Tiptopstars VumomseVumomse will one year older on December 8. Unlike his past birthday celebrations, the USA-based Cameroonian gospel artist intends to make this year’s version unique. The author of Rakata (a Vumomse hit track that was nominated for the 2015 AFRIMA Awards) will be sharing a divine birthday gift with his fans, in a bid to celebrate victory which he has found in loving the Lord. The said gift, Victory, is his latest Single which has been brilliantly crafted to suit the taste of lovers of contemporary Afropop gospel.

Described in a release sent to our newsroom as spectacular and astounding, Victory declares that humans as we are possess the singular privilege to dominate the world that comprises other creatures. This prowess comes from God who deserves to be praised unconditionally.

According to Vumomse, the 3.27-minute-long track, featuring Kiflex took him and his team two weeks to complete. It was recorded in the Best Music Inc. Studio and Dre Studio in Michigan and just like Vumomse’s other tracks, Victory is the handiwork of award-winning producer Slimbeatz.

Perhaps the highlight of the December 8 Vumomse birthday present will be the release of a dance video by award-winning Triplets Ghetto Kids that will accompany the new Single. The said child dancing group from Uganda has been a huge attraction, not only in East Africa or the entire continent, but to the rest of the world. That Vumomse would be cajoled by the dexterous displays of the kid dancers is no surprise. The Michigan-based gospel artist himself is a heroic choreographer whose performance held scores of Cameroonians spellbound in the 90s during Vumomse’s secondary and high school days.

It should be recalled that Vumomse who has just returned to the USA from Nigeria was nominated for the 2015 AFRIMA Awards with Rakata, the main track in his maiden album. He has since the release of the said album been dropping properly-crafted videos including that of Satan Dey Feel Ma Bad and Do Me Again.

tiptopstars modeprWardRobe is one! One year on, the fashion shop that is now known to make men and women look gorgeous has kept waxing on strong. In Cameroon’s economic capital where the number one fashion house is situated, residents are announcing that WardRobe is meeting their fashion needs to satisfactory proportions since its coming to the city.

My knack for stylish outfit has increased ten folds since WardRobe opened its doors – the shop has a comfortable place on my fashion taste bud,” Carine, a Bonamoussadi Douala resident told TIPTOPSTARS.

Each time I visit WardRobe, I go home with something valuable – in fact, the shop is an added value to my fashion life,” Fidele, another Douala resident reported to us.

To Gregoire, his home wardrobe has basically been transformed to Mode Maison PR WardRobe’s extraordinary outfit. “The shop makes me look like a showbiz icon,” the costumer stated.

Just like these three, scores of other WardRobe customers have indicated their inseparable bond with the fashion shop. To MMPR WardRobe officials, it is the commitment to provide their clientele the best, set from inception, that explains this current success and positive feedback the shop is enjoying. It is this success story WardRobe is representing in grand style as the shop celebrates its first anniversary.

Vault, a bilingual fashion quarterly is what WardRobe is receiving as it first anniversary gift. Launched online, the fashion and beauty magazine showcases the sassy and distinguished outfit and beauty items that the shop markets. “The idea of a magazine came about from wanting to do something spectacular to celebrate the first anniversary of WardRobe – we wanted to re-tell our story,” Cynthia Tabe, CEO of MMPR told TIPTOPSTARS from London.

I had toyed about with the idea of starting a newsletter, but each time I felt uninspired and quite bored with it. Creating a magazine just became more appropriate, given that most people, from all indications quickly fall in love with mags than newsletters,” the UK-based corporate communication specialist who doubles as editor of Vault added.

According to Tabe, the maiden edition of vault took her two months to edit. “I was on it every blessed day,” said the editor.

In volume one which can be found online by clicking on http://issuu.com/modemaisonpr/docs/vault_magazine_issue_one.Vault apart from displaying its en vogue outfit, profile Brenda Biya, daughter of the Cameroonian Head of State who has been prominent on social media within the past couple of months. It also carries articles related to MMPR and WardRobe as well as adverts. “You really don’t need to go elsewhere for beauty, fashion and hair care tips than to Vault,” she explained.

Packaged in short, concise and interesting write-ups, the 30-page magazine is already benefitting from an encouraging feedback. “I just read through and must say Cynthia and team did a great job. I have always trusted MMPR for the professional manner in which it operates,” Andrew told us. According to the Ohio, USA lover of fashion, WardRobe is more than a shop. “I call it a project that has the capacity to completely turn the Cameroonian fashion mindset around,” he explained.

It should be recalled the MMPR WardRobe was launched last year and is situated at the Bonamoussadi neighbourhood in Douala.

Mr Leo: On Va Gerer video intensifies music, film industry bond
News / Latest / Ernest Kanjo

mrleoTiptopstars

Cameroon’s music industry and the country’s film sector are developing a no-turning-back bond which may end up being too hard to dislocate. This is expressly noticed at a time music videos made in the land of gifted singers are turning out to be the best thing happening to the country. And since Cameroon’s movie landscape is experiencing an interesting boom as well, the two have found sufficient reason to ply the entertainment superhighway in total unison.

Mr Leo’s On Va Gerer is illustrative of this observation. Released on Sunday, November 1, 2015, the video has stung Cameroonian movie lovers with the kind of indelible pleasure one would only derive from a soothing fairy tale.

In the to-be husband and wife music story, entertainment promoter Gelam Dickson aka Godfather plays the hitherto uncompromising dad of the female protagonist who is made pregnant by a not-too-well-to-do husband aspirant and who later becomes welcoming when his to-be son-in-law’s people show up with every requirement for marriage. In fact, the video opens up with actor Gelam (also an actor and staring in Rumble – upcoming TV series) expelling the perpetrator of his daughter’s unwanted pregnancy.

The highlight of the video is when elderly actor Otia Vitalis appears as father of poor, yet determined lover (played by the song author Mr Leo himself). In his usual composure, the talented actor who has fast become a household face on Cameroonian screens paces gently as he leads a family delegation to his potential in-law’s compound where food, drink and the new-born baby are prominent in the traditional seal-the-deal event. Just like Godfather, Otia, elegantly glad in “Petit Coat” shines in the clip like a community hero. “He gave the video a pleasant flare, comparable to none – I admire this actor,” Colette, Ohio-based Cameroonian movie aspiring told TIPTOPSTARS as we did this write-up.

Meantime, other prominent Cameroonian actors have been noticed in music videos as well. Just last year, the newest movie acting sensation and star in Bad Angel (currently screened on CRTV), Ade Kelly, starred in the I Cut U Café video by prominent urban artist, Stevelil.

Directed by Adah Akenji, Mr Leo’s 4.31-minutes-long On Va Gerer video has received a not-surprising positive feedback. “I don’t doubt it when it comes to Mr. Leo. On Va Gerer is just what I expected. Great work, I must say,” Lovetta, a Mr. Leo fan told us.

Mr. Leo emerged on the music platform and quickly occupied a frontline position when he released E Go Better, his maiden Single track in 2014. He has since then been his country’s ‘enfant cherie’ with his brilliant capacity to whip sweet music sentiments across the spines of consumers. The artist is now easily mentioned in every talk about Cameroonian contemporary music.

I’m seriously considering fashion modeling - Edith Pikwa, USA-based Cameroonian movie actress

If art was everything, Edith Pikwa would no regrets. The USA-based Cameroonian movie actress did not become an artist by chance. Art is everywhere around her. “In fact, Edith is art,” a fan of the movie star opined. “When I look at her, I see one thing – art,” she added.


The notion that Pikwa is an embodiment of art, held by scores of other observers goes beyond words – it is truism by every ramification. The actress presents her passion for art in huge supplies. At press time, Pikwa was on a movie set at San Diego, on the heels of successive awards ceremonies and movie premieres. “This industry would be different if everyone had my passion,” she would always joke.
