I saw the discovery video made by Lucky Udu on the current living condition of singer SKY B and I was deeply touched. Many didn’t know that SKY B and Timaya albums were pushed together same time into the Market by DANCO MUSIC who was a rice seller but was motivated into music marketing by the talents of TIMAYA and SKY B who were the raves of the moment from the South-South.

The singles of SKY B; PRAY FOR ME, I AM CALLING and that of TIMAYA; DEM MAMA, CALL ME TIMAYA amongst others were street and club bangers then.

As a music critic and analyst then, I discovered that where SKY B initially failed was the rush of his music videos which fell below expectations considering the hit of the songs. TIMAYA was very smart, he delayed the shoot of his own music videos and later came out with classy videos which complimented his hit songs. TIMAYA further moved to Lagos and expanded collaborations with further song productions from Oba K-Solo apart from Chiredu.

Timaya used the Lagos Advantage which is always recommended to creatives but SKY B stayed back. After struggling secretly, he pulled a death stunt and was later discovered to be alive and nothing was heard from him till this current video.

I wish him a great come back even if not into the currently highly competitive Nigerian music scene but to enjoy the benefits of his hit songs on all platforms to enjoy a better life.

South African social media influencer Beandri Booysen, renowned for her inspiring posts on TikTok, has sadly departed on Wednesday, December 18, at the tender age of 19.

Her family shared the heartbreaking news on social media, highlighting Beandri’s courageous battle with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that accelerates aging in children.

In a poignant tribute, Beandri’s loved ones described her as a vibrant and infectious young woman who “radiated hope and joy” despite her health challenges. They praised her unique spirit, which inspired countless individuals worldwide.

As news of her passing spread, an outpouring of condolences flooded TikTok. According to medical experts, Progeria causes rapid aging, with symptoms emerging within the first two years of life. The average life expectancy for children with Progeria is approximately 15 years, although some may live longer or shorter lives.

While there is currently no cure for Progeria, ongoing research and novel treatments offer promise for managing symptoms and complications. Beandri’s family has requested privacy during this difficult time and will share details about a memorial service in due course.
