How JaRule, Ashanti’s Performance Stunned Warri

Rapper J Rule and R &B singer, Ashanti have always proved to be
"the best pair" on stage serenading music lovers across
the world. And last Wednesday's
performance was not different as the American superstars kept fun
seekers, in Warri, Delta State,
grooving throughout the night in the spirit of marking the nation's
54th Independence anniversary.

JaRule and Ashanti
The show, "Warri Again", organised by Brownhill Event
Centre, saw a galaxy of Nigerian artistes and comedians sharing the
stage with the international
artistes. It was indeed, a show of
class and glamour as there was no dull moment while it lasted.

Despite the heavy downpour that
almost marred the show, hordes of revellers continued swarming the
event venue to catch a
glimpse of the concert.

Ace-comedian, Ali Baba and songstress, Omawumi, who
anchored the show, were in their best elements, dishing out rib- cracking jokes.
The show kicked off at about 10pm, with Seyi Shay mounting the stage
to thrill the quality audience with her electrifying performance.

Thereafter, reggae-dancehall singer and songwriter, Patoranking took
the floor and rendered his wave-making single
"Girlie O", But when he sang "Alubarika", the audience took to
their heels as they danced to the rhythm of the song.

Iyanya also thrilled the audience with sexy dance steps, just as the
highlife musician, Flavour got a standing ovation after performing
"Ada Ada". Other artistes that gave good accounts of themselves were
Daddy Showkey, Yemi Alade and Orisefemi.

But the turning point of the show was when Ja Rule and
Ashanti appeared on stage. The two set the stage on fire with
their freestyling to the beat of Ashanti's chart-topping hit
"Foolish." Ashanti also had the crowd roaring with her sexual dance
moves and dancehall
whining. It has been more than 13 years since Ashanti's single
"Foolish" was released on her debut album, and the audience still goes
wild as if it were still
fresh.

Ja Rule stayed true to his rap and rhyme, while Ashanti gave her
classic "Ashanti" R&B vocals on the chorus. While their
performance lasted, the elated audience kept standing, shouting and
hailing the artistes. They
proved to their Warri fans that the dawn to dusk wait was not
in vain.
