Month: December 2018

Gold dealership firm, Menzgold Ghana rubbished reports on social media. A few days ago, posters circulated that Menzgold is set to organize an end of year “Customer Bash”.

Moreover, the artwork says the bash is on December 31, 2018.

Therefore, this infuriated many customers who took to social media to pour out their frustrations.

However, they released a statement to quash claims about the concert

Menzgold statement about customer bash

DISCLAIMER

My attention has been drawn to a fictitious artwork which is circulating on social media and other platforms claiming the institution will be organizing an “OFFICIAL MENZGOLD CUSTOMER BASH”

I would like to state categorically that Menzgold Ghana has not released any artwork to that effect, and this could only be the work of unscrupulous vicious minds.

Therefore, customers are encouraged to disregard and treat this fake artwork with the contempt it deserves.

Thank you

Signed

Nii Amarh Amarteifio Head of Communications

The Founder and Leader of Glorious Word and Power Ministry International, Rev. Prophet Isaac Owusu Bempah reportedly destroyed some Hot FM property. Moreover, this was after claims by Evangelist Dominic Appiah that Bempah was an occultist.

A lot of Ghanaians described his actions as needless. However, Efia Odo took a different stance on the issue.

In an Instagram comment, Efia applauds the man of God for his actions. Also, she makes the point that Ghanaians should allow him to show the radio station that erred. Efia added that people should understand that the man of God has the right just like any other person out there to defend himself if he feels people want to tarnish his image. The ‘Heels and Sneakers’ actress ended by stating that Rev. Owusu Bempah is not perfect and has every right to get upset.

The Founder and leader of Glorious Word Power Ministry, Rev Owusu Bempeh unleashes his fury. Moreover, he destroyed some equipment inside the studios of Hot FM. This happened during an interview that took a different turn.

Reportedly, the man of God got angry after the host of the programme asked “unnecessary questions”. Moreover, the questions were unrelated to his interview.

Earlier on, an Evangelist Dominic Appiah accused Owusu Bempah of belonging to an occult group. Rev Owusu Bempah got furious over the comments.

“I didn’t come here to be interviewed and asked silly questions. You are acting just like Satan tempting Jesus to turn stone to bread. I am here for that Dominic guy who claims I belong to an occultic group. You just can’t bring people here to tarnish my hard-earned reputation. I came here to meet him”

The man of God, whilst storming out of the studios, destroyed a laptop and a other few equipment.

Dancehall artist, Shatta Wale reacts to the case by US-based Ghanaian lady, Hilda. According to her, he scammed her of an amount of $45,000.

Moreover, according to Hilda, she has lots of documents, chats, and phone call conversations. Therefore, the hitmaker truly duped her.

Shatta responded to Hilda’s allegation in a live video on Facebook. Moreover, he expressed shock that a woman who lives in the USA could fall for such a scam. She did it without checking and verifying the account and number of the person she claimed she was talking to.

Also, Shatta dared Hilda to report him to either the police in the USA or even come down and report him if she’s sure she was truly scammed by him like she’s saying.

Shatta, also threatened to sue her for defamation of character and says he will make sure his lawyers deal with her for tarnishing his image.

AMG rapper Medikal has been making a lot of headlines continuously for weeks now.

In a latest post however, the rapper is not flaunting his new love Fella Makafui.

Instead he seems to be reminiscing about the good times he had with his ex Sister Derby.

Well, that could be the only reason why he would wake up at 12am to tweet that he misses her right.

We’re wondering where Fella was as of the time Medikal was missing his old love though.

Dancehall sensation, Shatta Wale is has new trouble on the horizon. This is after a US-based Ghanaian lady accused him of scam.

Moreover, the lady identified as Emmanuella Ofori said the self-acclaimed dancehall king extorted $45,000 (GHC 223, 000) from her. She spoke about this in a video on social media.

In the video, Emmanuella recounted her ordeal. According to her, she planned for her wedding and wanted to make it grand.

Therefore, she reached out to Shatta Wale on Facebook so that he can grace the event and perform accordingly. She added that Shatta Wale gave her his WhatsApp number so that they can further talk on the deal.

She noted that Shatta Wale asked her not to pay the money through his record label, Zylofon Media because they pay him peanuts.

And that he also needs money to buy himself out of his contract with Zylofon, therefore, she should deal directly with him.

They then became friends and then one day Shatta Wale told her, he wanted to move his bank money from United Kingdom to USA so he need some money to aid the bank transfer. From Emmanuella’s account, she fell for the scam and transferred a huge sum of $45,000 to the artist.

Fast forward, “Shatta Wale” cut ties with her and blocked her on all social media platforms.

Ghanaian-Gambian actress, Princess Shyngle talks about her past relationships. She spole about them on the Late Afternoon Show on GHONE and hosted by Berla Mundi.

Moreover, according to Shyngle she found it hard to reject all the men that come to her. However, they treat her unfairly because “they go away soon”.

“As a woman, it is hard for me to reject all the men who come my way. All the men I mean the rich, poor, politicians but as soon as they come in get in there they go away” 

Furthermore, she stated that at a point, she advised herself about the many men that come her way. She decided to take her time and choose one.

She was on the show together with rapper Edem and others. They discussed what men look out for in women when choosing a wife.

Shingle admitted to being “indecent on social media”. However, she stated she still expected her “real man” to love her for what and who she is.

Patapaa’s ‘young brother’ Kwame Nkansah talks about his music career. Moreover, he stated that he has no challenger in the Ghanaian music industry. This is as far as highlife music is concerned.

Kwame Nkansah bragged about his talent in an interview with Kumasi-based radio Metro Fm.

The young talented singer said:

“most people doing music have their target but for me, no one is my target. I’m trying to bring something unique. I’m not trying to do a political song because of something or otherwise. The creativity is there and I’m not into competition though competition is part of the showbiz right now. But I’m not into competing”. He said.

“I will try to work hard and after Ghanaians have accepted me I will give them good music then I’m done” 

“I’m not in to impress but it is God who is helping me go through”
