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, 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.

Later, it was confirmed that Charter House organisers of the show has removed Stonebwoy from the participating to avoid any legal tussle. However, Burniton Music reached an agreement with Zylofon Music after a long meeting and the two bodies reached an agreement to pave way for the artist to be back on the bill.

Stonebwoy has been nominated for the VGMA Artist of the Year alongside Shatta Wale, Sarkodie and Ebony Reigns of blessed memories and Joe Mettle.

All you need to know about Aduana’s opponents Fosa Juniors of Madagascar in Caf CC playoffs

 

The Fire Club will have to travel to Eastern part of Africa in their bid to make it to the group phase of the competition

Ghana Premier League champions Aduana Stars have been handed a relatively manageable opponents in the Caf Confederation Cup playoffs, after being eliminated from the Champions League by Algerian side E.S Setif 4-1 on aggregate.

The Fire Club will host the Malagasy club at the Nana Agyeman Badu Park I in Dormaa Ahenkro on April 8 before they travel to Stade Alexandre Rabemananjara in the city of Mahajanga for the return leg a fortnight later.

Fosa Juniors eliminated Kenyan side AFC Leopards in the preliminary round of the competition with an away goal rule after sharing the spoils 1-1 away and also drawing goalless at home. They later kicked out A.S Port Loius from Mauritius in the first round with a 3-0 aggregate scoreline which included a 2-0 away victory and will have to square it off with Aduana in the final stage.

Fosa Juniors, who are making their debut appearance in the Confederations Cup just like Aduana, have never won their country’s top-flight title but won the Cup de Madagascar (FA Cup) last season and are currently fifth on the Madagascar Ligue Des Champions with five points.

They are managed by Andre Watzel and the coach spent a couple of days in Kenya prior to their game against Leopards and watched the Super Cup game between his opponents and Gor Mahia, labelled them as a ‘disorganised’ side after the first leg.

GFA lacks funds to organise friendly matches for Black Stars, says Saanie Daara

The Black Stars will have to wait for June before they can play any game since the football association seems to be struggling to raise funds following recent decisions taken by the government

Ghana Football Association communication director Ibrahim Saanie Daara has revealed that they could not attract any country for an international friendly in March since the association doesn’t have the financial resources to pay for costs involved.

The Black Stars were reported to have planned to lock horns with the Reggae Boys of Jamaica this weekend but negotiations fell through after the Concacaf country revealed that Ghana FA will be paying their bills including flight tickets and bonuses.

Already, the country’s ministry of youth and sports had revealed that, government wasn’t prepared to continue with the footing of the Black Stars’ friendlies as they seek to save money and solve other pressing issues.

“If the funds [to organise matches] are not available, there is very little we can do about it,” Saani Daara said.

“We don’t have any opponent to play against for this window. The only match we have lined up will be in June when we take on Iceland in a pre-World Cup friendly as they will be using it to prepare.

“It is about cost and this is a decision the country has to make, if we don’t have friendly matches we must organise them and pay for it,” he added.

According to AshesGyamera‘s sources, the complete take over of Unibank by Bank of Ghana, following the financial institution’s liquidation dur to improper management, has added insult to injury, as they were one of the two sponsors of the Black Stars.

The decision to pull out of the friendly will affect Kwesi Appiah’s plans to qualify and win the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations to be stage in Cameroon since the Black Stars didn’t qyalify to the 2018 Fifa World Cup.

Ghana is ranked 54th in the FIFA World ranking released for the month of February.

Maybe English FA wants to learn ‘age cheating’ from Ghana, former UK High Commissioner slams Nyantakyi

The former British diplomat to Ghana has taken a swipe at the Caf vice president after he said the European country want to learn player registration from Ghana

Former British High Commissioner to Ghana Jon Benjamin has thrown shades at Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi, after the latter said on Monday that English and Scottish FA want to learn how smooth player registration has been done in the West African country after being praised constantly by Fifa.

However, Benjamin, who spent close to three years in the country and got familiar with how Ghanaians register football players, suggests that maybe Nyantakyi wants to teach the Europeans how to have two separate ages -one in real life and one for playing football

The diplomat jokingly revealed that his football age per the Ghanaian ways of doing things is 23 years despite recently turning 55 years of age.
