Nigerian singer Seyi Shay left her church after fighting with leaders about music choices. Church officials wanted members to sing traditional hymns instead of modern gospel songs during services. The leadership demanded scripture-based worship rather than contemporary Christian music. Seyi Shay disagreed with this decision and stopped attending completely. She believes many traditional hymns carry harmful historical connections that worshippers should avoid.
The artist pointed out that slave owners wrote numerous hymns still used today across churches worldwide. These same songs were forced upon enslaved African people during centuries of brutal treatment. Seyi Shay questions how anyone could feel blessed singing music connected to...
A London court allowed Chris Brown to post bail after charging him with serious assault. Police accused Brown of attacking music producer Abraham Diaw with a tequila bottle during a 2023 nightclub fight.

Daniel Kwame Ofosu-Appiah filed a complaint against former Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame with the General Legal Council. He claims Dame broke professional rules during a criminal case involving Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson. Court records show Dame contacted Richard Jakpa privately about the ongoing trial.

Legal expert Stephen Kwaku Asare disagrees with Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo about court hearings. Torkonoo wants her removal case heard where people can watch. She filed papers at the Supreme Court asking for 16 different things. Her lawyers want to stop her suspension and halt the investigation committee. They also want two judges removed from the case.

Asare posted on social media that the law does not give her this option. He pointed out that...
