Okyeame Kwame asserted he bears responsibility for not passing it on to the next generation.
In an interview on Starr Chat with Bola Ray, Okyeame Kwame explained that the lack of young artists interested in carrying the torch for hiplife is a major issue.

Comparing the success of hiplife in the Western world to Ghana, Okyeame Kwame emphasised that not enough has been done to uphold the genre in Ghana.
He noted that the passing of the mantle, as seen with artists like Big Daddy Kane and Jay Z, has not been effectively implemented in Ghana.
“People like myself have failed the young generation completely, because when I took on the mantle of hiplife in 1996, the last thing I knew was anthropology, sociology or marketing. I didn’t know I was supposed to carry this thing upfront and give it to someone else.
“This thing we’re doing, this is not how it’s done. Big Daddy Kane will carry to a point and give it to Jay Z, Jay Z will give it to another person, another person will give it to Kanye, that is how we keep it moving,” Okyeame Kwame stated.

I went, then I wept, and I came down. It was like somebody took a pair of forceps to draw out your heart from you,” he said.
“That boy was one in a million. He had the attributes of a daughter; he had the attributes of a son. He was a solution provider to all family problems. If I had him, I thought I had everything. For quite some time, I didn’t feel life was worth living anymore. We spoke as brothers, not as father and son.”

Ghanaian artist Raphael Camidoh Kofi Attachie known by the stage name Camidoh recently shared valuable insights into the music industry during an interview on “Uncut with D-Black,” emphasizing the need for a proactive approach.
Reflecting on his hit song “Sugarcane,” Camidoh highlighted the dedicated and persistent nature of Nigerian artists, noting that their enthusiasm served as motivation for him.

In drawing a comparison, Camidoh expressed his belief that Ghanaians could benefit from adopting a more assertive and determined approach, similar to their Nigerian counterparts.
He remarked, “We’re not as exploiting as Nigerians. That’s the only problem. When I put out Sugar Cane, I remember how I used to call people every day. ‘You don’t do some TikTok video. What’s up?’ because that’s what Nigerians are. That’s who they are. Like, they go pursue you, make you do what you have to do.
“It’s about the drive. Because you can now make me want to do something, even though I didn’t want to do it. It’s about you. How much do you want it? And that’s one thing I work with. When I saw that guy’s drive, I said to myself that even if the store was closed, I can make them sell to me. And that’s one thing I feel like many Ghanaians don’t have. For me, it’s about, do you want this song to be played? If you want it to be played, go to that DJ. Make it happen,” Camidoh stated.
Camidoh emphasized the importance of drive and determination, citing how Nigerians actively pursue opportunities for their music.
He urged Ghanaian musicians to take initiative, engage with their craft, approach DJs, and seize control of their success, echoing the proactive ethos prevalent in the Nigerian music scene.

She emphasised the need for women to channel their energy towards uplifting and promoting each other rather than participating in divisive social media spats.
“I find it so sad that in the creative space, as women, we cannot even be each other’s champions. Half of the non-essential beefs and fights that happen on social media are led by women.
“How many times do you even see guys beefing? The guys have figured it all out. All their beefs are geared towards music promotion or movies coming out, and then they create that buzz around it.
“But for us, what do we do? We drag each other down, call each other names, and say nasty things about each other when we can use it to project each other.”
“If we were each other’s champions, each other’s keepers, and each other’s friends, we would be the most powerful in this industry,” she asserted, advocating for a more supportive and collaborative environment among women in the creative arts,” Whitney Boakye-Mensah stated.

“But the other thing is when you know that the people your ministry is for are cross-partisan and that you align with this party, especially in Ghana.
“Ghanaians can tolerate the idea of gospel musicians supporting a party. I don’t know why it is,”Akesse Brempong stated.

It’s about power and control. It’s why they get so aggressive when they can’t control them any longer. It’s also why they don’t like women who have their own money!!”

In 2010 she won the Africa Movie Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

Ghanaian musicians Atongo Zimba and Noella Wiyaala have achieved recognition on the esteemed global list of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, unveiled on January 29 by the World Music Listening Post.
Compiled over two years by journalist Alan Tigay and a team of music professionals, the list aims to evaluate songs and artists within their cultural context, considering the perspectives of music critics and listeners worldwide.
Atongo Zimba’s 2004 hit, “No Beer In Heaven,” claimed the 316th spot on the list, showcasing his prowess as a griot who has shared traditional storytelling and his distinctive voice across the globe, including South America and Europe.
Wiyaala’s popular track, “Village Sex,” secured the 419th position. Known for her infectious voice in native Sisaala and Waala dialects, Wiyaala’s song promotes the tradition of abstaining from sex until after marriage, resonating with audiences and earning its place on the prestigious list.
The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama emphasized his commitment to avoiding empty promises in his campaign, distinguishing himself from the governing New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) approach to securing power.
Citing the challenging state of Ghana’s economy, Mahama expressed reluctance to make unrealistic commitments, asserting, “I don’t want to be like those dishonest people who came and promised you heaven.”
Addressing the concerns of pre-tertiary teachers in Tamale, Mahama acknowledged the economic difficulties they face.
“The economy is in a big mess and so I cannot promise everybody that we are going to increase your salaries and all that.
“I don’t want to be like those dishonest people who came and promised you heaven and said they would build factories in every district, they would build dams in every village, they would give every constituency one million dollars a year, I’m not that kind of person,” he explained.
Although he refrained from promising salary increments, he highlighted the critical issue of inadequate accommodation for teachers in rural communities.
“But we have suggested a solution for all this, we will help you with accommodation in some of the schools, so that more teachers can stay in school.”
Mahama pledged that, if elected, his government would prioritize providing suitable housing for teachers posted to such areas, aiming to alleviate the challenges they currently encounter.
Mahama further noted the reluctance of many teachers to accept postings in rural communities due to the lack of accommodation, resulting in substantial expenditures on daily commutes.
He stressed the importance of stakeholders understanding the country’s economic reality and pledged to promote transparency if he assumes power.
By doing so, Mahama aims to discourage unrealistic demands and foster a pragmatic approach to addressing Ghana’s challenges.

Renowned Ghanaian-Americanfilm director, Kuukua Eshun, shed light on the obstacles hindering women’s progress in the film production sector.
Eshun revealed that a significant barrier arises from resistance by some men who are uncomfortable with women assuming leadership roles in the movie industry.
Sharing a personal experience, Eshun recalled an incident on set where male cinematographers held a secret meeting without her knowledge to make critical decisions, bypassing her authority as the director.
“The challenge is that I’m a new thing for most people often times I’m working with men who are older than me and a hundred people for a production and 80 per cent or 90 percent are men and older than me and that’s hard.
“I’ve had a production where the men will literally go out and go and have meetings like the cinematographers they bound together and had a meeting without me and wanted to make some technical decisions.
“I was like you are on the set because I hired you…afterwards I called the cinematographers and told them I don’t like what that was. I don’t think you are a bad person but I think that you have to be more aware. I know that you are used to working with men but I am here now and let’s adjust,” she narrated.
She expressed the difficulty of being a pioneering figure in a male-dominated field, where the majority of her colleagues are older men.
Eshun emphasised the importance of unity within the creative community to overcome these challenges.
Addressing the issue of dealing with men attempting to undermine her, she highlighted her confidence and dominant personality, opting to assert herself through feminine leadership rather than resorting to masculine energy.
“I am a very confident woman and a very dominant person and very solid in what I want so I will let them now. I don’t think I would have to tap into masculine energy but I think I will tap into my feminine boss energy and that’s good enough to go.”
Calling for collective action, Eshun stressed the need for creatives in the industry to recognize and believe in the wealth of talent within Ghana and the broader African continent.
“I think that the idea of exposure and community building and uniting and coming together its powerful but if we don’t first of all have to recognise what we have as creative people on the continent in Ghana and believe in what we have.”
The renowned Gospel group, Daughters of Glorious Jesus, shared astonishing accounts of how their musical ministries brought about the healing of two individuals suffering from mental health disorders.
Lead Singer Cynthia Appiadu, in an exclusive interview with Citi TV, recounted the powerful testimonials.
One instance occurred in Virginia, where a young lady approached the group after a performance, revealing that she had been healed from a mental disorder through consistent listening to their songs.
Appiadu narrated the touching testimony, “We’ve had one person from Virginia. When we started one of our songs, we saw the girl rolling until we finished. She was just quiet and she came to us and said, ‘I just want to share my testimony.’”
The healed individual explained that she had experienced mental health challenges since the age of 16 but found solace in the Daughters of Glorious Jesus’ songs.
The healing song, ministered by the group, left her unable to stand due to the overwhelming impact.
Another testimonial came from a man in Manchester who, after being deported from Italy, faced mental trauma.
“And another man in Manchester he was an MC for the program we attended. He was in Italy and deported to Ghana as soon as he got to Ghana, he was mentally affected by the situation. But where he used to stay one person was consistently playing our songs and he will go and stand behind the window, listen and be dancing until the music stops.
“One day he was listening to the song and all he saw was he was not himself and took his bath and realized he was healed. So he even shared his testimony before he even started hosting the program in Manchester,” she narrated.
The man shared how, while residing in Ghana, he listened consistently to the group’s songs, and one day, during a session, he realised he was healed.
Cynthia Appiadu further highlighted the motivational aspect of these testimonials, asserting that such stories inspire the gospel music trio to continue creating remarkable music for the people of Ghana.
Daughters of Glorious Jesus, formed in 1989, boasts a catalogue of over a hundred songs.
The group has left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of Ghanaians for three and a half decades with their transformative hits that have touched and changed lives.

During an interview on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z with Kwame Dadzie, Jacinta recounted turning down roles after discovering significant pay discrepancies between herself and male colleagues for the same projects.
“I mean our industry is so small that I could pick up my phone and call my colleagues and say, ‘Guy, how far, these people are calling, have they called you? So what figures are we playing with so that we all appear to be on the same page? And then I realised that okay, I’m being offered GH¢5 and offering other people GH¢10,” shared Jacinta.

The comedian also highlighted instances of unfair treatment, including being denied opportunities, with one event organizer allegedly citing women as “difficult to manage.”

The demise of this friendship comes as a shock, considering the outwardly supportive nature they once exhibited toward one another on various social media platforms.
Formerly active in commenting on each other’s posts, Tonto Dikeh has notably refrained from engaging with Afia Schwarzenegger’s content for a considerable period.
The rift between them seemingly began in 2022 when Afia Schwarzenegger visited Lagos, Nigeria, and Tonto Dikeh failed to extend a welcoming reception.
This incident sparked rumours of underlying issues, despite Afia’s initial denial of any disputes.
However, recent developments affirm the conclusive end of their once-solid friendship.

He went on to issue a warning, advising Afia Schwarzenegger not to provoke him, emphasising that he wouldn’t hesitate to handle the situation firmly.
When the host raised the question of forgiveness, considering his role as a man of God, Prophet Kumchacha asserted, “She interferes in issues that don’t concern her because she thinks she is loud. God lives in me, but I don’t care. So, if you are a woman and you think you’re rude, and you plan to attack me for sharing an opinion about you, come forth, and I will insult and deal with you ruthlessly.”
Controversial Ghanaian socialite and mental health advocate Abena Korkor has shed light on the substantial weekly allowance she once received from her former partner.
In a candid discussion with ZionFelix, Korkor revealed that her ex-boyfriend was generously providing her with GHS 20,000 per week, allowing her to make significant life changes.
In an intriguing twist, she disclosed that a portion of the funds was invested in an undisclosed business venture.
Surprisingly, the mental health advocate unveiled that she entered the adult industry, specifically selling intimate products such as bedroom toys.
The income generated from this endeavour not only fueled her entrepreneurial ambitions but also contributed to securing a rental apartment.
Prior to this financial arrangement, Korkor emphasized her independence, highlighting that she used to cover her monthly rent on her own.
The newfound financial stability, she shared, even enabled her to pay a full year’s rent in advance.
