9ice Changes His Name

As part of efforts to reposition himself in the music industry, the
Alapomeji singing pearl, 9ice has changed his names.
Formerly known as Abolore Adegbola Akande, 9ice told Showtime he is
taking the new names of Alexander, Abolore, Adegbola, Alapomeji
Ajifolajifaola.

Advancing reason for the namechange, the Gongo Aso crooner said it was
in line with his desire to please his fans who have taken a liking to
the name Alapomeji.
"When I set up Alapomeji records, I didn't reckon on my fans taking to
the name. Now that they seem to love the name, I have decided to add
it to my original names'", he told Showtime.
On his father's reaction to the new name, 9ice said, "Its my decision
to adopt a new name and not my father's. I am sure he will have
nothing against my wish, knowing this is show business".
