    Edem, KiDi releases new song reminding listeners of better days ahead

    Ghanaian musicians Edem Goget’em and KiDi have joined forces on a new song, Higher, delivering a message of hope and resilience to listeners facing life’s challenges.

    Released as Edem’s first single of 2025, Higher blends highlife with contemporary Afro sounds and draws inspiration from a popular Ghanaian church praise song.

    Edem revealed that the idea came to him while watching a youth choir perform, saying, “It struck me—why not turn this into a beautiful highlife song that could resonate globally? And I believe I’ve done just that.”

    Beyond its vibrant melody, the song highlights struggles faced by young people today.

    Edem noted that financial difficulties and fear of failure are pushing many into unwanted paths, adding, “This song reminds us to hold on—everything will work out, and we will count our blessings one by one.”

    Speaking about KiDi’s feature, Edem praised his delivery, saying, “KiDi on the song—because why not? He delivered beautifully, and his message fired up the hope that joy will come to us like a river.”

    My son’s father is not for social media – Mzbel responds to critics

    Ghanaian singer and media personality Mzbel has finally spoken out about ongoing speculations regarding the father of her son, Adepa.

    Addressing the rumors, she made it clear that she has no intentions of revealing his identity to the public.

    In a recent statement, Mzbel recalled the last time she saw musician Castro before his mysterious disappearance. According to her, their last encounter was during the funeral of Ronny Coaches, a member of Buk Bak, when they worked together on a tribute song.

    “The last time I saw Castro was when Ronny Coaches passed away, and we composed a tribute song. I haven’t set my eyes on him since,” she revealed.

    She clarified that her son was born six years after her friendship with Castro ended, dismissing assumptions that he could be the child’s father.

    “People assume he is the father because we were once close, but I will not disclose who my son’s father is on social media. The attention usually does more harm than good,” she stated.

    Mzbel emphasized that keeping her son’s father out of the spotlight is a personal decision, as neither she nor the father wants unnecessary public scrutiny.

    “Once people find out, he becomes the center of attention, and his private life will be scrutinized. He doesn’t want that, and neither do I. However, this is my personal business, not something for social media,” she added.

    Mzbel’s statement comes amid persistent curiosity from the public, but she remains firm in her stance to keep certain aspects of her personal life private.

    Explain ‘Makoma’ snub from Telecel Ghana Music Awards – King Paluta to Charterhouse

    Rapper King Paluta has formally petitioned the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) board over the exclusion of his hit song “Makoma” from the list of nominees.

    In a letter dated March 18, 2025, the management of King Paluta expressed their disappointment that despite submitting “Makoma” for consideration in multiple categories, the song was not nominated.

    According to the petition, the team believes “Makoma” was one of Ghana’s most popular songs during the year under review and generated significant excitement among music lovers.

    They argue that the song meets all ethical and moral requirements of the board and are requesting a convincing explanation for the decision.

    Single men are too focused on work, not relationships – Adu Safowaa

    Ghanaian socialite and media personality Adu Safowaa has expressed concern over the way many single men handle relationships, stating that they prioritize their careers over building healthy romantic connections.

    In an interview with Nana Romeo on Accra FM, she observed that while Ghanaian men excel at growing their businesses and professional lives, they often struggle to maintain peaceful and fulfilling relationships with their partners.

    “Most single men know how to build their careers, but they don’t understand how to live peacefully with their girlfriends. They are usually more focused on work and external pursuits than on their relationships,” she remarked.

    Sharing her personal experiences, Adu Safowaa revealed that she has dated both single and married men, and surprisingly, she found married men to be more considerate partners.

    “I enjoyed dating the married ones. Even though they were busy with work and family, I always felt at ease with them,” she stated.

    Despite her observations, Adu Safowaa made it clear that she enjoys being a caring and attentive partner.

    “I see my boyfriends as my projects. I love to care for them and keep tabs on all aspects of their lives,” she added.

    Her comments have sparked discussions on social media, with many debating the balance between career ambitions and relationship responsibilities among men.

  • Support for gospel music in Nigeria is a challenge! – Nigerian Singer

    Support for gospel music in Nigeria is a challenge! – Nigerian Singer

    Nigerian gospel singer Pita has shed light on the difficulties faced by gospel artistes in Nigeria, especially in securing corporate sponsorship and consistent airplay.

    Speaking in an interview on Daybreak Hitz with Doreen Avio, Pita contrasted the support for gospel music in Ghana with that of Nigeria, praising Ghana for embracing and promoting the genre.

    “That’s one of the things I love about Ghana. Ghana is a country that really supports the gospel. In Nigeria, it’s a little bit different to get corporate sponsorship for gospel stuff, because they keep saying it’s a secular nation, we don’t do this. But here, I see some brands put their names to gospel stuff for us in the gospel space. In Nigeria, it’s a challenge,” he said.

    Pita emphasized the need for gospel artistes and Christians in the creative space to develop stronger structures to sustain their work.

    “Gospel artistes, Christians in the creative space, we need to put structures in what we do,” he stated.

    Comparing airplay of gospel music in both countries, Pita observed that Ghanaian radio stations play Christian music throughout the day, whereas in Nigeria, it is mostly limited to Sunday mornings.

    “You guys play Christian music throughout the day, but in Nigeria, you wait for Sunday. And some stations (in Nigeria), they can’t wait—once they play your music from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., their body is shaking, they want to start playing their secular… they move on,” he noted.

    Beyond music, Pita also spoke about his experience in Ghana, commending the country’s culture and hospitality.

    “Ghanaians are very polite people, well-mannered, and well-cultured. Ghana is expensive now o,” he remarked.

    Pita was in Ghana for The Gratitude Concert, which took place on March 16, 2025, at the Keepers House Chapel in Accra.

    How King Paluta’s ‘Makoma’ wasn’t nominated is why I keep praying without ceasing – Delay

    Media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso, popularly known as Delay, has expressed her disappointment over the exclusion of King Paluta’s hit song Makoma from the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) nominations.

    Taking to her X page on Tuesday, March 18, Delay questioned the fairness of the selection process, stating that such incidents reinforce the need for constant prayer.

    “How King Paluta’s ‘Makoma’ wasn’t nominated is why I keep praying without ceasing. Under your very eyes, what belongs to you will be snatched away if you cease praying,” she wrote.

    Her comment has sparked widespread discussion, with fans and industry stakeholders echoing similar sentiments. Many believe Makoma was one of the most popular and impactful songs of the year and deserved recognition.

    Meanwhile, King Paluta and his team have officially petitioned the TGMA organizers, seeking an explanation for the omission. They revealed that the song was submitted for four major categories: ‘Most Popular Song of the Year,’ ‘Record of the Year,’ ‘Hiplife Song of the Year,’ and ‘Songwriter of the Year.’

    According to the team, Makoma not only gained massive airplay and public appeal but also met all ethical and moral standards required by the awards scheme.

    As reactions continue to pour in, many are calling on the TGMA board to ensure transparency and fairness in the nomination process.

    “I have never seen a president so humble” – Kwaku Manu on Mahama’s conduct

    Ghanaian actor and media personality Kwaku Manu has showered praises on former President John Dramani Mahama, describing him as one of the most humble leaders he has ever seen.

    Speaking in a recent interview, Kwaku Manu expressed admiration for Mahama’s humility and respect for others, regardless of their status.

    He noted that while many wealthy and powerful individuals lack respect, Mahama and his brother stand out for their down-to-earth nature.

    “I just have a question: who raised the Mahama children? I have never seen a president who is so humble. There are people who have money and power, but they do not respect. But if you look at President Mahama and his brother, they are humble. They do not mind standing to greet anyone, no matter the person’s level,” he stated.

    He went on to emphasize that Mahama’s humility was evident even before the elections and has remained unchanged after his victory.

    “Before the elections, I saw that Mahama was very humble, but even after winning, he is still respectful. I am saying this because of a recent event where a chief approached Mahama to greet him, and the president himself stood up to greet him, despite the fact that it was a sub-chief. This is what we want in a president,” Kwaku Manu added.

    His remarks have since sparked conversations online, with many applauding Mahama’s leadership style and respectful demeanor.

    Beware of partners who don’t share social media jokes with you – Sonnie Badu warns

    Popular gospel musician Sonnie Badu has urged people in relationships to be mindful of their partners’ communication habits, especially when it comes to social media interactions.

    In a video shared on his Instagram page, Badu emphasized that strong relationships and friendships are built on consistent communication, whether through talking, texting, or sharing content.

    “Relationships and friendships are always built on communication. You gotta communicate every day. If you’re not talking, you’re texting. If you’re not texting, you have to find a way to communicate that greases the relationship,” he stated.

    According to him, social media has become a significant part of modern relationships, with couples often bonding over shared jokes and viral content. However, he warned that if a person’s partner is not engaging with them in this manner, they might be doing so with someone else.

    “If your wife, husband, boyfriend, or girlfriend is not sharing at least five or six jokes with you on WhatsApp or from social media, please understand that they’re sharing it with somebody else,” he cautioned.

    Badu advised individuals to pay attention to these patterns, stressing that in today’s digital era, sharing content has become an essential way of maintaining connections.

    “It is the new era we’re in, and it demands that you see what’s happening and you share it. If you’re not getting any jokes from your partner, your friend, your spouse, then there’s somebody they’re sharing it with, and it’s definitely not you. So start looking out for that,” he added.

    His comments have since sparked discussions online, with many agreeing that social media habits can reveal a lot about a partner’s level of interest and engagement in a relationship.

  • Appreciate your team and stop painting them black to the public – Afua Asantewaa told

    Appreciate your team and stop painting them black to the public – Afua Asantewaa told

    Afua Asantewaa, the Ghanaian media personality and Guinness World Record (GWR) attempt holder for the longest singing marathon, has been advised to appreciate her team rather than publicly criticizing them. This follows recent statements she made that seemingly put her support team in a negative light.

    In an interview, Afua Asantewaa suggested that lapses from her team contributed to her unsuccessful attempt to break the world record. Her remarks have sparked reactions from the public, with many urging her to acknowledge the efforts of those who worked tirelessly to support her challenge.

    Industry stakeholders and fans have taken to social media to express their concerns, emphasizing the importance of teamwork in such endeavors. Some argue that while there may have been setbacks, publicly blaming her team could affect her credibility and future collaborations.

    One of her team members, Lamisi Awinongya, expressed her disappointment over the situation, urging Afua Asantewaa to be grateful for the support she received.

    “You had the goodwill of the people of Ghana from home and abroad. From the beginning of your attempt to the end, your hardworking team, which I was an instrumental part of, supported you. We sacrificed our services, time, and other resources to benefit you. Be grateful to the very team that stood by you from day one,” Lamisi said.

    She added, “Appreciate every support that came your way. Good reputation pays. On this note, I, Lamisi Awinongya, haven’t taken any money from any individual or group during the Sing-a-Thon. It’s unfortunate that it has to get to this. You can attest to it that I wouldn’t have done this, but I have family and loved ones. Thank you, please stop this already.”

    A section of the public believes that even though Afua Asantewaa’s concerns might be valid, addressing them in a more constructive and private manner would have been ideal. Others have advised her to reflect on the entire experience, appreciate her supporters, and make improvements for future attempts.

    Afua Asantewaa’s singing marathon, which gained widespread attention both locally and internationally, saw significant support from various individuals, organizations, and well-wishers. Despite falling short of securing the world record, she was praised for her resilience and determination.

    Many now hope that she will take the feedback in good stride, mend any rifts within her camp, and continue to work towards future successes with a united front.

    Background

    Afua Asantewaa, in an interview on Accra FM, stated that she did not receive any cash donation from Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

    Contrary to claims that she received huge donations from the previous government, Lamisi stated that no member of her team ever provided her with an account of any donations received during her participation in the Sing-a-Thon contest.

    Afua claimed that all she received was medicine for her sore throat, which she directly received from the former vice president.

    Shortly after, the National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, reiterated that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the former NPP flagbearer, indeed donated GH¢20,000 to support her Sing-a-Thon.

    Socrate Safo, the former Director of Creative Arts at the National Commission on Culture, also labelled her as ungrateful and accused her of lying.

    Later, in her Instagram story, Afua Asantewaa accused Socrate Safo of being deceitful and taking advantage of her hard work.

    Subsequently on UTV, while clarifying that her team only informed her about the donation on Saturday evening, Afua alleged that Socrate took GH¢10,000 out of the GH¢20,000 for claiming he had brought the vice president to her.

    Juliana Gharbin aims for Guinness World Record with giant beaded bag

    Ghanaian artist Juliana Gharbin has set out to break a Guinness World Record by crafting the world’s largest beaded sculpture—a beaded bag.

    To achieve this, she designed and produced a massive beaded bag, aiming to secure a spot in the Guinness World Records while promoting Ghanaian artistry on an international platform.

    Following the official guidelines for the record attempt, she enlisted the support of eight skilled beaders: Akosua Adutwumwaa Amoah (Dr.), Babra Ajok, Addo Tijani, Sandrine Kouassi, Lordia Konadu Appiah, Setor Akua Modzro, Bridget Esi Quansah, and Fauzia Alhassan.

    With their combined effort, they utilized 216 packs of beads to construct what is now recognized as the world’s largest beaded bag. The final creation, woven with beads and twines, measures 2 meters in width, 1.4 meters in height, and extends 2.7 meters in length.

    Before beginning the actual beading, they required the expertise of a map surveyor to outline the dimensions, a step that was documented and included in their submission.

    The entire project took Juliana and her team 13 days to complete, spanning from March 1 to March 13, 2025.

    The beading process for this remarkable feat was carried out at Ocean Green Beach Villas, Prampram.

    Juliana officially submitted her application for the record attempt on September 18, 2023, and received approval on November 30, 2023.

    All necessary footage and supporting documents of the beaded bag will be sent to the Guinness World Records for final validation..

    Juliana Gharbin is the creative director of Jules Beads and Jules Resin Arts, where she transforms beads and resin into stunning fashion accessories and home décor pieces. With a background in theatre arts, she brings creativity and precision to her craft, making Jules Beads a standout brand.

    Starting her business in 2021 with limited resources, she has grown it into a thriving enterprise celebrated for its unique designs and artistry.

    Her dedication to innovation and empowering local artisans continues to inspire others in the creative industry.

  • 26th TGMA nominations released, but where is Sarkodie?

    26th TGMA nominations released, but where is Sarkodie?

    As fans gear up for the highly anticipated 26th edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), the nomination list has been unveiled, sparking excitement across the industry.

    However, amid the buzz, one notable absence has caught many by surprise—Sarkodie is missing from the ‘Artiste of the Year’ category for the first time in a decade.

    Sarkodie is surprisingly missing from the category, sparking reactions online.

    While some may not see this as an issue, it is a major surprise for many, as this marks the first time the ‘Illuminati’ hitmaker has not been nominated in this prestigious category in ten years.

    Sarkodie earned his first nomination at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) in 2010, with his debut album ‘Makye’ earning him eight nominations and five awards, including the coveted ‘Artiste of the Year’ and ‘Discovery of the Year’ awards.

    In 2012, Sarkodie continued his success with his Rapperholic album, securing 12 nominations and winning three awards, including ‘Artiste of the Year’ and ‘Most Popular Song of the Year’ for “U Go Kill Me.”

    Although he missed out on the Artiste of the Year nomination in 2013, Sarkodie began an impressive streak starting in 2014, with his Sarkology album earning eight nominations.

    Since then, he has consistently been a major contender, especially in the Artiste of the Year category.

    However, 2025 marks the year he has been absent from that category.

    Despite missing out on the top honour, Sarkodie earned other nominations at the awards, including Best Hiplife Song, Best Rap Performance, Best Hiphop Song, and Best Hiplife/Hiphop Song.

    The TGMA 2025 nominee announcement, held at the Accra International Conference Centre on Saturday, March 15, 2025, saw the declaration of various artistes including Kweku Smoke, Team Eternity, Joe Mettle, King Paluta, King Promise, Stonebwoy, and Black Sherif, as contenders for the prestigious ‘Artiste of the Year’ category.

    The grand awards ceremony is set for May 3, 2025, at the Accra International Conference Centre.

    Before the main event, a pre-party on May 2 will gather nominees and key industry figures for networking and conversations.

    Additionally, the nominees’ jam, popularly called the TGMA Xperience, is slated for Saturday, April 5, 2025.

  • We must hold the feet of the NDC to the fire – Afenyo-Markin

    We must hold the feet of the NDC to the fire – Afenyo-Markin

    Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has emphasized the need for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to be an active and vocal opposition, ensuring that the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) is held accountable.

    Speaking on The KSM Show, the Effutu legislator acknowledged that the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 elections was a major setback, but he insisted that the party must remain resilient and strategically position itself for the future.

    Reflecting on the election outcome, he admitted that the party had anticipated a stronger showing in Parliament, expecting to win between 100 and 130 seats. Instead, they managed only 61 seats—their worst parliamentary performance since 1997. Afenyo-Markin attributed this decline partly to a loss of support from the middle class and the youth, particularly due to dissatisfaction with the controversial Debt Exchange Program (DDE), which affected investors.

    “We expected to win, but we didn’t. Even in Parliament, our performance was not what we anticipated,” he conceded. “The middle class, which is our base, does investments, and they lost out. Many were angry with us and decided not to vote at all.”

    With the party yet to settle on a new leadership ahead of the 2028 elections, Afenyo-Markin believes Parliament remains the NPP’s strongest platform to stay relevant and engage with the electorate. He warned against complacency, stressing that the party must take an aggressive stance in opposition.

    “But for the time being, the party base must be active. We need to hold the feet of the NDC to the fire, and I have to play my role as the minority,” he stated firmly.

    Addressing concerns over his confrontational approach in Parliament, Afenyo-Markin defended his style, arguing that it is necessary to match the strength of the NDC’s parliamentary leadership. He noted that without a robust pushback, the NPP would struggle to counter the ruling party’s influence.

    As the NPP navigates its path in opposition, Afenyo-Markin remains committed to revitalizing the party’s base while ensuring that the government is held to account. He believes that maintaining a strong parliamentary presence is crucial in shaping the party’s future and rebuilding public confidence.

  • Afua Asantewaa should get a spokesperson – Bullgod on GHS20K donation confusion

    Afua Asantewaa should get a spokesperson – Bullgod on GHS20K donation confusion

    Ghanaian artiste manager and entertainment analyst, Lawrence Asiamah Hanson, widely known as Bullgod, has advised Guinness World Records contender Afua Asantewaa to consider hiring a spokesperson following the controversy surrounding a GH¢20,000 donation from former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

    Afua Asantewaa recently claimed in an interview with Nana Romeo that, aside from medication for a sore throat, she received no assistance from the previous government during her first sing-a-thon attempt. She denied receiving any cash donations or items from Dr. Bawumia, contradicting claims that the former Vice President had supported her cause.

    Reacting to the development on United Showbiz on Saturday, March 15, Bullgod advised her to be cautious with her public statements, suggesting that she should let a professional handle her communications.

    “She is a fine lady and should stop talking because what she is saying won’t help her. I would suggest she look for someone to do the talking on her behalf,” he stated.

    His comments come after National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, refuted Afua Asantewaa’s claims, stating in a Facebook post that he personally handed over GH¢20,000 to her husband and father on behalf of Dr. Bawumia.

    Bullgod described Afua Asantewaa’s statement as “ambiguous,” questioning how she could be unaware of a donation received by her own management team.

    “It’s surprising that she only became aware that GH¢20,000 was donated to her team when she was about to speak to us,” he remarked. “Her husband is the one managing her, so as a manager, he leads the team. All that she is saying is ambiguous.”

    He also reminded her of her experience working with industry professionals like Merqury Quaye, Nana Reagan, and George Quaye, advising her to be mindful of her words.

    “She has worked with respected personalities in the media space, so she should be careful with her statements,” he added.

    The controversy continues to fuel discussions in the entertainment industry, with many questioning the handling of communication regarding high-profile support for Afua Asantewaa’s record attempt.

  • ‘Be mindful of your words’ on Bawumia’s donation – Bullgod to Afua Asantewaa

    ‘Be mindful of your words’ on Bawumia’s donation – Bullgod to Afua Asantewaa

    Ghanaian artiste manager and entertainment analyst, Lawrence Asiamah Hanson, widely known as Bullgod, has advised Afua Asantewaa to be careful with what she says regarding the GH¢20,000 donation from Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

    She said, she did not receive any substantial gift from the then New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, except for medicine to soothe her sore throat, which was personally presented to her by Dr. Bawumia.

    During a discussion on United Showbiz on Saturday, March 14, 2025, Bullgod characterized Afua Asantewaa’s as ‘unclear’ and lacking specificity.

    He pointed out that her husband was actively involved in managing her team during the first sign-a-thon attempt, making it surprising that she claimed to be unaware of the GH¢20,000 donation made by former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to support her cause.

    “It’s surprising that she became aware that GH¢20,000 was donated to his team just when she was about to speak to us. Her husband is the one managing her so as a manager he is the one leading the team. All that she is saying is ambiguous.

    “She worked with big personalities in the media space such as Merqury Quaye, Nana Reagan, Geroge Quaye, and others so she should be mindful of her words,” he said.

    Meanwhile, the National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha has stated that he personally handed over GH¢20,000 to Afua’s husband and father on behalf of the former Vice President.

    BullGod has therefore advised to be more mindful of her words.

    Adding that Afua should refrain from making further public comments that could potentially harm her brand, stating that she should consider hiring a professional to speak on her behalf.

    “She is a fine lady and should stop talking because what she is saying won’t help her. I would suggest she look for someone to do the talking on her behalf,” he added.

  • Dancers deserve recognition too – Quables to TGMA organizers

    Dancers deserve recognition too – Quables to TGMA organizers

    Talent manager and CEO of DWP Academy, Quables, is urging the organizers of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) to introduce a dance category, stressing that dancers play a vital role in promoting music.

    He argues that while artists, producers, and directors receive recognition for their contributions, dancers—who help amplify songs through choreography and viral challenges—are often overlooked.

    Speaking to GhanaWeb TV at the 26th TGMA nominees’ announcement on Saturday, March 15, 2025, Quables emphasized the impact of dance in the music industry.

    “There are so many dance groups now, so many individuals doing well, and we are playing a very major role. Everybody knows how much dance contributes to this music industry.

So, I think next year, it should be added. That’s all I’m looking for,” he stated.

    With platforms like TikTok and Instagram making dance an essential marketing tool for songs, Quables believes it is time for the TGMA to acknowledge the influence of choreographers in the industry.

    Ghanaian musician Bashir Annan, known as Gambo, has earned a nomination for “International Collaboration of the Year” at the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) with his hit song Drip Remix.

    The Drip Remix video proudly highlights Ghanaian culture, from traditional drumming and warrior outfits to the graceful Adowa dance, showcasing the country’s rich heritage to the world. With such a strong cultural statement, the song is a strong contender for the International Collaboration of the Year award.

    Charterhouse has also announced nominees for several other major categories, including Best Hip-Hop Song, Best Afrobeats Song, Best Hiplife Song, Best Highlife Song, Best Urban Contemporary Gospel Song, Best Reggae/Dancehall Song, Best Music Video, Best Male Vocal Performance, and Best Female Vocal Performance.

    It’s about time TGMA recognizes dancers – Quables

    Talent manager and CEO of DWP Academy, Quables, is advocating for the inclusion of a dance category in the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), emphasizing that dancers play a crucial role in making songs go viral.

    He believes that through choreography and dance challenges, dancers help push music to global audiences, yet they remain unrecognized in major award schemes.

    Speaking to GhanaWeb TV at the 26th TGMA nominees’ announcement on Saturday, March 15, 2025, Quables stressed the need for formal recognition.

    “There are so many dance groups now, so many individuals doing well, and we are playing a very major role. Everybody knows how much dance contributes to this music industry. We are making songs go global. It’s not that the songs wouldn’t go without us, but dance is a tool. Videographers, producers, and directors all play their roles, and dancers do too. So, I think next year, it should be added. That’s all I’m looking for,” he stated.

    With the rise of social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, dance has become a powerful promotional tool for music, allowing songs to gain massive traction worldwide.

    Quables’ call for recognition has also been echoed by other industry players who believe it is time for dancers to be celebrated for their contributions to the music industry.

  • We will organize seminars to restore lost identity of highlife in music industry – MUSIGA

    We will organize seminars to restore lost identity of highlife in music industry – MUSIGA

    The President of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), Bessa Simons, has announced plans to organize seminars aimed at reviving the fading identity of highlife music in Ghana.

    Speaking on Atinka TV’s Entertainment Lounge, hosted by Odefour DiAsa Paapa, Simons expressed concern over the genre’s gradual decline, noting that while highlife remains widely recognized, it is losing its stronghold as Ghana’s signature music style.

    “It is worrying,” he stated.

    As part of efforts to preserve and promote highlife, MUSIGA is set to roll out a series of educational seminars to highlight the genre’s unique characteristics.

    “We will start organizing seminars about highlife. We are also working on a documentary with Prof. John Collins for our Golden Jubilee to showcase how highlife has evolved over the years and the key elements that make it distinct,” Simons revealed.

    He stressed that highlife is deeply rooted in Ghanaian culture and remains an integral part of daily life.

    “Highlife music is played and consumed in every Ghanaian home. It is unique, and once you start singing on a highlife beat, everyone—whether Black or white—can relate to it,” he emphasized.

    Simons further highlighted the genre’s rich instrumentation, pointing out its incorporation of various guitar styles such as Amponsah, Odo Nsor, and Dagomba rhythms.

    “These elements are what make highlife special. That is why the seminar is very important—not just for Ghanaians but for anyone who wants to learn. Even in London, I saw white musicians traveling to Côte d’Ivoire to learn highlife guitar, and when they returned, they were playing highlife perfectly,” he noted.

    Despite concerns over highlife’s diminishing prominence, Simons remains optimistic about its future. He acknowledged the contributions of renowned Ghanaian guitarists such as Odekro Kyekyeku and Aka Blay but stressed the need to train younger musicians to uphold the genre’s legacy.

    “Fortunately, we have great guitarists like Odekro, Kyekyeku, and Aka Blay, who are holding the fort. But we need to start building the next generation so that Ghana can officially claim highlife as our musical hallmark,” he urged.

    MC Yaa Yeboah questions police silence on Kofi Adomah’s shooting

    Media personality MC Yaa Yeboah has expressed concern over the Ghana Police Service’s silence regarding the shooting incident that left broadcaster Kofi Adomah Nwanwanii with serious injuries.

    Speaking on United Showbiz, aired on UTV on March 15, 2025, Yaa Yeboah questioned why the police have yet to provide any updates on their investigations or actions taken to apprehend the perpetrator.

    “Why haven’t we heard from the police about Kofi’s case till date? Have they been forced not to work on the issue? Because that’s what it looks like. Even the recent Nungua shooting incident has seen the suspect remanded. So why hasn’t the person caught on camera in this case been arrested or dealt with?” she asked in Twi.

    She further suggested that the lack of progress raises concerns about possible interference in the case.

    “I don’t want to believe that some prominent individuals are lobbying for the case to be overlooked to protect the suspect. But how else do we explain this silence?” she questioned.

    Yaa Yeboah urged the police to act swiftly, emphasizing that justice must prevail.

    “As we speak, we don’t even know if the suspect has been arrested. There has been no police statement, absolutely nothing. The laws work in this country, so the police should act on it as quickly as possible,” she stressed.

    Her remarks have sparked discussions on social media, with many calling for accountability from law enforcement regarding the case.

    Background

    A few months ago, Kofi Adomah and his team from Angel FM/TV, Kofi TV, and MagrahebTV traveled to Dormaa Ahenkro in the Bono Region to cover the Dormaa Kwafie Festival and the 25th anniversary of Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II.

    During the event, a gunman fired a musket at Kofi’s face, leaving him with serious eye injuries that required multiple surgeries.

    To help cover the cost of another surgery, a GoFundMe account has been set up to raise funds.

    Speaking at a press briefing on March 13, 2025, the Angel FM presenter revealed that Ibrahim Mahama contributed $115,000 towards his medical bills and even offered to use his private jet to transport him from Dormaa to Accra for urgent care.

    “So, we called Ibrahim Mahama, who was willing to support and even asked why he had not been informed earlier so he could fly us from Dormaa to Accra with his private jet. He immediately asked us to send our account number and made a deposit of funds. God bless him and every other person who contributed towards my treatment,” he said in local palance

    Kofi Adomah sustained serious injuries a few months ago while covering the Dormaa Kwafie festival and the 25th anniversary of Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, in the Bono Region.

    During the event, he was accidentally shot in the face by a musket-wielding gunman, causing severe damage to his eyes. This led to multiple surgeries, with more procedures still required.

    To support his ongoing medical needs, a GoFundMe account has been created to raise funds for an upcoming surgery.

  • It’s save to marry a virgin if you’re naive about sex – Assemblies of God pastor says

    It’s save to marry a virgin if you’re naive about sex – Assemblies of God pastor says

    Rev. John Kofi Bosomtwe of the Liberty Assemblies of God in Kumasi has advised men struggling with sexual inexperience or dysfunction to be mindful of their choice of a marriage partner.

    According to the pastor, a man who is naïve about sex may find it easier to build intimacy with a virgin, as both partners would learn and grow together. However, he cautioned that marrying a woman with prior sexual experience could present challenges.

    Speaking to his congregation in a viral video circulating on social media, Rev. Bosomtwe stressed that sex is a critical aspect of marriage and directly impacts relationship satisfaction.

    “The mere fact that you can have an erection does not mean you are capable of having great sex. You need to know how to go about it very well. If you are naïve, marrying a virgin can sometimes save you. But it’s a problem when you marry someone who has already broken her virginity,” he stated during church service.

    He urged men facing sexual difficulties to seek proper guidance rather than rushing into marriage without preparation.

    “Seek guidance to learn how to handle the situation because the problem is that the woman you are marrying may already have experience. If she is a virgin, then there is no problem; you are safe. But if she has had previous sexual encounters, she may mock you during intercourse,” he cautioned.

    The Assemblies of God pastor also highlighted the role of a satisfying sex life in fostering love and generosity between spouses.

    “If you have good sex, men become more caring towards their wives and shower them with gifts,” he added.

    His remarks have sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some agreeing with his perspective, while others argue that a healthy marriage should be built on communication, trust, and mutual understanding rather than sexual history.

    Man behind NDC’s ‘Ede Be Kɛkɛ’ slogan Wofa K, resurfaces online

    Ghanaian television personality Wofa K has made a surprise reappearance, stirring nostalgia among many Ghanaians.

    Recognized for his bald head and signature hat, Wofa K rose to fame during the 2012 general elections when his phrase ‘Ede Be Kɛkɛ’ became a nationwide sensation.

    A viral video shows the entertainer recreating the slogan, complete with his signature mouth twist, rekindling fond memories. Social media users have since expressed excitement over his return, with many wondering about his long absence.

    Originally a tagline for telecom giant MTN, ‘Ede Be Kɛkɛ’ became synonymous with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) when former President John Dramani Mahama’s campaign adopted it in 2012.

    The phrase dominated political discussions, rallies, and speeches, cementing Wofa K’s place in Ghana’s political history.

    Beyond that, Wofa K was also credited with the phrase ‘No Abaabasɛ’, which gained traction during the NDC’s 2016 manifesto launch.

    His resurfacing has left many questioning why he vanished from the spotlight and whether he plans to make a full comeback.

    Is Ajagurajah in the US to fight Young Don?

    Ghanaian spiritual leader Bishop Ajagurajah’s recent trip abroad has sparked speculation about whether he is on a mission to confront US-based social media personality Young Don.

    Ajagurajah fueled curiosity after sharing a video on TikTok, where he appeared in a hoodie and sweatpants, flexing his muscles in a foreign location.

    This led many to question if he had traveled to the US, where Young Don resides, with some social media users joking that he had flown out to settle their long-running feud in person.

    Young Don recently returned to social media after a six-month absence, during which rumors spread that he had been deported as part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

    He, however, denied the claims in a video, insisting that his break was intentional. He also accused Ajagurajah of fueling the false reports.

    The tension between the two dates back to 2023 when Young Don repeatedly criticized Ajagurajah online. In response, the spiritual leader warned that his words would have consequences. Ajagurajah later claimed that his spiritual powers had influenced Young Don’s rumored deportation, a claim that lost credibility after Young Don’s return.

    Since reappearing online, Young Don has continued to take jabs at Ajagurajah, calling him out in several videos. While many expect a response from Ajagurajah, he has remained silent—except for his cryptic overseas trip, which has only deepened the speculation.

    Speaking on the E Vibes Musical Band Series, the band’s deputy leader, Mac Hamlet, noted that the pandemic’s financial impact forced event organizers and venues to opt for DJs over live bands.

    This shift, he explained, resulted in a decline in bookings for bands, making it a tough period for musicians who relied on live performances for their livelihood.

    “From Covid time, it was not easy for bands, but right now it’s evolving. People and most companies now want to involve bands in their restaurants and clubs. Before, it was more about DJs, and that led to a decline in live bands. But now, it’s rising,” Hamlet stated.

    Despite the challenges, he emphasized that there is no rivalry between bands and DJs. Instead, he revealed that both groups are now collaborating more, performing together at events to create a more immersive musical experience.

    “After Covid-19, the need for bands declined a bit because of financial constraints. At some point, DJs were taking all the gigs, but lately, I can see that things are changing. We have been collaborating with DJs, playing gigs together, and it has been going well. There’s no bad blood between us,” he added.

    This season of E Vibes is focusing on music bands in Ghana under the theme #MusicalBandSeries.

    The program aims to celebrate and spotlight the journeys of Ghanaian musical bands, sharing their struggles, victories, and the unity that keeps them going.

    Salam Mustapha calls out Afua Asantewaa for ‘falsehood and ingratitude

    National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, has publicly criticized Afua Asantewaa, accusing her of spreading falsehoods and showing ingratitude towards those who supported her efforts.

    Speaking at a press briefing in Accra, Mustapha alleged that Asantewaa has repeatedly downplayed the contributions of individuals and organizations that backed her initiatives.

    According to him, despite receiving substantial financial and logistical assistance, she has continued to portray herself as having been abandoned.

    “This is not the first time she’s twisting facts to fit a particular narrative,” Mustapha stated. “We all rallied behind her, yet she chooses to disregard the efforts made to help her succeed.”

    Mustapha further revealed that various stakeholders, including government officials and private sponsors, extended their support to Asantewaa, but she has failed to acknowledge their contributions.

    “It’s disappointing to see someone who was given resources and encouragement turn around and claim she was left on her own. This level of ingratitude is unacceptable,” he added.

    His comments have sparked mixed reactions among the public, with some defending Asantewaa while others agree that acknowledging support is essential. Meanwhile, Asantewaa is yet to respond to Mustapha’s claims.

    Listen to Shatta Wale’s song “Betting Tax”

    Dancehall star Shatta Wale has dropped a new song titled Betting Tax in response to former Finance Minister Mohammed Amin Adam’s claim that the Akufo-Addo government never enforced the betting tax.

    After the NDC promised to scrap the tax, the former minister argued that there was no need to celebrate because the tax was never put into effect—only proposed.

    But many people in the betting industry disagreed, saying deductions were made from their winnings since the tax was introduced until its recent removal.

    In his song, Shatta Wale calls out the ex-finance minister and the government, accusing them of being dishonest and only looking out for themselves.

    The song has since sparked conversations online, with many people sharing their views on the betting tax issue.
