My heartfelt apologies to my brother Funny Face, may God guide you through this,” Shatta Wale stated on Facebook.

“The creative arts industry must break the cycle of self-punishment through depression and frustration. It’s time to speak up and seek help. What’s happening to Funny Face isn’t solely a marital issue; it’s indicative of deeper systemic challenges within our creative industries. Let’s acknowledge the dysfunction in our structures and stop pretending everything is fine. Speak up, it’s time for change!! Sorry my brother funny face ,May God see you thru [sic],” he wrote on Facebook.
On Sunday, March 24, 2024, Funny Face, renowned both as a comedian and actor, was involved in a car accident in Kasoa, located in Ghana’s Central Region.
Footage circulating on social media depicted concerned bystanders gathered around the actor on that Sunday evening.
An eyewitness recounted hearing a collision shortly after parking their own vehicle. Upon turning, they witnessed Funny Face’s car colliding with a woman accompanied by two children and a man on a motorbike.

The comedian, who had previously battled depression and sought treatment, appeared to be grappling with emotional instability stemming from the ongoing conflict with his former partner. This situation had prevented him from seeing his children for the past four years.
In a poignant expression of his distress, Funny Face had recently expressed his intention to relocate and start afresh in an attempt to distance himself from his anguish. This declaration preceded the unfortunate accident.
Shatta Wale himself announced the decision on Facebook on March 22, citing financial disagreements with other collaborators on the album.
This announcement stirred up discussions among Wale’s fans, especially since the album featured collaborations with artists like Tekno and Bounty Killer. To address the situation, Sammy Flex took to Shatta Wale’s YouTube channel on March 23 to provide clarification.
Sammy Flex explained that the album was removed due to Shatta Wale’s dissatisfaction with the collaboration dynamics, particularly concerning financial matters.
He emphasised that, despite Shatta Wale’s status as an independent musician who invests significantly in his projects, he expects the same level of commitment from his collaborators.
The removal from YouTube is seen as a step towards resolving these issues, following fruitful discussions between both parties. Flex assured that the team will explore alternative options to address the matter and restore normalcy.
“As an artiste, at every point in time, he has the way he wants his things to go. At every point in time, if these things change, definitely the artiste will not be happy. The artiste will not be happy.
“Knowing the investment that he has also put in, he would want the other partners to also come in with the same energy. He would want the other partners to also come in with the same force. So that when our powers all come together, it will combine to give us the necessary results that we are looking for.
“But as an independent artiste, as someone who is funding all his projects, he wasn’t seeing that. And I’m sure, like I said, there is a process for achieving some of these objectives. And to him, he thinks this is one of the first processes to handle that. “So to avoid any back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, let me first put the one on YouTube down. When I put the one on YouTube down and we can have some conversations and it works, I’m sure we can get back to normal,” he explained.
Even though the ‘Konekt’ album has been removed from YouTube, Sammy Flex encouraged fans to continue listening to it on other digital streaming platforms such as Spotify, Boomplay, Audiomack, and Apple Music.
He assured fans that the team is actively working on finding solutions behind the scenes, emphasizing that this action does not signify the end of the artist’s opportunities.
“There are still some options that we can explore, and that is what the team will try to do behind the scenes before we move forward. But like I’m saying, it does not take away the songs from online markets. It takes the song from only the YouTube app, on Shatta Wale’s page.
“As much as I know, the rest of the marketing, the digital platforms also have their songs there. All the rest of their DSPs, also have their songs there. So beyond having it on YouTube, you can also access their songs on the rest of the platforms,” he said.

In an interview with GTV’s Kafui Dey, Shatta Wale explained, “Psalm 35 is one of my longest scriptures; anytime I’m worried, I open it. It’s a weapon that shields you from life’s attacks, so I read it constantly. Sometimes, I bathe with it.”
Despite concerns from friends about potentially desecrating the Bible, Shatta Wale emphasized that his actions stem from personal belief and advised against blindly following such practices.
While acknowledging that his approach may seem unusual, he stated, “My friends don’t understand why I tear the pages of the Bible, but I tell them it’s just the word of God I want to be in me. Everyone has his or her belief. I am not advising anyone to go tear the Bible.”

Entertainment pundit Sally Frimpong Manso, also known as Sally Mann, has launched a series of personal attacks against Shatta Wale, prompted by his team’s reaction to her previous criticisms regarding his performance at ‘The Africa Games’ in Accra.
During a discussion with Andy Dosty on Adom TV, which was monitored by TIGPOST, Sally expressed her disappointment with Shatta Wale’s performance, describing it as lacking in quality for such a prominent international event.
“It was a good platform for Shatta Wale, who is one of the most popular musicians in Ghana, but his performance was so disappointing and amateurish. He was not singing the songs properly and was miming.
“They should have brought people closer to him on stage because he is not confident being alone. He was so dull as if he had not held a microphone before. His choice of music was not the best, he could have used other better songs,” she earlier stated.
After Sally’s remarks, Shatta Wale took to Facebook to indirectly criticize her. Shortly thereafter, Shatta’s manager, Sammuel Baah (known as Sammy Flex), also addressed individuals who had criticized the artist’s performance, including Andy Dosty and Sally Mann, and strongly rebuked them.

Asserting her capability to confront Shatta Wale physically, Sally Mann issued a challenge for a physical altercation.
“If they want to bring it on, they can bring it on. I am waiting. I am not afraid of Shatta Wale. I can beat him if ever we meet one-on-one. I can beat him. He should let all his Shatta Movement members excuse us and he will see. I will beat him,” she fumed.
Sally continued, “I still maintain my stance that Shatta Wale looked like a lost puppy, he was confused, looked childish, and amateurish. Who is Shatta Wale that we cannot talk about? I couldn’t even sleep last night; I couldn’t even eat. The nerve! Shatta Wale, Sammy Baah Flex and the rest of the people following him think they are immortal. They won’t ever die, right?
“Shatta Wale attacked me unprovoked and even insulted my private parts. He can’t insult the likes of Despite, Fadda Dickson, Andy Dosty, and co and gets upset when we criticize him. Don’t you know these people have business partners?
“I heard that the little puppy has been calling certain people for my number. What do they want to come and do to me? To come and kill me? I am waiting,” she added.

A member of the renowned music group TH 4 Kwages, Fiifi Selah, has claimed that reggae-dancehall artists Samini and Shatta Wale copied his singing style.
He suggests that both musicians drew inspiration from his songs for their initial hit tracks, which helped them break into the music industry.
Selah shared these views during an interview with Roselyn Felli on Joy Prime’s Friday edition of the Prime Morning show.
“Samini copied me. He listened to my music to write his ‘Linda’ song. Shatta Wale also listened to one of my Sass Squad songs to become Shatta Wale. They all came from me,” he said.
Fiifi Selah’s assertion came after he performed acapella and the host questioned whether he or Samini had copied each other due to their similar styles. He considers himself the pioneer in reggae-dancehall music, stating that all artists in that genre have followed his lead.
He recounted promoting reggae-dancehall music aggressively during his time hosting a radio show, which helped popularize the genre in Ghana. According to him, “So, within my time, reggae-dancehall became big in Ghana.”
Fiifi Selah also mentioned that Sarkodie is the only rapper capable of following and imitating his rap style, as it is not a style that every musician can easily flow with.
“Nobody can rap my rap; only Sarkodie can do it because my rap is hard to get,” he bragged.
A member of the esteemed music ensemble TH 4 Kwages, Fiifi Selah, formerly recognized as Scooby Selah, has sparked controversy with allegations that reggae-dancehall luminaries Samini and Shatta Wale imitated his vocal style.
In an interview with Roselyn Felli on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning show, Fiifi Selah boldly proclaimed, “Samini copied me. He drew inspiration from my music for his song ‘Linda’. Shatta Wale also drew from one of my Sass Squad tracks to shape his identity. They all took cues from my work.”
This assertion followed Fiifi Selah’s performance of an acapella, which prompted the host to question the resemblance between his style and Samini’s.
Positioning himself as a trailblazer in reggae-dancehall, Fiifi Selah asserted that all artists within the genre followed his lead.
He fondly reminisced about his efforts to vigorously promote reggae-dancehall music during his tenure hosting a radio show, which significantly contributed to the genre’s rise in popularity in Ghana.
Fiifi Selah further boasted that only Sarkodie possesses the skill to replicate his unique rap style, emphasizing its complexity and distinctiveness.
“No one can match my flow; only Sarkodie can come close because my style is intricate,” he proclaimed.
Despite his bold assertions, Fiifi Selah expressed pride in the influence his music has had on other musicians over the years, citing Kofi Kinaata and Ayesem among others.
TH 4 Kwages, formerly known as Sass Squad, emerged in the late ’90s, leaving an indelible mark with hits like ‘Nana Esi,’ ‘Kwakyemu,’ ‘Menya Obaa Fefe,’ ‘Serwaa,’ and ‘Wongye.’
In a surprising turn of events at the Telecel launch event today, an elderly man voiced his frustration towards renowned Ghanaian musician Sarkodie, accusing him of failing to engage in the traditional act of spraying cash.
The man, in a viral video, made a stark comparison between Sarkodie and fellow artist Shatta Wale, whom he praised for his generosity in showering money on fans during public appearances.
“Sarkodie didn’t spray any cash! Look at Shatta Wale, he would happily shower us with money,” the man exclaimed, drawing attention from bystanders and causing a momentary pause in the proceedings.
The incident occurred amidst the lively atmosphere of the Telecel launch, where attendees had gathered to witness the unveiling of the telecommunications company’s latest offerings.
On February 28, 2024, Vodafone Ghana underwent a significant transformation, rebranding to Telecel Ghana under the umbrella of Ghana Telecommunications Company Limited (GTCL).
This strategic decision was made possible by the approval granted by the National Communication Authority (NCA), allowing Telecel to acquire Vodafone Ghana and assume a majority shareholder position.
While the Government of Ghana, represented by the State Interests and Governance Authority, retains a minority stake of 30% in Telecel, the transition marks a new chapter for the telecommunications industry in Ghana.
With a strong foothold in the market, Vodafone Ghana, now operating as Telecel Ghana, holds an 18% share of the mobile telephony market. Despite the rebranding, the company’s registered name, Ghana Telecommunications Company Limited (GTCL), remains unchanged, preserving all licenses and regulatory approvals.
Patricia Obo-Nai, the Chief Executive Officer of Vodafone Ghana, assured customers in a communication that the transition to Telecel Ghana heralds a continuation of seamless business operations, robust network connectivity, and elevated service standards.
The enthusiasm expressed by Vodafone Ghana for this transition underscores its commitment to providing exemplary services to its valued customer base amidst the evolving telecommunications landscape in Ghana.

The source claims that Hajia4Real was forced to decide between serving at least 20 years in prison and disclosing the identities of her criminal partners when her case reached a problematic point.
According to the source, Hajia4real faced charges in six cases and was facing a 20-year prison sentence.
According to the source cited, Nhyiraba Kojo, a musician from Ghana, is one of the five individuals Hajia4Real.
“The musician Hajia4Real mentioned his name is Nhyiraba Kojo. The information I have gotten from the American headquarters is that Hajia4Real mentioned Nhyiraba Kojo’s name. They said there were 5 people Hajia4Real snitched because they decided to send her to trials and she said no she would rather snitch. She will say everything she knows. That is why they gave her 5 years. That 5 years is the first case. It is her first case. The cases against her are 6 in total, so if she is to get 5 years for each she would be going to jail for like 20 years. So, if she is sent to prison for 5 years for her first case, they will still be investigating into his other 5 remaining cases”, the source said.
Meanwhile, rumors state that the FBI is in Ghana in order to detain Nhyiraba Kojo, a musician from Ghana, and other individuals that Hajia4Real allegedly tipped off about.
