John Legend, Keri Hilson Live in SA!!






This is probably one of the best entertainment news of the year for me. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this. John Legend and one of my favourite singer at the moment, Keri Hilson will be serenading their South African fans in Cape Town, Johannesburg and my hometown Durban from

As broke as I am, I will be a fool to miss this concert. I'm already raising funds to buy myself a ticket. I'm gonna make sure I will be singing along to all their songs.

Now that I already have Ms Hilson's album (which reminds me I must get my CD back from my boyfriend), I need to download John Legend's album from the Internet. I call on anybody who has it to sponsor me so I won't commit a crime.

Anyways John Legend and Keri Hilson are presented by Heineken and Big Concerts. They will be performing at the Grand Arena, GrandWest Casino & Entertainment World in Cape Town on the 15th, the Indoor Arena, International Convention Centre Indoor Arena in Durban on the 17th and at the Coca-Cola Dome and at the Coca-cola Dome in Johannesburg on the 18th of October.

This is one concert that shouldn't be missed!

Music Video: Proverb ft HHP - “Breadwinner”



If you've heard this song then you have been missing out on great track!

Proverb teamed up with Jabba to make this super fab track. The track is commemorating all the great dads out there who are man enough to take care of their kids and not following the millions of men who don't know what their children are eating or wearing.

I love the chorus, it's catchy and Proverb's daughter is just too damn cute. He must keep her on a short leech coz those sex hungry boys will be after her in 10 years time

Man I love this collabo!

Oh and I would like to know if Channel O payed all the expenses of this video. They all over the video and what is KB's role it vele. He's childless!

Hell yea Mpume said it!

Music Video: Lizha James ft Mandoza - "Voodoo"



This music is a bit old but I saw it for the first time tonight on Channel O and instantly fell in love with it.

I just love seeing two African artists from two different African countries making music in totally different languages and still make it sound damn good.

I think Mandoza has reached his sell-by date but this song is good. And well I just love Lizha James. She grew on me when her song was played over and over over again on Big Brother Africa 3. I envy that bitche's body.

While I'm on the point of BBA...I can't wait for the fourth season beginning in September. I'll make damn sure that the DSTV subscription is paid during those three months.

Goapele’s new song “Milk & Honey” + Download


Neo soul musician Goapele released her brand new song titled “Milk & Honey” via her Twitter page for her second album which she is currently working on.

Goapele shot to fame with her single “Closer” from her 2005 debut album “Change It All”.

What I love about Goapele and most neo soul artists is that they don’t sell sex but music. They are not industry floozies like most main stream so-called singers which half of them can’t sing a music note properly. And of course she’s got South African roots so I can praise her as much I want to.

Watch out for her album, it’s rumoured to have some industry heavy weights.

Uh-huh, Mpume said so!

Michael Jackson's Memorial + His $25, 000 casket








So here I was switching between Channel O and CNN watching the King of Pop's memorial service at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The fans came out in their numbers to pay their last respect to the deseased musician.

The memorial had performances by artists such as the preggers Jennifer Hudson(is it me or did her baby bump grow over night), Steve Wonder, Mariah Carey, Usher and Lionel Richie.

Magic Johnson snub Joe Jackson in his speech. Maybe it's coz I was reading to much in his speech but when you say MJ's children will have an incredible grandma, uncles, aunts and cousin but fail to say they will have an incredible grandfather. That putting it boldly that Joe is bad father and grandfather. I don't blame Magic, Joe was instrumental in making MJ look like a white woman.





Well I think it's about time MJ is laid to rest. It's been almost two weeks already since his death, it's not like the Jackson family was raising funds for his funeral. The man was not that broke.
Oh and as much as I respect the King of Pop and sad about his death, slow down on MJ videos already (although I would watch Thriller anytime of the day, love that song). A day hasn't gone by since his death I haven't seen any of his music videos.

Don't get me wrong I have nothing but love for the man. He broke the Guinness World Record for most charities supported by a pop star.

MJ’s solid bronze, 14 karat gold plated, custom made casket costs a hefty $25, 000, which is approximately R200 000.


I could buy a nice posh house in the township with that money, and a Chevrolet Spark. Hell I would be the envy of the whole damn township.


I guess the King of Pop deserves a luxurious journey home. No masonite wood that will be termite food within days being six feet under for the king.


I wonder if Michael’s body was even in that casket during the memorial service. If you ask me I would say it wasn’t.


Nonetheless RIP MJ. Say hi to Tupac and Mama Africa for me.
