“La ponceuse” as she is fondly called is locked in a quarrel with the agency in charge of managing musicians’ copyright SOCAM. The feud started after the agency slammed the singer with an official warning  as well as a 1 million francs c.f.a fine for allegedly making disparaging comments against the agency during an interview. As a matter of  fact, the artists is quoted as having said SOCAM wasn’t treating artists any better than its predecessor C.M.C and that it wasn’t going to be recognised by international bodies in charge of managing artists’ copyright like SACEM. These alledged comments were viewed by SOCAM hierachy as a violation of section 53 of its statutes which prohibits its members from making declarations that might taint the agency’s reputation. This position is however challenged by Lady Ponce whose lawyer organised a press conference recently in Yaounde. During this meeting with pressmen, Barrister  Ndongo Christian Patrick said the sanction meted to his client was tainted with serious violations of Cameroonian law. The legal mind hinged his case on the section 54 of SOCAM statutes which says when a violation is committed the accused is summoned to defend his/herself. If  the time lapse expires, one of the sanctions can be meted but his client received both sanctions. Knowing the perennial nature of most legal disputes,we must say this could only be the first round of a long process. Goodluck to both parties et “que la vérité triomphe“. Lady Ponce won’t give a cool million “cadeau”.

Party people will have to wait. The first edition of the Planet Star Video Music Awards that was slated for March  14 has been postponed to March 21 same place same time. According to a press release cited by some media outlets, the organiser blames this postponement to the unavailability of most of the artists to take part in the event. So, all those who prepared their outfits should simply store them in  a cold dry place, the event will take place come March 21,2012. Lady Ponce and Ama Pierrot are going to be patrons of the event.

Bikutsi queen Lady Ponce is decidedly bent on making her musical presence felt this year. She has just released another video “Secouer -Secouer” featuring D.J Manu Killer. This track is from her latest album “La loi du talion” that was released late last year. The close to 6 minutes video was shoot at Safari Club in Yaounde that seems to be the latest IT place for shooting music videos. Lady Ponce has sure been busy. Just last month she released a video, left for Europe, has been announced back in the country for a March 8 concert and now this music video release. This latest video includes a special guest appearance from Koppo who plays a limousine- riding guy who picks up skinny and thinly-clad girls for partying. Bikutsi and Lady Ponce  fans should stop drooling the video is right here. Bon appetit.

Bikutsi star Lady Ponce will be on stage  come March 8 for a concert. What’s special about this? Well it’s not the fact that it is going to be on Women’s day. The concert is going to take place at her cabaret “Ponce Attitude’  that is situated in the Ekié neighbourhood in Yaounde and is touted by some to be amongst the best in town. Talk of artists diversifying and branching out into business ventures. Lady fans of the artist are sure going to be served with the breathtaking and intense performances she is known for. While waiting for the concert date here is one of her most recent music videos “Carosserie”

Bikutsi front woman Lady Ponce has just released a  new music video “Carrosserie”. This song is from her fourth album“La loi du talion” which was released last year. While every work of art deserves praise, we must say that the video would have been better off without  the amateurish visual effects at the start. The song is also too  long: 6 minutes 54 seconds. That’s practically enough time for two songs. Talk of shooting one bird with two stones. Apart from these gray spots, the song is the exquisite Bikutsi the Lady is famed for and fans should get ready for positive messages and no “ventre or bas -ventre” talk  when listening to this song. See for yourself.

Bikutsi diva, Lady Ponce shall be performing live in Liege. Other guest performers include  Pierre Didy Tchakounte; Leela 1er, Tagne condom, Grand depanou de liege
