With Five Houses In Lekki, I Need No Social Media Validation – Skiibii

Famous Nigerian singer, Skiibii has talked about some of his achievements and acquisitions.

The singer listed his understated achievements and successes as he claims not to be a social media freak.

In an interview with Adesope Olajide on the Afrobeats Podcast, Skiibii recalled his humble beginnings, disclosing he used to live in Ojuelegba.

According to him, his mum is more than proud of him, “My mum is proud of me, the things wey I don do”.

Unlike his colleagues, Skiibii said he doesn’t do things for social media validation because he is not wired like that.

After his major break out in the industry, the singer was able to slowly afford the better things in life, and eventually buy one house, then eventually four additional homes in the Lekki Peninsula, one of the pricey areas in Lagos State.

“I remember when you bought the house,” the host said, to which Skiibii replied, “For inside that Lekki, I get like five!”

The singer went further to explain how he barely needs to pay for anything aside from petrol because he has everything he needs at home, including a recording studio, which brings him money.

Skiibii was signed to Five-Star Music on December 24, 2014, under which he released many of his hit songs, like ‘Ah Skiibii’.

In 2017, he left Five-Star Music to establish his record label ‘more Grace Music World’ where he worked on his debut album.

His most recent and most popular hit is ‘Sensima’ which took the music industry by storm a year later.

Skiibii also added that he had to simply apply sense and only do necessary things because he has suffered in life.

Big Brother Naija Made Me Recognise My Acting Skills – Diane Russet Speaks

Diane Russet, the ex-BBNaija Season 4 housemate, has recounted how she came to recognize her acting skills.

She explained that her appearance in the reality show played a crucial role in unearthing the talent.

Born Precious Yunana Yashim, the film maker said she never knew she possessed the gift of acting until she got into the House.

She explained it began to unfold with every task they were given while on the show.

Detailing how her acting career began, Diane in an interview said: “So I think it was in the Big Brother house, where were given tasks by Big Brother. So for every task that came, we have like acting things we had to do. And prior to that, I hadn’t even tried to join any drama group, even in church. 

“So I think, that was where I started picking interest in it. And because a lot of people were like, ‘Oh you could actually do something like this. It’s really nice’. 

“And then I just felt like, in my head, a lot of things go through my head. I actually blank out in conversations and that’s because I’m always thinking of story ideas in my head. 

“So, I’d say it was actually something I started thinking of in the house. Before the house, I’d done something on depression. But that was just me trying to create content and show a lady going through depression on social topics.

“So, I decided that, let me do movies but also treat on social topics and different….just social topics especially. 

“So, I’ll say that’s how the interest for me started. So Big Brother was like that push for me. 

On how she further honed her acting skills and experience so far, the media personality added: “I came out from the house, I made friends with people that were already in film production. They put me through and then I started from my short films. 

“And I took the leap of faith to do something bigger which was to record a series on YouTube and progressed. 

“And now, I’m just like cruising and learning through it.”
