    You left when the applause was loudest – Prof Smart commends Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu

    Senior Lecturer and Senior Research Fellow at the Kumasi Technical University’s Institute of Research, Innovation, and Development, Prof. Sarpong Smart, has commended Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu‘s recent resignation from parliamentary duties.

    Prof. Smart emphasised that despite not disclosing the reasons for the resignation, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has left Parliament at the peak of applause for his dedicated service.

    According to the senior academic, this marked a moment for celebration of the seasoned political figure’s contributions to the country.

    “Change is constant, someone goes and someone fills in the gap, changes in parliament, majority caucus, I think it’s one of those things that is expected. Despite not outlining the reasons he resigned, he chose the right time to leave parliament, he has left parliament when the applause was loudest,” Prof. Smart stated.

    As the political landscape undergoes changes, Prof. Smart believes that it is an anticipated occurrence within the parliamentary dynamics.

    He adds that Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu’s departure signified a well-timed exit, leaving when his contributions are most appreciated.

    Furthermore, Prof. Smart suggests that now is the opportune moment for Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu to channel his extensive political knowledge into a memoir.

    “Now more than ever, we expect a book from the honourable Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu, we need about five books from him.”

    He encouraged the former Majority Leader to share his insights through a series of books, signalling a call for the esteemed political figure to document his wealth of experience in the field.

    Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the Member of Parliament for Suame, officially declared his resignation as Majority Leader.

    He made this announcement in Parliament on Friday, February 23, clarifying that the decision was solely his and not influenced by external pressure, as speculated in some media reports.

    Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu encouraged members of the Majority Caucus to extend their support to his successor, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, by providing all necessary assistance.

    “On Wednesday, February 21, at a meeting with the caucus and the President, I formally announced my decision to resign as the Majority Leader in order to still the storm and facilitate the peace and unity for the party at this time,” he said.

    My ex said I had a big belly – DKB reveals cause of break up

    During a recent appearance on  Desmond Kwesi Blackmore known popularly as D-Black‘s Unkut show, comedian Derick Kobina Bonney popularly known as DKB shared a personal experience prompted by rapper Trigmatic’s recollection of finding him in tears.

    Trigmatic recounted encountering DKB at Trade Fair, where the comedian looked visibly upset.

    “I met DKB at Trade Fair sometime ago. I was supposed to perform, but they hadn’t called me yet. So, I decided to walk around. I noticed someone sitting in a car with the engine running, and I thought, ‘That must be DKB.’ I approached him and asked, ‘Hey, what’s going on?’ I could see that his eyes were red, and tears were welling up,” Trigmatic explained.

    Taking ownership of his experience, DKB revealed that the cause of his distress was a recent heartbreak. His then-girlfriend had abruptly ended their relationship, citing his belly fat as the reason.

    “I was there, and she said I gained belly fat, so she couldn’t continue with me. Do you know the painful part? I had paid for a gym for her to get in shape,” DKB recounted.

    The comedian further explained that the breakup occurred just a week before the Dumsor vigil, a protest where entertainment industry figures demonstrated against the government’s handling of erratic power supply.

    “This girl tore me apart… ‘she can’t continue with me because I am gaining belly fat, and it’s not attractive for her.’ And this was a week to Dumsor vigil, so the anger on my face during Dumsor vigil was not for John Mahama; Mahama was innocent,” he shared.

  • Flashback: Blame Kuami Eugene if I’m disqualified from GWR – Afua Asantewaa

    Flashback: Blame Kuami Eugene if I’m disqualified from GWR – Afua Asantewaa

    Prior to being officially recognized by the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest singing marathon, entrepreneur and media personality Afua Asantewaa declared she would hold highlife musician Kuami Eugene accountable in the event that she was disqualified.

    During an interview with Hitz FM in January 2024, Asantewaa revealed that encountering Kuami Eugene at the sing-a-thon venue led to a momentary lapse in memory, forgetting lyrics to ‘Asuoden,’ a song by Sista Afia featuring the artist.

    Despite the initial setback, Asantewaa triumphantly concluded her attempt with a new record of 126 hours, 52 mins, thanking supporters on her Facebook page.

    However, she jokingly mentioned that if disqualified, she would blame Kuami Eugene for her distraction during the marathon.

    “Kuami Eugene is my crush. That guy came and I forgot my lyrics. I said to myself that he was going to disturb me with his presence. If the Guinness Book of Records does not give me the record, it is Kwami Eugene. My husband knows I have a crush on him so when he got there, I said he shouldn’t have been there. I couldn’t remember his lyrics to ‘Asuoden’. I just like him”, she said in a video shared by SikaOfficial on X.

    However, Afua Asantewaa, a contender for the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest individual singing marathon, was officially disqualified.

    According to a tweet, on their social media page, GWR disclosed that Afua’s attempt for the longest singing marathon was not successful but hoped she would attempt another record soon.

    “Unfortunately Afua’s Guinness World Records attempt for the longest singing marathon was not successful, but we hope that she will make another attempt soon. We’ve seen how inspirational it has been for her fans. The evidence check had already begun before Afua requested priority service, so we refunded her payment earlier this month. We wish Afua the best of luck with any future record attempts” GWR tweeted in response to a fan’s question about Afua’s record.

    Afua Asantewaa endured a five-day singing marathon that commenced at midnight on Sunday, December 24 and concluded at 7:00 am on December 29.

    At the time of ending her record attempt on Friday morning, the young woman had sung for five days, six hours, and 55 minutes.

    Ghanaians have endorsed my 24-hour economic policy; the NPP campaign is in a tailspin – Mahama

    The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, said during a national policy forum at the Peduase Lodge that the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is feeling uneasy due to the overwhelming endorsement of his 24-hour economy idea.

    During the gathering on February 23, Mahama criticised the NPP campaign team for attacking his proposal, pointing out that the NPP’s response indicates a sense of panic.

    Key members of NPP have expressed concerns about the lack of clarity in the 24-hour economy proposal, with some arguing that it is already operational.

    Mahama, undeterred by the criticisms, asserted, “The widespread acceptance of the 24-hour policy appears to have sent the NPP campaign into a tailspin, leading to a frantic effort to attack it through calumny and disinformation in the last few days.”

    He further highlighted his commitment to reducing the size of the government if elected, noting that his opponent, Vice President Bawumia, made similar promises in response.

    Mahama emphasised his dedication to delivering on his promises and criticised the NPP flagbearer for attempting to distance himself from the economic challenges.

    Mahama contrasted his performance as Vice President with the current vice president, Dr. Bawumia, stressing his record of taking responsibility.

    He argued, “Not only do I have a much better and measurable performance record in both my role as Vice President and Head of the Economic Management Team, and later as President, than my leading contender in this year’s elections, I also have a record of taking responsibility. The same cannot be said of my opponent.”

  • EOCO to launch lifestyle audits targeting celebrities, individuals with suspected unjustified wealth

    EOCO to launch lifestyle audits targeting celebrities, individuals with suspected unjustified wealth

    The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is set to conduct extensive lifestyle audits targeting celebrities and individuals suspected of amassing unjustifiable wealth, prompted by the recent guilty plea of Ghanaian social media influencer and musician, Hajia4reall, in a $2 million romance scam case.

    The decision reflects mounting worries about the perceived inability of Ghanaian authorities to stem the tide of illicit enrichment.

    In an interview on JoyNews’ Upfront, Edward Cudjoe, the head of Administration and Investigations at EOCO, revealed ongoing efforts to initiate lifestyle audits for those with unexplained wealth.

    “We are leading the charge by ourselves, making certain proposals for the amendment of the law to align with international standards. This ensures that any gaps in your financial profile are substantiated by your earnings. Any disparities must be clarified to law enforcement, and the burden of proof rests on the individual to explain the origin of those resources,” Edward Cudjoe stated.

    Cudjoe stressed EOCO’s determination to shift away from the current legal framework, proposing amendments to align with international standards.

    Under the proposed changes, individuals would be required to substantiate any gaps in their financial profiles based on their earnings.

    The burden of proof would lie with the individual to explain the origin of their resources, even before becoming subjects of investigations.

    Former Auditor General Daniel Domelevo added his voice to the conversation, cautioning that Ghana faces the risk of succumbing to the influence of drug dealers if lifestyle audits are not promptly implemented.

    Domelevo emphasized the inadequacy of current systems, urging a consideration of individual privacy concerns in the broader context of national interest and collective well-being.

    “Our systems are not fit for purpose. The argument about invading someone’s privacy needs to be considered in the context of national interest or our collective well-being. If not addressed promptly, we risk compromising individual rights for the greater good.”

    He warned that a failure to address the issue promptly could compromise individual rights for the greater good.

    Pray for Hajia4reall; no one goes to US prison and returns the same – Afia Schwarzenegger

    Popular media personality, Afia Schwarzenegger has voiced deep concerns and anxiety over Mona Faiz Montrage popularly known as Hajia4Reall‘s imminent sentencing and potential imprisonment in the United States.

    In a recent TikTok live session, Afia Schwarzenegger shared her fears, emphasising the daunting nature of serving time in a U.S. prison.

    Citing the example of highlife singer Daasebre Dwamena, she asserted that individuals rarely emerge unchanged after experiencing inprisonment in the United States.

    Afia, who strongly believes that life in American prisons is scarier than one might think, fervently prayed for divine mercy upon Hajia4Reall as she faces the impending challenges.

    Expressing her preference for a life free from legal troubles, Afia Schwarzenegger asserted, “I want to be broke and free rather than rich and incarcerated. I want to be this broke and free, knowing very well that if I close my eyes and die, I have peace with God.”

    The background to these concerns lies in Hajia4Reall, also known as Mona Faiz Montrage, recently entering a guilty plea in a U.S. Magistrate court on charges related to fraud.

    Afia highlighted that the guilty plea exposes Hajia4Reall to a maximum of five years imprisonment, emphasising the severity of the situation.

    As Hajia4Reall faces legal consequences for her actions, Afia Schwarzenegger’s worries underscore the gravity of the potential impact on the socialite’s life and future.

    He recounted the challenges he faced while supporting his girlfriend through three years of law school at the University of Ghana, only to be unceremoniously dumped after her graduation with a dismissive remark about social class.

    Hailing from Ada in the Greater Accra Region, Benjamin revealed that his then-girlfriend, originally from Wa in the Upper West Regional capital, seemingly appreciated his support without any signs of disloyalty until she completed her university education.

    During a call to Accra-based 3FM’s Drive Show on Thursday, February 22, where he requested Rudeboy’s ‘Reason With Me’ song, Benjamin explained the emotional toll of the betrayal.

    “I was working to pay the bills, and I took care of the girl from the University of Ghana Law School and paid her school fees for three years. She finished and said, ‘Benjamin, I do not know you; you are not my class,’” he narrated to Giovanni Caleb on Accra-based 3FM’s Drive Show on Thursday, February 22, when he called into the show to request Rudeboy’s ‘Reason With Me’ song.

    Responding to host Giovanni Caleb’s inquiry about the song’s dedication, he nostalgically revisited the painful episode from six years ago but expressed that he has since moved on, attributing his recovery to his faith.

    Benjamin admitted that the heartbreak initially left him unable to eat for a month, plagued by distressing thoughts.

    However, he chose to confront his emotions, gradually healing and learning valuable life lessons along the way.
    Despite the tumultuous past, Benjamin shared that his life took a positive turn after the breakup.

    He now resides in his own house and owns two commercial vehicles, serving as a significant source of income.

    In the face of adversity, Benjamin’s resilience has become a beacon of inspiration, proving that one can overcome heartbreak and emerge stronger on the other side.

  • Drug dealers now operate through pharmaceutical companies – Afia Schwarzenegger alleges

    Drug dealers now operate through pharmaceutical companies – Afia Schwarzenegger alleges

    Ghanaian socialite Valentina Nana Agyeiwaa popularly known as  Afia Schwarzenegger has exposed an escalating trend of drug lords operating with heightened sophistication in the country, particularly involving female socialites.

    These dealers, as per her claims, have adapted new strategies, operating under pharmaceutical licences to conceal their illicit activities.

    Afia Schwarzenegger highlighted a departure from conventional drug trafficking methods, emphasizing the involvement of women without direct contact with the substances until they reach their final destination.

    Her revelations came in response to recent legal issues faced by fellow socialite Hajia4Reall, where she expressed concerns about the questionable behaviours of prominent female celebrities.

    During a TikTok live session, Afia Schwarzenegger described the modus operandi, asserting, “Money laundering is nothing compared to what people in this country do now. People have taken pharmaceutical licences and are hiding under the guise of trading in drugs. They have recruited these Ghanaian socialites to also participate in that job.”

    Afia Schwarzenegger, referring to Hajia4Reall as a case study, condemned such activities as vanity.

    She pointed out the consequences that individuals engaged in such actions would soon face.

    Regarding Hajia4Reall, Afia questioned the socialite’s flamboyant displays on social media, asserting that her ill-gotten wealth and pursuit of social media relevance have now come to nothing.

    “All the things she has been flaunting on social media, where are they now? At one point, I didn’t know who was even advising her to be doing these things. The designers, the cars, houses, where are they now? Even when she was under investigation, she was still very much active on social media. It looked like she wanted to prove something to people. What are you proving? If you are not guilty, you won’t be extradited from London to the US,”Afia Schwarzenegger stated.

    She criticized the extravagant lifestyle and speculated about the fate of Hajia’s assets amidst her legal troubles.

    The news concluded with the report that Hajia4Reall had reportedly pleaded guilty in the U.S.

    Magistrate court regarding her involvement in a $2 million romance scam, marking a significant legal setback for the 30-year-old musician and businesswoman.

  • Who did Hajia4Reall snitch on in exchange for a plea deal?

    Who did Hajia4Reall snitch on in exchange for a plea deal?

    Socialite Mona Faiz Montrage also known as Hajia4Reall has admitted guilt to the ‘Conspiracy to receive stolen money’ charge among the seven counts she faces.

    The plea deal, a common legal strategy, raises speculation about the undisclosed conditions she has agreed to in exchange for the guilty plea.

    Plea bargains typically involve benefits for both the prosecution and the defendant.

    Incentives for the accused may include reduced charges or a recommendation for lenient sentencing.

    Additionally, it allows the defendant to minimise uncertainty by avoiding a court verdict.

    However, such agreements often come with conditions beyond simply pleading guilty.

    Defendants might be required to testify against others involved in the same criminal activity.

    Forbes legal advisor noted, “Sometimes, prosecutors will impose additional conditions on a deal beyond a defendant admitting guilt. For example, a prosecution might allow a defendant to plead down to a less serious charge if the defendant agrees to testify against others involved in the same criminal misconduct.”

    Hajia4Reall’s plea deal has sparked curiosity about the information she might have provided in exchange.

    While some speculate on social media, opinions from figures like Ghanaian socialite Kwadwo Sheldon and American ex-convict Showboy add complexity to the unfolding story.

    Sam Safo also known as Showboy, well-acquainted with the US court system, shared insights on Snapchat, praising Hajia4Reall’s decision.

    He compared it to his own choice of going to trial and not accepting a plea deal.

    Showboy highlighted instances of friends receiving substantial sentences and expressed admiration for those who accepted plea deals without testifying.

    “Hajia4Reall, you are quite impressive. If I were to explain how plea deals function, you would likely find it intriguing. I opted for a trial and did not accept any plea bargain. If someone can receive over $2 million and serve just 5 years, then America seems appealing. I urge for the release of my friend Darius, who is currently serving an 8-year sentence. I also call for the release of my friend Chubby, who is serving 4 years and spent nearly 4 years under house arrest, adding up to a total of 8 years. I extend blessings to all my friends who accepted plea deals without testifying.”

    The unfolding legal drama leaves the public wondering about the undisclosed terms of Hajia4Reall’s plea bargain and the potential impact on the broader case.

    What is a plea bargain?

    A plea bargain is when a defendant agrees to admit they are guilty of a criminal offense rather than making the prosecutor prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

    The prosecutor makes some type of concession to the defendant in exchange for admitting guilt, such as charging the defendant with a less serious offense or recommending less serious penalties.

    What’s in it for the prosecutor?

    When a defendant agrees to a plea bargain, it prevents the overriding of cases within the courts, which in turn allows prosecutors and judges to spend their time and resources on more controversial cases.

    It eliminates the chances of the defendant being acquitted while saving the time and cost of the prosecution going into a full trial.

    Background

    Mona Faiz Montrage, also known as Hajia4Reall, reportedly entered a guilty plea on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, in a U.S. Magistrate court regarding her fraud case.

    She only pleaded guilty to count 5 (Conspiracy to receive stolen money), which exposes her to a maximum of five years imprisonment.

    Per the US Constitution, count 5 (considered a third-degree felony) is a crime punishable by a term of imprisonment of one year or more.

    Hajia4Reall’s six other charges are the ‘Attempt and conspiracy to commit wire fraud’, ‘Fraud by wire, radio or television’, ‘Money laundering, fraud, and other conspiracies’, ‘Money laundering, fraud, and others’, ‘Sale or receipt of stolen goods, securities money’ and ‘Felony’.

    The Asantehene took the opportunity to extend an invitation to the talented musician to perform at his forthcoming 25th-anniversary celebration, musical concert, and birthday party.

    In a video shared by JoyNews and reported by GhanaWeb, Otumfuo expressed his appreciation for the role of music in society, emphasising its power to motivate and entertain.

    He conveyed his blessings and prayers for Diana Hamilton’s continued success in her musical endeavours.

    Ghanaian highlife sensation, Peter Famiyeh Bozah, known by the stage name Fameye,  bared his soul on his touching journey from poverty to fame, revealing his reliance on spiritual means, including holy handkerchiefs and oils, to break into the music industry.

    In an exclusive interview on Daybreak Hitz, he candidly shared the challenges he faced, expressing his desperation that led him to consider black magic (voodoo).

    Ultimately, the artist credits his breakthrough to seeking the face of God, highlighting a transformative shift from spiritual trials to divine blessings in his flourishing music career.

    “I bought all forms of holy handkerchiefs, oils, etc., but it did not work. I was always roaming from pastor to pastor, so honestly, I wouldn’t know which item even worked for me. However, I never tried voodoo because I am a weakling and I have a soft spirit. If not, I would have gone for it because I have really suffered.

    “But I never did juju because I am not strong enough and I have a gentle spirit, otherwise, I would have done it because I have suffered a lot,” Fameye stated.

    John Cena opens OnlyFans account

    WWE superstar John Cena has stepped into the realm of OnlyFans as part of a strategic marketing campaign for his upcoming dramedy, Ricky Stanicky.

    Launching his account on Thursday via X (formerly Twitter), Cena is offering fans a unique glimpse into his world, promising a side of himself “like you’ve never seen me before,” all tied to his role in the R-rated film.

    Devotees who swiftly followed the OnlyFans link shared by the 46-year-old wrestling icon discovered a page dedicated to Cena’s character in Ricky Stanicky.

    Described as a “renowned impersonator, philanthropist, investment banker, socialite, cancer survivor, and method actor,” the account bio tantalises subscribers with the assurance of “SPICY pics and vids! 🥵.”

    Ricky Stanicky features Cena as the titular character, an X-rated rock and roll impersonator hired by a trio of friends, played by Zac Efron, Andrew Santino, and Jermaine Fowler, to embody their fictional friend. With Cena at the center of audacious stunts, the film promises a blend of humor and drama.

    In a daring marketing move, Cena’s OnlyFans account is free to subscribe, but with an age restriction—only users 18 or older can join, and creating an account requires a credit card.

    This not only heightens anticipation for Cena’s latest role but cleverly associates the platform with movie promotion, navigating adult content connotations.

    Content on the Stanicky OnlyFans page includes a teaser clip from the film, featuring Cena dressed as Britney Spears in her iconic “..Baby One More Time” schoolgirl outfit, engaging in a provocative act with a cheeky caption.

    This innovative strategy has captured the attention of Cena’s global fanbase, building excitement for the release of Ricky Stanicky.

    Cena’s venture into OnlyFans as part of his character role showcases his versatility as an entertainer and willingness to push boundaries in engaging with his audience.

    The buzz around Ricky Stanicky’s unique marketing campaign is set to make it one of the most talked-about film releases.

    Cena’s Nigerian fans are eagerly anticipating further surprises from the WWE legend on his OnlyFans page and in his upcoming film.

    I will not settle for 20k for any show; my brand is too valuable – Fameye

    Ghanaian Hip-Life sensation, Peter Famiyeh Bozah popularly known as Fameye, firmly rejected a GH¢20,000 performance offer, highlighting the substantial growth and value of his brand.

    In an interview on Daybreak Hitz with renowned media personality Andy Dosty on Hitz FM, the “Nothing I Get” hitmaker expressed that, as a prominent artist, he would not consider such an offer, emphasising his significant investments in top-tier music videos and the overall development of his craft.

    Fameye clarified that his decision is not rooted in greed but rather in the recognition that his brand has evolved to a point where the offered amount seems relatively small.

    He emphasised that in the past, during 2019, such an offer would have enabled him to make substantial investments, like constructing multiple houses.

    “It is not as if I’m becoming greedy or anything. Right now, I can get plenty money and it would still look small to me.

    If it was 2019, and I was being paid the money I am being offered now, i would have built so many houses.“

  • Okyeame Kwame, Prince David Osei, among Bawumia’s Manifesto Committee for arts

    Renowned Ghanaian musician Okyeame Kwame and actor Prince David Osei have been selected to contribute to the formulation of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) manifesto, particularly focusing on tourism, arts, and culture.

    This dynamic duo is part of the sub-committee chaired by Juliet Yaa Asantewaa Asante, the Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority, and Akwasi Agyemang, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority.

    The committee, which also includes prominent figures like Catherine Abelema Afeku, Dr. Ama Boafo-Arthur, and Claudia Lumor, aims to address the expectations of stakeholders in the cultural and creative industries.

    Notably, the NPP’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, has pledged to implement digital platforms for Ghanaian artists, as highlighted during his recent lecture at the University of Professional Studies in Accra.

    In the past, the NPP had promised similar initiatives in its 2020 manifesto for the creative industry, committing to building a digital platform for artists to access the global market.

    Dr. Bawumia reiterated his commitment to the creative sector, promising tax incentives for film producers and musicians, as well as the implementation of an e-visa policy to boost tourism and job creation.

    Despite these assurances, the NPP has faced criticism from stakeholders in the creative industry for not fulfilling previous promises, including the establishment of the Creative Arts Fund, construction of theatres in key cities, and the creation of recording studios in strategic locations.

    Additionally, the construction of a convention and exhibition centre at the Ghana Trade Fair Company site remains incomplete.

    The committee’s task now involves shaping a cultural vision that addresses these concerns and meets the expectations of the creative community.

    Outspoken women are not marriage material – Vicky Zugah

    Seasoned Ghanaian actress Vicky Zugah unveiled the societal challenges faced by outspoken women, emphasizing the prevailing notion that such women are often considered unfit for marriage.

    Zugah, said during a discussion on showbiz A-Z on Joy FM, that in certain parts of the world, being vocal and assertive leads to the perception that a woman is not suitable for marriage.

    According to Zugah, the prevailing mindset suggests that if a woman harbours hopes of marriage or aspires to roles like politics, she should refrain from expressing strong opinions or exposing herself publicly, as doing so could result in societal blacklisting.

    The actress’s comments were made in the context of a broader discussion on why some women in showbiz choose to remain silent about instances of sexual abuse perpetrated by their male counterparts, as reported by ghpage.com.

    “In this part of the world when you’re this vocal, they think that you’re not wife material.

    So, if you’re a woman who is hoping to get married one day or who is aspiring to be maybe a politician, or any other figure, then you don’t need to say these things on air or expose yourself like this because you’ll be blacklisted,” Vicky explained.

  • ‘Always bringing God into some nonsense’ – Netizens roast Fella over comment on Hajia4real post

    Ghanaian actress and a philanthropist, Fella Makafui has reacted to the latest scandal involving Ghanaian musician Mona Faiz Montrage popularly known as Hajia4real.

    In a recent Instagram post, Fella Makafui expressed solidarity with Haja asserting she (Hajia) for real will be vindicated from her ongoing case in court.

    The actress asserted that “God got you sis. Come out more stronger mama.”

    Mona Faiz Montrage, better known as Hajia4Real admitted her involvement in laundering funds derived from a sequence of romance scams.

    She entered a guilty plea for the charge of conspiracy to receive stolen money in front of the U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave.

    The 31-year-old socialite from Ghana confessed to a single count of conspiring to receive stolen money, an offence that could lead to a maximum prison sentence of five years.

    In addition, Montrage has consented to forfeit and provide restitution of the same amount, totalling $2,164,758.41.

    Hajia4Real in November 2023 changed her legal representation.

    This decision follows her separation from Adam Cortez, who had been her attorney since the initiation of her prosecution.

    Hajia4Real submitted the request for a change in attorney to the US court on November 8, 2023, and it was granted on November 9, 2023.

    She subsequently retained the services of Ms. Eleanor Fast from ‘The Fast Law Firm PC’ to handle her case going forward.
    The specific reasons for her decision to switch lawyers were not disclosed.

    However, netizens have not taken it lightly with Fella’s recent post.

    “I went to TV3 premises to audition, I met Epixode, I began the rap without even completing, he told me to get out, at that moment I turned and walked straight to Burma Camp without looking back,” the rapper recounted in an interview with Kwadwo Sheldon.
