Rick Ross - Hold Me Back (Nigeria)

Rick Ross Angers Nigerians. He Should Learn Something From This Kenyan Video

Africans are pretty good at making noise every time a Western video that shows them in less than impressive light is released.
If Africans can't help themselves out of their situation, then maybe they should make poverty videos that are actually positive, the way The Very Best did in Kenya.

American rapper, Rick Rose recently released a video for his track, Hold Me Back which was shot in Nigeria. The video has angered Nigerians because it was shot in the Nigerian slums instead of the nicer places in the country. The video starts with the news broadcast of the Biafran War, then goes on to show different shots of either poverty or volatility in the country. Here's the video.

The Very Best, a pop made up of a Brit and a Malawian came to Kenya to shoot a video for their political track, Yoshua Alikuti. The video was shot in Huruma and the Mathare slums, and somehow, they found a way to not only not make it negative, but also kinda funny.
The clip spoofs Lil' Wayne's famous A Milli clip and provides an alternative view to slums in Africa, without necessarily making fun of the people. All it does is glorify a certain lifestyle and shows us "it's all good in the slums." And the group got rewarded when they were nominated for the MOBOs. Read about it here.

Jay-Z and Beyonce host Obama dinner

Jay-Z and Beyonce, Popular musicians

President of the United States Barack Obama is fighting for a second term in the White House, but luckily he's got celebrity star power to call on.
Jay-Z and Beyonce are hosting a lavish fundraising party for the President on Tuesday night in New York at the rapper's 40/40 Club.

While it will be an intimate shindig, it certainly won't be a toned down affair.

According to The New York Post, a ticket for the hottest event of the night is costing a staggering $40,000 (£24,000).
It's not known how many people will be attending. The New York Post claimed that around 100 people will party with the President, while Jay Z hinted on his Twitter page: 'Guest list: Obama plus 40.'
The 40/40 Club has undergone a $10million (£6million) renovation, with the main talking point a bespoke Armand de Brignac Gold Champagne Tower.
The club rep added: 'It’s floor-to-ceiling gold bottles in the entire space. It’s beautiful — breathtaking.'
It's believed it will be Obama's last stop in his New York campaign before November's election, and it's apt that he is spending time with the hip-hop couple.
Last month, he revealed that he's a huge fan of their music, and he regularly listens to them on his iPod.
He also added that he turns to a Beyonce track during his fitness sessions.
He told the hosts of Albuquerque’s KOB-FM: 'I will say right now that if I'm really trying to get my heart rate up, Crazy In Love is a pretty good song to work out to.'
However, while it's sure to be a night to remember for those who are lucky enough to attend, the party has angered his Republican rivals

Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj BEEF

When Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj were drafted as judges on American Idols, the world greeted it with unanimous acceptance and great expectation, but early into the show the duo didn’t want to see eye to eye.

Nicki Minaj reportedly arrived 45 minutes late, and Mariah Carey criticized her. Nicki wouldn’t take any of that and she fired right back.

They’ve reportedly buried the hatchet on monday as they believe a feud between the judges wouldn’t be good for the show. They were seen walking hand-in-hand down the hall smiling. As much as their truce should be a good thing, TMZ seems to think otherwise. 

Is a feud between judges good for any show? Wouldn’t they need to agree on some decisions?
