Hunny Madu won’t ‘gostan’ on rap songs
TV HOST-CUM-RAP artiste Hani Farhana Mohd Hatim, or Hunny Madu as she is popularly known, will stick to her rojak songs, Kosmo! reported.
Her English-infused Malay rap songs have annoyed some of her fans, who labelled her as being “too urban”.
In defence of her songs, Hunny Madu said: “These lyrics are sincere and come from the heart.
“As artistes, if we are too influenced by society’s criticisms, we will not grow.”
The 34-year-old said this at a charity event in Kuala Lumpur recently.
On whether she was worried that award judges would not take her work seriously, Hunny Madu responded in the negative.
“I put my full faith in the songs I create. If it’s a good song, it will get the committee’s attention,” she said.
Citing Go Hard or Gostan, which also featured Kayda Aziz, Hunny Madu said the song was nominated for Best Duo/Collaboration in a Song at Anugerah Industri Muzik two years ago.
She added that her ambition was to have her songs becoming a benchmark in the next 20 to 30 years.
>A labourer in Kemaman, Terengganu, was caught buying heroin with his child’s duit raya, reported Sinar Harian.
The Terengganu National Antidrugs Agency (AADK) uncovered this during a three-day operation.
The man was arrested at a drug distribution point at a hilly area in Seri Bandi on the second day of the operation.
Terengganu AADK assistant senior director for enforcement and security Wan Jalani Wan Ismail said the 59-member team also arrested an intoxicated couple in Kerteh, whose four children had to be sent to the Social Welfare Department.
“In total, 86 drug addicts between the ages of 15 and 56 were arrested, including three women,” he said.
> A durian seller is enjoying brisk business in Kampung Banggol Pauh in Kuala Nerus, Terengganu, because he is offering the King of Fruits at a lower price, reported Harian Metro.
Razani Abd Rani, 43, said he bought durians from Johor in bulk and then sold them at RM10 to RM15 per kg to the Kuala Nerus folk.
“A lot of durian lovers complain that prices in Terengganu are much higher than other states like Johor, Perak and Pahang.
“The higher price tags drive them to other states for cheaper options,” he said.
Razani’s marketing tactic worked as he said he could sell seven tonnes of durians a day.
He said customers even booked durians with him as early as 9am.
Razani said he did not care about criticism from other durian sellers as his only intention was to satisfy the cravings of durian lovers by offering many variants, such as 101, D24, D13, D88 and KW.
