Rapper and Hiplife act, Emmanuel Botway, popularly known as Kwaw Kese, says he does not feel celebrated enough.
According to him, it is a norm for Ghanaians not to celebrate their own.
He made this revelation in a yet to be aired episode of E With Becks show on Joy prime.
He told hostess, Becky, that “I don’t feel celebrated. It’s the norm in Ghana. Ghanaians don’t celebrate Ghanaians doing well, they don’t celebrate their stars, and they don’t celebrate their celebrities.”
He added that he will not be deterred for not being celebrated by his people but would rather celebrate himself.
E With Becks show airs on Joy Prime on Sundays at 5 pm.
Dancehall singer Stonebwoy has lamented on how some Ghanaians find interest in fake stories.
Stonebwoy represented Ghana in Kenya over the weekend as he performed alongside big artistes like Morgan Heritage, Diamond Platnumz at the Tomorrow Leaders Festival 2019.
Reports being published by most online portals had it that Stonebwoy had a flopped show and that he was even kicked out of the hotel room by the organizers.
Stonebwoy didn’t take the reports lightly as he felt very disappointed in the reportage; he further mentioned that since the law of the country works, he will resort to it.
Could this mean that Stonebwoy and his team are going to serve a lawsuit to all websites which published the ‘fake’ news of his flopped show and he being kicked out of his hotel room?
The CEO of 3Music Awards, Sadiq Abdulai Abu has revealed that his outfit spent a whopping ₵800,00 (8Billion old cedis) to host the third edition of the annual awards show which was fraught with controversies after Shatta Wale emerged the overall winner with 11-awards.
He revealed that even though the amount sounds unbelievable, the processes leading up to the awards makes it an undeniable truth. Sadiq told Zionfelix that before the awards came off, they had to put together a research team who worked for over two months with the aim of gathering the needed data to do the categorization for the various awards.
The entertainment critic added that the board who deliberates on most of the issues are top people in the industry who ordinarily cannot be paid but they usually show them some gratitude by offering something small for their fuel prices anytime they came for board meetings.
Sadiq also stated that awards plaques which they bring in from China also cost at least $220 dollars per one and always they order for not less than forty copies.
The maiden edition of the show even faced some financial challenge after it emerged that Joselyn Dumas was not paid for hosting the show, coupled with other financial hiccup that nearly derailed the plan to host subsequent ones.
The second edition of the 3Music Awards went down on March 30 at the Fantasy Dome in Accra.
Organizers of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) , Charterhouse, say they are angry and shocked at what happened last Saturday at the 20th edition of the event.
Dancehall artistes, Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy clashed at the event disrupting the show for several minutes. The brawl occurred after Shatta Wale and his entourage tried going up the stage when Stonebwoy was being presented with his award for Reggae/Dancehall Artiste of the Year.
Speaking at a press conference at the Alisa Hotel on Thursday, May 23, CEO of Charterhouse, Theresa Ayoade, said the unfortunate event was a surprise to their outfit and they were very angry at it.
“We should be smiling today for celebrating our hard work for 20 years only for this to happen,” she said.
According to her, Charterhouse was not happy at what happened last Saturday and wished it had never occurred.
“I asked myself the following day why I am still doing this. We could have used our resources into other things. But we went ahead to do this and look at what happened.
"My team worked tirelessly to make sure this event was a success and see what happened. But we thank God because it could have been chaos had anything happened.
"These two artistes didn’t think of the bigger picture but only themselves, that was bad on their part and I know they will live to regret,” she added.
Theresa Ayoade thanked Samini for lifting up the show again when things went bad and everyone who helped calmed the situation.
She advised that we focus on other relevant issues such as the celebration of the 20th anniversary than the two artistes.
