Ghanaian rapper Kwame Yogot has vowed to abandon his music career if fellow artist Kuami Eugene regains commercial success. The statement came in an interview with Fiifi Pratt, where Yogot declared he would leave the industry permanently should Eugene achieve another musical breakthrough.
Yogot attributes the dispute to what he describes as a betrayal involving his music being sold to a political party without adequate compensation. He further alleges Eugene has withheld fair payment from artists working with him.
The two musicians previously collaborated on the popular track Biibi Besi. That past partnership has not diminished Yogot's current hostility toward Eugene.
Ghanaian reggae and dancehall artist Samini revealed he lived with an undiagnosed hernia for a decade before having it surgically removed. The musician told Dr. Assan's Lifestyle and Health Show that the condition went undetected because it lacked typical symptoms.
Samini said his understanding of hernias was limited to visible testicular swelling from childhood observations. He later learned the medical issue can manifest as a gradual abdominal problem without obvious external signs.
The performer chose surgery after recognizing potential risks of leaving the condition untreated. Recovery took about three months, which he managed privately without public disclosure.
Samini shared his medical journey to promote health awareness and...

A French court handed down a life sentence without parole on Saturday to an Algerian woman convicted of raping, torturing and killing a 12-year-old girl in Paris. Dahbia Benkired, 27, became the first woman to receive this maximum punishment under French law for murdering Lola Daviet in 2022. The judge cited extreme cruelty and total dehumanization in the verdict.
Authorities found the victim's body inside a trunk at the apartment building where her parents worked as caretakers. Security footage showed Benkired approaching Daviet after school on Oct. 14, 2022, then leading her into a flat. The girl died from asphyxiation after being bound with duct tape.
Benkired had overstayed a student visa and ignored orders to leave France. Three...
The consortium led by France's TotalEnergies has decided to end a suspension of work on a $20 billion liquefied natural gas project in Mozambique that began in 2021 after jihadist attacks. The company announced on Saturday that it would lift the force majeure status, though Mozambique's government must approve the move before operations resume. President Daniel Chapo received notification of the decision on Friday.
The Mozambique LNG project represents Africa's largest private energy infrastructure investment and could make the nation a major global LNG exporter. Jihadists attacked the project site near the Tanzanian border in March 2021, killing about 800 people and prompting the work stoppage. The United Nations reported 633 civilian...
Cameroon detained two opposition leaders on Friday, two days before authorities plan to release presidential election results. Security forces arrested Anicet Ekane and Djeukam Tchameni at their homes in Douala after challenger Issa Tchiroma Bakary claimed victory over 92-year-old President Paul Biya. The opposition figures support Tchiroma, who said he captured 54.8 percent of the votes against the longtime ruler's 31.3 percent in the October 12 contest.
Biya has governed since 1982 and won past elections with margins exceeding 70 percent. His party rejected the challenger's announcement as fraudulent while officials accused Tchiroma of provoking rebellion. Authorities banned gatherings and motorcycle taxi operations in multiple...
Federal authorities plan to send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia by the end of this month after a judge blocked his deportation to Uganda. Government lawyers told a Maryland court on Friday that the West African nation accepts the removal because its attorneys had not rejected it as a destination. The Trump administration claims the Salvadoran man belongs to MS-13 and helped smuggle migrants into America.
Abrego Garcia had been legally living in the United States since 2019 until officials mistakenly sent him to El Salvador in March. Authorities returned him months later but arrested him again in Tennessee for alleged human trafficking. His attorney said Costa Rica has agreed to accept his client as a refugee and accused officials of...
