Now, we know that the singer didn’t mention any names but who else is more conversant with the Ghanaian-Nigerian fusion thing than “Mad over you” crooner, Runtown himself?

Tyrese Tells The Rock He Can’t “Fly Solo” From #FastFamily Sheesh what are we gonna do with  Tyrese?  For someone sooooooo successful, he’s always doing questionable isht. Take for example this weekend when The Rock talked about getting a deal done, and he just had to come and comment some left field ish for the whole world to see. Here’s what The Rock posted Now how the heck you gonna tell another man what he can or cannot do? And if it’s a spinoff, wouldn’t that be another opportunity for the rest of the cast to make cameos?

The Nigerian music industry is a truly wide and constantly expanding one. We have seen talents come and go, sounds have changed, and our music is one of the few things that keep us united as a people. Music keeps you going, and Nigerian music is a reason to be happy. When it comes to our musicians, we can only be thankful. We have had our hearts melted with the voices of beautiful talents; we have danced our feet to weakness, to the beat of trendy songs, and through all these things, celebrities have been born. While every musician has his or her own focus, and has attained his or her own level of success, some have just pushed it to the limits. One of such people is the veteran artiste, Tuface Idibia, who we now call 2Baba. Some of his songs have gone down in history as evergreen songs and somehow, above all odds, he still continues to grow and thrive in the very wide industry.  While we can all agree that he now has a few tough contenders for the throne of Nigeria’s musi...

The premises of Atinka Media Village almost turned into a boxing arena on Friday after renowned Prophet, Kumchacha, of the Heaven’s Gate Ministries threatened to beat up Reggae star, Ekow Micah. The swift intervention of staff of the popular media house prevented what could have been Ghana’s version of the Mayweather – McGregor bout. The near- physical confrontation followed a heated argument on Atinka FM’s “Edwuma oo” mid-morning show hosted by Roman Fada. The two gentlemen were guests on the show. The heated confrontation was sparked by claims by the “Aba” hit maker that there was nothing wrong with smoking marijuana and that Biblical accounts suggest that the Almighty God once smoked the banned substance. The celebrity prophet however disputed the claim and accused the reggae star of blasphemy. “Ekow Micah is a mad man; he needs a psychological treatment at the mental hospital,” the man of God fumed. “If he does not take care, God will kill him. He’s a dead man walking!” Kumacha...
