Darey Meets George Bush

Singer Darey Art Alade is releasing his first US album in a matter of weeks. And, as these pictures obtained by NET show, the gifted musician is already getting ready to mingle with America’s high and mighty. No, not just the Jay Zs and Beyonces and Kanye Wests. How about dinner with George Bush, and a breakfast meeting with President Obama?

Darey co-hosted the THISDAY awards in Abuja, yesterday, and took time to pose and chat with Mr Bush and former US Secretary of state Condoleezza Rice.

'I hear you're coming to America; call me when you arrive, OK?' George Bush seems to be telling Darey

 

Darey was co-host (along with Sade Baderinwa) at the THISDAY Nigeria at 50 awards, held yesterday at the THISDAY Dome in Abuja. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and immediate past Ghanaian president John Kuffour were also in attendance. Others guests included Aliko Dangote, Adams Oshiomole, Donald Duke, Dele Momodu and former Nigerian Heads of State  Shehu Shagari and Muhamadu Buhari.

It was also  at the THISDAY awards last year, that Darey met Bill Clinton.

Sources say Darey’s label Soul Muzik (Chaired by Dick Griffey of SOLAR records fame) plans to release his first US album before mid-year.

    what does this have to do with anything.so he met them at Thisday awards and so? Are they in charge of the American music industry abi is he going to e-mail the American industry chiefs his pictures with them?

    I have a picture with Obama does that mean I can sashay into the white house?

    abeg…please stop insulting my intelligence. The NETNG your work is usually solid, but this post is bad journalism.

    Darey if you want to sell make good music and network with people in the Music industry. Nobody cares that you TOOK a picture with President Bush. Espeially since you co-hosted the awards.

    @sisieko i think your comments are unfair. If darey or dbanj or banky w meet george bush or clinton; i think it’s news and makes for interesting read.

    I enjoyed seeing the pics; and i know NET has a right to re[port it the way they like as far as they are not feeding us lies.

    Questionmark and thisday also did the story but took it from different direction.

    And i know Darey, just like dbanj 2face and Asa has also met and taken pictures/performed with beyonce, jay z and usher and many others.
    So what’s ur point exactly? I think we shld stop this our PhD – pull him down – attitude o

    Keep it up dare.. the onlytime ill have issues with you is if your us album falls below par. by the way, stroke me did not werk for moi. more, no stars, not the girl and let you know are my best

    Even though Darey songs don’t really inspire me at least he hyped himself and stands out of other 9ja artists.
