It was all smiles at the African Bar, Oriental Hotel, venue of this week’s Industry Nite which hosted Alapomeji Records boss 9ice as he reunited with long-time friends and crew mates ID Cabasa, Lord of Ajasa and others.
9ice who used the opportunity to celebrate his birthday was seen discussing and sharing jokes with long-time friend, collaborator and producer ID Cabasa in one of the backstage rooms. Cabasa who heads CODED Tunes played a major part in producing 9ice’s first two albums – ‘Certificate’ and ‘Gongo Aso’.
After ‘Gongo Aso’ was released 2008, Cabasa gradually played lesser roles in 9ice’s music and eventually became a guest producer on subsequent albums ‘Tradition’ and ‘Versus’. Reports say 9ice also alienated himself from former CODED Tunes allies including 2Phat.
At Industry Nite on Wednesday January 18, 9ice also met up with long-time friends such as rapper Lord of Ajasa and pop act Jah Bless and even called both artistes on stage to perform ‘Le fenu so’ and ‘Pass me the ganja’ respectively.
Other acts that performed at the event are Alapomeji acts Seriki and Snow, as well as ex-Alapomeji acts Ajayi Brothers. Others are Tiwa Savage, Vector, DJ Jimmy JATT, JJC, Coded Tunes rapper oLamide, Dammy Krane and others. Popular faces that attended include Mo’Hits boss Don Jazzy, Dr SID, Terry G, Modenine, Sexy Steel and others.

Hmmm!! Dude is desperately trying to promote his double albums and ‘re-wright’ the ‘WRONGS’ of the past. Nice moves. But come to think of it; these damage control moves will it see the light of the day with Toni Payne missing in the picture? What of Rugged’s shadowy ‘ghost’ still hovering…..?
What are u saying desperately promoting what,he doesnt need to promote d album cos dat album is one of d best albums ever produced in 9ja besides he didnt host himself,it was industry night.Forget tonipayne day are no longer 2geda but still good frnds,u cnt make it work.Rugged man wished him happy birthday,dey are no longer beefing eachoda.He is stil among top 5 naija musician,sumone dat sold i million copies in 24hrs and 4million in 10 days,record dat has not been beaten yet
AS FOR NET U GUYS SHULD RELEASE D PICTURES NOW COS IF IT WAS OTHER ARTISTE UNA GO DON RELEAE ABEG MAKE UNA DO SO.
I think it is high time this site rise above personal beef Ãήϑ give us quality reporting. Personal feelings is getting in the way when it comes to 9ice Ãήϑ the earlier you realize that there are other sites to do justice to issues in the entertainment industry the better. I waited 3 days before the event was mentioned on this site. To me that is below par. Your reportage or not W̶̲̥̅̊ȋ̝̊̅ ̄ι̥ι̥ not hinder 9ice from making his money but remember it is we the people who visit you site that you’re doing it for. Hope the necessary amendments W̶̲̥̅̊ȋ̝̊̅ ̄ι̥ι̥ be made.
“sumone dat sold i million copies in 24hrs and 4million in 10 days,record dat has not been beaten yet”
