Shockwaves are reverberating across Yorùbáland and the global Yorùbá diaspora following the sudden death of the Baba Ọba (King’s Father) of the famed Oyotunji African Village in South Carolina, USA. The late Baba Ọba, Lukman Arohunfale, a revered socialite and traditionalist, passed away under circumstances already sparking fierce controversy. His death comes just days after he publicly accused the newly installed Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty Oba Akeem Adéyẹmọ Owoade, of allegedly ordering his courtiers to beat him mercilessly during a recent courtesy visit to the Oyo palace in Nigeria.

Popular singer, Zlatan Ibile has joined the list of Nigerian artiste with their own music label, this comes as he announced his 'Zanku Music Label' on January 1st 2019.
Prior to starting his music label, Zlatan was a recording artist signed to Alleluia Boys.
As at now, there is yet to be any artist signed to the label.
However, Ngg.ng can confirm that the artwork for the label is ready.
A look at the logo showed that the name of the label came as a result of the popular Zanku Dance.
The reason for Zlatan Ibile moving to create his record label may be as a result of his rise to stardom in 2019. As at 2018, the rapper stressed that he was driving a Toyota Sienna and didn't have a house of his own.
But in 2019 he not only performed at Afro Nation in Ghana, with the likes of Wizkid and Akon in attendance he also headlined his own show.

While a handful have been successful, majority of them end up becoming unpopular, hopefully Zlatan will join the successful few.
