How Yeni’s Greed Forced Me Out Of Felebration Project—Tunde Laface
The name Tunde Osinibosi might not ring a bell to some people, but Laface will surely do, especially for those conversant with the showbiz industry in Africa.
This Ogun State-born man has contributed immensely to the growth of the entertainment industry in Africa and that is why he is highly respected.
He was the bridge most artistes in Nigeria used to penetrate into the American music industry, which many believe is the world capital of the industry.
The likes of 2Baba, Sound Sultan and many others can never forget the role this easygoing man called Laface played in their careers.
In the Yoruba movie industry, nothing has matched the prestigious Yoruba Movie Academy Awards, YMAA, a platform that made most of the actors to be treated like kings and queens.
Despite these achievements, Laface, for those who know him too well, is a go-getter. He is not resting and now, he is planning a big show for the Hausa movie industry fondly called Kannywood.
Laface spoke with members of the press based in the north recently, when he sealed a deal to stage the Arewa Film Festival & Awards.
For the records and for those who don’t know you kindly introduce yourself
I was born Babatunde Oshinibosi, but popularly known by my brand name Laface. I am from a family of 5 and hails from Ijebu Ode in Ogun State. I attended St Bernadettes Private School, Abeokuta; the great Baptist Academy Lagos; and the Ogun State Polytechnic, Abeokuta, where what has become one of the biggest entertainment brands in Nigeria today started like a common dream.
At Ogun Poly, now known as Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, I became the Social Director of the school unopposed.
I initiated and created Royals Classy Club to rival the legendary Gentlemen’s Club and created a healthy club rivalry. I won several awards for my social exploits and ultimately won the Mr Polytechnic contest. My service year was in Ilorin Kwara State where the show continued with several landmark events as a young serving corper. I later travelled to the UK on another chapter of my growth process.
While in London, I delved straight into the showbiz world bringing back the popular Jeans Carnival Revolution, which went on for years and played a major role in revolutionizing the London club scene before heading back home to Nigeria, the motherland.
How did you get back in the entertainment scene in Nigeria
In the first instance, I came back home because I believed I could play a major role in the continued development of the Nigerian entertainment industry. It all started with the Nigeria Carnival project and the home coming of my friend and sister, Weird MC at the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
What are your major achievements in the Nigerian entertainment industry so far
My brothers, I don know how much time we have but I will try to be as brief as possible. To the almighty God be the glory, I can proudly state the success story of Nigeria’s entertainment industry today cannot be written without the name Laface popping up several times. I was at the forefront of the music revolution in Nigeria with the major international artistes’ revolution after Senator Ben Bruce’s era with the coming of Soul II Soul and Carol Wheller on the Rothmans Mega Grove project. This project was very challenging as no international artist wanted to do business with Nigeria because of the then Abacha regime. I will honestly state that it took the grace of God and strategic planning to make this major turnaround gig happen. The Rothmans Mega Groove turned out to be a landmark event in the evolution of the today’s Nigerian music scene as it broke all records, including major weather challenges as it rained all day, all night and Nigerians; young and old from all works of life like never seen before, defied the odds, queued, bought tickets and partied all night in the pouring rain.
I could not explain what was going on; it only brought back memories of the Glastonbury festival in the UK. The Wyclef Jean concert series, a record breaking international five city back to back tour of Nigeria, other artistes tours in Nigeria and Africa included Joe, Shaggy, the late Lucky Dube, Bennie Man, Drake, Lil Wayne, R Kelly, Akon, Usher, 50cents, Chris Brown, Trey Songs etc.
I created Felabration, the celebration of the great Fela Anikulapo Kuti; the Yoruba Movie Academy Awards, the popular annual celebration of creativity in the Yoruba movie industry and the biggest indigenous awards in the world; the Yoruba New year countdown project and the creation of the Guinness world record breaking tallest traditional gong in the world; the Naija Pidgin Awards, a celebration of our unique pidgin lingo bond,; the Arewa International Film Festival and Awards, the premier and biggest indigenous film festival in Northern Nigeria; the Uniglobe annual Music Extravaganza in Esanland Edo State amongst many others.
What is the major challenge with international artiste tours
The major challenge revolves round the short time frame between the negotiations, travel and actual activation. The concerts are always back to back meaning Lagos today Abuja tomorrow, Port Harcourt the day after as such you are on the road from city to city at a stretch meaning you must have a great team in all the different locations. The margin for failure is so thin, guess you are working under tremendous pressure practically a working time bomb.
One major challenge is funding and sponsorship. For instance, if we had an advance ticketing culture concerts and events will be a major winner any day because we can then rely far less on sponsorship just as it is practiced abroad, but it is good to know that the advance ticket culture is gradually being developed in Nigeria today. Sponsorship is also a key factor as it helps with a large part of the expenses but I must state categorically here that our major brands are not proactive enough, major company’s are known to sponsor crazy ideas abroad but will not be willing to take the same risk in Nigeria.
Any bad experiences on any of your major tours
Truthfully, touch wood it has been great so far because of detailed planning, effective team work, tenacity professionalism above all the blessing of the Almighty. Sincerely, you will always come across some hiccups due to the Nigerian factor. There are so many things that can go horribly wrong with events in Nigeria. A good example was the 50 cents concert series that went pear shaped. The client, the agency, the artistes (international and Nigerian), the brand, the consumers etc were all affected. The job is not about whether or not you tried your best, you don’t get paid as a top professional for trying, you get paid for getting it right over and over again.
Which of your projects has been the most challenging so far
I will say they have all been challenging in different ways but the Wyclef Jean concert series stands out as it was a turning point for a whole lot of Nigerian artists and the growth of the entertainment industry in Nigeria today breaking all records; it was the very first and only time to-date that an international artist did 5 back to back shows in Nigeria. It was the very first time that Nigerian artists were accorded there dues and treated like real stars. I was very particular about the benefits to the overall development of the Nigerian artists.
Wyclef, in his true magnanimity, recorded a track and shot a video during the tour featuring 2Face, FaZe, Sound Sultan amongst others. This record breaking feat has not been surpassed till date. All the artists travelled with and mingled with clef all through the tour there was no segregation whatsoever because I was bent on proving a point. Also for the first time in Nigeria, an international artist left the Island to a club in Ikeja, believe me, Clef shut Ikeja down without any prior notice. After the last gig in Abuja, we planned to attend 10 after parties but guess what, disappointingly, we could not attend any. We were all exhausted after five back to back crazy energy sapping sold out gigs.
Clef went back stage and slept off totally exhausted. Believe me, the soul was willing, but the body was shattered. It was indeed an experience, the turning point for today’s music Industry and the future.
How many other tours have you done across Africa
Laface has become a major brand across Africa from Shaggy in Kenya, Wyclef in Uganda, Rwanda, Botswana, Ethiopia, 50 Cents, Drake, Lil Wayne, Snoop, Usher, Joe, Lucky Dube in Senegal, Burundi amongst so many others. I have also worked with a lot of Nigerian artists across Nigeria, Africa and the Diaspora.
How lucrative is the international artist business today
Yea, it is still very lucrative, but not in the Nigerian scene because some Nigerians in the name of money laundering got into the business and messed it all up. They drove the price ridiculously high with international artistes being paid well over and above their worth; i.e. an artist that is worth $30,000 in America being paid $200,000 to perform in Nigeria. My brother, this is definitely way over board.
How do you see the music Industry today
I am very happy to say that I have played a major role and contributed my quota to the overall development of today’s music Industry. It is great, I am happy with the influx of new trends as we have taken over Africa and set to conquer the world but the piracy virus is still a major issue. It is also great to know that artists are commanding good money right now. I am proud to say that I played a major role in that great revolution that is unfolding before our eyes today. It is also on record that the history of the music industry in Nigeria cannot be written without the name Laface popping up over and over again; that gives me great joy.
What actually caused the fallout on Felabration
My brother, (laughs), I must say I appreciate the fact that this question will never go away. It actually means that a lot of people are concerned about the truth, no matter the propaganda and lies peddled about. When a man goes over board to propagate the life of the legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti as such turning a dream into reality, it calls for a standing ovation. The wahala was caused by simple greed on the path of Yeni in particular. A lawyer cousin of theirs wanted to get paid 350k for not doing anything and I personally kicked vehemently against it.
It is on record that I coined and created the name Felabration and I went round begging artistes, friends, media stations etc to support the project for free. It is also on record that for the first time, AIT promoted an event for six months and Yeni failed to honour their percentage of the agreement. This was to me not honourable. I believe your word should always be your bond, the most important fact is that the true history of Felabration cannot be written without the name of the original originator, Laface being mentioned again and again. Believe me, it is also on record that I begged and convinced Seun Kuti in his magnanimity to be a part of Felabration. The Felabration brouhaha also divided the Nigerian press for over six months for record purposes.
Did you register Felabration
Great question. How do you go ahead to singularly register a company that you are involved in with other people? There has to be a level of trust, guess I was wrong. Anyway, I be Fela disciple like many others all over the world, but I no be Fela pikin make we allow the abami eda rest in perfect peace o jare
What major projects have you undertaken in last couple of years
The focus in the last couple of years has shifted towards exploring other entertainment initiatives across Nigeria, Africa and the Diaspora. I delved into the Yoruba movie industry creating the Yoruba Movie Academy Awards project, transforming it into the most glamorous indigenous awards in the world. The event, in collaboration with the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN Commission), has been held in Ogun, Oyo and Osun States in the last four years. Another major brand developed is the Naija Pigin Awards, a celebration of our unique lingo pigin English, while presently I am at the forefront of initiating the maiden edition of Arewa International Film Festival & Awards, a project targeting youth empowerment, job creation and culture and tourism development across the Northern region. The annual Uniglobe Music fiesta in Edo State has also been a major focus.
Why the Yoruba movie industry
Like a whole lot of people, you may not be aware that I am a first and foremost a Yoruba man with a Nigeria mindset, meaning I am a crossover Nigerian. After building so many brands, it became imperative to leave a legacy for the future. As a major entertainment brand and of the Yoruba race, I needed to contribute my own quota to the continued development of the Yoruba movie industry. We cannot all sit on the fence; I must state categorically that I made that call against all odds. I must emphatically express my disappointment with the level of support of the Governors in the Southwest towards the development of the Yoruba movie industry; they only seem to appreciate the industry during political campaigns when they are needed to pull the crowds in. Believe me, this idea must stop. I am happy that the oil madness is over, we must give kudos to visionary leaders like Donald Duke across party lines, he foresaw the future of oil and entertainment with the creation of the Calabar Carnival over 12 years ago.
Let’s all wait and see what the future holds for youth employment and job creation across Nigeria today aside from agriculture and the creative industry. Hopefully, they will now deem it fit to deal with the piracy virus once and for all.
You have been in Northern Nigeria for a while now, what are you up to
I have always looked at the development of the Kannywood industry in line with its profound similarities with the great Bollywood. I have travelled far and wide across the North and forged major synergies with major stakeholders in the Kannywood film industry and media organizations across Northern Nigeria to take the Kannywood to the next level with the introduction of the first ever film festival across Northern Nigeria. The Arewa International Film Festival & Awards is a celebration of film and creativity in the Arewa film industry with national and international collaborations with the Indian government. Bollywood, Nollywood and the Yoruba film industry with the ultimate aim of taking the industry to the next level along Kannywood guidelines.
What is your advice to industry new comers as a showbiz impresario
There is a great need for self believe, hard work, continued creativity, willingness to make sacrifices and a lot of luck above all be blessing of the almighty.
How’s your family
They are doing great considering I am on the road most of the time. I thank God I am blessed with a beautiful understanding wife and son, Wyclef Tamilore Oshinibosi, who was born around the time I did the Wyclef tour in Nigeria and as a child had a special bond with the great music icon Wyclef Jean and he has in the course of duty also met a whole lot of international and Nigerian stars.
Is your son Tamilore interested in the entertainment industry
It is entirely up to him to decide where his interest lies, but I will always be there to support him. At the moment, I take him on the road when he is on school break as my PA. He has notably organized his birthdays from the age of 7, guess he has my genes.
Are you fulfilled career wise
I thank the Almighty God for my life, my family, great health amongst others and the fact that I have made history and broken records in my chosen career over and over again the fact that the history of the entertainment industry in Nigeria cannot be written without the name Laface coming up again and again makes me fulfilled but as a creative showbiz person. It is not over until it’s over meaning the show must go on and on
Is it true that the that the success of the Wyclef concert caused the failure of the 50 Cents concert
My brother, yes most definitely, but guess what? that is a another story for another good day.
A great deal of creative work fails before it ever becomes visible. The lyric stays in a notes app. The campaign concept remains a vague mood board. The video edit waits for a soundtrack that never arrives. The product teaser feels almost finished but emotionally incomplete. In many of these cases, the problem is not lack of imagination. It is the difficulty of testing direction quickly enough. People can often describe what they want more easily than they can produce it. That is why an AI Music Generator has become valuable far beyond entertainment. It helps creators test whether an idea actually works in sound.
This is a better way to understand the rise of music AI. The category is not only about replacing production. It is about accelerating evaluation. A creator with a vague concept can now ask for several musical directions and compare how each one changes the feel of the project. A lyric writer can hear whether a phrase holds up melodically. A marketer can judge whether a launch video should sound cinematic, calm, urgent, or playful. A small team can move from mood assumptions to audible evidence much faster than before.
When music AI is treated as a tool for testing direction, ToMusic deserves the first position in a top-ten ranking. The platform is not simply about output. It is about interpretability. It gives users a visible path from prompt or lyrics to song creation, offers multiple model choices, supports an instrumental option, and keeps the process close to how people naturally think about ideas. That combination matters because it lowers the friction of creative testing. In that sense, Text to Music is not only a feature category. It is a decision-making tool for modern creators.
Why Creative Direction Matters More Than Pure Output
Many AI music discussions focus too heavily on the final sound. That misses the earlier stage where most value appears.
Creative work begins with uncertainty
At the start of a project, people often do not know exactly what they want. They know the feeling they are aiming for, but not yet the best execution.
Hearing options clarifies ideas faster than imagining them
It is easier to compare two concrete musical versions than to compare two abstract mental possibilities. AI makes those comparisons cheaper and faster.
Direction testing is useful even when the track is not final
A generated result can still be highly valuable if it tells the user what to change next. Not every output needs to be the finished piece in order to be useful.
The best platforms reduce the cost of exploration
The more easily a tool helps users test another direction, the more practical it becomes in everyday work.
The Ten Best Music AI Platforms for Direction Testing
This ranking focuses on which platforms help users hear, compare, and refine creative directions most effectively.
| Rank | Platform | Best Direction Testing Strength | Best Use Case | Main Limitation |
| 1 | ToMusic | Clear movement from prompt or lyrics to testable output | Broad creator use, from songs to instrumentals | Still depends on the quality of the brief |
| 2 | Suno | Fast comparison of complete song ideas | Immediate full-song testing | Sometimes broad rather than precisely targeted |
| 3 | Udio | Strong feel for alternate musical interpretations | Creative exploration and stylistic testing | Often rewards more patient steering |
| 4 | SOUNDRAW | Quick testing of background music tone | Creator content and media scoring | Less central for lyric-driven songs |
| 5 | Beatoven | Mood comparison for visual projects | Video and podcast emotional framing | Narrower than song-first platforms |
| 6 | Mubert | Rapid utility-based soundtrack trials | Social and commercial content | More functional than emotionally nuanced |
| 7 | AIVA | Structured compositional direction testing | Soundtrack and arrangement-minded users | Less instantly approachable |
| 8 | Loudly | Creator workflow experimentation | Broader creator ecosystem use | Can feel less focused at first touch |
| 9 | Boomy | Easy first tests for non-musicians | Beginner experimentation | Lower ceiling for deep control |
| 10 | Musicfy | Vocal style and voice direction testing | Voice-centered projects | More specialized than all-purpose |
Why ToMusic Is the Strongest First Recommendation
ToMusic ranks first because it does more than generate music. It helps users organize uncertain ideas into a workable creative process.
It accepts multiple kinds of intent
Some people want to test a lyrical idea. Some want to test mood. Some want to know whether an instrumental version will serve the project better than a vocal one. ToMusic supports all of these without forcing users into a single rigid input style.
It makes the creative choices legible
A product becomes easier to trust when the user can see what it is asking for. ToMusic’s visible modes, model choices, and input paths reduce confusion and make experimentation more deliberate.
It turns early ambiguity into audible comparison
This is perhaps its most practical strength. A user can start with a basic direction, hear the result, identify what feels off, and then refine from there. That is how real creative work usually develops.
Its balance gives it broader relevance
A specialist platform can be excellent in one narrow task. ToMusic’s advantage is that it handles several adjacent tasks well enough to remain useful across different kinds of projects.
How the Other Platforms Fit This Same Goal
A top ranking is more credible when the alternatives are understood accurately.
Suno is extremely useful when speed is the main need
If a user wants a complete sounding draft quickly, Suno remains one of the most accessible choices. It is especially useful when the purpose is to judge direction rather than to finalize detail immediately.
Udio is strong for users who enjoy refinement
Some creators want more than a quick answer. They want a platform that invites comparison and iterative musical shaping. Udio often attracts those users.
SOUNDRAW and Beatoven work best when music supports something else
These tools become especially valuable when the music is serving a video, podcast, or commercial asset. In those cases, the question is often not “Is this a great song?” but “Does this create the right atmosphere?”
Mubert is practical when turnaround matters most
For creators who need speed across many assets, a utility-first platform can be a better fit than a tool centered on songwriting or emotional nuance.
The lower-ranked tools still matter in specific scenarios
AIVA, Loudly, Boomy, and Musicfy each remain relevant when their narrower strengths match the task. The ranking is not about dismissal. It is about general usefulness across a broad set of creative tests.
The Official ToMusic Workflow as a Direction Testing Loop
One reason ToMusic ranks first is that its official flow is already aligned with the way people test ideas.
Step 1. Choose the creation route
Users begin by selecting a simpler or more custom path and then choose the model that suits the kind of result they want.
Step 2. Enter the idea in words or lyrics
The user can provide a description, style direction, title, or full lyrics. If vocals are not needed, instrumental mode is available.
Step 3. Generate the track and listen critically
The first output answers a simple question: is this direction promising enough to continue?
Step 4. Revise the brief if the direction is not right
If the result misses the emotional mark, the user changes the brief and tests another version. That cycle is the core of the product’s practical value.
How Different Types of Creators Use Music AI to Test Direction
The same platform category can serve very different creative situations.
Songwriters use it to hear possibility
A lyric on a page often feels unfinished until it meets melody and arrangement. AI tools help writers find out whether a phrase carries emotional weight in performance.
Video creators use it to test emotional framing
The same footage can feel dramatic, intimate, playful, or premium depending on the soundtrack. Music AI makes those comparisons much faster.
Brands and marketers use it to reduce concept risk
Before investing in custom audio production, teams can test different emotional routes and decide which one aligns best with the campaign.
Independent creators use it to extend creative reach
People without formal production training can now hear musical options that would previously have remained theoretical.
Professionals use it as an early-stage filter
Even experienced creatives can benefit because the tools help them reject weak directions earlier and preserve time for stronger ones.
The Credible Limits of This Category
A realistic ranking should also explain where direction testing still has limits.
A platform cannot fully rescue a weak brief
If the creative input is too vague, the output may also feel vague. Clear intent still matters.
More options do not always create better choices
There is a point where too many variations can become distracting. Good users still need taste and selection discipline.
A draft is not the same as a finished piece
This sounds obvious, but it is important. The value of AI often appears before final production, not only at the point of release.
Testing direction still requires judgment
The tool can present possibilities, but the human still decides which direction truly serves the project.
Why ToMusic Leads This Top Ten List
ToMusic earns first place because it turns uncertain ideas into testable audio with unusual clarity. It supports both descriptive prompting and lyric-driven input. It offers multiple model paths instead of forcing every task through one system. It includes an instrumental route, which expands its usefulness well beyond full vocal songs. And most importantly, it makes the workflow easy to understand at the moment when users are still deciding whether their idea is worth pursuing.
That does not mean every competitor is weak. Suno remains a powerful recommendation for users who want immediate full-song outputs. Udio is attractive for people who enjoy deeper exploration of musical feel. SOUNDRAW, Beatoven, and Mubert are all very sensible choices when the assignment is media-first rather than song-first. AIVA, Loudly, Boomy, and Musicfy each make sense when their specialty aligns with the task.
But when the question is which platform best helps a broad range of creators test direction quickly, clearly, and repeatedly, ToMusic stands above the others. It meets users at the earliest stage of creation, where uncertainty is highest and decision value is greatest. In that stage, speed alone is not enough. Clarity matters. Flexibility matters. Interpretability matters. That is why ToMusic deserves the first position here.
The broader lesson is that music AI is becoming most valuable not where it imitates finished production most perfectly, but where it helps creators think in sound sooner. Once that happens, ideas stop waiting in silence. They become something a person can hear, compare, reject, improve, or move forward with. That shift is larger than novelty. It is a new way of making creative judgment practical.
As anticipation builds for the 12th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards(AMVCA), the conversation has officially shifted from speculation to action. With nominees unveiled and voting now open, this year’s awards are shaping up to be one of the most competitive and expansive yet, featuring a record number of films and talent from across the continent. From established stars to emerging voices in African cinema, the AMVCA continues to celebrate excellence in storytelling, technical craft, and cultural impact, reinforcing its position as one of the most influential platforms for African creativity.
Host & Jury:
While the official host for the main awards night is yet to be confirmed, the nominations announcement was led by Chimezie Imo, offering a first glimpse into the tone of this year’s event. On the adjudication side, veteran actress Joke Silva leads as Head of Jury. Her role underscores the awards’ continued emphasis on credibility, with a panel tasked with evaluating technical excellence, storytelling depth, and overall craft across non-voting categories.
Voting: How It Works
One of the defining features of the AMVCAs is its hybrid voting system, and 2026 is no exception. Out of the total 32 categories, 11 are open to public voting, giving audiences a direct role in deciding key outcomes, while 18 categories are determined by the jury alongside special recognition honours. Voting is conducted through the official Africa Magic platform, where registered users can select their preferred nominees and cast up to 100 votes per platform.
Voting for this year officially opened on March 29, 2026, giving audiences enough time to vote for their favourites. The window will close on April 26, 2026, after which attention shifts to the main awards night, scheduled for May 9, 2026.
Leading Names & Notable First‑Timers
This year’s nominations reveal clear frontrunners. Films like The Herd, Gingerrr, and My Father’s Shadow lead the nominations, highlighting a rising preference for ambitious, high-concept storytelling. Actor Lateef Adedimeji stands out with three nominations, making him the most nominated actor for the year, highlighting his range across both lead and supporting roles.
The 2026 list also includes notable first‑time nominees. Popular Content Creator and actress Kidaby earned her first nomination for her performance in Oversabi Aunty, and Ariyike Owolagba received her first nod for her role in Something About the Briggs, signalling the emergence of new talent within the industry.
In addition to competitive categories, the awards will present special recognition honours, such as the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Trailblazer Award, acknowledging industry veterans and breakthrough achievements.
What Feels Different This Year
Beyond the usual red carpet glamour and viral moments, AMVCA 2026 reflects a broader shift in focus. There is more intentional representation across the continent, with categories such as Best Indigenous Language (North Africa and Central Africa) highlighting a wider African storytelling ecosystem, rather than the usual strongholds. This signals a deliberate push to capture the continent’s linguistic and cultural diversity.
This edition represents a significant milestone for the industry, with Diageo featuring brands like Guinness serving as the full portfolio sponsor, while premium tequila brand Don Julio headlines as the main sponsor. Their involvement highlights AMVCA’s expanding role as a premier celebration of African creativity.
AMVCA 2026 is more than just another awards season; it shows the current pulse of African cinema. From how voting is structured, to the jury making the calls, to the wide range of nominated films and emerging talent, it’s clear the industry is evolving: more inclusive, more participatory, and shaped as much by audiences as by creators.
With voting now open, the results won’t just reflect the opinions of industry experts; they will also carry the voice of viewers from across the continent, making this year’s awards truly a celebration of African storytelling.
