It’s been a long while since we heard from Kofi Nti. The highlife sensation is now back with a new jam titled ‘Attention’. The Nero Steger-produced song features Afriyie Wutah and Kofi Kinaata. Listen to ‘Attention’ below… ‘Attention’ is more like a grower. Need some radio plays for me to enjoy it more.
After the release of Ofori Amponsah’s ‘Alewa’ track, runner up of TV3 Mentor 1, Andy, came out to state that Ofori’s song belonged to him. The person who masterminded this thievery, according to Andy, was Highlife singer – Kofi Nti – of Rakia fame.
Conversely, Kofi Nti has denied ever giving out Andy’s lyrics to Ofori Amponsah. Responding to the allegation on Atinka FM, Kofi Nti said Andy sent the song to his (Kofi Nti) manager to listen because he (Andy) wanted to feature him (Kofi Nti) on the song.

Ghanaian writer and director Kobi Rana has defended why he overlooked Ghanaian actors for Nollywood legendary actor Ramsey Nouah Jnr. when casting for his latest blockbuster ‘Hotel Babylon; Where Clothes Are Naked’.
The movie with obviously many supporting characters or probably no supporting characters had the Nollywood actor as the lead. His performance in the movie was a top notch and may confirm why he was picked ahead of the many Ghanaian Actors.
After the screening, the young African movie maker was subjected to series of questions by journalists. One question which nearly caused a rift between the movie maker and some journalists was the issue concerning the casting of the leading character in the movie.
From the young African Writer & Director “KOBI RANA (Cornelius Phanthomas)” comes the most anticipated movie ‘HOTEL BABYLON: where clothes are naked’. It stars Nollywood actor Ramsey Nouah Jnr. and Roselyn Ngissah, Eddie Watsons, Nana Ama McBrown, James Gardner, Kafui as well as upcoming stars.
It premieres on Saturday March 17 at the National Theatre. There would be two showings; 6pm and 9pm. Ticket goes for GHC 30 and GHC 50 and available at Joy FM, Adom FM, Accra Mall (Foto Store and Silverbird), Busy Internet and Legon Drama Studio.

Being the first recipient of the award instituted to honour living legends, Daddy Lumba will join the audience as other musicians such as Rana, Castro, K.K. Fosu, Praye, Mzbel, Kofi B, Kofi Nti and others perform his own songs. It will be amazing how the man himself will relate to this new initiative.
In accepting and confirming to perform on the night, he told journalists that, he has accepted to be part o
f this event because, the fact that he has decided to be out of the public domain, unscrupulous individuals has taken it upon themselves to say all sorts of bad things about him.
In the western world, legends are honoured, appreciated and celebrated all the time. They are awarded in their various fields of endeavour when they are alive and active. Even when they finally give up the ghost, they still get acknowledgements and recognition.
Celebrating legends posthumously has become the order of the day in our part of the world. Legends die many years before they are celebrated or anything done in their names.
Imajin Advertising, an event promotion and management outfit based inAccrabelieves it is prudent if legends are honoured and appreciated while they are alive and can relish in the accolades, praise and other benefits that come from being recognized as a legend.
The company feels it is wrong to wait till a legend dies before praises and accolades are showered on them, when the same can be done whiles they are alive. Owing to the above, an event ‘Legends & Legacy Ball’, to honour living legends has been instituted.
The ‘Legends & Legacy Ball’ is an annual event to honour music legends. As time goes on, the company hopes to extend the event to Kumasi to cater for the Northern sector of the country.
The maiden edition of the ‘LAL Ball’ focuses on legendary high life musician born and christened Charles Kojo Fosu but known by many as Daddy Lumba and recently responds to ‘DL’.
