The singer's record label, Kennis Music have also released an official statement.

She was rushed to her official hospital, Reddington, Victoria Island, Lagos, where doctors pronounced her dead on arrival.
We consider this period a gloomy moment for us and the entire Nigerian music industry in view of the circumstance Goldie passed away, the abundance of talent she has exhibited in her but eventful music career and the various opportunities her trip to the United States of America would have availed her. She is survived by her father, step- mother, brothers and sisters. We deeply sympathize with her family and fans all over the world and very grateful to all and sundry, especially, the vibrant Nigerian media for their concern and prompt reportage. We shall keep everybody informed as events unfold as we are still devastated by the sudden loss.”

MOST ANTICIPATED ALBUMS OF 2013
Do you need a reason to be excited about Nigerian hiphop in 2013, here are 10 reasons to be. Counting down from 10 - 1, the most anticipated albums of 2013
It’s almost a tradition
nowadays to see a debutant blow up yearly. Last year was Davido’s, the year
before that was Wizkid’s. Burna boy looks like the sure bet for this year
already. The genre bending artiste who rose from obscurity with the release of
his successful mixtapes “burn notice” and “burn identity” already has his smash
single “Like to party” garnering massive airplay nationwide and has followed
that up with the equally successful “tonight”, the Davido assisted “trumpet”,
the Leriq produced “abeg abeg abeg” and “touch your toes”. The stage is now set
for the headies award “rookie of the year” to introduce us to his unique blend
of afrobeats, reggae, R&B, Dancehall and hip hop which he calls Afrofusion.
Time will tell how much of an impact Burna boy eventually leaves.
10. DURELLA – BACK, BETTER AND BADDER
ALBUMS – KING OF THE
ZANGA (2008), RECONFIGURATED (2010)
ALBUM TITLE – BACK,
BETTER AND BADDER
ALBUM # - 3
LABEL – IKONIC MUSIC
After shrugging off early comparisons with D’banj, carving his own niche
and putting out 2 successful albums, the king of the zanga is back on a new
record label and will be hoping to achieve the mainstream success that has
eluded him so far. Armed with the club banging hit single “club rock, the mash
up with afrobeat king Femi Kuti “back to sender”, the Wizkid assisted “gaga”
Durella has shown that he is clearly better, not to mention the leaked tracks
off the album like “I see you”, “ozo” “ko jo rara”, “Malo moto” & “inbox”. By the time his album finally
drops, we will all know how bad the zangalist has become.
9. NAETO C – TBD
ALBUMS – YOU KNOW MY P
(2008), SUPER C SEASON (2011)
ALBUM TITLE – TBD
ALBUM # - 3
LABEL – STORM RECORDS
If there is one thing Naeto C is good at, it is putting out hit records. Ever since his emergence on the Nigerian hip hop scene with “Kini big deal”, the self proclaimed only Nigerian MC with an MSc has continually pumped out hit after hit and 2012 was no different as the chest thumping “Tony Montana” and its remix which featured D’banj rocketed up the charts. The Hennessey artistry soundtrack “Bartender” featuring MI, the E.kelly produced “Can you do it” & “I gentle” kept his buzz strong while cameos with P Square, Davido, Ms jaie, Morachi & Yungsix did nothing to hurt his cause. With trusted Hitmaker TY Mix tagging along 2013 might yet be another super season for Naeto C.
8. YEMI ALADE - TBD
ALBUMS –
ALBUM TITLE – TBD
ALBUM # - 1
LABEL – EFFYZZIE ENTERTAINMENT
The first question
that comes to mind when people listen to Yemi Alade is…. Where did she come
from? What many fail to realize is that the talented singer won the first
edition of Peak talent show and already had a debut single “fimisile” featuring
Eldee which went under the radar. In 2012
she scored her first major radio hit “ghen ghen love” produced by OJB jezreel
and the follow up singles “uche face”, “bamboo” & “show me” quickly quieted
down the naysayers and dispelled any lingering doubts of her exceptional talent.
With an MI feature in the bag and OJB jezreel manning the boards, the stage is
set for the budding songstress to reach for the sky.
7. WANDE COAL – BLACK
DIAMOND
ALBUMS –MUSHIN 2
MOHITS (2009)
ALBUM TITLE – BLACK
DIAMOND
ALBUM # - 2
LABEL – MAVIN RECORDS
Fresh from the success
of his debut album, it wasn’t long before WC was faced with a stagnated career,
a leaked nude picture, an imploding label, an uncertain future and the
inevitable separation from a brother and friend. They say what doesn’t kill you
makes you stronger, Mohits forgotten man has become Mavins front man. WC has
emerged from all the drama surrounding D’banj’s departure from Mohits fully
focused to recapture his lost glory. With his amazing input on the Mavin compilation
“Solar Plexus”, he managed to re establish his buzz a bit but it was his hit
singles like “Private Trips”, “Go Low”, “Been Long You Saw Me” & “The kick”
that finally repositioned his long awaited sophomore album as one to look
forward to. We hope that by the time his album drops, WC would have been
polished enough by Don Jazzy to enable him shine like the diamond that he truly
is.
6. BANKY W – R&BW
ALBUMS – BACK IN THE
BUILDING (2005), MR CAPABLE (2008), THE W EXPERIENCE (2010)
ALBUM TITLE – R&BW
ALBUM # - 4
LABEL – EMPIRE MATES
ENTERTAINMENT
Rather than revel in
the success of his protégé Wizkid, Banky W immediately started working on his
own album but had to put it aside to build up his EME imprint and establish his
acts which he effectively and successfully did with the release of the “empire
mates state of mind“ album. The album
which spawned hits like “baddest boy”, “dance for me”, “get down tonight” &
“my baby” kept Banky in the loop in 2012. While the album was still moving mad
units and garnering airplay, Banky unleashed 2 new singles “yes/no” produced by
Cobhams and “good good loving” produced by Spellz to compliment the Sarz
produced “get low” and Masterkraft produced “setting p” which he had earlier
released. With a release date of February 14th, it is not so
difficult to see what direction Mr. W is headed.
5. BURNA BOY – L.I.F.E
(LEAVING AN IMPACT FOR ETERNITY)
ALBUMS –
ALBUM TITLE – L.I.F.E
(LEAVING AN IMPACT FOR ETERNITY)
ALBUM # - 1
LABEL – ARISTOKRAT
RECORDS
4. WIZKID – TBD
ALBUMS –
ALBUM TITLE – TBD
ALBUM # - 2
LABEL – EMPIRE MATES
ENTERTAINMENT
Ever since the release
of his highly successful debut album “Superstar”, Wizzy has not let go of his
hold on the Nigerian music industry. With numerous guest appearances blanketing
the airwaves like Lynxxx’s “fine fine lady”, Bigiano’s “chilling”, Durella’s
“gaga” just to name a few, and his
contribution to the outstanding success of the EME compilation album “empire
mates state of mind” in the form of tracks like “baddest boy”, “London girl”
& “dance for me”. Within the space of 2 years, Wizkid has evolved and
become a well rounded artist as can be seen on tracks like “sisi nene”, “azonto
(freestyle)” & the club banging, Sarz produced “Samba (beat of life)”. An
international deal with Akon’s konvict music and a management deal with Tinie
tempah’s disturbing London outfit show that wizzy’s hard work has not been in
vain. Rumors of collaborations with international artists like Chris brown, the
game, Akon & Young jeezy persist and if said rumors eventually become a
reality, it is safe to say that starboy’s brand would go global.
3. IYANYA – IYANYA VS
DESIRE
ALBUMS – MY STORY (2010)
ALBUM TITLE – IYANYA VS DESIRE
ALBUM # - 2
LABEL – MADE MEN MUSIC
GROUP
Despite winning the
maiden edition of MTN project fame in 2008, Iyanya’s debut album “My Story”
failed to catapult him to superstardom. Fast forward to 2012 and Iyanya re
emerged with the scorching hit single “Kukere” accompanied with the etighi
dance style that spread like wild fire across Africa. Months later it went on
to become the most downloaded caller tune in Africa with 3 million downloads.
The highly infectious “Ur Waist” upped the ante and was quickly followed by
“Flavour” & “Kukere (remix)” featuring D’banj. Iyanya’s time has finally
arrived and if his album is anywhere nearly as entertaining as the
scintillating etighi dance he popularized then we will be satisfied.
2. TIWA SAVAGE – TIWA O
NI BAJE
ALBUMS –
ALBUM TITLE – TIWA O NI BAJE
ALBUM # - 1
LABEL – 323
ENTERTAINMENT/MAVIN RECORDS
Never in the history
of Nigerian hip hop has a debut album from a female artiste been this highly anticipated.
The truth is Tiwa is not your average female artiste; she is a super talented singer
and an established song writer. Within the short time she burst onto the scene
with “kele kele love”, she already has a slew of hit singles to her credit
which includes the Don Jazzy produced “without my heart”, the irresistible
“love me, love me, love me”, the love ballad “ife wa gbona” featuring Leo
Wonder, “folarin” & “drummer boy”. The hard working artiste was also
featured on Flavour’s “oyi (remix)”, Olamide’s “international local”, Tosin
Martin’s “champion love”, Ovation red carol theme song “higher”, Hennessey artistry’s “toast to the good life”
and Mavin records compilation “Solar
Plexus”. In a climate unfavorable to female artistes, the first lady of Mavin
records remains a beacon of hope.
1. D’BANJ – MR ENDOWED
ALBUMS – NO LONG THING
(2005), RUNDOWN (2006), ENTERTAINER (2008)
ALBUM TITLE – MR
ENDOWED
ALBUM # - 4
LABEL – DB RECORDS/G.O.O.D
MUSIC/MERCURY RECORDS
After penning a record
deal with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D music in 2011, D,banj went on to have a dramatic
2012 splitting up with long time partner & producer Don Jazzy, setting up
his own record label DB records, featuring on Kanye West’s G.O.O.D music
compilation “Cruel Summer”, winning the MOBO 2012 best African act, getting 4
world music awards nomination, successfully staging koko concert and partnering
with Sony Music Africa. Just as the runaway hit “Mr. endowed” & its remix
which featured Snoop dogg were setting the tone for his album, Ejanla as he
refers to himself these days released the club favorite “Oliver twist“, signed
super producer Jay Sleek to his DB records imprint and dropped “Oyato”. “Bachelor”
& “Cash flow” quickly followed to widespread critical acclaim. As if that
was not enough, he still found time out of his busy schedule to lace Iyanya’s
“kukere (remix)”, Naeto C’s “tony Montana (remix)” and his sibling K Switch’s
“sister caro”. The icing on the cake arrived in the shape of “top of the world”
which became the official supersport anthem for AFCON 2013. Love him or hate him,
D’banj has become the face of African music globally.
