Veteran musician Abrantie Amakye Dede has threatened to ‘slap’ the President of Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), Bice Osei Kuffour over what he claims to be unlawful auctioning of a compilation of his musical works during the MUSIGA Presidential Grand Ball which was held at the Banquet Hall, State House–Accra.
Amakye Dede who seems to have lost his cool over copyright infringement said:
The President of Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), Bice Osei Kuffour has indicated that he has never regretted occupying the highest office of MUSIGA.
Obour, in an interview with rainbowradioonline during the press soiree said:
Honourable Kennedy Agyepong, the member of Parliament for Assin Central constituency, has debunked media reports that he promised five Ghanaian veteran musicians Ghc 5,000 each every month for the rest of their lives.
According to the NPP firebrand, he promised Ghc 5,000 to be given to the musicians to share but the media somehow twisted it to mean he said he was giving out that amount to each of them.
The Musician’s Union of Ghana has released what they deem the top 20 most played songs in Ghana in the just ended year of 2017.
The list was outdoored by President Bice Osei Kuffour (Obour) at a presser held in Accra today, January 12th.
Born Emmanuel Botwey and popularly known as Kwaw Kese has unleashed his anger on the top executives of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA).
Kwaw Kese is of the view that, the leadership of MUSIGA have abandoned Ghanaian musicians from its major programs including the Presidential Grand Ball which was held recently at the Banquette Hall in Accra.
Undoubtedly Papa Yankson is the definition of highlife music in Ghana, you will always repeat his song once it ends. Personally, my favourite among his songs is “Tena Menkyen” translated in the English language as “Stay with me”.
Now the highlife legend’s Flute, Trumpet and a framed photograph were auctioned for Ghc100,000 on Friday at the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) Presidential Ball.
Despite all the criticisms and judgements being rained down on her head, Dancehall songstress Ebony says she’s not going to change and Ghanaians better get used to her.
The singer is always dominating headlines for her raunchy style of dressing which the moralists claim is the wrong thing for her to do.
At a point when almost everyone has heavily descended on the female dancehall artiste for her provocative style of dressing and performance, outspoken sports journalist known in real life as Patrick Osei Agyemang aka Countryman Songo has taken the bold step to defend the young artiste.
Countryman Songo is the host of Adom TV’s most watched sports show and he is best known for raining ‘fire’ on corrupt officials at the Ghana Football Association–GFA. But this time he has jumped onto the defence of Ebony and warned all critics of the artiste to let her be otherwise he will open fire on them.
CEO of Bullhaus Entertainment and Zylofon Media employee, Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, has called on dancehall songstress Ebony to apologize to the President of MUSIGA.
Ebony hit back at Obour hard a day or two ago after Obour criticized her style of dressing.
Ebony Reigns has angrily clapped back at MUSIGA President Obour following some criticisms he lobbed at her.
Obour said in a recent interview that Ebony’s style of dressing is ‘bad’ and not part of Ghanaian culture, and the singer has hit back at him with charges of corruption.
The host of the ‘Delay Show’, Deloris Frimpong Manso, said the issue which gave her the second biggest shock of 2017 was hearing that MUSIGA spent Ghc 2m to ‘research’ into the music industry.
Her biggest shock was hearing that her grandma had passed, but after that Obour took the cake.
President of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), Bice Osei Kuffour, more commonly known as Obour, has denied reports he’s a greedy chap chopping all the money at MUSIGA.
According to the hiplife artiste, those allegations stem from his enemies who want to bring him down, which he says happens to every person in a leadership position in Ghana.
It has really surprised us that the suggestion by Obour a week or two ago that MUSIGA used Ghc 2m allocated to them by government for ‘research’ has not caused more of an uproar in the music community.
No matter how you look at it, its ridiculous, and KOD has rightly pointed it out.
OMG – that must have been some research!
MUSIGA President Bice Osei Kuffour, professionally known as Obour, has revealed where a government allocation of Ghc 2m made to MUSIGA for the development of music went to.
MUSIGA President Bice Osei Kuffour has constantly been under fire for his MUSIGA reign, accused of running the organisation into the ground whilst chopping all the money it makes to feed his gargantuan tummy.
However, Obour has constantly denied that the organisation makes so much money for him to chop as people claim.
