Samini Should Behave As an Adult – Shatta Wale

Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale formerly known as Bandana has described High Grade Family artist Samini as a grown up and must behave as such.

Breaking the silence on the unending feud that seems to get most entertainment pundits worried on E Talk, an entertainment TV Show hosted by Amanda Jissih, Shatta Wale disclosed he has always respected Samini and even gave a hearty apology live on stage during the BASS Awards just to make peace with the said artist only to be hit with another diss song.

Asked why he would not turn a deaf ear to some of the issues and diss songs targeted at him and would reply such comments with songs within a short while, he answered saying;

I reply such songs with the same swiftness as a lion would when its tail is stepped upon. I am a straight forward person and I speak my mind just as others do.

Speaking of possible ways of solving the feud, Shatta Wale disclosed he finds it disturbing for the industry and only wished Samini would behave maturely, in such ways the feud would be solved.

When you have a musician who doesn’t want you to eat and will tell event organizers not to put you on the same show, that is bad. If you don’t want me to eat, then I will make sure you also don’t eat!!

Meanwhile, attempts are being made by the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) to resolve the feud between the two biggest dancehall artists in Ghana at the moment.

Okyeame Quophi is Back in Business

After staying away from his musical career for God knows how long, Okyeame Quophi, now known as Quophi Okyeame has dropped three new singles this month to announce his return to the music industry.

And guess what? He isn’t rapping like he is known for but singing evergreen highlife like never before. The singles are ‘Keep On Moving’, ‘Odo Nsuo’ and ‘Gye Fa’ which have begun enjoying appreciable airplay.

Showbiz caught up with him last Friday and he let us into what he has been up to, “I have been working hard at Rainbow Radio 87.5FM as the Programmes Manager and late afternoon show host Away Bus from 4pm-7pm.

I have also been running my Emklan Media Company, still directing music videos, TV commercials, recording voice over and making music for other people and myself,” he said in his usual bubbly self.

Quophi is also the presenter of Soundsplash on TV Africa, “I do all these in addition to being a father of three and a husband. So you see, I have been very busy,” he added.

So why did he decide to come back to music after all this while? Quophi said his fans were always on his case to come back, “I have always said that music is a spirit that never leaves. Dreams and aspirations get in the way sometimes but the love of it never dies. I got a wake-up call from Samuel Atta Mensah of Citi FM and that gave me more reason to put my composition, production and singing skills back into commercial practice.”

And when he decided to go back to music, Quophi settled for his first love, highlife, “I’m going back to my first love, highlife. I have intentions of exploring other African genres.”

He hinted that he started off by listening to and imitating the likes of C.K.Mann, Amandzeba, Felix Owusu, Nana Ampadu, Gyedu Blay Ambolley and others. According to him, Akyeame started as a singing duo but later gave in to the rap craze; Mesan Aba, Menko Meda, Obaapa and Kolo all attest to that.”

Does Quophi have a problem with the kind of music being churned out lately? “No, I think what is happening is really great. It’s really great doing today’s music but it’s a matter of feeling. What I feel and think is mostly represented in what I am expressing.

“I am actually managing a lot of artistes including Egya Kay, Ntim, Sante, Honny (Mentor) and others who are into this modern or popular music if you like. I want to do something which will stand the test of time.”

Asked why he changed his name from Okyeame Quophi to Quophi Okyeame, he said the idea of name change has lingered in his mind for a while especially concerning where his music career was heading. “Everyone knows Okyeame Quophi the rapper of Akyeame fame, now it’s time to feel the inverted Quophi.”

He expressed his deepest gratitude to God, his family, the entire Emklan Production and management team, Kweku Duah (Kindee), Prince Nana Poku, Ackah Blay, Dan Grahl, Zapp Mallet, Appietus, Mr Osei (trumpeter), Akuffo(percussion), Naa Shika, Lamissi and DJ Candy Man.

“I also want to say a big ‘thank you’ to my never broken fans and the world for containing me”, he added.

Osita Iheme (PawPaw) Arrested In Kumasi For Working Without Permit

Nigerian top actor, Osita Iheme, mostly known as ‘Pawpaw’ was arrested while on a movie set in Kumasi on Thursday,

Reports say the 31-year-old ‘smallish’ actor was on a Ghanaian movie set when the incident happened, but he has since been released.

Eyewitnesses said law enforcement agents dressed in mufti in the company of officials of the Ghana Actors Guild (GAG) and the Film Producers Association of Ghana (FIPAG), walked into the set and accosted Popo for working in Ghana without a work permit.

The production has also been put on hold until the Nigerian actor gets the necessary work permit.

Public Relations Officer for FIPAG, Michael Kwaku Ola, however, explained that there is an agreement among the movie industry players that any foreign film maker wanting to work in Ghana must first get an official work permit from the Ghana Actors Guild and a permit from FIPAG.

“Oh it was not both Aki and Popo. It was only Popo and there was a little issue because he did not have any of these permits. But he has not come for the permit from FIPAG and he is working on the others,” Ola explained.

He said the arrangement was aimed at protecting Ghanaian film makers from the influx of foreign nationals to the movie industry.
