Shatta Wale promises 20-minute live band session as birthday gift for Prez. Akufo-Addo

The Shatta Movement boss has paid a courtesy call to the president of the country on his 74th birthday and wants to treat him with a live band show

Ghana’s dancehall king Shatta Wale has wished president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo a happy birthday on Thursday and has given him an official invitation to his newly acquired house.

H.E Akufo-Addo, who was born in 1944 turned 74 years old and Shatta Wale wants to treat him and several diplomats to a live band at his $550,000 Ship House which was bought for him after signing onto Zylofon Music label.

It can be recalled that Shatta Wale’s biggest rival Stonebwoy recently labelled him as a comedian who can’t do a live performance for ten minutes but the former wants to use this opportunity to refute such claims.

Shatta Wale is highly tipped to win the 2018 VGMA artist of the year after releasing several hit songs including Ayoo, Starboy, Takin Over, Umbrella, Bulletproof, Dem Confuse and Forgetti.

He recently returned from United States after shooting his first music video under Zylofon Music and has released a latest dancehall tune entitled Caesar which has started earning air play on several radio and television stations across the country.

#Wrap: Ghana Premier League Matchday 3: AshGold on fire, Kotoko suffer first defeat

 

The Miners seem not looking back after an incredible start this season after surviving relegation just six months ago, while Wonders continued their unbeaten run in their maiden campaign in the new format

A rejuvenated Ashanti Gold side continued their impressive start to the season with a home victory over newcomers Karela United FC thanks to defender Richard Osei Agyemang. The results mean that the Miners are the only side to have made it three wins out of three.

However, in Tarkwa, it was all about Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Felix Annan. The young shot-stopper almost became the reason why Paa Kwesi Fabin’s side nearly picked their second away point this season until Medeama got the solitary goal very late in the game through former Kotoko striker Kwame Boateng from the penalty spot.

This is the second defeat in a row to Kotoko at the same venue under two different coaches – Fabin and Zdravko Lugarosic.

At the Red Bulls Arena in Sogakope, goals from Musah Nuhu and youngster Aminu Mohammed handed title holders Aduana Stars their first defeat of the season. Aminu’s strike means that he has become the only player to score in all the games he has featured so far in the top-flight with two of his goals coming from free-kicks.

At the Nana Ameyaw Park in Techiman, debutants Eleven Wonders picked their first victory of the campaign and maintained their unbeaten record, after posting a 3-1 defeat to regional rivals Bechem United.

A brace from Abdul Wahab and another effort from Kwaku Adu were enough to send the Techiman municipality into an ecstatic moment despite a late consolation from Maxwell Frimpong for the visitors while Zuberu

Polo eyes Hearts of Oak return but on a condition

The Phobians manager admits he will relish another chance at the club but there must be certain conditions to help him succeed

Former Hearts of Oak coach Mohammed Polo has divulge that he would jump at the next opportunity to return to the club following a slow start to the 2017-18 Ghana Premier League season.

The Phobians have picked only a point from two games played after a stalemate with debutants Eleven Wonders in Techiman and the defeat to Ashanti Gold at home last weekend.

And according to the ‘dribbling magician’, his doors are opened if management of Phobia gives him the mantle to revert the club to its former glory.

“Why not? I have to help Hearts of Oak because is a team that I really love just like Ghana but football in the country is not developing but due to the current situation of Hearts, I will only return to help when they accept my conditions,” Polo told OTEC FM.

“Ghana football is going down off late and since am a football lover, I’m ready to help improve things” He added

“I think that [Pep] Guadiola, [Jose] Mourinho and Arsene Wenger Guadiola can’t add some value to the players so there will be the same problem. The additional value the coach will add to help the players’ form is what will help the club.

“I always say that it’s very unfortunate when your work is not appreciated especially during my tenure as the head coach of Hearts of Oak, it took me one month to produce a lot of talents in the junior team who are currently making it in the first team so you always need the right coach at the right time else you’ll fail,” he added.

Hearts currently sit 14th on the Ghana Premier League table and face Ebusua Dwarfs in matchday on Thursday at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.

Cassper reveals love for Stonebwoy, says he doesn’t know Shatta Wale’s songs

The South African rapper has further given another twist to the beef currently ongoing in Ghana Music industry after picking Stonebwoy over Shatta Wale

South African rapper Refiloe Maele Phoolo, known in showbiz as Cassper Nyovest, has revealed that he doesn’t know songs of Shatta Movement boss Shatta Wale but enjoys that of his fierce rival Stonebwoy.

According to Cassper, he has read a lot about Shatta Wale recently on the internet and it seems he is a ‘trouble’ maker in Ghana.

“He (Stonebwoy) is an amazing talent,” Cassper told Starr FM.

“He is my favourite and the best dancehall artiste in Africa and it’s only him that I listen to although there are many dancehall artists.

“That guy [called Shatta Wale] is a trouble. Everybody says he is lit. Looks like he’s the most popular here but I think Sarkodie is popular in South Africa than him and Stonebwoy,” he said.

“I have read a lot about him [Shatta Wale]…but I don’t know his music,” he added.

Cassper also advised African artists to be a brother’s keeper as he hopes to unite musicians on the continent in other to project African music to the rest of the world.

“Show me love when I come to your country, so [that] I can show love when one of yours come to mine. That’s what we need in the industry and that’s how we can grow. We must welcome each other,” he advised other African artists.

Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale are currently in a hot ‘beef’ after the former released a diss song entitled Dirty Enemies and further described his rival as lyrically and musically not better than him. On Sunday evening, Shatta Wale replied the diss song with No Mercy for the cripple.

Cassper is ranked among the top ten rappers on African soil and according to pundits, he is a little ahead of Sarkodie due to his public appeal and stage craft.

However, he has struggled to release a back to back hit tracks in South Africa recently but he has promised to hit the airwaves with his new songs very soon.

B.Chelsea supporters only lifted referee Liman, he wasn’t beaten, says Nketiah

 

The Blues chief has refuted claims that referee Nuhu Liman was mercilessly beaten by the home supporters leading to his collapse

Berekum Chelsea chief executive officer Nana Kwame Nketiah has denied reports that referee Nuhu Liman was beating by the club’s supporters following the 1-1 draw against Dreams FC at the Golden City Park on Sunday.

Samuel Bimpong got the opener for Dreams before Stephen Amankona snatched the equaliser very late in the game, to deny Dreams two wins in a row.

And according to several sources, the referee was mercilessly manhandled and collapsed in the process but the Chelsea chief says it is purely a fiction.

“It is true that our supporters rushed towards where the referee (Nuhu Liman) was after the game but he fell in the process without anyone everything touching him,” Nketiah told Oyerepa FM.

“After that thing happened, I asked the supporters to lift him and they did just that without any hesitation. Although, they were angry, ref Nuhu Liman was never beaten and I’m not in the known where these false allegations are coming from.

“Before the start of the season, I heard that some people wanted to protect some clubs ahead of the others because their owners are super rich. I am investigating this allegations and should it turn out to be true, I promise there will be fireworks since we’re all investing our respective club’s, ” he added.

Referee Liman has always been in controversies as he was handed an indefinite suspension last season by Ghana FA, following a dubious penalty he awarded Asante Kotoko in the FA Cup quarterfinals game against Nea Salamina and only returned last weekend.

Chelsea currently sit 11th on the log with one point while Dreams have moved to fourth with four points.

Edem predicts chaos following Shatta Wale-Stonebwoy’s new ‘beef’

Edem predicts chaos following Shatta Wale-Stonebwoy’s new ‘beef’

The Ayigbe rapper has advised the two camps to end the new beef which is gradually gain grounds else one may get hurt as a result

Hiplife artist Edem has insisted that Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy must end their recent beef since signs show the future will not be good for the two camps as a result.

Stonebwoy challenged Shatta Wale to engage him in a lyrical battle battle and the latter used that opportunity to rain insults on the BhimNative president.

Although, fans of Stonebwoy did not like the diction in Shatta Wale’s reply, the latter’s fans insist Stonebwoy did same to him on Snapchat

“I tweeted yesterday that very soon someone might get hurt over this beefs. Let’s note that the more we go at each other’s throat the more relevant we become,” Edem told Starr Fm

“I don’t think Stonebwoy and Shatta are making the game stale. I would blame the corporate people for being hypocritical about these issues. When something is not curbed, it would definitely get to a point where there is no limits.

“I think to some extent Zylofon is the only label. I think it would just be right to say any label here is a developing label,” he added.

Both Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy have been nominated for the 2018 Ghana Music Awards, alongside Sarkodie, Joe Mettle and Ebony.

Charterhouse didn’t breach any law to engage Stonebwoy for VGMA nominee jam, says Quaye

Charterhouse didn’t breach any law to engage Stonebwoy for VGMA nominee jam, says Quaye

Charterhouse, organizers of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, has fended off allegations that it engaged the services of Stonebwoy without the consent of Zylofon Media.

After Charterhouse advertised Stonebwoy as one of the acts billed to perform on the night of the Nominees Jam of the awards, reports emerged that the BET Award winner was not going to be attending the event.

This was as a result of concerns Stonebwoy’s record label, Zylofon Media had raised. The label accused Charterhouse of engaging Stonebwoy without their permission, though they had cautioned against such business deals in a communiqué released on March 13 this year.

In a letter that circulated on social media, Kwame Akuffo and Co Unlimited demanded that Charterhouse confirms to their clients (Zylofon Media) if the firm had truly engaged the services of Stonebwoy without the appropriate consent.

However, Head of Communications of Charterhouse, George Quaye on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM with Andy Dosty, insisted, the event organising firm did not err in the process of booking Stonebwoy.

At “Charterhouse, we believe we did what we believe was the right thing to do. We did not violate any regulations,” he explained.

He explained Charterhouse followed already existing procedures in getting the musician and expected that the appropriate persons in his camp would follow the other right procedures.

“If it’s an artiste you’ve worked with in times past, and you already have an existing procedure, you’ll embark on that existing procedure to do it,” George Quaye explained.

He said, even though Stonebwoy’s management had previously said he wouldn’t be available anymore, (an action believed to be as a result of the booking controversy), they later confirmed to Charterhouse, Stonebwoy will be gracing the stage this weekend in Cape Coast.
