Lynx Entertainment CEO, Richie Mensah has blamed the split of artistes and their managers on lack understanding.
The manager of Kuami Eugene and KiDi was speaking exclusively on Radio Central with Amansan Krakye.
"I think one of the problem between artistes and managers is understanding. Sometimes all they need is a mediator, somebody to sit them down and talk to them and try and resolve the issues that they are having", he said.
Reacting to eShun and manager split, he said it's a sad situation because he respected the relationship between the two.
"I'm now being told that Stephen and eShun are no more working. That's very sad news because they were working together very very well, I really respected the relationship they had but all these things I think sometimes if someone can involve and talk to both parties it can resolve bad blood and those stuffs", he added.

NCCE Should Make Stonebwoy And Shatta Wale Sanitation Ambassadors
A Ghanaian Pathologist, professor Agyeman Badu Akosa, has suggested to the National Commission on Civic Education (NCCE) to appoint dancehall artistes Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale as sanitation ambassadors.
According to the former Director-General of the Ghana Health Service (GHS) the dancehall artistes can use their influence to educate the youth on the importance of good sanitation.
He asserted that, the massive followership of both artistes can be leveraged by the NCCE to fight filth.
Prof Akosa, who was speaking to pupils of the Nima Cluster of Schools, as part of the citizenship week celebration of the NCCE, said: “So, if you can imagine Shatta, Stonebwoy, two of them, and they are telling children of this country that: ‘Hey, if we can begin to package all the litter that we all produce, then this country will have a very clean environment. There’ll be no flies, there’ll be no germs, there’ll be no disease, the air will be clean and all of us will grow to become very responsible citizens’, so says Shatta Wale and so says Stonebwoy.
“So, Shatta Wale of the Shatta Movement and Stonebwoy of the Bhim Nation, they will be speaking to all you young people of this country, will that not be a good thing? I think the only person who can do that is Madam Josephine Nkrumah”.

Shatta Wale Has Finally Congratulated Stonebwoy With A Hot Kiss
To prove that he has truly smoked the peace pipe with arch-rival Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale gave his one-time hottest ‘enemy’ a kiss on the cheek to signify a complete burying of the hatchet.
At a press conference organised by the Kofi Abban Foundation in Accra Tuesday afternoon, Shatta Wale caught Stonebwoy off-guard when by kissing him on the cheek.
On the substance of the press conference, Stonebwoy reiterated his apology to fans of both camps for the scuffle that happened at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards where he pulled a gun after Shatta Wale attempted to mount the stage uninvited.
Shatta Wale, on his part, pleaded with the media to push the brand of artistes and stop publishing that end up tarnishing the images of such brands.
‘Shatta Movement’ and ‘BHIM Natives’ as the fans of the two artistes are called, were urged to brace themselves up for a peace concert to put an end to the bitter rivalry which appears to be nearing its end.
The artistes also had leading members of their management teams, Black Cedi and Bulldog gracing the press conference.
Meanwhile, both musicians are expected to re-appear in court on June 20, 2019, following the brawl the happened at the VGMA which led to their arrest and bail.

Musicians Who Cannot Perform Live Are Fraudsters - Samini Reveals
Reggae and Dancehall artiste, Samini has tagged musicians who cannot perform live as fraudsters.
Speaking on Showbiz A-Z on Joy FM, Saturday, the artiste said the stage is the chance for an artiste to connect and present his craft to the audience in a special way.
“So, if performing and you have your recorded voice playing and your microphone acting like you are performing, it’s either you are a fraud or doing karaoke,” Samini told MzGee host of the show.
He explained that songs put out by artistes are already known to audiences hence time should be taken to give refreshing and different side of it during performance.
Samini stated he tries to give audiences a better version of his songs and supersede his former performances while entertaining his fans on stage.
“You are not a complete musician if you cannot perform your music live,” he stated.
He said the audience should demand their money paid back to them if an artiste does not perform live.
Samini urged other artistes who cannot do a live performance to learn.

Award-winning Ghanaian hip-hop artiste Kwesi Arthur has a signature appearance of always performing bare-chested on stage.

Kwesi Arthur disclosed this in an interview on 3FM’s Sunrise morning show, where he explained the idea behind going shirtless whenever he performs.
“It is the vibe; like the energy around it is just crazy. So whenever I am performing, I just take off my shirt, and the reaction is crazy.”
Asked why a lot of the youth in ghettos identify with his music, the ‘Grind day’ crooner said young people are able to identify with the kind of content he churns out through his music.
“I feel like music is our escape, like in this country so many things are going on. Music is the only thing that keeps the youth entertained.
“Because if you think about what is going on, you will be angry and do something you might regret. So the music keeps us entertained,” he noted.
Kwesi Arthur is out with his latest album titled ‘Live From Nkrumah Krom-Home Run’, and it is on iTunes, Spotify and other music platforms.
It features the likes of Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Nasty C and other artistes.
