Singer, Akon has warned music stars such as Davido to avoid buying or owning private jets.
The ‘Blame It On Me’ crooner gave the warning while featuring as a guest in the latest episode of Impulsive Podcast.
He said celebrities should steer clear of private jets if they want to “stay rich.”
“Whatever you do, do not own a private jet. Bro, owning a jet is spending at least 2-3 million dollars a year just for upkeep .
“You spend more on the maintenance than the actual jet cost. This is the advice I give everybody. The money that you have now has to last you a lifetime.
“When you reason it that way, you are going to be very prudent,”Akon said.
According to Akon, “If you want to stay rich, stay stingy. I’m the stingiest man on the planet.”
Some Nigerian singers are owners of private jets. The first to acquire one was Davido in 2018. Wizkid is also said to have his own jet too.
But many of them hire jets when they want to travel for their shows.
Akon, whose full name is Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam, clocked 50 years in April.
Outside of music, he is involved with Akon Lighting Africa project, which began in 2014. It aims to provide electricity in 15 countries of Africa.
He also launched his own charity for underprivileged children in Africa called Konfidence Foundation.
The most ambitious of Akon’s project is his plan to build Akon City, from scratch in Senegal.
He announced the project in 2018, but no progress has been made so far

The Weeknd Hints At Retiring Stage Name After Next Album: 'I Want To Kill The Weeknd'

The Weeknd has hinted at retiring his stage name after his next project, admitting that he wants to “kill” off his musical persona.

Abel Tesfaye dropped the bombshell in an interview with W Magazine, where he and his Idol co-star Lily Rose-Depp sat down to speak about their upcoming HBO series, which airs on June 4.

“I’m going through a cathartic path right now,” the Canadian crooner said. “It’s getting to a place and a time where I’m getting ready to close the Weeknd chapter. I’ll still make music, maybe as Abel, maybe as The Weeknd. But I still want to kill The Weeknd. And I will. Eventually. I’m definitely trying to shed that skin and be reborn.”

Elsewhere, he added: “The album I’m working on now is probably my last hurrah as The Weeknd. This is something that I have to do. As The Weeknd, I’ve said everything I can say.”

The statement comes after The Weeknd confirmed fans were witnessing the birth of a new trilogy shortly after the release of his last album Dawn FM in January 2022. The XO hitmaker seemed to imply that the new trilogy had begun with After Hours back in 2020.

“I wonder… did you know you’re experiencing a new trilogy,” he tweeted at the time.

The Weeknd Didn’t Think He Initially Had ‘Right Look’ To Be An R&B Star
Fans began to scramble for more answers online, with one Reddit page theorizing that Dawn FM‘s track “Every Angel is Terrifying” hints that The Weeknd’s next album could be titled After Life.

In the meantime, The Weeknd is currently in the midst of rolling out new music in support of The Idol. He recently dropped the single “Double Fantasy” with Future and announced during a surprise Coachella performance that more music would appear on a companion project titled The Idol Vol. 1.

The Weeknd also co-executive produced and made multiple appearances on Mike Dean’s latest album ” rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>4:23, which dropped in April. He appeared on the tracks “Artificial Intelligence,” “Defame Moi,” “More Coke!!” and “Emotionless.”

Juice WRLD’s Team Planning New Mural After Original Mysteriously Vanishes

Juice WRLD‘s team is reportedly planning to create a new mural honoring the late rapper after the original artwork was covered up in his hometown.

According toTMZ, Juice’s manager Peter Jideonwo relayed that plans are already in motion to paint another mural in Chicago, which had become a cultural landmark in the city prior to being painted over.

Jideonwo explained their team still has no idea who covered the mural and the city’s Street Sanitation Department even took a paint test to prove they weren’t the culprits.

They could even go a step further with an extensive mural that also comes with some form of protection from outsiders. The idea of a statue is also on the table.

Corey Pane crafted the original mural piece in July 2020, which he was commissioned for $50,000 and fans have flooded his comment section hoping he would redo it again.

Juice WRLD suffered a seizure following a private flight from California to Chicago’s Midway International Airport on December 8, 2019 when the “Lucid Dreams” hitmaker was rushed by paramedics to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Ill., where he was pronounced dead.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office determined Juice WRLD’s cause of death to be an accidental overdose of oxycodone and codeine.

Juice’s estate is still putting the finishing touches on his final posthumous album, The Party Never Ends, which will serve as a follow-up to 2021’s Fighting Demons.

“The Last Juice WRLD Album is in the works,” Lil Bibby wrote to Instagram in February. “We want this album to feel like a Celebration/Party! Let’s celebrate the life of Juice [pray hands, balloon and dove emojis]. “No more mourning, I want everyone that Juice loved while he was here to help celebrate, especially his fans who he loved!”

Nigerian hip-hop artist, Zlatan Ibile has revealed that he used the car he won from a music competition as a taxi. He disclosed this in a recent chat with media personality, Samuel Eni.

Zlatan recounted: “I qualified among the two to go represent my school in the grand finale [of a music competition]. So, like tactically out of 140 candidates. With just two tracks, I just started rapping. I know nothing about music. I just started writing and downloading beats online. And out of 140 people, I don’t know how God did it, I won a brand new car when I was 19 years old. My first semester in school.

“From there, I just sat down and said to myself, if I can win a brand new car, seems God is telling me something. I took it seriously from there.

“After that, it took me another four years after I won the car. I ended up using the car as [a] taxi because I could not maintain the car or maintain the lifestyle. Before, Olamide saw me one day and hit me up on Instagram. He called me up and made a song for me, for free,[and also] came for the video shoot for free. To me, that was like my breakthrough song in 2017.

“Davido saw the song [Body], and danced to it; the video was his first one million views on Instagram. And, he called me to come to his house. He made [a] song for me. I told him I don’t have money for [the] video. He gave me money for the video. After then, I made Zanku, and since then it has been blessings upon blessings.”
