But the ace journalist has come out to express her surprise at the rate at which the news was highly publicized.

According to her, she couldn’t fathom why this had to be given major attention when there are

far better things to report about.

She made this known when a fan of hers expressed his thoughts about the high publicity of the same news.

She posted:

“Citizen Seth brilliantly sums up my surprise. I can forgive bloggers who jumped onto the bandwagon but the radio stations that made this a major topic this morning shocked me the most. Of all the issues to discuss in Ghana!”

She however indicated that she understood what happened because she knows Sarkodie is a big

brand and whatever he does gets attention.

“But I get it. @sarkodie has a top top brand. When he sneezes, you all catch cold. #SarkNation #rapgod”, She added.

It is however not clear if indeed is now the PRO for the music label or not.

Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Made Histroic Visit To Kyebi

Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, made a historic visit to Kyebi, the traditional capital of Akyem Abuakwa. Moreover, this came about at the invitation of the Okyenhene, Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu was a Special Guest of Honour at the 75th Anniversary of the death of a former Okyenhene, Nana Sir Ofori Atta. Nana Ofori Atta is the source of transformation for Akyem Abuakwa.

Furthermore, this visit is one for the history books. This is because the last an Asante king went to Kyebi he died. That incident occurred over 300 years ago. Also, the Asantes and Akyems were once bitter rivals following ancestral wars fought between their forefathers in colonial Ghana. That day in 1717 was Opemsuo Osei Tutu’s last as his dreaded army, victorious in dismantling the Denkyira empire, was halted in their tracks before returning to Kumasi.

The historic visit showed a cordial relationship between the two great Overlords.

Also, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin are using their influence to create a deeper sense of unity. Hopefully, this development will attract development and investors into their respective towns.

Mel Davies talks about managers and artistes seeking spiritual backing

“I had to travel with my artiste to Brong Ahafo for spiritual fortification by a spiritualist, something my artistes believed in so much so I couldn’t let him down but to go with him on the journey.” 

“We sometimes sacrifice to the extent of visiting Fetish priests and other spiritualists just to have a successful career for our artistes.”

Moreover, he added that managing an artist is one of the most difficult jobs on mother earth. It requires constant sacrifice on the part of the manager. Sometimes, these sacrifices are not seen or appreciated.

issue and very soon members will be credited with their first royalties for the year 2018.

GHAMRO wishes to seize this opportunity to apologise for the delay, and to

encourage members to be patient as plans are far advanced for prompt distribution.

This delay has been occasioned by processing difficulties with the State Agencies

through which the Blank levy is paid.

Shatta Wale speaks on the situation with Strika.

Over the past week, social media contemplated the issue of Strika. Furthermore, everyone tried to understand what went wrong.

Some people blamed the young boy’s family for their irresponsibility. Also, others blamed his management.

Moreover, Ghanaian Dancehall artiste, Shatta reacts to the story. According to him, he understands true “ghetto life”.

Therefore, the boy cannot be blamed for his current life. However, blame is on the management and the makers of the film. This is because they introduced the innocent boy into leading that gangster life.

Therefore, we should keep it in mind that not every person can get that ability to control his life after being introduced into such gangster life. He spoke about this during an interview on Zylofon FM’s Showbiz Agenda.

Ghana May Lose Zylofon To Nigerians If Care Is Not Taken – Willi Roi

Willi Roy, manager of the Zylofon Arts Club has cautioned Ghanaians to be be patriotic towards media giant, Zylofon.

According to the outspoken music producer, Ghana may lose Zylofon Media to Nigerians if care is not taken.

“Nigerians are fond of fully taking great opportunities and if care is not taken they will take over Zylofon Media”, he said.

Roi’s statement is as a result of the ongoing preparations by Nana Appiah Mensah, CEO of

Zylofon Media to launch another arm of the outfit in Nigeria come Saturday.

He further mentioned that, just as Ghanaians lost “Azonto” music to Nigerians because we did

not appreciate its value, we may lose Zylofon.

Willi opined that, the Nigerian market is overpopulated in the area of entertainment. This, he is certain poses a threat to Ghanaians, should Zylofon be launched there.

Zylofon Media, after less than two years of existence in Ghana has expanded it’s wings to other countries.

The outlet has also introduced several schemes for Ghana’s entertainment industry. All these are in order to better the state of the industry.

Though Zylofon is in to help, Roi assumes that many Ghanaians have not accepted the initiative, which he deems worrying.
