Veteran Ghanaian rapper, Obrafour has advised artists who engage their colleagues in beefs not to extend it beyond the showbiz circles.
Obrafour who is believed to be one of the greatest Ghanaian rapper of all time said it’s unhealthy to diss people’s mothers just because you have a score to settle with a fellow musician.
Obrafour further said the motive behind the kind of beefs they did back in the days was to boost sales but not what has permeated the industry lately.
When George Quaye of Joy FM asked him his opinion about the current beefs in the industry, the rapper said:
“I don’t subscribe to it at all, talking about people’s mothers who have nothing to do with their music is a no-no. These are people who have nothing to do with the music, it is just sad “
“Reggie Rockstone in one of his songs says he was born with a microphone in his hands…the jab comes as no one is born with a microphone in their hands. it was just beautiful,”.
Obrafuor added that they never took their beef personal, they did it only for commercial purpose.
Ghanaian hip-hop rapper Samuel Adu Frimpong known in showbiz circles as Medikal is set to embark on a musical tour in Europe from 21st July to 15th August, 2019.
The artiste who is signed under AMG Beyond Kontrol Record Label will be supported by Ghanaian Afro-pop musician ‘Oppong Kofi’ known on stage as OB-Music.
The tour according to the organizers will see the two musicians roaming four countries which are Italy, Netherlands, Belgium and France.
Medikal with his experience of several performances on the international stage is expected to entertain a huge crowd as he headlines the tour.
The AMG business rapper has since mid 2018 been very active in the music market releasing numerous hits with some of his videos shot in the United Kingdom whilst simultaneously featuring other big artistes in the entertainment arena.
He made an appearance on the globally acclaimed Tim Westwood TV and had reputable international platform interactions.
The organizers are very optimistic of an ecstatic tour since Medikal’s partner for the programme, Oppong Kofi on the other hand has consistently been performing across the country for a long while and have mastered crowd control ethics.
HipHop rapper and mother of one, Cardi B has shared the secret to her success. According to her, she prays four times a day and anywhere she finds herself because prayer is her secret in life.
The rapper and mother of one shared on her Instagram page.
A few months back, Cardi B became the first solo female rapper to win the Grammy for Best Rap Album at the 61st ceremony.
Cardi B became the first solo woman ever to win the Best Rap Album Award while Childish Gambino was the first rapper to snag Record of the Year at the Grammys.
Cardi B beat the likes of Travis Scott, Mac Miller, Pusha T to win the best rap album, which is her first Grammy, for ‘Invasion of Privacy’.
The issue of many Ghanaian celebrities being tagged as ‘scammers’ has over some time now been a topic of great interest.
Many young hard-working artists who tend to make a blow and start to live a lavish life is either attributed to ‘scam’ or other dubious means of earning income as in the case of rapper AMG Medikal.
The above-mentioned budding rapper who won 2019 VGMAs Rapper Of The Year has washed off his hands on anything scamming as Ghanaians have been made to believe. Remember that AMG Medikal has been accused times without number of being a Sakawa boy or otherwise known as a fraudster.
Consequently, he has tried on many occasions to tell the world that his money is legit but this Sakawa question keeps coming. According to Medikal, he’s now tired of explaining himself that he’s not a Sakawa boy, and so people should say whatever they want to say, and that it’s all the blessings of God.
On Okay FM with Abeiku Santana, when asked again whether it’s true he made his money through Sakawa, he said,
“I’m tired of even answering this question. Yoo, I don’t care whether people say I do Sakawa or not, i’m happy, it’s God who’s blessed me, and I can’t do anything about it, it’s all the blessing of God that I have money.”
On whether it’s music that made him got all the money and has bought cars and bought houses, he said; “God has blessed me at an early age, i have started making money before i started music”.
Rapper Obibini has explained that he is not controversial because he wants his works to speak for him.
According to him in a recent interview with Amansan Krakye on Radio Central, the rapper said he won't ride on fake stories to get attention.
"My own is, everything I do I want to do it real. These days everyone is saying it's controversies that sell so they are doing stuffs to be popular but me I see it to be fake. If the story comes and it's real and true, fine but I won't force myself to cook a story that's not real just to get some name.
Because I believe that the name that I will get will not last but the quality of works I'm releasing will always speak for me. So I believe my works will speak for me and my works will work for me", he explained.
Obibini also revealed that though he is not controversial, his hard work got him VGMA nomination.
"So far Obibini is not controversial but he was nominated as one of the best rappers in the country and it's all because of the quality of works I put out there. So that also works for me, being real with myself and keeping the works coming in", he added.
The Inspector General of the Patupa Soldiers, Patapeezy has lamented on how some top artists neglect him when he calls them for a feature.
The rapper who is noted for doing 'stupid' and noisy songs in an interview with Abeiku Santana on Atuu indirectly revealed that celebrated rapper Sarkodie ignored him when he called him for a feature.
According to him, the artiste in question is selfish and looked down on him to even pick his call.
Patapaa is noted for doing senseless, useless and noisy songs so we are not surprised that Sarkodie and co refuse to pick his call for a collabo as it may tarnish his hard-earned brand.
Recall that Kuami Eugene stated that he can never feature Patapaa on his song because they are worlds apart in the music scene ie his style of music is way different than the Swedru-based JAMA leader.
Artiste manager and renowned producer, Mark Okraku Mantey says Shatta Wale’s relevance in the music sphere stemmed up after rapper Kwaw Kesse was arrested and jailed over marijuana possession some years ago.
According to him, the timing was apt and right for Shatta Wale who rode on Kwaw’s sentence to cement his fame in the music industry.
Speaking on Hitz FM, Mr Mantey said Kwaw’s absence created a vacuum and Shatta Wale had to fill it with his craft.
“Shatta became Shatta when Kwaw Kesse went to prison. Because there was vacuum and someone had to fil it. When Kwaw came back [from prison], he has never been the same. “As if he is not the same Kwaw. Kwaw used to have followers and nowadays I don’t even see them. When you’re on top, it looks like everyone likes you,” he said.
Controversial Ghanaian rapper, Kwaw Kese was tried for narcotic offences and sentenced to a day’s imprisonment for allegedly smoking cannabis in public with a fine of GHC 1,200 in 2015.
A Kumasi High Court gave the ruling after a number of adjournments, following the rapper’s arrest by police in Kumasi on November 22, 2014.
AMG Business rapper Medikal has asked his fans to pray so that history doesn't repeat itself.
If you could remember, rapper Medikal barley two years ago had 7 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) nominations, but sadly went home with 0 awards.
Consequently, he was trolled to the maximum on the various social media platforms for failing out to win a single award in the various categories he was nominated.
Now, two years down the lane, Medikal has been nominated again in the same VGMAs that snubbed him in the past and from all indications, he’s damn afraid of the dicey outcome as he he’s begging for prayers not to go home with 0 awards this time around.
He posted via Instagram;
“Vgma today, thanks for your votes, let’s pray 2 years ago’s history doesn’t repeat itself today".
Widner "Flow" Degruy once had a promising vocation in front of him as Lil Wayne added the young rapper to the Young Money Cash Money Billionaires program in 2012. In any case, the road life was hard for Degruy to desert, and before the Louisiana rapper's star had the option to shine, he was captured in 2015 on charges of murder.
Police say that 27-year-old Degruy and his partner Jonathan Evans shot two siblings, 22-year-old Kendrick and 18-year-old Kendred Bishop, as they sat inside a van. Specialists express that the discovered Degruy's telephone at the scene and observation film indicates him at the area, also. Kendrick Bishop and Degruy were both aspiring rappers and even recorded music together.
Investigators think the rationale in the shooting originated from Degruy's conviction that the siblings stole firearms and cash from him.
On April 8, NOLA.com reports that Degruy was discovered liable of two tallies of second-degree murder and intrigue to submit second-degree murder. The rapper recently conceded to hindrance of equity and connivance to block equity. It just took members of the jury one and a half hours to come back with their decision. The vote was 11 to 1. On Tuesday, Degruy was condemned to life in prison.

Rapper Kwesi Arthur says he is not enthusiastic about going into marriage at this stage of his career and age or any time soon.
According to him, it is too early, revealing he will take that decision after a decade from now.
Speaking on StarrFM on Monday, the 24-year-old musician explained that he is currently focusing on his music career.
“I want to turn 35 before I settle down with a woman, but for now I am focusing on my music,” Kwesi Arthur disclosed.
The rapper, born Emmanuel Kwesi Danso Arthur Jnr, is currently one of the best young musicians on the African continent.
In 2015, he released the lead single ‘Grind Day’ from his debut EP, ‘Live From Nkrumah Krom’ (2017).
The record was released under his independent outfit and supported by a social movement called GroundUp Chale. He later released the remix for ‘Grind Day’, featuring Sarkodie and Medikal. The song became a huge hit and he subsequently released the song, ‘Anthem’, which also became an instant hit. He has since kept rising.
Sometime this year, he was amorously linked with actress and TV presenter Efia Odo, who denied ever having any sexual relationship with the rapper.
Information reaching our 'kokonsa' desk indicates that the Queen of concert Party and girlfriend of 'SHS' rapper Medikal, Fella Makafui is heavily pregnant for him.
According to sources, Fella Makafui has gone into hiding due to her pregnancy because she wants to keep it away from the public.
We are not too surprised she is pregnant for the AMG rapper because 'gutter to gutter' love always lead to pregnancy.
This is not true, we are not reliably informed 'biaaa'. It was just a comment from a social media user who wanted to find out if the actress was pregnant due to her caption.
Self acclaimed richest artiste in Ghana, Shatta Wale has signed rapper Strongman after he left Sarkodie's Sarkcess Music.

He has therefore signed the Kumasi finest rapper to his Shatta Movement Records.
Reports has revealed that its 5 years contract worth $500,000.
