UPDATE 2.13pm: I just spoke to Scott Boogie and he was the most wonderful professional that just loves what he does. We chatted about music, artists and Estelle. That interview was something that was quickly done by Warner. It wasn't really planned that far ahead and I know how those go in the industry. Boogie also chatted with me about his upcoming urban TV reality show and even told me he was a "honorary Nigerian" mentioning some of the favorite meals I cook back home. Stay tuned for the reality show! BTW, Warner music just told me that Estelle is coming back to Toronto.12.45pm: The First Lady of hip-hop news in Canada was dissing Flow 93.5FM's Scott Boogie for not letting me know that he sat down and probably dined with R&B singer Estelle in Toronto this past Saturday night. She said "American Boy" not Canadian Boy? However I was over at Canadian Idol and he probably thought I was very busy. When are we going to hear that audio which is still not yet on the Flow site.
