Afrobeats has been blazing on a global scale and look set to intensify thanks to exciting new names on the rise.

One of the most notable to emerge is Teni The Entertainer.

Boasting a sound and artistic proposition that is inimitable, the singer’s flavoursome flow has garnered the attention of a worldwide audience – including London, where she recently played a sold-out show.

Home, though, is where the heart is and Teni is gearing up to play one of Nigeria’s hottest (and most internationally renown) spectacles – the Gidi Culture Fest on April 20th.

Ahead of her performance, That Grape Juice caught up with her to discuss her ascend, a possible WizKid collaboration, Afrobeats’ boom, and much more.

With an ongoing media onslaught surrounding his allegedly faked homophobic attack, ‘Hurt People’ singer Jussie Smollett’s seeing his real life drama hurt the ratings of the scripted drama, ‘Empire.’

Henson-led series was already steadily declining in viewership ahead of the commotion caused by Smollett – a feat the negative press certainly didn’t help.  Just a week after posting its lowest season premiere ratings (mid-season or otherwise), reports now have it ‘Empire’ delivered its lowest figures to date (overall) on its Wednesday (March 20) episode.

A hot favorite following the Sundance Film Festival, the movie tells the the tale of an optimistic young man who seeks to reclaim a valuable item built by a member of his family – all the while as he attempt to find meaning in an ever-changing world.
