Sarkodie’s singing has Shatta Wale pushing for a full album
Sarkodie says Shatta Wale is pressuring him to start singing more on tracks. The iconic rapper mentioned this during a radio conversation, recalling how he sent Wale a clip of himself trying some vocals. The dancehall artist apparently gave him positive feedback, telling Sarkodie he has the skill for it and needs to lean into that sound as a new career phase. Sarkodie admitted he has actually written plenty of songs with melodic parts already. He just does not feel totally natural doing it, and confessing the whole thing makes him a little uneasy. His comfort zone and his real energy have always come from straight rapping, not holding notes.
Stonebwoy tells Tinny to apologize to BHIM Nation, not him
Stonebwoy wants rapper Tinny to take back what he said and say sorry to the BHIM Nation fans. The dancehall artist talked about it on a popular show, staying calm but firm. He called Tinny a legend he respects, making his issue more about his supporters than himself. He basically said he cannot let anyone disrespect his fanbase, pointing out their fierce loyalty and the duty he has to shield them. To keep things from getting worse, Stonebwoy's own team even scrubbed a BhimFest promo poster that had Tinny on it. He framed that as a peacekeeping move, not an attack, just to avoid upsetting his people. While he still admires the veteran rapper, Stonebwoy made it clear that respect has to go both ways in this business. His final ask was...
Captan defends Shatta Wale like it’s personal, because it is
Captan explained his fierce loyalty to Shatta Wale in a radio interview, saying the dancehall star massively helped his own career and life. The artist described getting important opportunities and support from Wale, which fueled his personal growth in the business. This created a real sense of gratitude for Captan, not some mindless fanboy behavior. He said seeing people trash-talk Shatta Wale actually hurts him, given everything the guy has done for others. Captan, who was formerly in the SM Militant group, stressed that Wale constructed his whole operation from nothing. Anyone signing up to work with him needs to recognize they are entering his existing system, not there to overhaul it. His blunt advice was to follow the rules...
Sallyman says Gyakie’s shine outshines McBrown’s resume
Sallyman just threw a grenade into the Ghanaian celebrity debate, claiming singer Gyakie completely outranks actress Nana Ama McBrown. The media figure made this argument during an interview, saying Gyakie's overall effect, corporate brand power, and worldwide presence make her the real superstar. He pointed to their brand deal timelines as proof. McBrown only started landing those major ambassadorships around five years back, despite working for many decades. Gyakie, however, got signed as an ambassador way earlier in her career, showing companies wanted her from the jump. For Sallyman, those deals are the real measure of current clout and market value, putting Gyakie on top. The host backed his take with Gyakie's music stats, noting...
Papa Shee says God’s wrath is coming, sinners, brace yourselves
Evangelist Papa Shee is back with another fiery prediction, telling everyone divine punishment is basically on the way. He said on a radio program that this coming wrath will force people to publicly admit all their secret sins and messed-up actions. The preacher focused on moral failings and how folks are pushing back against what he calls God's plan. He used his own life as an example, saying resistance against people like him brings serious trouble. Papa Shee complained about dropping standards everywhere, even inside churches, where things like breaking up marriages get a pass these days. He insists that wedding vows are a serious, holy pact, not something to just toss aside when things get hard. His whole argument is that divine...
Ghana’s hidden gems need love, not just Elmina selfies
Nana Frimpong Ziega says Ghana is sleeping on a goldmine with its tourist spots. The media personality and tourism guy laid out the situation on a television program, noting the sector pulled in 4.8 million dollars recently. He called that number a decent start but said it could be way bigger with some actual effort and cash behind it. He pointed out the obvious problem, that the country has tons of cool places, but only like three of them get any real traffic or promotion. Most citizens have no clue about these local treasures, choosing to spend their cash on trips abroad instead. This leaves a bunch of potential destinations completely empty and wasting away. His fix is pretty straightforward: give more sites some love and a...
Kwaisey Pee marks 25 years by backing 25 kids with cancer
Kwaisey Pee is using his 25 year music anniversary to help kids with cancer. The veteran highlife artist said on a talk show that he is focusing on 25 children fighting the disease, a decision driven by his father's death from cancer. He felt cancer care gets ignored in Ghana and refused to back any other cause for his milestone. He explained that his personal loss showed him the need for more focus on the illness. His goal is to share hope with these young patients, offering both emotional support and physical resources. Pee wants to start a real discussion in the country, promoting early checks and rallying people to fund better treatment options. For him, this charity work is the only fitting way to celebrate a quarter century in...

The whole bit instantly became the most memorable part of the entire night, drowning out everything else with laughter and noise. The guy...
