exclusive:RUGGEDMAN interviews 9ICE on 'nodding' controversy.

  THIS INTERVIEW WAS EXCLUSIVELY PUBLISHED IN MY COLUM IN ENCOMIUM MAGAZINE BEFORE IT HIT THE INTERNET AND OTHER AIRWAVES.

                           

if this is a publicity stunt,9ices song 'one bitten twice shy''is certainly
getting all the attention it wants,if it is not a publicity stunt then so be it.
the song which is causing all the brouhaha indirectly refers to a lover the crooner
caught givng his friend 'nodding'(also referred to as felatio)and then the rumour
hit town that the supposed friend is rapper ruggedman and the lover is 9ices estranged
wife tonipayne.
both ruggedman and tonipayne have spent time on the internet responding to queries
and explaining to people that they were not the ones 9ice referred to but people are asking why 9ice is not the one doing the explaining.tonipayne
even wrote on her wall on facebook ''God will judge whoever started all this rumour''

9ice on the other hand was not forthcoming with quenching the fire caused by his song.
so traumatized was ruggedman that he had to call up 9ice and conduct his first ever
interview...its a question and answer session with some small arguements but i find it
really hilarious and had a good laugh transcribing it.
heres presenting to you a celebritys first ever interview to clear the air and its so unique
that it is conducted in pidgin english so that everyone can understand it..enjoy!

(i forgot to add that this controversy has gained so much publicity that instead of saying
no shaking,no long thing,people now say'no nodding'):

Ruggedman tells STELLA DIMOKO-KORKUS ''i had to conduct this interview to clear my name,i had to do it when i saw he was not forthcoming and i cannot stand the way people look at me these days.
its a dog eat dog situation''!
