[Interview]:Goldie's husband, Andrew Harvey, opens up about the late singer
Goldie's husband opened up to Thenetng.com. Read the interview below...
It would have been disappointing if drama did not follow her death. Goldie, the unpredictable Goldie is pulling surprises even in death.
Just last night, a man believed to be her husband emerged, posting intimate pictures on Facebook, sharing same on her twitter handle, and engaging with several curious fans (he even issued a warning to Prezzo, the man many of us have come to know as the late singer’s bonafide partner).
There were rumours she may have been married or involved with an expatriate, but no one could confirm during her lifetime. But what was hidden for years tore the lid and came out last night, with the startling revelation by the man whose name is Andrew. Andrew Harvey.
While still mourning his wife and preparing to come to Lagos, he was kind enough to speak exclusively with Nigerian Entertainment Today…
So sorry about your loss. And so sorry to be contacting you under this circumstance. Nigerians are shocked to discover, through your FB post, that Goldie was married. I’m wondering if you’ll able to give me more details, and if we can have your permission to print some of the photos in the folder ‘Memories of my darling wife’?
You may print the photos, as for the details it really depends on what it is you’re looking for
Thanks Andrew. Just to clarify a few things
Like?
When did you wed her? And were you still married as at when she passed yesterday?
We wed in December 2005 and were very much married when she passed indeed I was talking to her on arrival in Lagos before the fateful event
I see you moved back to England. Do you have another family?
I work in Malaysia, we have a private home in UK, I do not have a second family
Also did you have kids together?
No kids, we were planning this year
There had been speculation for many years that she was married to an ‘oyinbo’ man. But no one could lay hands on anything. Why did you keep it a ‘secret’?
Our private life is nothing to do with work life, there has to be a balance
How did you hear of her death? I found out you last saw her in December?
I was talking to her on arrival in Lagos before the fateful event
How did you meet her? She must have been very young…
I met her at a friend’s leaving party and fell in love straight away, but had to work hard to persuade her I was genuine
So you will be planning to come here for burial rites…
Yes I have applied for visa and shall come next week
But how did you manage the Prezzo drama?
Prezzo was part of BBA game, just like in the movies, there was nothing to fear
But funny it dragged way beyond BBA
It dragged because the media dragged it, other wise it would have died naturally. Prezzo will say anything to get attention
Do you think he fell in love? And did you ever think Susan liked him for a minute…?
People fall in love and it’s not impossible to love more than one person, but there are different levels. She liked him initially, but began to despise him and distanced herself as he tried to use her she complained he was very manipulative
How did you come about your alias ‘Oyibopeppay?
Oyiiibopeppay is a name used in the villages for white man getting burned in the sun. I used to work in the bush erecting BTS for MTN and Glo
You have direct access to her password? The memories album was posted on her twitter. Or you requested for an admin to post?
I am an official admin. I don’t need any password but my own. It was authorised by Goldie
One last question: so much speculation on cause of death. I see from your facebook timeline that you’ve followed the reports. Have the doctors/family/label told you what the cause of death is?
An autopsy is being carried out and we will await results. The rest is speculation and hearsay
And did she have any medical condition?
She had no medical condition,
Is it true she was in India recently?
She was in Malaysia, we spent Christmas together away from prying eyes
What will you miss most about her?
Everything, she was the most beautiful person I ever met, no moment was wasted. Sweet, intelligent, sexy and a magnificent cook!!!!
And she was a determined young lady…
Very. That’s what I liked about her
Are you originally from England? Was she officially a citizen of your country by marriage? Or that was not concluded?
I’m from England and was processing Nigerian citizenship before I was transferred to Malaysia. Of
course she was citizen of UK before we met, she lived and schooled there
She was indeed a star, as I’m sure you’ve seen from the tributes coming from far and near.
Even the BBC and Billboard recognise her star
Yes we saw it on BBC news tonight. It is a devastating loss, but I support just as much wherever she has gone to.
May her soul rest in peace

There was never any incident, just the full love of music made me venture and at d early stage I took it for joke before it started fetching me money.
How Would you describe your style of music production?
I do strictly POP music. Don't mistake it, Check the meaning of POP music( Popular Music). Music that are widely accepted by various and numerous people of all category. So every song I do has an effect on General Masses day to day lifestyle.

Mainly I Really don't know Physically speaking, But I believe its God because I never had an official Training for what I do... Man Make Plans But God Disposes.
2012 was a year of controversy for you...Can U Pls Clear The Air?
There's really nothing to say, but I'm a human being, so I am entitled to have my own emotions and and issues. But people should learn to mind their business. Bankers and other professionals go for divorce, but you will never see it on the pages of the newspapers.
And they also marry , but men should marry a woman who will aide Greatness and Success to there Career, like you all know that have maintained a cool key Untill the Strange Woman Arrived my World and tried all she could physically and spiritually to collapse my Empire. But any Foundation not Put by God will fall, with dis I double belive God built my Foundation. So in all she's My Past and the Son she says she has for me will surely 1day maybe even 20yrs 4rm now will find his Father but sad he might be in 2nd Class due to his Mothers Lifestyle.
Yet Let people keep talking while k-solo continue to make money. As far as I'm concerned, Nigeria has bigger problems that we all need to focus on. We have issues of oil, flood, kidnapping, Boko Haram and all that. We have the Niger Delta and amnesty issues to deal with. I'm surprised people are still busy talking about whose home is breaking up and whose home is not breaking up. As far as I'm concerned, I'm living my life happily. Am sure her son is happy where ever he is Life is about ups and downs. People get married and divorce for reasons best known to them, so people should celebrate the main reason they knew the name K-SOLO.
Could recount your most embarrassing experience with a fan?
I got a female fans that sent her Boobs Marked I Love K-SOLO.
Looking @ urself now would you say its a little boy's dream playing out in reality?
Yes I swear, thank God am learnered, so I could make money out of the little dream.
There are speculations that most celebrities are snobbish,Are you also a snob?
Kooo Jooor, I read my pings, I reply tweets, I host fans occasionally.
What your Unique. Selling point?
Don't really know how to say this, but Beauty Lye's In The Eyes Of The Beholder. I simple convey the Gospel of Reality.

Would love to be a Doctor though I graduated as a Elect Engineer. But if am not doing Music will be doing Music.
What should your fans be expecting from you soonest?

[Interview] : Omawumi Explains Bottom Belle, Kokoma as She Drops Stay Alive
One of Nigeria’s prolific singers, Omawumi is no doubt doing well in her chosen career and doing Nigeria proud. Not relenting on her oars after the great success recorded by her last single, Bottom Belle, the singer spoke exclusively to Seun Apara few days back concerning her oncoming new single that will dropping before the end this month, her performance at the CAF event and meanings of Kokoma & Bottom Belle that has caused heated arguments in different quarters.
What should be our expectations regarding the new single you are about to drop?
I have always been very unpredictable. I at all times put out what marvels the people. The way to do it with our music industry is that when you release a single, you release another single that sounds like the first one, so that the leverage that you have from the first one will carry on, but that's not my style. My style is to make good music because I am a music lover. Anytime I enter the studio, I deliver anything that comes to my head as long as it is good music. That's how I have always being. Now that people have heard 'bottom belle', don't expect to hear another highlife song because before 'Bottom Belle', you heard a 70's classic song called 'If You Ask Me'. So if you are expecting to hear something like Bottom Belle, I'm sorry because it is something totally different.
What do you intend to achieve with the new single?
Well, my new track called 'Stay Alive’ (Jeje Laye) is still a build up to my second album, but what I hope to achieve from it is the gospel of the music, what I am saying in the song. What I am saying in the song is you need to just relax and take things easy because some people don't. Every day, you see people trying to acquire wealth or get to a level where they can forget their troubles. But the thing about it is that you just need to slow down a little. As long as you have the basic requirements of the three square meals, try to stay alive and be concerned about your well being before you concentrate on acquiring wealth.
What is the title of your track?
What could you remember from your recent performance in South-Africa?
It was a fantastic opportunity and I didn't believe that I will get that kind of leverage that I got. I performed alongside Mafiki Solo, a very big band in South Africa. I admire their music and for me to have the opportunity to perform on stage with them, is a big thing for me. I remember I used to save 1,500naira to buy their CD because they don't sell their CDs in the normal market. It was a privilege to me and aside from that, to be able to perform in the presence of the president of South Africa, CAF president and other big shots.
What do you think makes your music different from other artistes?
Well, I think it has to do with God. I can't attribute anything to myself. Sometimes, I might wake up and tell you this is how I'll do my music to come out good, but I realize it doesn't have anything to do with me. It is just the hand of God in my life because I am not the best vocalist in the world nor in my country but when I come out and I sing, there is a kind of respect and acknowledgement that I get. My music is relatable, it has nothing to do with me, it’s just the hand of God.
Basically, when are you releasing the album?
I was tempted too by my manager, Mr. Sundeay Are. He was troubling me that I must release an album, but the thing about it is that I feel my fans and listeners deserves a lot more. It is not that he doesn't want the best for me, he does, but I need to be able to bring out something fantastic. All I am begging for is a little time, my album is almost ready. Now it might get to the stage where all the songs in my album are going to come out free of charge, but I just need time to be able to pass the message I need to pass across because they are only like a few channel for people to get my messages or get inspiration. In Nigeria these days, not many people talk about what really happens in real life, now I have the opportunity to do that. So, I need a little bit of time because there is a message I am passing across.
Your videos come with different interpretations, what should we expect from this new one?
I can tell you that it's going to be different. It is just a total interpretation of who I am.
Basically, the word ‘Kokoma’, what does it mean?
I came back from America with my daughter when she was about two and half months or three months. My mum was with me for about four months to take care of the baby. When my mum was with me, I used to sing 'Omawumi's baby, Grandma Warri's baby, Grandma Lekki's baby', and so on. Kokoma is like a drum beat or dance style of highlife that could be related to Ghanaian highlife in the 60's or 70's. When my mum cooks, that's what they sing- 'kokoma, I stand by, Adebisi Konga'. Adebisi konga is the name of a guy that used to play drums, his name was Adebisi, but we call him 'Adebisi Konga'. Then before I released the song, my mum used to sing the song. When the producer of 'Bottom Belle' called me that he's taking the song to Flavour and that he needs me to come out with something different because Flavour will surely bring in his own style. We did it and the song became a hit. Now, a lot of people enjoy the music, from six months to 10 years old. That's satisfaction to me.
What is 'Bottom Belle' itself?
Bottom Belle! I get tired of answering that question because everybody has the idea that it might be the bottom of the belle. The song was originally done by Victor Olaiya. I got ideas from him and a couple of other artistes. Basically, I wrote it in my concept because it was released in the 60's, 70's and then bell bottoms were in vogue. A woman will tell me buy me bottom belle, give me bottom belle to cool my heart. Then the in-thing was bell bottom trouser. So when they tell you give me bottom belle or buy me bottom belle, it means buy me bell bottom trouser, so that I will feel among and be happy. Bottom Belle in my own concept means going the extra mile to make your woman happy.
