I Never Disrespected Dumelo, Abeiku Santana – D Black

Ghanaian rapper, Desmond Blackmore refutes certain headlines making the rounds.

Furthermore, the reports claimed that he said actor John Dumelo and radio presenter, Abeiku Santana are not better than any of the appointed Tourism Ambassadors in Ghana.

Therefore, he reacted to the news of his unprofessional jabbing of these personalities.

Moreover, according to the rapper, someone asked him a question concerning the inability of the Creative Arts Council to sign the two industry players as Tourism Ambassadors. However, he maintained that politicization in the entertainment industry should be shunned.

He made these clarifications on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM. Also, he explained that, the mere fact that Dumelo and Santana were not part of the ambassadors, doesn’t mean they will never be included.

He added that entertainers in the industry are to help create a positive image for the country. Therefore, Abeiku and Dumelo are deemed to be included since they are already towing the tourism line through their individual campaigns.

“Creative Arts made their selection; we are not politicians, just entertainers. I never said that and let me clarify to clear the air. We are just helping the country. It’s the job of the ministry, if they think you can be on their agenda then why not.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they are added. John Dumelo and Abeiku have really helped the industry. I think they are good fits. I think they’ve made a greater contribution.”

According to the ‘Kumchacha’ crooner, Funny face thinks Patapeezy suits him more than the former name.

However, in an recent interview with SVTV Africa, the ‘One Corner’ hitmaker has added another reason for his name change.

Patapeezy, who returned from Germany for a video shoot also passed France and Austria, all foreign countries.

In the course of his tour, he revealed that his fans outside were finding it difficult pronouncing Patapaa.

Instead, they were mostly calling him Patapeezy, something Funny Face had earlier proposed.

These are therefore the factors that led to his name change.

“Funny Face gave me the name Patapeezy but I didn’t like it, however, my tour outside Ghana gave me the realization that foreigners like the name Patapeezy so why not switch from Patapaa to Patapeezy.” He explained.

He also added that, even adults find fault with his former name, which seems to tag him as being ‘harsh’

Hence he’s now officially called Patapeezy because it even fits him much better.

KK Fosu ‘Quits’ Music, Manages Footballers

Gradually, our musicians are leaving behind the ‘idea’ of solely depending on their talents for survival.

This according to some is due to the fact that music is no longer paying as it used to.

Others too believe that, there’s the need for multiple sources of income for better survival skills.

A few have already gone on ahead are are actually reaping massively in their new businesses.

Hiplife aristes, K.K Fosu has also joined his colleagues and has moved from the studios to the pitch.

According to the “Yapesi” hit maker, he has players in Europe and Asia he manages and with time, they will become great assets he will be making more money from.

“I went outside the country. I went into football management. I manage footballers; I have footballers outside the country. I nurture them. I am doing some courses on football management. I have players in Europe, Asia. My investment in football will make me one of the richest artistes in Ghana in the next five (5) to ten (10) years. I started doing this in 2002. Ask Sly Tetteh and he will testify. I kept this from the public eye”, KK Fosu made this known in an interview with Suncity Radio.

Although KK Fosu failed to mention the names of the players he’s currently managing outside Ghana. However, we are optimistic he’ll get positive results in some years to come.

He also admitted that managing footballers is not that easy but he’s determined to take his players as far as he could.

As a reminder, KK Fosu used to manage Stars FC, a second division football team at Mamprobi in Accra. This presupposes that he had football administration at heart from day one.

We wish him all the best in his new endeavors.

I Approve Cosmetic Surgery Only For Medical Reasons – Gifty Anti

Years ago, just the mention of the word ‘surgery’ could make anyone, even the bravest man or woman have goose bumps on the skin.

However, the trend seems to have changed within these past few years and undergoing surgery has now become more of fashion.

These days, women go for surgeries like they go for shopping and they usually go for cosmetic surgery or the liposuction.

All these, in the name of improving their appearance, they want to have that hourglass shapes and all for what?

Not to say that every lady that has this type of shape has undergone a surgery, but hey, we’re not blind.

Almost every woman especially the youth these days have curvaceous forms which they proudly exhibit on social media.

Meanwhile, there are diverse side effects of these surgeries and that even includes death sometimes.

Perhaps, if our doctors will be more truthful and open with the public, we’ll realize that these surgeries are claiming more lives than even drug abuse is.

What’s more baffling is that, most of these overly endowed ladies end up being single forever, no husbands.

A few also after risking their lives and all that, end up being the mistresses, and girlfriends of rich men who are married to not endowed ladies.

So my question is, why take all these risks when even the men for which they claim they’re doing it for end up tagging them as ‘Side chicks’?

Ace broadcaster and feminist, Oheneyere Gifty Anti has added her two cents to the issue of whether or not cosmetic surgery is any better.

According to her, she supports cosmetic surgery if and only if it is health related. She believes that everyone has the right to do with their bodies what they deem right.

However, she will never advise a friend or her girls to undergo any of such just because they feel left out of society.

Speaking to Class91.3FM’s Class Drive, she said:

“Women have a right to do whatever they want to do but I will feel sad if a woman will go for plastic surgery because she feels that she does not belong and that she does not fit the status quo that society has designed for women.

“I will never encourage any of my friends or my girls or my daughters as I call them, to go for plastic surgery just for fun or for fashion or whatever but if it is for medical reasons of course, why not!.”
