Wale and MI Abaga Set To Drop A Track Together

It’s been about 3 years of serious, heavy international collabos, Dbanj & Snoop, P-Square & Rick Ross, Eldee & Yung Joc, and now we get to see one of our best hip-hop exports MI Abaga join forces with MMG’s Wale.

Wale, of Nigerian origin, has been linked to Nigerian artists in terms of collabos, most recently WizKid & Ice Prince.

Wale tweeted at MI indicating that there’s some stuff that might be released as early as this week.

@MI_Abaga Wassup my brother. I wanna drop a track with u this week. Send me a joint u need a verse on

We’ll patiently wait and see. MI is working on his 3rd studio album, which is set to be released this year, but you just never know with MI. It might be this year, or it might be next. But till then, we’ll just wait and see what develops from this.

Watch out!


SHOCKER: Pokello ‘dumps’ Boyfriend Stunner live on TV

Zimbabwean Pokello Nare, last night shocked Zimbabweans around the world when she said that she was ready to wait for Ghanaian housemate Elikem to leave the house to pursue her relationship with him.

Pokello became the 16th housemate to be evicted from Big Brother Africa The Chase, bringing to an end Zimbabwe’s dream of winning the US$300,000 grand prize. This was the fifth time Pokello was up for eviction and the fourth time in a row.

The vivacious Pokello, probably suffering from nomination fatigue, seemed not to be too bothered about being booted off the show, and said that it was just a game and life would go on.

When she learnt that it was time to head out, she kissed Ghanaian housemate Elikem, who she had developed a special relationship with, gave hugs to the rest of her housemates and then made her way out through the awkward silence that shrouded the house.

During her red couch interview with presenter IK she said, “I was not surprised when I got nominated. I was never afraid of going home because I did not walk out of a stone, I have a home.”

She also revealed that what the relationship she had with Elikem was for real.

“I am really feeling what we had with Elikem,” revealed Pokello, who was blushing in front of the cameras. “I am ready to wait for him.” Earlier in her Diary session Pokello told Big Brother that she was content with her stay in the house and when she was asked if she would miss

Elikem, she admitted with no doubt that she would and insisted that this was not the end of his game but hers.

So did she just dump Stunner in front of tens of thousands of continental viewers on live television? is the question that Zimbabweans are asking. That remains to be seen.

Stand up comedian, Simba The Comic King speculated on a deeper Pokello plot and tweeted; “Seriously tho I feel Pokello planned this, e Stunner fling, e sextape, entry into #BigBroAfrica all part of a plan to get popular #PokiStunsZim.”

Unlike in previous weeks, Pokello only received two country votes this week. Here is how the voting totalled out among the five housemates who were up for eviction: Angelo = 5 (Angola, Botswana, South Africa, Zambia, Rest of Africa), Annabel = 3 (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda), Dillish = 3 (Ethiopia, Malawi, Namibia), Pokello = 2 (Ghana, Zimbabwe) and Basssey = 2 (Nigeria, Sierra Leone).

The other Zimbabwean housemate in BBA The Chase , Hakeem Mandaza (@HulkMandaza), was evicted two weeks ago. He had his welcome back party at The Lounge in Newlands on Friday evening and then was in Bulawayo on Saturday for another gig.

His contribution to the Twitter conversation after Pokello’s ouster, “Pokello out… Zim out… Africa I’m not happy…”
