Stars wow @ Guinness 250 anniversary groove

It was celebration galore for fun seekers as Guinness Nigeria Plc joined its counterparts globally to celebrate the 250 years of the great brand at the Oceanview ground, Victoria Island, Lagos, recently.
Led by a pack of top – rated Nigerian artistes, and ably complemented by the multiple awards winning Jamaican born king of dance hall, Sean Paul, the event was nearly marred by a crisis of interest between Sean Paul and 2 Face Idibia. The crisis, which started from the backstage, was blown open by the duo of Psquare, who openly told the excited crowd that the organizers of the event didn’t want Idibia to perform. The announcement elicited angry reactions from the crowd, who started hurling canned beverages and plastic bottled water on the stage. In fact, all efforts to pacify them by the show’s anchor and disc jockey, Basketmouth and Jimmy Jatt respectively, proved abortive. After the shocking announcement, the duo of Psquare, angrily left the stage, thus paving the way for many guests to also leave the venue angrily. The organizers, who eventually brought Idibia back to perform, before Sean Paul, finally resolved the ugly scenario, which lasted for over an hour.
However, prior to the above drama, the crowd hardly had any form of dull moment, as cerebral comedian and one of the hottest in Nigeria, Basket Mouth took the loyal consumers of Guinness to high level of rib cracking jokes.
First to grace the stage was Africa’s number one Disc Jockey, DJ Jimmy Jatt, who thrilled the crowd endlessly from his wheel of steel.
Next on stage was emerging rap crooner, Mister Incredible popularly called MI. He did not fail in his bit as he rapped the crowd to a cloud of ecstasy. As MI was departing, the crowd was given a feel of the Dublin concert with a video of British artiste, Estelle, performing.
He was immediately followed by Wande Coal, the newest sensation from the Mo’Hits entertainment crew who performed with so much dexterity to the excitement of the crowd. Wande Coal ended his performance when Natalie Imbruglia was thrilling the crowd live in Brooklyn, via live telecast through the large multimedia screens mounted on the stage
The Bar of the worldwide celebration, was raised when one of the hottest performing artistes, D’Banj, took the excitement to an ecstatic level with his glowing stage artistry. The Koko Master, who has mastered the art of stage entertainment with his unique style of performance kept the crowd screaming and shouting with excitement as he gave one rendition after another with songs from his all time bests.
The level of fun and excitement sky-rocketed when one of the hottest artistes in Nigeria, and MTV BASE award winner, Idibia, mounted the stage alongside Nigeria’s dynamic duo of Psquare, they expanded the frontiers of excitement at the event.
Their Performance was however pepped up as Sound Sultan; another Nigerian artiste who was not originally billed to perform in the much-publicized Guinness 250 concert mounted the stage to complement in the stage collabo of the greatest acts of Nigeria.
The much awaited Jamaican born dancehall King Sean Paul stormed the stage in the company of three hotly dressed female dancers to a tumultuous scream from the crowd after, which he performed songs from his recent album before taking the crowd on a rendition of some of his most successful hits with song like ‘Still In Love’ and ‘Get Busy’.
His performance, coupled with artistry display of his sumptuously dressed female dancers got the crowd excited as they partied into the wee hours of the night. Another plus to the event was the firework, which sparkled into the air, to the admiration of all.
