Wisa displays ‘manhood‘ on stage

 

VIDEO:Wisa displays ‘manhood‘ on stage

 Wisa ManhoodUpcoming musician Wisa known for his controversial hit song ‘Ekiki Me’ which featured Luther, got audience confused as he bared his manhood on stage at Decemba 2 Rememba 2015 show yesterday at the Accra International Conference Center.

Wisa who apparently appeared on stage with his pants down showing off his grey boxer shorts seemed prepared to let ‘everything hang loose’ to probably thrill fans.

Unfortunately, Wisa failed to impress as the irate crowd booed him off stage with his ‘generous exposure of his envy of all mankind’ heighten by a serious grinding with his female dancer on stage.

Excited Wisa who had actually pounced on his dancer from behind and enjoying the groove had to be dragged off stage by DJ Armani.

The Mcee after the bizarre experience apologized to audience for the botch performance and on behalf of Citi FM.

Fuming audience later took to twitter to express their utter disappointment on social media.

Below are some reactions: “So Sarkodie billed this guy to perform at his rapperholic concert and did a remix of ekikimi? Is this guy normal?”, a fan tweeted.

Jessica of Citi FM apologized with tweet, “Pls accept our sincere apology about the unfortunate incident with Wisa Greid. Citi FM does not condone indecent exposure D2R2015.

The Rap doctor Okyeame Kwame also posted “Wisa just started and ended his Career in one Night. Wisa Doesn’t always mean Wise".

But hey, Stonebwoy returned sanity back to the show as he thrilled audience with his very best and hit songs.

Many industry pundits recounting the turn of events at the show have expressed worry over the fact that Wisa via his gross blunder may jeopardized the future of his own music career.

Avoid violence, let love lead in 2016 elections - VVIP

 Vvip D2rGhanaian Hiplife group VVIP has advised Ghanaians especially the youth not to allow themselves to be influenced by politicians to instigate violence during the 2016 elections, but rather accommodate each other with peace and love.

VVIP made up of Reggie Rockstone, Joseph Nana Ofori (Prodigal), and Abdul Hamid Ibrahim (Zeal) gave this advice at the 2015 edition of Citi FM’s Decemba to Rememba at the Accra International Conference Centre on December 24, 2015.

The ‘Skolom’ and ‘Selfie’ hitmakers dished out one of their finest performances to the excited patrons that evening.

They said, “Ghana is our home, hence don’t be influenced by politicians to fight amongst yourselves. These politicians will fly their whole family out of the country should there be war outbreak. What will happen to you and I, if indeed war breaks out?, Prodigal questioned.

The group dropped the video for their song ‘Dogo Yaro’ in November which is trending across the country.

The night saw exciting and energetic performances from the ‘Mansa’ hitmaker Bisa Kdei, Okyeame Kwame, Kontihene, Eazzy, Gasmilla, Atom, Stonebwoy and many others.

Review: 1021 Laugh and Music

Becca Bisa Sing1 This year’s edition of Charter House annual comedy show, dubbed “A Night of 1021 Laughs and Music” came off at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC), yesterday 26th December, 2015.

The show which has been running for almost twenty years saw a packed crowd at this year’s edition, living up to its billing as one of the best shows on our entertainment calendar.

Hence it was not surprising when upon arrival at the AICC; a good number of cars were parked at the venue.

Though the show started about thirty-minutes late, 2015 MTN Hitmaker KIDi and Abena were the first to treat the expectant audience with some good performances, while Foster Romanus and Gordons, majestically handled the show with much dexterity as MCs.

Acts from Funny Bone, Osama, OB, Accapella and Khemikal took turns to serve the audience with their rib-breaking jokes. This created a sort of friendly competition between the Ghanaian Comedians and their Nigerian counterparts.

Becca and Bisa-Kdei got the audience into an atmosphere of traditional and latest Afrobeats, which saw most of the audience on their feet, dancing to songs form the duo. The two completely took control of the show displaying their maturity on the night.

Kudos to Charter House for another good show. We applaud them for putting together a good show, as well as providing enough security for the event.
The MTN staff, who sang a traditional Christmas song wearing an MTN yellow Santa Claus hat could do better in the future.

I won’t watch wisa’s performance again – Hon. Gomashie

 

I won’t watch wisa’s performance again – Hon. Gomashie

 Dzifa Abla Gomashie Ahiaglo NewwDeputy Minister of Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Honorable Dzifa Abla Gomashie-Ahiaglo has rebuked Ghanaian musician, Wisa, for showing his manhood at Citi FM’s Decemba 2 Rememba concert held at the Accra International Conference Center on Christmas Eve.

Mrs. Dzifa Abla Gomashie-Ahiaglo in an interview with Zionfelix.com expressed her disappointment in Wisa for his conduct on the night.

“That sexually explicit thing that happened on the stage should not have happened. What he did on stage was in a very bad taste and unfortunate looking at the respectable people who had gathered for the show.

He is not an artiste I have met before, and I have not seen him perform anywhere. That was my first time, but he left a very sad taste in my mouth. I’ve heard people make reference to his song, but he gave me a bad picture the first time I saw him.

I don’t know how he can create a better impression for me anymore. Aside the first event, I saw him perform, I’m not sure I will be interested in watching or will participate in his show,” she told Zionfelix.com

The deputy minister who was at the event on December 24 evening acknowledged Citi FM’s apology which they rendered at the show minutes after Wisa showed his ‘machine gun’.

“Organisers of the show, Citi FM apologised on stage and also he (Wisa) got the reaction that he didn’t expect. The audience made it clear that they were very upset about his act on the night and that should tell him something.”

On whether the ministry will take any action against him or not, she said, “If the ministry is going to say anything about it, it is going to be the minister but unfortunately, she was not there.”

She further cautioned musicians to hold in high esteem the Ghanaian culture anytime they are in public.

“I will take this opportunity to caution performers that they should be mindful of our cultural context within which they exhibit their act. We cannot copy everything without looking at where we are performing.”

Commenting on MUSIGA’s plan to discipline the artiste, Honorable Dzifa Abla Gomashie-Ahiaglo said, “if the musicians want to work against this kind of behaviour, I think we should allow them to do that. In fact, it is good that they are handling it on their own before it even gets to the ministry. I do not think the ministry should micro-manage the musicians, they have their own set of rules, and they must let the rules work within their own code of ethics."

Wizkid snubs KKD at Ovation Red Carol

 

Wizkid snubs KKD at Ovation Red Carol

 Wizkid Snobs KkdNigerian music superstar, Wizkid was usually rude to ace Ghanaian Master of Ceremonies, Kwasi Kyei Darkwa (KKD) at the Ovation Red Carol event at the Movenpick Hotel on Christmas Eve, when the young singer asked KKD to leave the stage for him to perform.

The incident happened quickly in the heat of the excitement when Wizkid got on stage to perform. After Wizkid had performed his first song, KKD appeared on stage seemingly with a message to deliver.

Wizkid called KKD ‘sir’ and asked what the MC was doing on stage in a sarcastic manner. Then KKD whispered something into Wizkid’s ears after which the singer exclaimed ‘..you are the MC’.

KKD then whispered something into the singer’s ears again before walking off stage. Wizkid then snubbishly said, ‘eh now go and let me perform’.

That was not the only rude behaviour of the music star on the night; he also blasted the DJ for playing a song when he (Wizkid) requested the DJ to stop the music. “What is wrong with this man?,” he asked (perhaps jokingly).

The Ovation Red Carol, which was also a celebration of UBA’s 10th Anniversary in Ghana saw exciting performances from the Winneba Youth Choir, AK Songstress, Kwabena Kwabena, Efya, Becca and Wizkid.

Highlights of the night included Ovation Magazine CEO/Publisher, Dele Momodu’s recount of how came to Ghana on ‘exile’ 20 years and how he gave birth to his famous glossy magazine, Ovation International.

Wisa to face MUSIGA disciplinary committee

 Wisa SorryThe Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has served a notice of an intention to institute a disciplinary proceeding against musician, Wisa for exposing his manhood during the 2015 Decemba2Rememba concert.

In a release signed by Edward Nana Poku Osei (Da Hammer), National Director of Hiplife and Hip Hop, the union expressed its utmost disappointment in the 'Ekiki Me' hitmaker describing his act as “terrible”.

The office, however, apologised to the public and organisers of the event for the unfortunate incident.

Below is an unedited statement:

From the office of The Director of Hiplife and Hip-hop at MUSIGA

This statement is being released to express the extreme disappointment in the artist Wisa, who disgraced this entire organization and the Ghanaian Music industry with his indecent exposure at the ‘December To Remember’ concert last night.

We would like to assure the general public in no uncertain terms that we clearly condemn the terrible actions of said artist, and will within a week institute disciplinary proceedings against him by the executive committee of MUSIGA.

We would also like to apologize on behalf of the entire organization for the oversight on our part.

Sincerely,

Da’ Hammer

But in what capacity is MUSIGA going to do this? Is Wisa a member of MUSIGA? Your guess is as good as mine…

Pappy Kojo and Joey B, Tee Phlow, Tinny, Killbeatz, Shatta Wale, Ofori

I'm a fan of Rawlings but not an NDC man - Ebo Whyte

 

I'm a fan of Rawlings but not an NDC man - Ebo Whyte

 Ebo Whyte UncleA celebrated playwright and a motivational speaker Mr. James Ebo Whyte, popularly known as Uncle Ebo Whyte has revealed that he is a fan of former president of Ghana Jerry John Rawlings.

“I am a fan of Rawlings but I am not an NDC man, I am not a partisan person and it is a strategic decision have taken not to get myself involved with nay political party,” he said.

Speaking to the host of Starr Chat Bola Ray on Wednesday, Uncle Ebo Whyte also made it clear that the fact that he has said that he is a fan of Rawlings doesn’t mean he is a National Democratic Congress (member).

Ebo Whyte together with his Roverman Productions team organized an exclusive show for ex-president John Agyekum Kuffour on his 77th birthday at the Banquet Hall, Accra and many are of the view that, this gesture is as a result of his political affiliation with the opposition party NPP.

Debunking that rumour, he said; “They don’t know what they are talking about. It is really unfortunate that in Ghana, people are quick to put political labels.”

Giving an insight to how he succeeded in getting Kuffour to adhere to that exclusive production, he said; “He came to watch one of my shows and came to me and my cast and congratulated us so I used that opportunity and told him about the idea and he jumped on it.”

The C.E.O of Roverman Productions also disclosed that he is ready to do that for all the presidents or leaders Ghana has ever had.

 Foster RomanusGhanaian stand-up comedian and stage drama actor, Foster Amponsah, popularly known as Foster Romanus, has hit back at his critics, arguing that his “comedy is not monotonous.”

Speaking in an interview with blagogee.com, the 1021 Laughs and Music comedian stressed: “My jokes are not monotonous; my comedy is related to everyday life and also what happens in our day-to-day activities we find ourselves in.”

He asserted that comedy in Ghana is here to stay and “we in the comedy industry must do more so that our comedy will reach its level.”

When asked his expectations of this year’s 1021 Laugh and Music, he asserted that it would be great.

This year’s 1021 Laugh and Music will also see Khemikal whom Foster believes would live up to expectation.

“Khemikal is a great comedian and will deliver as always. It’s not his first time.

“…he has been in the game for some time now and it’s just one of those performances of him,” he said.

MUSIGA presents Hyundai instead of Kantanka vehicle to No Tribe

 

MUSIGA presents Hyundai instead of Kantanka vehicle to No Tribe

 Obour Notribe HundaiNo Tribe has received their car prize as Gospel Artiste Of The Year at the 2015 Ghana Music Awards but it is not Kantanka automobile as promised by MUSIGA, Midland Savings and Loans and KOSA Automobiles, manufacturers of Kantanka cars.

The Musicians Union of Ghana led by Bice Osei Kufour aka Obour presented a brand new Hyundai car to the group at the second edition of United Praiz concert held at Charismatic Evangelistic Ministry, C.E.M, on December 24, 2015.

Celebritytvgh.com reported weeks ago that KOSA Automobiles had given the splash K71 Kantanka car estimated to be $20,000 to the group.

Nana Poku Ashis, Manager for the award-winning music group in an interview with Celebritytvgh.com then said, “the car will officially be presented to the group at this year’s United Praiz Concert slated for December 24 at Charismatic Evangelistic Ministries, C.E.M, North Legon in Accra.”

It came as a surprise to many who gathered at the short ceremony held after the United Praiz concert to present the Hyundai car to the group when the promised Kantanka car was missing at the venue. Question the crowd kept asking was “where is the Kantanka car?”

After the car was presented to the group, movie producer Socrate Safo took it on a test drive.

Check out photos of the brand new Hyundai given to No Tribe.

2015 has been a good year but… – Gasmilla

 Gasmilla HandsThe year 2015 has been the best for Azonto King, Gasmilla as his song, Telemo won the hearts of many Ghanaians.

With several endorsement deals and performances at almost all the big shows in Ghana, Gasmilla has described 2015 as a “wonderful” year.

“This year has been my greatest year since I came into the music scene in 2011. I believe this year has been wonderful. Apart from that, my fan base has grown so everything about this year has been wonderful,” he told Abrantepa.com

Adding, “Apart from these, I’ve been able to clean my community, I’m doing a give-away show for kids on 26 at Efua Sutherland pack… so it means God has done enough for me this year.”

Gasmilla stated that although he has been successful in his music career this year, he was unable to release his album as planned due to a number of projects he had outlined.

“Releasing my album [was what I could not achieve this year]. I couldn’t do that because there were too many projects: the Homowo Beach Clean-up, Gasmilla Father Christmas show and in between, I had to travel and all that. I set a lot of targets in 2015 including releasing my album but I couldn’t do that,” he noted.

I will avail myself to any disciplinary actions – Wisa

 

I will avail myself to any disciplinary actions – Wisa

 Wisa SorryBudding rapper, Wisa, who is well known for his smash hit single ‘Ekiki Me’ has rendered an unqualified apology for showing his genitals during a performance on stage.

The rapper did the unthinkable while performing at this year’s Decemba 2 Rememba by Accra-based Citi FM Thursday night. He decided to strip on stage and show his genitals.

Midway through his performance on stage, the musician while wriggling his waist behind a voluptuous lady drew down his white boxer shorts which was already showing in his saggy jeans and pulled out his manhood.

To the dismay of many, Wisa, who clearly did not see anything wrong with the act, continued humping behind the lady. The act by the musician has been condemned widely on social media.

Jessica Opare Saforo, Programmes Manager of Citi FM, in a tweet apologised for the unfortunate incident. She said: “Pls accept our sincere apology about the unfortunate incident with Wisa Greid. Citi FM does not condone indecent exposure”.

Edward Nana Poku Osei (Hammer), Director of Hiplife and Hip-hop at the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) in a statement expressed extreme disappointment in the act by the young musician.

According to Hammer, Wisa “disgraced this entire organization and the Ghanaian Music industry with his indecent exposure.”

The musician reacting to the huge public uproar generated by the incident said in statement that he has regretted his action and is ready to “avail myself to all planned disciplinary actions in the coming week.”

Read the full statement below:

Wisa Greid (Eugene Ashie)

BBK Entertainment (Management),

25 December 2015,

PRESS STATEMENT

I fully understand the outrage that will greet this statement. And I want to begin by saying I am really, truly sorry.

In the early hours of Friday, December 25, I performed at the December 2 Remember Concert, organized by Citi FM. It was really my first big career live stage performance and the crowd had been amazing in the way they received me. Then, I did something disappointing. I showed my genitals while performing.

I cannot explain this rash and irresponsible behaviour, but I have been trained to acknowledge my fault and be responsible for my actions. That is why I want to accept every bit of criticism that has come my way in the ensuing hours.

I have disappointed myself, my family, my hard-working management team, Citi FM and the audience, who paid hard-earned money to be entertained but instead went away feeling anything but entertained.

Most importantly, I disappointed my God. I am exceedingly sorry for what I have done. I acknowledge the statement issued earlier from the Office of Hiplife and Hiphop at the Musician Union of Ghana and will avail myself to all planned disciplinary actions in the coming week. There are no words to describe how I feel about what I did. I hope the public as a whole and all industry stakeholders will find a place in their hearts to forgive me.

Thank you ver much.

‘Ghana Rocks’ 2015 called off – George Quaye

 George QuayeCharter House has called off the annual Ghana Rocks Concert, spokesperson of the company, George Quaye has said.

The annual music concert brings together collective, renowned and famous artistes in Ghana and other African countries in the diaspora to perform on one big stage.

But speaking on Pluzz FM, he said the event isn’t coming off this year due to lack of sponsorship.

“We couldn’t find the kind of sponsorship we wanted for “Ghana Rocks” on the ground. All through the year we have been discussing repackaging Ghana Rocks.”

“Yes we would blame ourselves for not being awake enough, but the truth of the matter is that we were not able to find the kind of sponsorships we wanted to put out there a good show for everyone to appreciate.”

I traded music for education - Samini

 

I traded music for education - Samini

 Samini Mtn RevealsDancehall artiste Emmanuel Andrew Samini has disclosed he could not further his education due to his love for music and everything entertainment.

The artiste who turned 34 on Tuesday says although he does not regret his decision he won’t encourage anyone to do same.

“I didn’t come out as a bad student but I wasn’t staying in class and I wasn’t staying in class because I wanted to entertain and that is what I am doing today. So I don’t regret entertaining but I wouldn’t tell you don’t stay in class because I didn’t really stay in class but I didn’t ‘bomb’. So be careful if you want to stay out there and have fun, make sure you stay in class so you do not have problems with your teachers,” he told Joy News on Multi TV.

The dancehall and reggae artiste who started with artistes like Kokovelli, Tinny, K.K Fosu and others attributes his success after 11 years to dedication to the craft.

“I stick to my work and I make sure I go to work with all seriousness one hundred percent and obviously the result has to be a hundred percent, but more importantly, everybody is on a mission and not everybody is going to be on top for so long and so when you are on top you have to look at maintaining and staying there because that is where the people want you,” he says.

He said when he is approached to feature on a track, he treats it just like it was his own song.

“Once I am coming on it I do it like it is my song so then I represent myself so the result is always the best,” he said.

Samini believes the above is the reason many of his comrades yearn to have him feature on their songs.

He refuted claims he had outlived his peers. He argued that there many 34-year-old people out there who had done enormously well than he had.

He said another thing that keeps him going is the knowledge that he made his mother proud.

Multimedia surprised the dancehall artiste with a cake designed by Dream Desserts.

Reggie ‘N’ Bollie to release new single feat. Cheryl

 Reggie N Bollie Cherylhe X Factor runners-up Reggie ‘n’ Bollie have told Entertainment Daily that they are planning to release a single with Cheryl Fernandez-Versisni after she promised to do all she can to help make the Ghanaians chart stars.

As the excitement of the X Factor live shows calm down, Reggie ‘N’ Bollie have taken time to reflect on the rollercoaster ride that almost delivered them a stunning X Factor triumph. During an exclusive chat with Entertainment Daily, they praised the hands-on approach of their mentor Cheryl and that they hoped that their success would spur others on to try winning through on the show.

Reggie ‘N’ Bollie said: “The X Factor has helped us decide the direction we want to go in. We came to the auditions thinking we would continue with our reggae dancehall but the show has opened our eyes to new sounds.”

With this in mind, the boys revealed the influence that Cheryl had and how she will back them to be winners now that the show is over.

“Cheryl has told us that she will help in any way she can,” they revealed, “and she said that she will produce a song with us, which will be amazing.”

The pair hadn’t imagined where they would get to when they queued up for their first audition and they’re hoping they will inspire others to have a go.

“We really hope that our journey proves an inspiration to others to take a shot at the X Factor. Sometimes you just need to take that bold step and if it happens, it happens.

We never thought we would get to the live shows, let alone the final, but it proves that it can happen and we have loved every minute of it.”

There may be some time off over Christmas but it seems that 2016 could be the year that we are seduced by the charms of Reggie ‘N’ Bollie once again.

Kufuor climaxes 77th birthday with Ebo Whyte’s ‘Forbidden’

 

Kufuor climaxes 77th birthday with Ebo Whyte’s ‘Forbidden’

 Kuffour Ebo WhyteFormer President John Agyekum Kufuor turned 77 on December 8 and a busy schedule outside the country, even after leaving office as President, prevented him from celebrating the milestone fully.

Behind closed doors, the man popularly known as the Gentle Giant, may have marked the day in his own unique ways but none will surpass Tuesday night’s special play staged in his honour at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).

People who matter in the spheres of politics, business, religions, sports, music and even the diplomatic corps trooped to the venue in their numbers to give the former president a befitting birthday gift.

The birthday gift was a special play, ‘Forbidden’ by James Ebo Whyte of Roverman Productions.

The Conference Centre was almost filled to capacity with dignitaries that included Mrs Theresa Kufuor, former First Lady and wife of former President Kufuor; New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and his wife Rebecca Akufo-Addo; Dzifa Abla Gomashie, Deputy Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts; Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and his wife, Samira Bawumia.

Also in attendance were Kwadwo Mpiani, former Chief of Staff; Alan Kyerematen, Kwame Addo-Kufuor, Rev Father Andrew Campbell, Bishop Charles Agyinasare, Joyce Aryee, Paul Afoko, Gifty Afenyi-Dadzie, Dr. Joyce Aryee and a host of others.

The play, ‘Forbidden’ which captivated the attention of the not-too-easy-to-please patrons tells the story of the surprising transformation of the drug-addict son of a reverend minister.

The play is filled with life’s abundant lessons laced with a good dose of humour and the high-profile patrons including former president Kufuor loved it.

The dignitaries were simply not easy to please at first. The play started off on a slow note for them. For almost 20 minutes, the Conference Centre, apart from sounds of the craft from the stage, was dead silent.

Gradually, Ebo Whyte’s theatre prowess that Ghanaians have grown to love started kicking in. The big men now got the flow and they loosened up their diplomatic swag. Laughter now filled the Conference Centre. They were enjoying it.

After patrons had enjoyed the wonderful production, a surprise was in the offing for the man of the day, John Agyekum Kufuor, who Kwadwo Mpiani described as a real gentleman and many prophesied to become a president even in Senior Secondary School.

The former president, who beamed with broad smiles, was joined by his wife, Nana Akufo-Addo, Rebecca Akufo-Addo, Kwadwo Mpiani, Rev Father Andrew Campbell and others to cut a special birthday cake.

Former president Kufuor speaking in an interview with Joy Prime on MultiTV said, “Uncle Ebo I believe is a cast in the mould of Shakespeare of our times and I always aspire to be the patron of the arts so anytime I get the opportunity, I visit.”

“I attended his show and I was just overwhelmed by the way – the concept, the theme – was put together and the presentation, the actors. What surprised me was that they are all amateurs but I don’t think they are any far removed from professionals so tonight I think it excelled,” he added.

Joyce Blessing reveals the secret behind her energetic performance

 Joyce Blessing BlueGospel musician, Joyce Blessing is one artiste who has disabused the perception that gospel musicians are dull on stage.

Her performance during the first edition of the GN Bank Awards held at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) received positive remarks from entertainment pundits and patrons.

Known as Unbreakable, Joyce wowed the crowd again at the 2015 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards with yet another mind-blowing live band performance.

Speaking on Pluzz FM’s AM Pluzz show on Thursday, the Monko Mo Akyi singer said she is able to perform marvellously well because of her experience with a band coupled with backing notable artistes before the shot to the limelight.

“I’ve played for See Them band for five years. I’ve backed many artistes in the studio including Evangelist Diana Asamoah, Jewel Ackah, Mary Ghansah, Ernest Opoku Jnr, Aseibu Amanfi. Through this, God was preparing me for the task ahead. So when it comes to stage performance, I don’t intend to brag but by the grace of God, I sing to entertain, to move people so they forget their worries,” she said.

“I involve the audience so much that even if the duration of my performance is three hours, they won’t get tired…,” Joyce added.

She noted that if anyone does a list of top female performers in Ghana and she does not top the list, “people will even know it is fake.”

The spirited performer also mentioned that she is convinced Gospel music has undergone a commendable transformation. She was hopeful there will be a number of successes chalked by gospel musicians some time to come.

“I know God is moving Gospel to a higher height through me because some years back, people taught Gospel was all about shooting videos while standing close to flowers and all that. It got to a point people upon hearing of a gospel show conclude it will be boring; but it has changed,” Joyce Blessing said.

Adding: “A time is coming Joyce Blessing will win Artiste of the Year at the Ghana Music Awards. I’m working towards that.”

Appietus explains why he accepted a position from Obour

 

Appietus explains why he accepted a position from Obour

 AppietusbabaaaCelebrated sound engineer, Appiah Dankwah aka Appietus has been chastised by Nana Quame and Mark Okuraku Mantey for accepting a position from Obour whom he contested during the MUSIGA elections.

Nana Quame, a legendary contemporary highlife singer and Mark Okuraku Mantey the programmes coordinator at Hitz Fm said in their respective ways that, Appietus is a hypocrite and isn't a good leader.

Explaining to Dr. Who, host of hot and classic showbiz review on Hot 93.9 FM, in Accra, Appietus lamented that, he accepted the position because the good of MUSIGA is the most significant to him:

"You see some of these things you have to be matured before you can understand them. Contesting Obour doesn't mean we are fighting. There cannot be two political parties within one party. So if Obour has been chosen as the president, I have to help him so that the people who voted would know I really wanted to help the union" Appietus explained.

Appietus continuing his explanation lamented that, he is not the first aspirant to accept a position from his opponent, thus, Nana Quame and Mark Okuraku Mantey should rather congratulate him than to chastise him:

"Those, saying all sort of dubious things about me for accepting the position doesn't know what they're talking about; Look, during campaigns aspirants will never shower praises on his opponent... never can I say Obour is good during an election. Nana Quame and Okuraku Mantey should rather laud me for showing maturity. So is Hilary Clinton also a hypocrite because she accepted a position from Obama? Aww!!! So people wanted me to be fighting with Obour which shouldn't be so. We need to consider the interest of MUSIGA first", Appietus noted with much humane.

Appietus pleaded that he will start working as the 'Talent Discovery and Development Director' of the union from 2016 so people should stop chastising him and rather support him

Treat poets the same way you treat musicians – Nana Asaase

 Nana AsaaseRenowned poet, Nana Asaase has expressed utmost displeasure about how poets are unfairly treated by event organisers.

According to him, most event organisers take people in that sector of the arts are taken advantage of as they give them meagre amount of money or sometimes no gratification after performing at their events.

In a lengthy post on Facebook, Nana Asaase stated that poets should be paid accordingly because they are equally important as musicians.

“On no account should anyone disrespect another, especially, an artist, in this case. It irks me to observe how other young professionals tend to attempt and sometimes succeed in taking artists for granted. Never in the name of “Dumsor” would I countenance any such display of arrant disregard for our sacred art forms, one for poetry, in this specific case. Every worker deserves his wages, so does every artist and as a matter of specifice, every poet.

You might also have noticed how Poetry as an art form, is beginning to lend its various malleabitilies to various events and purposes in the country and beyond. From Weddings, through state banquets, to technology and agric events. It is refreshing to note that most event organisers in these spheres happen to be youthful…” portions of his post read.

Nana Asaase was unhappy that their craft is belittled by some event organisers to the extent to making it seem as though platforms given poets were in the interest of the poets.

“I have ever heard, ‘But is is “just” poetry’ on the other end of the call. Another one is, ‘It is just for five minutes’. That is the turning point in the action. If it is just poetry, just do it and just keep your money. Did I say money? Change. There is no calculator at the Ghana Stock Exchange that can quantify the components that go into “Just Poetry for Just five minutes”” he noted.

Adding that event organisers should, “Treat artists (poets) with that same careful detail you would treat the music names. Changing rooms, sound, communication, etc.”

Nana however commended all who are doing their best to keep the arts growing.
