MTN Project Fame 9: Favour axed! As Benjamin and Blessing get wild card into Academy

It was an emotional weekend for the surviving contestants in the Academy following the eviction of Favour. The tears flowed freely from the remaining contestants when news broke that Favour’s eviction from the project fame academy was real. Ever optimistic with a vivacious disposition and loads of humour, Favour was the livewire of the MTN Project Fame Academy before her departure.

However, she put up a spirited fight before her eviction, performing R&B diva, Toni Braxton's, hit song ‘Breathe Again’ to the delight of the judges. 

Praiz, the newest judge on the show, particularly felt her performance was much improved compared to her previous outings.

While Favour departed to a tearful exit, it was a euphoric moment for Benjamin and Blessing as they gained entry into the famed Academy via the Wild Card they secured at the opening gala alongside Kissi and Seun. 

During the performances, the contestants entertained the audience with some of the finest songs from the Pop genre. 

However, Pere, Winner, Yusuf, Solomon and Mirabel are up for probation this week having failed to impress the judges. The five contestants will now rely on votes from their fans in order to continue to vie for fame in the show.
