Ambe's Rendezvous with Money and fame; The flip side of the nude cover art

Ambe

Cameroon's rising Afro sensation Ambe is caught up in social media blacklash over his supposed album cover art titled La Star which he made public last week.

 Ambe is from the Northwest Region of Cameroon, precisely from Bafut, Mezam. He is also known as  'RendezVousPikin' with huge ambition to impact peoples life with music and become successful. Ambe started his career way before Obama became president of America. He was known formerly by the stage name Denzyl.

From 2015 to 2016, he has released a couple of singles and videos one of which aired on MTVbase. Some of these singles were rendezvous,double,les filles de mon pays. Ambe's songs are mostly geared towards a yet to be archived wealth and fame which he must get in the future. Just like he stated in his song Double, and I quote, "good salary na my portion, Ferrari na my portion, Boughatti na my portion ey"

Looking at Ambe's hustle he is craving for fame and wealth just like any other artist will. Notwithstanding,  the release of the cover art of his yet to be released album was proof Ambe will do anything to have a rendezvous with money and fame.

Karawa's Diary was not going to say anything about it but KD readers wanted to know my opinion as to whether this cover art was uncalled for or not

On the other hand, I know that many took this with so much dismay and disappointment as to how Ambe is not passing across a positive message as he has been doing in his previous arts. But come to think of it, was his pose on that cover art a new thing as far as the entertainment industry is concerned? I don't think it is strange to see this in a world of arts. Since I am opinionated, I am thinking that Ambe posing nude on his cover art was intended to pass across a message because music in itself is art and sometimes the things we do in this art of music all combine to pass across this single message; the message intended to be heard. Some of this things could be posing nude on the cover art.

What beats my imagination is not that he was nude on his cover art, but rather,what was the message behind that pose? Is Ambe trying to say I am as real as when I was born,No faking?or could he be talking about a transition in his life ( the cover art has wrinkles that signify motion). That cover art for me raised curiosity. The curiosity is not as to why he posed naked but as to what message is behind it.

However, The album title says La Star. If the message the afro sensation is trying to pass across is that you need to go naked to be a star then I too am disappointed in the message and pose but if this cover art is to say strip yourself off of every faking and be as real as you are to be a star then its arts. Sometimes it is hard to take a giant step to pass that one message because we live in a world where people must talk like I am doing now and sometimes the talks can be spirit crashing. Well, I am not in essence in any form promoting nudity especially as it has been the case with Cameroonian girls putting out sex tapes on social media (click and read more)

Could it also be a possibility for a publicity strategy? If this is a ploy to draw needed attention on the soon to be released album then it is for sure working out for Ambe as everyone has been ranting on the issue on social media ever since its release. As they say, publicity is never bad publicity so far as it meets up with the goals set in place. Yes its nudity, but beyond it might be that work of art that intends to conceal and convey a hidden message in itself.

Maybe if the picture is looked beyond the pose it might breed a better message.I hope to get close and personal with Ambe on this.

Karawa's Diary will definitely keep you updated with this upcoming album and the mystery behind the cover art.
