Afropop singer
Kefee has released a new video for her song titled ‘No Be Sapele Water’
on Monday February 28. The video was premiered on the online music
portal notjustok.com and directed by Wudi Awa for Wudland Productions.
The singer said she
got inspired to do the track ‘No Be Sapele Water’ after a performance
where someone advised her to slow down on her dance steps. “The man
came to me and said that was an electrifying performance, I could not
stop dancing, and advised that I should not take too much of it o! and
I asked too much of what? He thought I performed under the influence of
alcohol and was surprised when I told him I don’t drink, it sounded
like a lie, he went, ‘‘ahh! You Sapele pikin, no dey drink….story…
I laughed and thought of doing a song called ‘Sapele Water’ which is
also referred to as Palm Wine or Ogogoro. I don’t perform under the
influence of alcohol that is why I titled the track ‘No be Sapele
water’”.
Popular for her hit
tracks ‘Branama’ and ‘Kokoroko’ featuring Timaya, Kefee made her debut
into the industry in 2003 with her solo debut, ‘Branama’. Known for
singing in her dialect, the delta state born singer is currently
working on her new album aptly titled ‘Confession’.

Eminem overtakes Lady Gaga as most-liked on Facebook
It’s official —
Eminem is the most “liked” living artist on Facebook. The Detroit
rapper overtook Lady Gaga this week for the distinction, currently
coming in at over 28,883,000 ‘likes’ as opposed to Gaga’s 28,872,000.
Eminem, 38, is
currently averaging over half a million ‘likes’ a day, according to
Famecount. At this rate, he will soon surpass Michael Jackson as the
most ‘liked’ artist on Facebook, as the King of Pop currently sits at
29.1 million ‘likes.’ However, in the broader picture of social
influence, Gaga is far ahead of Eminem in terms of Twitter followers,
with over 5 million more followers than he; he also goes through long
dark periods. And earlier this week, the rapper reached 1 billion plays
on YouTube, making him only the third artist to pull off the
achievement. However, he still trails both Gaga and Justin Bieber in
the category by over 190 million and 340 million plays, respectively.
