‘Burna Boy begged Davido for space on his jet’ – Skales

Nigerian singer Skales revealed that Burna Boy allegedly begged Davido to let him join his private jet to Yola for a performance, saying the aircraft was so full that someone had to sit on the toilet seat. Skales recounted the experience while speaking about a show in Yola where he and Burna Boy were booked to perform.

Nigerian singer Skales revealed that Burna Boy allegedly begged Davido to let him join his private jet to Yola for a performance, saying the aircraft was so full that someone had to sit on the toilet seat.

Skales recounted the experience while speaking about a show in Yola where he and Burna Boy were booked to perform.

He said Burna contacted Davido to ask if he could travel with his team, and Davido agreed.

However, because the jet was already full, Davido reportedly had to ask one of his team members to travel the following day.

Recalling the flight, Skales said someone even had to sit on the toilet seat because there was no space.

He also said Davido gave up his seat for him during the journey.

“Burna called Davido and said, ‘Please, can I join their jet?’ Davido said, ‘Why not?’” Skales recalled.

The singer further disclosed that after arriving in Yola, he performed with Burna Boy, and the experience eventually connected him to Major Lazer, with whom he later made music.

Rocky review – 50 years on Stallone’s boxer remains a gritty contender

The actor’s triumphant breakthrough has clear ancestors in grimy tales of working-class struggle, but finds a fresh, rousing idealism Peter Farrelly’s new film I Play Rocky is about the underdog-with-heart story of how a great boxing movie got made against the odds with its plucky young untried screenwriter allowed to star. Its writer and insurgent star Sylvester Stallone created the role of Rocky Balboa, a punchy heavyweight fighter just turned 30, making peanuts slugging it out with bums and reduced to collecting debts for the Philly mob; this is an indignity which infuriates his grizzled…

La Roux: Old Flames review – a breezy, hook-packed twist on a breakup album

(Vertigo) Devastating moments are dressed up with warm production and kinetic 00s R&B in the now quiff-less singer’s grownup fourth album Over the six years that La Roux, AKA Elly Jackson, was making her fourth album, the singer ended a 17-year relationship, confronted her weed dependency, received autism and ADHD diagnoses and lopped off her signature Johnny Bravo-esque quiff. “Feels like you’re slipping right out of my life,” she admits on To Make Our Love, though the song bounces along like Ace of Base’s All That She Wants, while Night Vision, despite its crushing lyrics – “you keep…
