Rapper, M.anifest talks about the feminist movement. According to him, he worries about why a lot of men are unwelcoming to movements that seek best for women.

He made this statement in a Twitter discussion on feminism started by rapper Edem yesterday.

Edem tweeted earlier to ask about feminism. His question started the whole debate. He tweeted:

“I need to get a lot of insight into this whole Feminist thing so well no girl would just go and liar my daughter to hate men….Who got the wisdom bag on feminism in gh?.” 

M.anifest and Edem chop it up about feminism

The ‘godMC’ replied

“It’s a dangerous place to begin my brother. Similar principles apply just as being pro black is not being anti white. It’s easy for the internet to cast aspersions on struggles for equality for women under the guise of its a “hate men” movement. We have to do better us men.” 

However, another Twitter user replied to his sentiments:

“MOST of it [feminist advocacy] is a hate man movement, more of a coup detat against a natural order. We don’t need equality,we need equity(Balance,not same-ness) M/F are wired differently socially, biologically, psychologically. There are advantages in respect to some natural predispositions.”

M.anifest cautioned Kofi not to wade into an argument that seeks to deprive one off their rights because of their sex.

“Be careful of these nature arguments. It’s been used by many an oppressor. Organs and hormones should not stand against equal pay, etc or support misogyny. Why does a pro women movement make so many men uncomfortable? How does it immediately become about hating men? Baffling.” 

The A&R manager at the Zylofon media, Bulldog talks about Shatta Wale.

He made these startling revelations to Lexis Bill on Joy FM’s ‘Behind the Fame’ show.

He disclosed that he believes Shatta Wale has done a lot in the music industry. Also, he gained a legendary status. Therefore, he should bow out now when the applause is still very high.

Bulldog about advising Shatta Wale to retire from music

“You know retire…Shatta has done so much…Shatta has reached that legendary status and if he bows out now, you know like Jay Z did in his time, he will be immortalized”

He disclosed that he has on countless occasions given Shatta this advice. However, he seems unperturbed about it as he likes working on more music each and every day.

“He won’t take that advice, I told him you can get paid so much but you do more than you are paid for. He doesn’t go a day without recording five or six songs…when he is traveling he has his studio with him”.

Also, the A&R manager of Zylofon Media gave some options of things Shatta can venture into when he decides to retire from music.

 “He is a good motivational person when he dedicates his life to go around the world to sit and talk to people who are finding it difficult to burst from all the issues that are tracking them down, he can get into them”.

Award-winning gospel artiste, Joe Mettle states that the construction of a national cathedral in Ghana is as important as building hospitals for the people. Therefore, government should do both if it can.

The gospel artiste made these statements while speaking in an interview on the Class Drive on Class 91.3FM.

Joe Mettle on National Cathedral and its importance

“The argument is there, people are saying the Cathedral or the things that are needed, all of them are important. These are not decisions we make for the government. They know what they’re capable of and what they can afford and what they can’t afford. Therefore, I think all of it is important, any of them is important.

“The argument was the fact that if we are doing the cathedral while we have other social responsibilities or other issues like hospitals and other things, they all need to be built, the hospitals are very important, the cathedral needs to be built, they need to be built.”

Minister Mettle emphasised that both are important and should be looked at concertedly.

“It’s important. However, at the same time we should look at all of it, we can’t do one and leave the other, if we can do all, that’s it.”

Ghanaian entertainment critic and an artiste manager, Mr Logic talks about music.

According to him, 80% of Ghanaian songs on the airwaves is not the best way to tackle the current problem that the Ghanaian entertainment industryfaces

Moreover, according to him, the best solution to this problem is to make sure Ghanaian artistes releases good songs. The kind of songs that can cross the Ghanaian border. He made these statements during an interview on Zylofon Showbiz Agenda with Sammy Flex.

Mr Logic on Ghanaian music and good content

“The content of the song should be good, and then we wouldn’t have a problem with crossing borders”

Also, he added that, if the contents of the songs are good we will need less effort in terms of promoting the song to the international level.

Moreover, he made reference of the Nigerian uprising artiste, Victor AD’s just dropped single track dubbed “Wetin We Gain”. He stated that the song is a hit in Ghana because the content is good.

“Because his song has great lyrical content, with about three months of promotion in Ghana, it is one of the biggest hits currently.”

Controversial Ghanaian dancehall music, Shatta Wale talks about Ghana Music Awards. According to him, Stonebwoy’s award was for him. However, he missed out because CharterHouse banned him.

He made these assertions during an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz Show. He argued that Stonebwoy won the award had it not been the 2013 ban placed on him by the organizers of the Award scheme.

Also, according to him, Charter House and the entire entertainment industry were not fair with him.

“You the Ghana Music Awards wey dem do things make Stonebwoy win by my award. My guy, don’t let us play with it.

You people didn’t fight for it. You people should have fought for it. A whole Charterhouse will ban one Ghanaian artiste and the whole industry will sit down and watch”

Furthermore, he explained that the reason why he recorded video clips to slam Charterhouse and its CEO. He stated that the videos were to fight for what was rightfully his.

“When I say all the awards Stonebwoy won, I should have won them, you should understand. I was fighting for what was rightfully mine. The award I went for which I thought, the streets knew that I really deserved that award and they gave it to somebody…I will fight for my right, that is what I did”

Musician, Guru and his team donated a brand new ambulance to the people of Jomoro Constituency. This constituency is in the Western Region of Ghana. The purpose of the ambulance is to aid in health care delivery.

Moreover, this year the issue of ambulances became a huge issue of national discussion. Many people died in this country both in Rural and Urban Communities as a result of unavailability of ambulances to cart sick people to various health care facilities.

It is disheartening that a Ghana cannot boast of about 50 Ambulances that are in good and proper conditions which can be used to safeguard emergency situations when the need arises.

Therefore, it seems the issue of ambulances was important to the musician. He and his team went to the aid of these people and provided them with an ambulance.
