Broadcaster and host of Starr FM’s ‘Starr Drive’, Kofi Okyere Darko popularly known as KOD has been confirmed by Charterhouse as the host for the 20th edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards slated for Saturday, May 18, 2019, at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
KOD Fashion icon, radio personality and Chief Executive Officer of Nineteen57byKod fashion line, Kofi Okyere Darko, aka KOD has named some of his best and worst events he has ever attended. KOD in an interview with burgeoning event journal, Eventguide — that covers major events in Ghana and the entire world, named his best and worst events in Ghana.
Kofi Okyere Darko, popularly known as KOD, has opened up on the troubling period of a few years ago when his friend KKD was accused of rape, describing it as the lowest point of his life.
KOD spoke to Nii Kpakpo Thompson about that time and narrated several never before revealed pieces of info about that extraordinary saga.
These two men for many years have been celebrated in Ghana as showbiz personalities—and undeserving respect has been accorded them. From what we now know about their antics the night Ms Ewuraffe Orleans-Thompson was allegedly raped, I can boldly say these two are not gentlemen at all—and should not be given any sort of public respect again.
How can two grown up men (one married) pick up random young girls at an event and try to do something with these girls who did not only refuse their drinks but also were not interested in any sexual act; be it a kiss or a bang bang.
We will surely hear some interesting details of what happened the night Ewuraefe Orleans Thompson, 19, was allegedly rapped by Kwesi Kyei Darkwah (KKD) at African Regent Hotel in Accra.
Since the case started, we’ve constantly mentioned that there were other two people in the hotel suit (KKD’s cousin and Ewuraefe Orleans Thompson’s cousin)—while the alleged rape was going on in the bathroom.
And although we’ve always known from day one that the said KKD’s cousin was showbiz personality-Kofi Okyere Darko (popularly known as KOD), we don’t think we’ve openly mentioned it yet.
But ahead of the High Court trial of KKD which will start on 18th March, 2015, it has been revealed that the said cousin of KKD (that is KOD) on that night even ‘cleaned’ the alleged victim’s tears when she emerged from the bathroom.
KOD has come out with a message, stating that everything is fine with his marriage and there is nothing for anyone to panic about. He posted the above photo of himself and his wife with the message; “To those who know us and called because you care, thanks for the love but my house is not on fire. Dearest Cross is still the same old warm person and there’s no breakup. We are a happy family”
That is great—-and we wish the two a long marriage but this is a perfect opportunity to chip in this, so that KOD will be on alert.
If KOD does not know by now, there are some indecent photos circulating around (I say circulating because the fact that I have them means, somebody else may have them too, I do not want to claim exclusivity) ALLEGED to be him.
I am sure the wife will not be happy if the indecent images alleged to be her husband hit her desk. The person who sent the images to GhanaCelebrities.Com few weeks ago claims, KOD sent them over to her friend he has been chatting to in the USA—and certain screenshots of conversations ALLEGED to be their chat were also attached.
Recently, media personality-KOD’s name came up somewhere under a circumstance and to be frank, I was pretty shocked—but today’s report somewhat tells me the circumstance and what was said could be damn true. According to BEATWAVES, Kofi Okyere Darko popularly known as KOD is ending his 6 years marriage to Ophelia Crossland. Apart from BEATWAVES’ … Read more
Popular Hip life songstress, Eazzy has described as false, a claim by Lynx Entertainment that she was handed over to a new management team following a mutual agreement. Lynx Entertainment on Wednesday 25th April, 2012, announced in a press release that it had parted ways with the songstress by handing her over to ace broadcaster cum designer Kofi Okyere Darko also known as KOD. The release which quoted General Manager of Lynx Ghana, parent company of Lynx Entertainment, said among other things that Eazzy’s transfer was part of a grand scheme of things that “an artist grows to the point where he or she can successfully make the key decisions which affect his or her career on a regular basis. What made this take longer than we expected was finding a suitable candidate to take over Eazzy’s management. KOD takes over now and lynx will take a back seat and assume a more advisory role.” However, Eazzy has categorically denied ever reaching any mutual agreement with Lynx Entertainment for her to be transferred stating that her contract with Lynx Entertainment was annulled on the 8th of April 2012 upon her request. The annulment brought to an end a three year business relationship with the record label.
