My Comedy Is Not For Any Kind Of Mind – David Oscar

Posted on by Lawrencia Larbi-Amoah

David Oscar explains his comedy.

Ghanaian comedian, David Oscar talks about what he thinks when people say he tells dry jokes. Furthermore, he says he is unperturbed.

He made these comments on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz. Moreover, the comedian said those making such comments don’t relate to his scripts. Therefore, that’s not his fault.

Furthermore, he stated that funny is subjective. Also, as a performer who knows his audience, such remarks cannot break him.

David Oscar about comments on his comedic talent

“I understand myself very well. When I hear people say I’m not funny, it doesn’t really bother me.

My comedy is not for every kind of mind… There are certain things that you may hear from a certain comedian that may not be funny to you but the at same time, other people made the laughing. Does it mean the comedian is not funny?

It only means that you were not able to situate yourself within the storyline or the scope.” 

Moreover, the comedian is now a musician. However, he says he is the best thing that happened to Ghana’s comedy sector.

Posted on by Lawrencia Larbi-Amoah

Okyeame Kwame makes a case for African prints.

Ghanaian rapper, Okyeame Kwame appeals to Ghanaians and Africans. Furthermore, he asks us to clad ourselves with local fabrics to help project and protect their identity.

Moreover, according to the Rap Dacta wearing African prints once a day is not enough.

His Instagram caption

“I think The African Wear shouldn’t be just a Friday Affair .Everyday we should wear Made in Ghana until the Countries from which we import Our Foriegn Clothing begin to wear our Styles . #wearGhana @bellocouturegh” 

The government launched the “National Friday Wear Programme”. This was an initiative aimed at projecting a unique Ghanaian identity through the extensive use of local fabric.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and President’s Special Initiative initiated the programme. They set aside Fridays for all public officers and the private sector.

Therefore, it was part of a comprehensive programme to promote made-in-Ghana goods and to revitalise the textile and garments industry.

However, the initiative isn’t catching on as expected. But Okyeame Kwame believes wearing African prints, is the way to go.

Posted on by Lawrencia Larbi-Amoah

Ekow Blankson comes for the movie industry.

He starred in movies like “Diary of the Black Hustler”, “Checkmate”, “The Intruder”, “My Mother’s Heart” and “Frozen Emotions”. Also, others include “A Woman’s Desire”, “The Secret Burden”.

However, it seems he’s not impressed with the current crop of actors and actresses on our screens. Moreover, he described them as extremely boring and “jokers”. This is in comparison to the previous generation of movie stars.

Ekow Blankson on movie industry

“I think that our new crop of actors are just jokers. Unfortunately they aren’t as exciting and real as people have done in the past. Sometimes it gets a bit worrying watching them perform.”

Furthermore, he offered his opinion on Kumawood. He described them as nothing but a “concert party” with no direction.

“I think the Kumasi movie industry is a different form of film making. It’s actually concert party where you don’t prepare a script and follow. They are given pointers and they have to create out of it and that is the concert party style and they have enhanced it into film.”

VGMA 2018: Most Popular Songs Awards Shouldn’t Be Determined By Votes – M.anifest

Posted on by Peace Agyare

Awards-winning Hip-hop artiste, M.anifest says it is unfair to use votes in determining “Most Popular Song” at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA).

M.anifest stated that he understands the motive behind the votes. However, he added that “it creates possibilities of rigging since those with money can buy votes”.

He therefore called on Charter House, organizers of the awards to change the metrics and basis upon which they determine the  winners in this category and reconsider the use of votes.

M.anifest was speaking on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM.

“I get the idea behind the votes but I think it’s flawed. I would change it if I were in control. It becomes an election so the one with money wins…”, he said.

M.anifest, born Kwame Ametepee Tsikata, is however not the first person to call on the redress of this issue. Many industry players have called on the awards scheme to check the criteria used in selecting winners of that award.

This follows Patapaa Amisty’s huge lost in the Most Popular Song of the Year awards at the recently ended VGMAs.

Patapaa, who was highly tipped to win the award with his ‘One Corner’ song lost to his Northern partner, Fancy Gadam’s Total Cheat.

PRO of Charterhouse, in an interview on Hitz FM, indicated that the votes collated by the organizers suggested that Fancy’s fans voted massively for his victory in the category.

Notwithstanding, most fans of Patapaa and some other industry players felt he was cheated. This is because for them, Patapaa’s “One Corner” song went international compared to Fancy Gadam’s “Total Cheat”.

M.anifest further urged all industry players to pay less attention to awards. This according to him is because he believes it has the tendency to lower their efforts in the industry.

“By the grace of God; there are ongoing discussions, we are looking at innovative ways to deliver blood supplies as well as essential medicines to remote areas. As the rains come in, some areas are going to be cut off… Do we allow mothers to die because we can’t have blood supplies or essential medicines? Ghana this week will be signing an MOU and by the middle of this year or by September, we will join Malawi and Rwanda with using drone technology to deliver blood supplies and essential medicines. So we are going to do that this year.” He said.

The Vice President did not give full details about this development. However, he maintained that government is willing to introduce other innovations to boost the country’s health sector.

I Broke My Virginity In 2007 To Prove To My Friends That I Wasn’t Gay

Posted on by Peace Agyare

Awards-winning Ghanaian actor, Prince David Osei has opened up about his sexual life on Atuu with Abeiku Santana.

According to the actor cum model, he was a virgin until the year 2007 when he was compelled to have sex.

He stated that he broke his virginity out of peer pressure because his friends thought he was gay.

However, to prove to them that he wasn’t gay, he decided to have sex with his then girlfriend, who is now his wife.

“The first time I had sex was in 2007. I was a virgin by then and I did that with my wife, who was then my girlfriend.”

Prince David Osei’s responded to a question whether he led a promiscuous life before getting married to his wife.

Asked why he waited for that long, he explained that he comes from a humble home. As such, he made a covenant with God that he should make him a big person in the future and in return he would remain a virgin to fulfill the covenant. He however added that he had to break that covenant because of peer pressure from his friends who thought he was gay.

“I broke this covenant out of pure pressure because my friends didn’t understand why I should be dating a girl for four years without doing anything to her. They even thought I was gay, so I have to do that to prove them wrong”, he recounted.

He added that he kissed and caressed his girlfriend at that time  alright. However, he held on till he finally had an intercourse with her in 2007.

“Kissing is different from copulation but for the in and out movement it was until 2007,” he said.

He added that he got engaged to his girlfriend in 2011 and he has three kids with her.

It is, however, not known if the wife was also a virgin at the time. However, Prince  reiterated that she is the love of his life and has never dated anyone in the movie industry.

“When I met my wife in 2003 at University of Ghana, I didn’t know that I will become an actor and it is the person I have been with. I have not dated anyone in the movie industry,” he added.

Touching on how many kids he has and the women he has had babies with, Prince David Osei said,

“I have three kids with the same woman I got engaged to in 2011.”
