New Beef! Blackface attacks Wizkid in new video ‘Killah’

Blackface and Wizkid.

We’ve clearly not seen the last of Nigerian entertainment beefs in January 2016.
This time, veteran dancehall act and member of the defunct Plantashun Boiz, Blackface returns with a new song and video titled ‘Killah‘ where he takes shot at Wizkid, calling him a ‘copycat‘
In the song, Blackface used punchlines like, ‘Why Wizkid try me steal melody, dey copycat, na get me energy, me burn them me send them to the cemetery’.

Just a few days back, Wizkid was called out on Twitter by Dammy Krane who accused him of ‘stealing’ his lines, slangs and content.

Hollywood: Actors of colour to boycott Oscar

Hollywood Director Spike Lee and actress Jada Pinkett Smith, said they would boycott next month’s Oscar Academy Awards ceremony because black actors were shut out of nominations.
The Oscar acting nominees announced recently that award lacked black performers for a second straight year; leading to the revival of the Twitter feed #OscarsSoWhite that emerged in 2015.

Lee, the director of “Do the Right Thing” and 2015’s “Chi-Raq”, said he had timed his announcement with the national holiday commemorating slain civil rights leader, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
“How is it possible for the second consecutive year all 20 contenders under the Actor Category are white? And let’s not even get into the other branches,” Lee wrote under the #OscarsSoWhite hash tag.
“40 white actors in two years and no `flava’ at all. We can’t act?!” said Lee, who was awarded an honorary Oscar in November.
