Belated happy birthday to Nana Ama McBrown.

Ghanaian actress, Nana Ama Mcbrown celebrated her 41st birthday yesterday. Therefore, she released amazing new photos to celebrate her day.

However, the actress’ Wikipedia page pegs her age at 45 years today.

Moreover, speaking on the “Celebrity ride with Zionfelix” last year, the actress revealed that the media gave her a wrong age.

“I am 40 years now and I am very proud of my age because I still look good, I take care of myself and it is so great to know that you are growing fresh every day. Sometimes I laugh about the age they give me.” 

McBrown essentially stumbled into acting. She answered an auction call on the radio by Miracle Films and was hired to do costuming instead. However, on the set, she was able to snag the lead role after the director, Samuel Nyamekye, felt that she was better suited for the role. In 2001, her first movie, That Day, was released launching her career.

However, some of the artists reacted to the allegations. Artists like Edem, Captain Planet and Keche all said they took nothing for the concert.

All the three musicians in a social media made it known to the public that their performance was to honour the deceased.

Bullet, former manager of Ebony has also denied sending any list which has names of artists and their charges to Ebony’s father, Nana Poku Kwarteng.

Hiplife artiste, Belinda Nana Akua Amoah aka MzBel expresses her disappointment in the president. Furthermore, her disappointment stems from what she describes as the government’s failure to fulfill its enormous campaign promises.

The singer is a staunch supporter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Moreover, in her view, she believes that the NPP over the last eighteen months performed abysmally.

She made these statements in a video on social media. In the video, she mocked the president and called him William. Furthermore, she described him as a misled leader and has displayed gross incompetence in his tenure of office. Therefore, he must resign for former president John Dramani Mahama to come to the rescue of frustrated Ghanaians.

Mzbel talks about Nana Addo stepping down for Mahama

‘’Misleading president!!!! But bro Willie if you will accept, kindly step down so those misleading you be put to shame and accept that he has been misled so that Mahama can take over.” 

“How could the misleaders misled a grown man like that, the misleaders don’t respect at all.’’ 

Also, she cautioned the president Nana Akufo-Addo over the poor state of roads in various parts of the country. The state of the roads led to various accidents resulting in deaths of commuters in the process.

“Uncle Willie (Nana Akufo-Addo), I’m on the Kumasi road but the road is not smooth. Uncle Willie is being misled’’.

However, a few months ago, the artiste rebuked NDC after executives of the party abandoned her when she sustained injuries in an accident.

Therefore, these pronouncements surprised a lot of her followers.

eShun on Wendy Shay’s singing and stagecraft

“I believe she is very talented but I saw a video of her singing at an event and I would like to advise her to get a voice coach or something to coach her. I have been there before and I believe Bullet is watching. I’m good without a voice coach though. Wendy if you want to fight well with me then get a voice coach because Efya and co did voice training.” 

Music producer, Mark Okraku Mantey shared his sentiments about Ghanaian rapper, Akoo Nana. Furthermore, his words were with regards to the comment made by Akoo Nana concerning Menzgold-BOG Brouhaha.

However, some die-hard fans of the Ghanaian rapper did not spare Mark Okraku Mantey for the words he used against the Kasoa based rapper.

A fan recalled that Mark Okraku Mantey back in 2008 slammed Shatta Wale as a “nobody” artiste. Therefore, he cannot talk about politics because Shatta Wale can feed his entire generation.

Inna Patty over accusations by former beauty queens

“We remain unshaken… it’s deliberate sabotage. At the right time it will come to light.” 

Furthermore, she said no contestant is tasked to raise sponsorship for the event, except their “social projects.”

The statement comes after some former queens accused Inna Patty of pimping them to some men in exchange for favours.

“Come out with names, and let’s take it up legally or shut up.” 

Also, she described the allegations as “ugly”, “pettiness” and “reckless” which do not warrant her attention. She said she has never engaged in pimping and will remain focused in helping women impact society.

“If you can’t provide evidence – the men and contacts – shut up.

When it comes to sponsorship people or these young girls don’t raise them for me. What sponsorship do they raise, theirs is for their social projects; it’s not my job to do that, it’s their job.

“Your ability to negotiate professionally and convince corporate Ghana and you’re able to critically think on your feet, believe me these skills will be with you for life. That is what the brand offers.”

She says the issue is up in court to address the allegations legally.

Renowned playwright and CEO of Roverman Productions, Ebo Whyte talks about the roles of Africans in Africa.

According to him, African can do well enough, given the right space, without the white man’s seal of endorsement.

Moreover, he says it is the reason all of his plays are on Ghanaian stages.

Ebo Whyte on Africans and white people validation

In his view,

“we don’t need to give them (the white man) that authority over what we can do.”

However, that is only one reason for his deep commitment to keeping his art home. His other reason is

“I commit to building a platform so strong that we’ll have people buying tickets to come here (Ghana) to watch a show.”

Furthermore, the playwright’s desire to attract tourists to Ghana with his plays is very applause-worthy in an industry where success is easily marked by how much Europeanism one can sample into a work.

In fact, he looks forward to creating art that is vibrant enough to compete internationally, instead of getting a nod by them.

“If I’m going to travel, there must be an invitation from the ground, from a very credible, reputable organization.” 

“I am not going to hustle at an embassy.” 

He made all these statements in an interview with Ghanaweb.
