Mark Okraku Mantey continues to serve up truth bombs – this time, he’s saying prominent dancehall stars we have aren’t really doing dancehall.
Speaking on Starr Fm Wednesday, Mark said big names like Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy aren’t really doing ‘dancehall’ despite they classifying themselves as such.
Veteran Music Producer Mark Okraku Mantey in the public’s eye seems to be a monster in Sarkodie’s career dreams, following their banter back and forth across media platforms with Mark’s undiluted criticisms to the self-named Tema Tupac.
After their recent clash on Sarkodie’s right to reproduce Kokooko by Dasebre Gyamenah, Mark threatened to sue Sarkodie which we later saw the duo together to have allegedly smoke the peace pipe.

Former Black Stars coach Avram Grant has revealed that one of the things he’ll miss most about Ghana is ‘Ghana Jollof’.
The national team manager, who resigned weeks to the end of his contract, appeared on Starr Chat with Bola Ray Wednesday and elaborated on the things he would miss most about the country.
The EIB Network is carrying out a ballsy assault on the Ghanaian media landscape. It seems to be working, especially with their flagship Starr Fm.
A recent survey by Ipsos, a credible multi-national researcher, ranks Starr Fm as the most listened to English radio station in the capital. That’s a huge achievement for a station that’s barely one year old- and especially when considering the behemoths in the English demographic such as Joy and Citi Fm.
In the wake of this survey, people have made the argument that Starr Fm is successful only because of their star power. They made a point of grabbing some of the best talent around- and they were lucky enough to have Ghana’s Drive Time king on board as a CEO.
So whilst the point has to be conceded that Starr has a lot of firepower, that alone does not make a successful station. As a sports guy I’m always ready with the sports examples, and you can ask Real Madrid’s first iteration of Galacticos in 2002 to see what all that star power won them.
During those heady days, they gathered some of the best talent in the world of football. At a point they could call on Ronaldo (the original one, not his self-absorbed, latter day namesake), Raul, Zidane, David Beckham, Luis Figo, and Roberto Carlos. From the time they all gathered in 2002, to their disbandment in 2007, Real Madrid won nothing, zilch, nada.
This was because there wasn’t much teamwork between them. What people often overlook is that stacking the star names often brings about a conflagration of egos, that can be as destructive just as well as it can be productive. You cannot succeed just by that alone.
With the right mix of charm, clout and grace, Naa Ashorkor is making amazing accomplishments on radio given the relatively short amount of time she has been on the air.
The incisive bubbly host of The Zone on Starr 103.5FM was more known for her roles in Ghanaian movies and TV shows before joining the EIB-owned Starr FM in August 2014, but has now become the goddess of the radio airwaves.
Making the adjustment from TV to radio was “quiet unsettling”, she admitted but Naa found her feet quicker than one would expect, and she said she is enjoying every bit of the attention she is getting, as well as the impact she is making on radio. “I have been on radio for several times but only as a guest. Radio is different from TV.
With TV you direct and present at the same time but radio is magical: you sit at one place and speak and the whole world is listening to you and I get messages from all around the world, Amsterdam, China etc.,” she said with a spark of excitement in her eyes.
