Munachi Abii the current Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) was one of the star attractions of the Hip Hop World award. She would complete her tenure as a queen and handover to another person next weekend in Lagos.
Observers believe that she was not as prominent as her predecessors until the last stage of her reign.However, other believe she was only lying low so as to stay off scandals.
When http://www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com/ chatted with her at the award ceremony, she denied media reports that Lanre Nzeribe dropped stylish Barrister Grace Egbagbe for her. She decribed the report as a rumour.
Recently, she has also been linked to Paul of Psquare.Some weekly magazines have published the report that they were so much in love that marriage is on the cards.
When http://www.niyitabit.blogspot.com/ sought the reaction of Psquare to the report, they played one of their yet to be released video for me to see. Entitled ‘Ifunaya’, the video featured the Munachi in romantic mood with Paul. They danced and held each other like lovers. “I think it has to with what some people saw at the shooting of the video” Peter disclosed.
The video and others are expected to be out shortly after the reign of Munachi. “In the next two or three weeks, it should be out”, their manager, Jude Okoye told www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com

BREAKING NEWS:PSQUARE SAYS HIP HOP WORLD AWARD IS A SHAME


By Niyi Tabiti
Chief Reporter


Psquare,one of Nigeria's most popular hip hop group have come out to describe their inability to pick an award at the hip hop world award as a 'tribal' attack.The group were nominated in 5 different categories but ended up going home with nothing.

This afternoon, http://www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com/ was at the home of the group and they voiced out their bitterness through Jude 'Engee'Okoye, their elder brother and manager. Jude said Ayo Animashun dissapointed them by making sure that only peopleof South West origin (Yoruba) won awards except for Ruggedman,Timaya and 2face Idibia.He alleged that 'Stylee' the song that won the best music video is a trash compared to the 'Do Me' video he did for Psquare.DJ TEE won the award because he shot it.He noted that DJ Tee is the technical director for the award and his wife is also a top official of HipTv, owned by the award organisers.In his words "That award should have been called Yoruba Hip Hop award"

He also alledged that Rugged Man's name was smuggled into the list at the last minute because the name was not on the original long list earlier published in newspapers or magazines.

Efforts to get the award organisers today proved abortive.An industry source who does want his name mentioned disclosed that Psquare should stop crying like babies.They should accept their fate, afterall in the past,they have carted home awards from the same Hip Hop World and nobody said they didn't deserve it.
