Ninja Lipsy will be the only female voice on the stellar line-up of performers at the joint album launch and birthday bash organised by 2 Kings Entertainment.
There has been talk about the Ninja President — as Winky D is fondly known to his legion of fans — and the former “first lady” of Vigilance Music being an item following their collaboration on Taitirana PaFirst Sight, which was accompanied by a sizzling video in which the two were featured enjoying steamy moments in line with the song’s theme.
The duo, however, poured cold water on the claims, maintaining theirs was a professional working relationship.
Ninja Lipsy told NewsDay yesterday that she felt honoured to be among the performers at the concert.
“Being roped in to perform at such a concert gives me the courage to keep on working hard and knowing there are some people who recognise my efforts. I promise a bombshell because fireworks will be too small,” she said.
“I am what I am because of Winky D who plucked me from the doldrums. That is why I salute him big time, as he has always been readily available to mentor me.”
