Nominees of the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMAs) 2015 were announced last night. Ghana’s Sarkodie, Stonebwoy and Fuse ODG have all been nominated.
Talented Ghanaian rapper-Sarkodie was nominated in the Best Male category with UK based Ghanaian musician-Fuse ODG scoring a nomination in Best Pop & Alternative category. Stonebwoy was also nominated in the Best New Act category.
Check out the full list below of nominees below…
The millionaire dollar question and answer; Which Ghanaian female musician had a baby and lied that UK Boss-Kofi Amoabeng is the father of the child—and even bought her a new car after the baby? It’s Mzbel…
For about two years now, Mzbel has been throwing dust into our eyes—strongly claiming the father of her son, Aaron is the businessman-Kofi Amoabeng, owner of UT Bank.
Finally, the man has spoken and he says, to hell with Mzbel—he does not have any son with Mzbel, contrary to the ‘claims’ of the musician.
Throughout the whole Mzbel pregnant and child birth, many readers on GhanaCelebrities.Com maintained that Mzbel was promiscuous and she struggling to know who exactly the father of the baby is—but her many social media comments pointed us to UT’s boss.
And the fact that they’ve had an affair before sort of made him a reasonable candidate— while his money made him, a better candidate for Mzbel.

Multiple award-winning star actress-Jackie Appiah donated several items and an undisclosed amount of money to victims of the June 3 tragic flood/Goil fire disaster this afternoon in Accra.
The beautiful actress visited the 37 Military Hospital and later Nima, a suburb of Accra where she interacted with several flood victims. She donated several items including bags of rice, cartons of water, drinks, toiletries, other food items and an undisclosed amount of money to support the victims—as they go through this hard time.
After presenting the items to the authorities of the 37 Military Hospital, Jackie Appiah also visited the children’s ward where she interacted with the children on admission and presented several items to them and their parents.
Jackie indicated that she was at the hospital to commiserate with those who had lost loved ones and properties and to wish those on admission a speedy recovery.
” I am still shocked by events of last Wednesday. Seeing the destruction, loss of life and property saddens my heart,” the actress said.
Jackie said a prayer for all those who were affected directly or indirectly by the two national disasters of flood and Goil petrol station explosion—and also made a passionate appeal to well meaning institutions both in Ghana and across the world to offer any kind of assistance, both in cash and kind to the affected people to enable them rebuild their lives.

It’s just not an African thing—all around the world, it’s the woman that takes the surname of the man when they marry but Zoe Saldana’s husband-Marco Perego decided to break the long standing tradition.
This kick-started a whole different conversation with some saying it was no big deal and others say, that is a surrender to a long held tradition so it’s wrong that he did that.
But that was two different groups of people going against each other—Zoe Saldana herself has jumped in to defend what her husband did.
What else did we expect? Which woman wouldn’t defend a husband who decided to take on her surname? I will kill for that man…

A new research from Columbia University claims that the month you were born does have an impact on how likely you are to become ill—and it’s pretty interesting.
In order to find out the how the month of birth affects a person’s heath, the researchers created software to scour birth and medical records to look for links. After using the algorithm to examine New York City medical databases, they found 55 diseases that correlated with the season of birth.
“Overall, the Columbia University study indicated people born in May had the lowest disease risk, and those born in October the highest.
‘Lifetime disease risk is affected by birth month,’ the researchers wrote in in the Journal of American Medical Informatics Association.
‘Seasonally dependent early developmental mechanisms may play a role in increasing lifetime risk of disease. ‘
‘This data could help scientists uncover new disease risk factors,’ said author Nicholas Tatonetti.
The researchers now plan to replicate their study with data from several other locations in the U.S. and abroad to see how results vary with the change of seasons and environmental factors in those places,” writes MailOnline.
Though a small population was used, it’s interesting that there seems to be a correlation between the month of birth and a person’s health.
Excellence In Broadcasting (EIB) Network’s CEO-Nathaniel Anokye Adisi (Bola Ray) has led a team of officials from EIB Network, StarLife & Unibank to donate GHC55,000 to the victims of the recent Accra Flood and Goil Filling Station blast at Korle Bu and Ridge Hospitals.
Out of the GHC 55,000, the Ridge hospital received GHC25,000 on behalf of the victims with the reminder going to the Korle Bu hospital—all meant to be used to cater for the medical needs of victims.
During the donation exercise, Bola Ray who was moved to tears by the suffering and state of the victims called on the hospitals to ensure that the monies go direct towards the welfare and well-being of the victims.
Perhaps Kwaw Kese is getting close to his menopause—it makes the men confuse…
Yesterday, the rapper who was recently convicted for smoking weed in Ghana boldly took to instagram to call for the legalisation of weed—claiming that 80% of Ghanaians smoke weed so this should be done for them.
He added that, since 80% of Ghanaians smoke weed, legalising the substance will give those people who have made that choice the freedom to enjoy the substance which sits on Ghana’s statute book as illegal.
It was an interesting comment for two reasons; we don’t know where he got the 80% statistics from—and also, Kwaw had a different attitude towards weed when his ganja case was in court.
Anyway, Kwaw Kese has taken the post in which he called for the legalization of weed now—saying, he was misunderstood and his family in particular did not like that comment.
This man has no balls. If you indeed believe in a call; stick to it and stop throwing your family displeasure out there as the reason why you are backing off.

Generally, freedom of expression gives you a constitutional right to mock anyone—and it even stretches to the right to offend others in some countries but surely, this is not the case in Zambia.
A Zambian musician-Pilato (real name Chama Fumba) recently released a song about a man named Lungu who carries a suitcase filled with whiskey and has no idea how to govern—and this has gotten him arrested, because the officials say it defames the president, Edgar Lungu, by accusing him of drinking too much and being incompetent.
Things are indeed set to get worse inside FIFA as the bribery and corruption allegations are getting horrific.
According a BBC report, the FBI have investigated the former FIFA Vice President-Jack Warner after discovering that the Trinidadian personally received $750,000 (£500,000) in donations sent in after the horrific 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
Warner is alleged to have visited Haiti in the aftermath of the tragedy, and subsequently accepted $250,000 from FIFA and $500,000 from the Korean FA in the expectation that it would be passed on to victims.
Do you remember what hapepned when Kim Kardashian covered paper magazine—we mean when she broke the internet with her n*dity? Musician-Miley Cyrus has also covered the same magazine in a lil like Kim Kardashian way, she is nekkid—but she doesn’t give us a lot to look though. Maybe that will follow soon. Cyrus posted the … Read more
Every hardworking individual deserves some sort of break from his/her strenuous job once in a while to pave way for recreation. It is based on this philosophy that emanates the aphorism; “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
To unremittingly stay energetic, the power of relaxation ought not to be downplayed, and that’s exactly what Togolese soccer icon – Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor – is doing.
In spite of all the brouhaha gaining grounds in his family, the Tottenham Hotspurs striker has decided to put that behind him and organize a mammoth charity musical concert, assembling a plethora of musicians to perform.
The 2-day musical concert (June 13 – 14) which is put together by the Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor (SEA) Foundation is projected to draw over 5,000 music lovers to the Marcelo Beach and Stade de Kégué where the concert will take place.
South African Paralympian Oscar Pistorius will be released from prison on August 20 having served just 10 months for culpable homicide in the killing of his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp—a family member is reported to have thrown out this rumour.
Oscar Pistorius was convicted in October 2014 after a 7 month trial and he is serving a 5 year prison sentence but it looks like, he will be out on parole soon. But South African prosecutors who won their bid to challenge the culpable homicide conviction and see a murder conviction may soon go after him when he is released.
Oscar’s release from prison just after 10 months would likely spark anger among some South Africans, especially family members of Reeva Steenkamp.
According to reports, Ghanaian football star-Asamoah Gyan has purchased a 3 storey building situated at MCcarthy Hill in Accra, overlooking a river with a small swimming pool for a whooping $3 million.
When it comes to such reports, we are used to the price of whatever item having been multiplied by 10—that should explain why Asamoah Gyan would want to spend $3 million on this property as reported.
According to AllSportsGhana “the Al Ain star earns over $200,000 a week and can definitely afford to splash the cash on the house that is estimated to cost a whooping $3million.
The building,located at the exclusive McCarthy Hills enclave in Accra comes with two bars,a massive swimming pool that overlooks a water body and has a private access route.
