It’s about capitalizing on your opportunities before they pass you by. We’re all aware that Nigerian musicians aren’t getting their fair due and that’s in large part to a failing on the marketing end … very simple things to increase awareness are not being done, simple things like maintaining a web presence …

  29. ambasador sam Says:

    i beg oga 2face make carry on no shaking and no thing do you at all

  30. FOP Says:

    Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so na true say

  31. tadeusz Says:

    Bobo, I have to admit the marketing leaves much to be desired.

    I guess what I tried to say (very clumsily, I might add) is that KM and Tuface have done a very good job with what they’ve had to work with so far. It was distressing to see all the criticisms directed at them when they’ve made great strides with limited resources. I know there are millions of artists with First Class Websites who would love to be in Tuface’s position right now.

    I hope he invests some of his success in taking his career to the next level.

  32. Henry Says:

    I think i agree with femi, i have a website and i think that 2face is….

  33. neanderthal Says:

    i gotta hand it 2 2face. He’s the shit but aint nuthin like this website of his. its really mash up. On a scale of 1-10. it gets 1 for attempt. Not being funny but i know turkish and Greek people who listen to african queen on their i-pod. That’s a phenomenal achievement so im an is crew need 2 do more.peace

  34. dotmanx Says:

    its not surprising for me though that kennis music “f-uped”. see money is not the main thing. the main thing for me is “Know how” and if u ask me, they lack it, big time. money will be your defence if a proper technical depth can back it up. well guys here goes another naija. tell them to employ professionals.

  35. donald Says:

    Its quite pity that we nigerians continue to pass up opportunities to expand our horizons and show the world the better side of us.
    Truth of the matter is that Kennis music is just an opportunist who was fortunate to be there at the right time but they are making the same mistake that affects all black businesses ,which is that they think once they are on top ,they’ll stay there forever and thats a BIG LIE. Fact is, its takes more staying power,creativity and innnovation to stay on top ,or better still ahead of the game.I guess rugged man said it all when he yabbed them on that track “ehen”.(na wa ooo,whats the use of a website if you dont have contact information”
    -peace out!much love to the diaspora!

  36. olumighty Says:

    i am a nigerian,i just want to be promoter to kennis music here in gabon,bcos they love nigerian music here so much and especially 2face idibia.

  37. BYKIE F-town Says:

    The success of 2face and his Kennis music ally may have been over celebreted. The Homeboy should flow back like a boat upon the Nile and come up with some poppin sound tracks. There has been so much concentration on the awards won by him so far , unending international shows might put him out of focus to work on some new doppest album. First solo album face2face should have been shelved and his producer then move over to something new in town.
    PANORAMA magazine shall be speaking to 2face on his music tours and personal life, rumours have it that he has 22girls or more for sex mates :-w

    Ok thank you in advance for all kissssss.

  40. saintegs Says:

    i think keeny,is just some one that does not care about the entertainment world,All he cares about is how 2 grow his tommy and laff like a kids on tv.Kennis music cannot produce areal artist dat is as tight as me.

  41. Kev Ejiroghene Says:

    Well i am not surprised at all this,its pity that these are some of the reasons we never make it too far.Neglecting simple but basic things.Kennis music as a whole need to grow up and stop leaving with their glory of being the best in Naija.They should be trying to meet the standards of the western world.Music companies with no talents at all here in the United Kingdom do alot better on publicity so i see no reason why with a talent like 2face and the funds they have they cant just decide at last to use their brains and do something decent.Even a 13 years old child can run a website and keep it running for ages.

  42. eleshin tayo Says:

    well i think that guy call bobo shud have the contact of kennis music cat.he should then lay the complain straight to them,that action will help rather than doing PTA meeting on the net and making tuface the bone of contention.we all know it is quite horrible for an artist of his status not to have a personal website,but there is little we can do since kennis music had eventually took over the management aspect of the artist from nowmuzik who b4 now are responsible for building the less functioned idibia2face.com.

You speak like someone who does not even have an insight into the Nigerian music world! Ppl like u should be seen and not heard.U make no sense.All the money that Tuface has made,did he give u a single kobo?

  50. eleshin tayo Says:

    till now i can’t understand why p’ple keep shouting and blabbering that blackface wrote the multi award winning track’african queen’ 4 2face idibia.well i think this is a very good forum 4 us to educate ourself,michael jackson the acclaimed king of pop had most of his porpular track written for him by r-kelly,wyclef,babyface and some ghost writer……..also celine dion who many p’ple believe is a great singer also has song written by so many p’ple that are not even musician, why then is the loud noise about black writing 4 2baba.there is individual talent in every human being,blackface is a very good songwriter no doubt but 2face has the charisma,skill,voice and the aura to transform the composition into world class music.CHIKENA

  56. ADEOYE TAIWO Says:

    again XMOND T NA D BEST 4 NAIJA

  57. oyin frm uk Says:

    wat am gon say is dat although 2face is big ting in naija now, he shldn’t rely on performances alone but shld also sell sum of his music online 4 his fans 2 buy nd earn more money in return. also instead of kenny & d1 focusing deir time on 2face alone, dey shld also focus deir time on other uprising musicians trying 2 make it big so dat dey 2oo can become famous.

  58. sam Says:

    I agree with you, especially kenny and d1’s concentration on tuface alone. i think it’s a black man’s problem…not being able to manage success. For God’s sake wat wouldn’t it be to their own merit and financial gain if they have like 5 or even 10more “tuface”? it’s amazing how we think? i agree….they are messing up!

  59. wale Says:

    if anybody does not know now XMONDT is d best in naija. he is humble kool handsome.we nigerians are all surprised his style is so different and he has started changin the nigerian music scene AGAIN XMONDT NA D BEST

  67. Dotun alfred Says:

    TUFace has got some flaws ,and I think he shud listen to what his fans are saying since he represents Naija internationally. For Kennis music , I RESERVE MY FURIOUS & DISSAPOINTED REMARKS.

  71. Abidemi Says:

    I love all naija artist because they are doing something to put nigeria on the map and you cant really knock anyones hustle. One artist I have mad respect for is RUGGEDMAN. Nigerian Entertainment interviewed him and its clear he is using his status to progress in other avenues which is what a true business man does regardless of if you are an artist or not. Look at people like JayZ, P-diddy, no one can tell me they made all their cash from music , they used music/celeb status to open other doors which is the way it should be etc. .You can read the interview here http://www.nigerianentertainment.com I think other Naija artists should follow his footsteps and be smart in this game. You have to spend money to make money and not using your status to its maximum is just lame. I would have thought by now 2face would have a clothing line, a restaurant, and even his own little singing doll. lol Forget not having a website, 2face Idibia should be a brand name by now.

  74. Timothy Idowu Says:

    I think Nigeria does not have Records Label yet, what we have are just companies that releases music into the market.
    I mean how can a company like Kennis Music that claim to be international company not having a website, and also can not create a website for all their artists. It’s very ridiculuos.

  75. aigbe Says:

    you are wrong http://www.kennismusiconline.com is their website. some aspects are still under construction but you can listen to 2face’s new song and other cool stuff. plus kenny has taken 2face further than most naija labels would have. i saw them perform in chicago and it was very well done.

  76. Olotu Wilson Says:

    2face Idibia 2 much, see the new release na, U no bow. anyway kennismusic no try, I don’t see any contacts, any time I visit the website, its so slow.

  77. James Says:

    Hey this is my first time on ur site and i most say i am more than impressed by what i see,i love the way Nigerians in the diaspora like u are keeping our flags high,keep it up bro.As regards to Tuface and the site issue, i think Nigerians are very greedy people and it has shown it s self here.What a big label like Kennis Music need do is to asign the job of updating and maitaining their site to a company so that they can spend or rather concentrate on the job of promoting and distrubuting music.Its most regretable that a the peak Tuface’s career he could not take the advantage of the internet were he could have had internet chats with Fans all around the world, started a Fan club(i dont if he has one already)he would have made so much money from download of African fromthe internet..men the list goes on and on.
    I hope Kennis Music is reading and listening…They look like guys with the right ideas i hope they put their ideas and experince to full practise so that Nigeria musicians and Music will be the better.Halla!!!!!

    i am a student, i just finished my national diploma at lagos state polytechnic. i actually love to become a musician but i have a small problem writting songs. i know have a perfect voice and talent to sing but i dont have any particular song presently. i belief with the help of a good song writer also with a good voice trainer and consistent song practicing a can become a stand out musician in nigeria.

  136. olalekan Says:

    To be realistic, they are good in the in showbiz and 2face is on of naija’s finest but kennis music should step up and stop being empty barrels. We all know they produces WACK VIDEOS that can win channel O due 2 arrangement.

  137. valentine Says:

    Wel i don’t the see the problem with 2face idibia is just that people are not happy with great succes and that had been the reason why some are critising him the way.

    i am also into musical line and i no what it as takes to go that level of his.

    so all i just have to say is that he a great musician and he need to keep it up.

  144. Emeka Nkeze Says:

    I am really disappointed about the problem with Kenny Ogungbe and 2face capitalising on their successes. I have the pleasure of introducing 2face’s African Queen’ at my wedding ceremony just some days ago here in France and everyone there accepted it immediately. It is my- quest to seek for the contact information of Kenny’s music and 2face that led me to this blog. I really don’t understand the Nigerian factor. Can someone please get in touch with 2face directly and ask him to habdle is future well. kenny’s music is really doesn’t take care of his interests. He is the hottest thing around now and he is about to fuck it up.
