One of Ghana’s finest rappers Okyeame Kwame who doubles as the C.E.O. of one of the youngest label in Ghana, One Mic Entertainment has denied ever saying that Azonto has killed his music.
The Rap Doctor as he is warmly called expressed shock at news that he said “Azonto has killed my music”. The rapper was quoted as saying that the recent dance turned music genre ‘azonto’ has killed his ‘Faithful’ and ‘Sika’ tunes.
The report further stated that whiles other artistes smiled to the bank during the festive season, the rapper was left to mourn because of his inability to break the ‘azonto’ craze with his songs which are on slow pace. He was also quoted as saying that his song ‘Sika’, he released before Christmas was thrown into the bin by Ghanaians because of the proliferation of ‘azonto’.
Kwame has denied the above, saying it was totally imaginary of the writer and misrepresentation of what he said. According to him, this is the conversation he had with a presenter in December.
“In December a presenter called me and asked me series of questions in connection with MUSIGA and the festivities. He asked me how my album is doing and I told him One Mic [Entertainment] made a mistake of releasing ‘Sika’ one week before Christmas because people are in festive mood, people do not want to go and listen to pensive and melancholic songs like ‘Sika’, they want to party, so common sense suggests that they listen to ‘azonto’ so they can do the current dance.”

Part 1: Celebrities Talk To GC About Their Expectations For 2012!
2011 has come and gone. It was a good year for most people whiles others continue to bemoan about the fact that they hardly made the needed impact as they got few success.
GhanaCelebrities.Com spoke with various personalities in the movie, music, comedy and fashion industry. Below are what some of your favourite celebrities had to say about their expectation for 2012.
Ama K. Abebrese [Actress]:
Better quality and better story lines that can crossover to different markets. I think the bar has been raised with some good movies in 2011, so we have to keep upgrading
However, I feel there is a market for local movies of lower quality and that will continue because they have their audience.
Shirley Frimpong Manso [Writer, Director & Producer]:
My expectation is to see a more professional driven Movie Industry where actors will challenge themselves with meaningful roles and stronger performances and directors and writers inspired to write life changing stories for them.
John Dumelo [Actor]:
Closer to God, do very good movies, do more charity work and also make sure that J.Melo products are found in every shop around the world.
‘Essien Is A Loser’ Says Funny Face After A Peck From Nadia Buari At The Nite Of 1013 Laughs & Music!
Funny Face as a comedian has improved. His improvement has been a speedy one considering the fact that, it took him only two years to establish himself for mainstream success.
People who saw him when he started will attest to the fact that, indeed Funny Face has proved himself and is currently unmatched.
Anyone who has been part of the ‘Nite of Laughs & Music’ since its inception many years ago would concur with me that Nigerian comedians always rule the night. Most of the jokes they crack are jokes that we have heard over and over again but how they deliver it or go about it makes the difference. The delivery is of much importance to them.

Daddy Lumba [DL] For ‘Legends & Legacy Ball’ 2011!
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’.

Okyeame Kwame Shows Maturity As He Tackles The Quophi-Kwame Saga + How On Earth Can Someone Know That His Best Friend Impregnated His Wife In His House…
Naturally, when people are stressed up or angry, they are most likely to blame the people near them in order to get ease their resentment.
Many have been wondering why Okyeame Quophi in an attempt to react to certain publications fired up unnecessary missils. To some of us, it is very clear why he is still talking and every statement he makes is like a clue to unmask the real picture
Okyeame Quophi said “my decision not release records after ‘Quophilosophy’ was basically to allow my brother to have his shine since it looked like he was too hungry for it and anything from me would be destruction”. This is a blatant lie since he is already nursing an upcoming album and wants to use Okyeame Kwame to promote the album like Obrafour did with ‘Kaseibo’ which eventually won him an award at the Ghana Music Awards 2010.
If Quophi is not bitter, do you think he will make a statement like this? “… If I am not miscalculating, he even impregnated his wife in my house. During his acceptance speech at Ghana Music Awards, who did he thank for allowing him stay in his house? Was it not KOD?”
How can one determine whether a friend impregnated his wife in his house or not? Is this a case of come ‘come-watch-me-impregnate-her’?
Kwame has refused to exchange words with him even though Quophi is still throwing tantrums. Little investigation and team chit-chat from the camp of GhanaCelebrities.com came out that Quophi is more bitter because Kwame refused two music videos from Emklan. The latter paid the former to direct a music video for him and after, he realized the video is too ‘whack’ bad.
