Samini beseeches government to allow farmers to grow marijuana 'wee'.

Samini beseeches government to allow farmers to grow marijuana 'wee'.

MUSIC IChris Emmanuel   05:56:00

Veteran Ghanaian Dancehall artiste and High grade family CEO, Samini  has made a very interesting statement about the controversial plant, marijuana on Kwabena Anokye Adisi(Bola Ray)'s show Starr chat. Samini made a suggestion to the president of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, government and policy makers to allow farmers to grow the controversial plant, marijuana popular known as 'wee' in the country.
He claims that the money generated from the sale of marijuana will help boost Ghana’s economy and solve it's problems.

His reason for making such a suggestion is that some countries are making huge fortunes out of the plant which has been banned in the country.
The dancehall champ wonders why Ghana is allowing the plant to go waste when it could have reaped money from it as one of it's numerous benefits.

He said to Bola Ray: "I think that Ghana should be looking at decriminalizing marijuana, lemme drop a statement that if Ghana should decrimalise wee and then also give farmers license to grow wee since it does so well on Ghana soil, to even allow them grow for export, there are countries that have made fortunes out of marijuana export, its not just for smoking or recreational use, but I am talking about the other 33, 000 uses of marijuana plant, you can make jeans fabrics from it, paper from it, oil," .
The 'iskoki' hit maker also stated that due to it's numerous health benefits he's ready to take the bull by the horn and battle policy makers on the use of marijuana in the country.

Adding to what he said earlier: "If Ghana’s economy is struggling and there is a plant, that is not meant to be used on the streets of Ghana, let’s plant it and export it to the streets where they use it and collect money from them, because they have legalised it there and they use it so why not send it to them, you can say you have banned it for people not to smoke it in the streets, but a farmer who has acres of marijuana should be able to grow it, packages it and send to who buys it and make money for the economy,".

However, Samini was reluctant to mention precisely the date he stopped smoking ‘wee’ saying he doesn’t smoke cigarette.

He stated"I have smoked ‘wee’ before and I wouldn’t deny it, I can’t say I quit because I don’t remember the last time I said I don’t or haven’t smoked before, I wouldn’t say yes and I wouldn’t say no, because it would depend on my mood, I smoked wee this year in Seattle-USA because its legal there, its legal in Holland and a lot of other countries,".

Samini is one of Ghana's best Dancehall acts and a veteran for that matter. He made a debut with his smash hit track, 'Linda' many years ago and ever since then, he has been releasing hit back to back hits.

MUSIC IChris Emmanuel   04:29:00

Honestly speaking, I saw it for the first time on Davido's Instagram page. But those of you who follow him on Snapchat, must have heard it earlier. That's R&B legend, R. Kelly has done a cover 'his version' of Davido's super hit track, 'If'.

For now it's not clear as whether it was a remix or a cover. Because there's no explanation on how and why the remix happened from either sides.
But Davido whilst in the UK, was listening to the remix in his car and it was quite obvious he was surprised and dreamy.

Davido later posted a stitched version of his snaps on his Instagram page and could not hide his joy, he was highly elated. And later posted it on Facebook as well. He got lots of nice comments from fans who listened to the remix for the first time. Davido was very proud of himself, for he has stayed true to his culture.

Sarkodie is officially Ghana's richest musician(Most Bankable artist) and ranks 9th in Africa - Forbes Africa.

MUSIC IChris Emmanuel   04:25:00

Forbes Africa has released a list of Top ten richest African musicians, the continent's Most Bankable artists. And as expected Ghana's best rapper, Sarkodie is ninth on the list with an estimated net worth: $7 million.

When i first saw the list, the first question in my mind was 'where is P- Square?'. Anyway, don't mind me just being curious.
For what seems more official now, this is Forbes Africa's list of Africa's Top ten Musicians (Most Bankable Artists):

1. AKON With over 35 million albums sold worldwide, numerous awards, five Grammy Award nominations, 45 Billboard Hot 100 songs under his belt and over 51 million likes on his Facebook page, Akon.

2. BLACK COFFEE , SOUTH AFRICA Black Coffee, real name Nkosinathi Maphumulo, has not only raised the bar for South African house music, but has put it on the world map. The multi-award-winning artist was born in South Africa’s house music province, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), raised in the Eastern Cape province, where struggle stalwart Nelson Mandela hailed from, before moving back to KZN to study music. It was worth it.

3. HUGH MASEKELA , SOUTH AFRICA Born in Witbank, east of Johannesburg, Hugh Masekela is committed to restoring African heritage. This world-renowned flugelhornist, trumpeter, bandleader, composer and singer has released more than 43 albums and performed with Marvin Gaye, Dizzy Gillespie, The Byrds, Fela Kuti, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder and Miriam Makeba. “The music I make, I don’t call it my music. It is based on my township and indigenous rural roots in South Africa. That’s what brought me fame all over the world,” he says.

4. DON JAZZY , NIGERIA Like many artists, Don Jazzy, real name Michael Collins Ajereh, started playing music as a child in church before moving to the UK to pursue his career.

5. TINASHE , ZIMBABWE-AMERICAN Twenty-four-year-old Tinashe Kachingwe sang before she could talk. Her Zimbabwean father Michael, and mother Aimie, from Denmark, have always helped. Tinashe was a child model by the age of three, made her first appearance in 2000 in the film Cora Unashamed and her voice starred in the cartoon feature film The Polar Express alongside Oscar winning actor, Tom Hanks.

6. JIDENNA , NIGERIAN-AMERICAN By the age of 10, Jidenna Theodore Mobisson knew he wanted to do music but was afraid to tell his father who wanted him to be an engineer. It was just as well that his name means embracing the father.

7. WIZKID , NIGERIA Wizkid is arguably currently the uncrowned king of African music. Grammy Award-winning artist, Alicia Keys and husband Swizz Beatz, danced to his songs Ojuelegba and Caro, with Keys posting a video on her Instagram account with the caption, “This song makes me happy” and Kylie Jenner posted a video of herself dancing to Wizkid’s music on snapchat.

8. DAVIDO, NIGERIA Davido has claimed a high status in just five years. The single Back When planted him firmly in the music business in 2011. “It was people like [Nigerian music veterans] P-Square and D’Banj who made me believe that all this was possible,” he recalls. Dami Duro, an unexpected hit, leaked online almost a year prior to its official release, became the crown jewel for his widely acclaimed 2012 debut album, Omo Baba Olowo.
9. SARKODIE, GHANA Born Michael Owusu Addo, Sarkodie has racked up millions of views on YouTube for his music with his debut album and first single, Baby, among the favorites. He started out as an underground rapper which helped him cross paths with his former manager, Duncan Williams, who helped launch his career. Staying true to his identity, he is a big advocate of Azonto, a Ghanaian genre that is said to have been born out of Kpanlogo, a traditional dance.
Mewu , the first single off his fourth album, Mary, sold almost 4,000 copies on the first day of its release in Ghana’s capital Accra. His hard work does not go unnoticed. Sarkodie was the first Ghanaian to win a BET award and has the most nominations.
In 2015, he was ranked the 19th “Most Influential Ghanaian” by e-TV Ghana and in 2013 and 2015, he was ranked 8th on FORBES and Channel O’s list, “Top 10 Richest/Bankable African Artists.”
His ambitions don’t end here. In 2013, he launched his clothing line Sark by Yas, launched Obidi Chief Headphones which endorses, among others, Samsung and telecommunications company, Tigo.
In 2014, he also launched the music label SarkCess to empower other African artists. 2017 promises to be an even more exciting year for Sarkodie.

10. OLIVER MTUKUDZI, ZIMBABWE Oliver (Tuku) Mtukudzi has 65 albums under his belt — more than Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. It’s a remarkable career stretching back 41 years with songs that have enlivened parties all over the world. “I never decided to be in the music industry. It was in me. My mother said ‘you are a good singer but you will never surpass your birth cry. Your birth cry was so beautiful’,” says Mtukudzi.
And that ends the list!!!

Awal Mohammed accuses Tv3 of sabotage, being audacious?

Awal Mohammed accuses Tv3 of sabotage, being audacious?

MUSIC IChris Emmanuel   07:33:00

Awal

A product of Tv3's reality TV show Talented Kidz, Awal Mohammed has dared to accuse the station for what he calls a sabotage.
He made this public after his performance at the grand finale, of the eighth season of the Talented kidz.

Tv3 had challenges with the live broadcast of the grand finale, saying it was due some technical hitches.
For this reason the live transmission was going on and off air many times, so anytime it goes off they'll broadcast one of the prerecorded performances by the contestants and return as soon as it's back.

It happens that, when Awal Mohammed a previous winner of the show was about performing, the transmission went off. So his entire performance was off air. When he found out after performing that his performance wasn't on air, he didn't take it lightly. He was very disappointed, because he thought it was intentionally taken off air by Tv3 to sabotage him.

He took to social media, Facebook to vent out his anger and demanded that tv3 should give 'upcoming artists' like him some respect. Riding on the fact that he made them proud.

See for yourself below, what he wrote on Facebook:

MUSIC IChris Emmanuel   07:01:00

Ghana based Nigerian singer, Mr. Eazi found himself in a helpless situation at the Pryme

lounge event center in Dallas, Texes.
The event was sold out and Mr.Eazi as usual didn't disappoint in his performance.
He got the fans really excited with his performance, at a point the female fans were dying for more.

I guess Mr.Eazi was also amazed by  the fans reaction, so he went very close to the crowd. Then the unexpected happened, the fans started touching him they went as far as grabbing and handling his manhood. The security had to pull him away from the crowd when the situation was getting violent.

The event was hosted by one of the hottest African comedians, Aphrican Ape. Also introducing Royale Rouge, a new artist who debuted her single “Magic” featuring Mr. Eazi.

A little investigation into the matter proves that, it was caused by the over excited female fans. I guess they were trying to have a feel of their superstar's manhood. Lol

Watch the video of Mr Eazi’s weird experience below:

OK Stripped, a concert organised by Ghana's rap doctor, Okyeame kwame was held at the plush +233 Bar & Grill in Accra. The musical concert saw great from performances from some of Ghana's most energetic show rockers like, Wiyaala.

Making a bold statememt on the night was Richie Mensa's Lynx Entertainment's Acts, MzVee, Kidi and Kuami Eugene the 2017 VGMA Unsung category winner.
As well as performances from spoken word acts Rhyme Sonny, Eugene Speaks, and Jibsam.

Starting off with Kidi, his song 'say you love me' has won the hearts of most music lovers since it's release some months back. The audience at the event enthusiastically sang along as Kidi performed the song.
If you ask me, that says a lot about how big the song is becoming.
MzVee too has gave an incredible performance, performing some of her most widely accepted hit songs.

Kuami Eugene also proved himself worthy of the VGMA award by giving out such an amazing performance, he performed his smash hit track 'Bibiaa Beye Yie'. He is certainly an artist you should watch out for, because I think he just about to blow up like boooom, Lol.

High-life veteran and rapper, Kwame Nsiah- Appau known in showbiz as Okyeame Kwame's OK Stripped is geared toward raising funds for Okyeame Kwame longstanding Hepatitis B initiative.

One of Ghana's most sensational singers, Wiyaala totally thrilled patrons at Okyeame Kwame’s ongoing OK Stripped concert.
The multi talented singer is also known for songs like Tuma, Kandibanye (Had I known), Sun and Moon,Rock My Body and Leno just to mention a few.

During her performance the Afro singer started off by doing a raunchy lab dance for Okyeame Kwame on the edge of the stage. Which I think was kind of, mind blowing. She then continued by giving patrons exciting life band rendition of some of her hit songs, most of them to be precise.
Then the big one, a cover of Rihanna's  smash hit song 'Diamonds'. Trust me it was such an energetic performance.

Meanwhile the headliner, Okyeame Kwame is set to release his new album 'Made In Ghana'  in the coming months.
OK Stripped concert also saw performances from Okyeame Kwame himself, MzVee, Rhyme Sonny, Akwaboah, Adina, Kuami Eugene, Root Eye, broadcaster KOD among others.

An OK Music brainchild, the gig is sponsored by Urbano Hotel, TXT Ghana, and 4SYTE TV, and will also see guest performances from highlife star Kwabena Kwabena, new kid Abochi, Adina, FlowKing Stone among others.
Another very exciting thing about the concert is that, it features most of Ghana's best performers.
Thanks.

Joe Mettle

After the VGMA night critics have given their opinions on what went on at the awards night, talk of the red carpet, the main event and the host, the stage,the performances,the award winners on the night an so on.        
The red carpet this year was very interesting, because some of the female celebs went too far in their quest to look their best on the night. The hilarious thing is what people were saying about it on social media, some were comparing some their dresses to that the 'power rangers '   and other things. The red carpet was host by Berla MUNDI alongside Elikem de Tailor.

Now, the main event was hosted by Ghana's queen of TV, Anita Erskine and DJ BLACK. The event saw great performances from Sarkodie ,EL ,Becca ,Runtowm , Nacee and Gospel all stars, Kofi Kinaata, Adina, Akwaboah, and so on, the legendary Charles Amoah also performed on the night.
 People are routing for Charles Amoah and Nacee and the Gospel all stars as the best performers on the night but i give it to Sarkodie and Adina & Akwaboah.

History was made on the night as Joe Mettle won the artist of the year, and that was first in history for a gospel artist to win the overall artist of the year. Some critics he didn't even deserve to be in the category let alone winning the award ,making this claims on the basis that his song 'Onwanwani' to them was not a hit track and blah blah blah. But my take on this issue is that Joe Mettle really deserves it, because he has worked hard for it over the years and this is his time of wonders.

One of Africa's most successful musicians, Sarkodie pulled a huge surprise on Tema based Afrobeats duo, R2Bees. It's very amazing to know that, the huge love between Tema artists dominates no matter where they find themselves.
Though this is not the first time that Sarkodie pulled such a surprise, it took R2Bees and the many fans who thronged The Indigo at the O2 for the Afrobeats Music Fesitival by surprise. The event which was headlined by R2Bees took place on Saturday 30th July,2016.

R2Bees performed alongside UK based Ghanaian group The Composerz, fans were wowed when Sarkodie joined the group to perform a number of songs on the night. Meanwhile, Sarkodie has been in the UK shooting music videos and working on other music related projects, for some time now.
The 'hand to mouth' hitmaker,Sarkodie exceptionally performed on the night and left the rest of the show as expected for the headliners R2Bees.

Sarkodie did the same thing during Shatta Wale’s album launch in Ghana as he pulled a huge surprise on him as he joined him to perform some of his hit songs including M3gye Wo Girl.

Mzbel describes supreme court judgement as 'using a claw hammer to kill 3 harmless ants'.

Mzbel describes supreme court judgement as 'using a claw hammer to kill 3 harmless ants'.

MUSIC IChris Emmanuel   10:11:00

Outspoken Ghanaian female musician,Mzbel has publicly given her take on the recent supreme court case in which the accused were jailed for four months.
The three Montie  FM panelists were sentenced for threatening the lives of Supreme Court justices, in a radio discussion.

It seems the supreme court judgement did not down well with Mzbel, because she believes the verdict was too harsh, saying that the judges overreacted for sentencing the three – describing the decision as ‘using a hammer to kill three harmless ants'. Her statement isn't much of a surprise because she(Mzbel) is known for giving her take on topical issues such as this one.

You you can read the unedited version of her post below or better still click on the link beneath it:
A young man who could drive 150km/h without bursting a tire, loaded his gun, youngman walked to the castle to get information about the President's movement on Sundays.He got all the needed information then moved straight to the church where the President worships to finish him.
He was arrested with the loaded gun on him.The general outcry even from ardent critics of the President was the excuse that the young man was mentally sick was unacceptable that he must be jailed immediately.The President for days didn't say a work till lion approached him to get his position.
I was rendered stupid after his response.His absolute trust in God was perfectly exhibited before m e,his forgiving heart landed on my feet and confidence in the very system he presides over matured displayed.
He said emphatically that his existence on this surface earth depends on Go d, after all the young man was his brother-in-law then chuckled so if he want orphans in his ho me,he should execute his mission.He said that humorously because of the BA connection.

Days after he stated his position ope n l y, forgiving the guy and went on further to advise the operatives to ensure he receives the needed medical attention if necessary.Unknown to the public the President privately visited this youngman who wanted to finish him to see how he was responding to treatment.Many facts came up later but matured as the President and wife a r e,they managed that with dexterity.
The President was described as an armed robber by a presenter the NMC only enjoyed stories from the young man without stating his gross misconduct emphatically. We heard Gabby describe our noble judges as a bunch of timid persons.We have three arms of Government with the executive per our arrangement, being the head so why the mischievous ebbs and flow.
I don't want to touch seriously on the issue for, now, but I can tell this judges clearly here that the punishment inflicted on the young men and the owners of the media house will rather cause serious injury to the judiciary especially the apex court, it will heighten tension and will rather harden miscreants who may have calmed down because of the general atmosphere.The situation at the time the three judges cannot in any way be compared to this vastly improved system with our human right record surging up.We now have a well constituted political structure with effective institutions operating without suppress ion,the authority of the Supreme Court remains intact so why taking our minds back psychologically.
I have serious issues with what our friends said but haven't we used a strong hammer to kill three harmless ants?
And to my friends in the media who are using vague legal technicalities to support the decision , please be carefu l,be very careful.I hold my bible to my chest reading from Psalm 35 and beloved you will one day cry blood over same treatment meted out to these guys.
Attempts to gag journalists from opposition stable is crystal clear,they using insults,intimidation,machinations and conditioning to cow most you into submission. Never misinterpret the calmness the NDC is exhibiting,the system itself will soon react to these painful development engulfing the political space.

BET award winning afro-dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy has reacted to claims that he was sacked from stage by Nigerian rock star, Wizkid at the One Africa Music Fest,New York, last Friday.
He expressed great displeasure on the latest media report which went viral on social media, describing it as a craze by the media.
And instead of the Ghanaian media supporting their own especially the hardworking ones to reach higher heights, they rather devote their time doing what will bring them down.

It was published in the media that Stonebwoy was sacked from stage to pave way for Wizkid to perform.
Swiftly, Stonebwoy came out to debunk the media publication.
The CEO and founder of Bhim nation spoke on Entertainment Review on Hitz FM and he described the publication as unfounded.
Explaining that, Wizkid is a friend of theirs and there is no way he could sack him as was claimed in the story.

He bitterly described some Ghanaians as being fond of writing defaming stories about fellow relentlessly working Ghanaians.
He also stated that the malicious story came as a surprise to him, because he was the one who posted the said video on social media.
In the same interview he said “Nigerians always support their own but we spend time destroying each other,”.

The 'Bhim Nation' hitmaker Stonebwoy who is currently in USA says he will be coming home soon to celebrate the one year anniversary of his mother’s demise and afterwards embark on a three city tour in Australia before he returns for a big music concert in Tamale at the end of August.
Meanwhile, Stonebwoy said he would not let such bad publications to hurt him but rather he will concentrate on the good works he is doing because he's determined to go higher.

The dancehall queen who went on a music hiatus, Kaakie after releasing her comeback song 'sankwass' which got social buzzing has made some clarifications.
'We de chew weed' a phrase in the song which was one of the causes of the brouhaha, she explained that it is a  metaphor. She also described her colleagues as the 'Sankwasses' in the music industry, MzVee being the first name mentioned.

In an on-phone interview on Gh One tv's RhythmzLive, Kaakie made some clarifications: ''when I was on the music break, some people tried to take my place and some were also saying that I have ran away''
When asked to state some of those beneficiaries of her break,she mentioned MzVee, AK Songstress amongst others.
"MzVee was the acting dancehall queen when I wasn't around, but MzVee is not even a dancehall artist" adding to her earlier claims.

The host of Rhythmz Live, Berla Mundi asked her why she's saying MzVee is not a dancehall musician " when you are sing 'patoa' on a high-life beat doesn't make you a dancehall act, MzVee don't even sing in 'patoa' what she does is pidgin" giving an explanation.
That all the gist for now but what do you think about Kaakie' claims, do you think she's trying to step on MzVee to comeback into the music industry? Well, I leave it to you to do the judgment.

MUSIC IChris Emmanuel   02:24:00

After releasing groundbreaking diss track Kanta, finest Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie teams up with VRMG front-man Edem in his new track entitled More Money More Problems(MMMP).
The New release is song that borrows it’s title from Christopher Wallace’s 1997 single with the same name which is also an hip-hop tune. It tackles subjects that are not either rapper: the curse of poverty, and the impediments that accompany wealth. The rapidly growing pile of songs since Sarkodie's public lyrical feud with rapper M.anifest has a new addition and that's this song.

Sarkodie born Michael Owusu Addo was very recently in the news for his song Bossy (feat. Jayso), which was widely fingered to be a dig at rappers EL and M.anifest, and then Kanta, a supposed retaliation to M.anifest’s controversial god MC. But we are yet to prove whether it's another diss track directed at M.anifest or its just Sarkodie doing his thing.

Funny Face makes shocking revelations concerning his broken marriage.

MUSIC IChris Emmanuel   07:53:00

In an emotive interview with Gena West on Metro TV, popular Ghanaian comedian and actor  Funny Face made some startling revelations in a bid to address issues concerning his divorce to Elizabeth Nana Adjoa Ntim, which took place seven months ago according to him.
The Chorkor trotro tv series fame gave the strongest hint yet at explanation the reasons why he left his now ex-wife Elizabeth Nana Adjoa Ntim.
It was widely speculated that the divorce was as a result of infidelity on Elizabeth’s part, when the news of his failed marriage surfaced.

Highly disappointed Funny Face stated: “When someone gives their love, trust, loyalty and you accept to be committed but later throw all their sacrifices to the dogs and cheat on them, you are no different from a witch or a wizard…It takes a huge amount of sorcery and witchcraft to cheat, cheating on your partner is equal to murder.”

Not too long ago news started making rounds concerning Funny Face filing for divorce . He later confirmed it when he took to Instagram to confirm the news, stating that “it just didn’t work”.
Benson Ohene Oduro Boateng(Funny Face ), tied the knot with Elizabeth Nana Adjoa Ntim in a private event back in November 2014, and their union lasted for less than two years. It seems they couldn't keep their vows as a married couple.
