DON JAZZY TO THE RESCUE-DONATES 2Million TOWARDS FUNMILAYO LAWAL'S FUND
If all we hear is true, then we believe Mavin's own Numero Uno, the one and only Don Jazzy must be commended and if possible nominated for a National Award. Why? We are sure many are asking and very curious to know. We heard that the prolific producer and CEO of Mavin Records and former label mate of D-Banj heeded the good call to help a follow citizen, in the person of Funmilayo Lawal, the Unilag Law undergraduate, who we had earlier informed you all needed help to stop the spread of a Shoulder cancer (Malignant Sarcoma).

I don't really count myself a fan of bollywood movies over 2 and a half hours long, basically cause that's a long time. But it certainly helps if its a fun movie. So yes am a fan of this movie, couldn't stop laughing...

The smoke (Marijuana) must have been second to none or why else, would the Hip-Hop star known to all before his Jamaican visit as SNOOP to the D.O.G.G now all of a sudden have an epiphany and decide to change his name to Snoop LION? 

According to Snoop, he has just discovered that he is the reincarnated Bob Nesta Marley, the late reggae king. So henceforth his new name  is SNOOP LION and not just that he has also fully embraced reggae and the culture. He got 'Born Again' according to himself after a visit to Jamaica in February of 2012. So from now on it would be good music that kids and grandparents can listen too. By the way, what's that you are smoking Snoop? Must be very strong...
