MUSIGA has not banned Joey B's 'Tonga'

News circulating has it that, Joey B’s popular song, ‘Tonga’ has been banned by the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA). According to the report, “Nana Kwame, the host of OC Showbiz Review on Skyy Power FM, Takoradi confirmed to the reporter that, the ‘Tonga’ song has been banned by MUSIGA. This was also confirmed to the Master Planner by the Composer himself, Joey B.”

OMG!Ghana.com can confirm that Joey B’s ‘Tonga’ song has not been banned by the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) as it was reported. Reacting to the story on Monday’s edition of the mid-morning show, ‘Brunch2Lunch’ on Radio Univers, Joey B’s manager, Gee told Bra Chef, host of the show that MUSIGA has not banned the song.

He added that the false information circulating is a game plan by some media men to send a message to Charter House, organizers of Ghana Music Awards not to nominate the song for this year’s awards ceremony. He continued that the song ‘Tonga’ is not profane and they have submitted it to Ghana Music Awards organisers.

A check by OMG!Ghana.com on MUSIGA’s twitter handle also proved that the song which features BET award-winner Sarkodie has not been banned.

A DISGRUNTLED JOSELYN DUMAS VENTED HER DISPLEASURE WITH MOVENPICK HOTEL ON TWITTER ON FRIDAY AND MY SOURCES HAVE REVEALED TO ME WHY!! Although Joselyn accidentally mentioned Movenpick Hotel in her tweets, her frustration was rather as a result of being turned away from eating at the restaurant on the 6th floor of Kempinski Gold Coast City hotel in Accra. She and friends, including radio and TV personality Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD) decided to go to the restaurant for a quick grub but the security denied them entry to the elevator saying that they should show their ID cards or membership card before entering. Although the security said he knew who Joselyn and KOD were, he still insisted on seeing a form of identification before he would let them in. They were told to go and register at the reception first if before they would be allowed in. For a brand known around the world for hosting and pampering celebrities, it was quite a shame that two of Ghana’s most known faces were turne...
