Yesterday Chris Brown stopped by Hot 97 for an interview. He sat down with host Ebro, Peter Rosenberg, and Lauren Stylez to discuss a whole lot of issues relating to him. The ‘Loyal’ singer talked about his relationships, musical influences, album sales and marriage.
Excerpts from the interview below + videos
Ghanaian actress-Ama K. Abebrese, John Dumelo and Adjetey Anang are currently in London for tonight’s the red carpet premiere of DOUBLE CROSS at the Odeon Cinema in Greenwich (8pm) and you should not MISS it.
African movie lovers who will attend the premiere tonight will get to see something totally different and yet interesting as the movie breaks away from the usual African movie story-lines mostly dominated by witchcraft and unrealistic romance.
In Double Cross “Effie Howard (Ama K. Abebrese) a streetwise programmer’s life is dramatically turned upside down when her fiancé Ben Boateng (Adjetey Anang) is convicted and sentenced for a bank robbery he did not commit. Determined to prove his innocence; she carried out her own investigation and finds the actual robber; Danny Frimpong (John Dumelo) a calm and collected sophisticated genius of a thief who has a personal vendetta against the bank he robbed Neptune Bank International. He robbed the bank using urbane technology which enabled him to enter, steal and exit the bank leaving everyone mystified as to how the theft was carried out, no witnesses, no evidence, yet the money is gone.
She meets Danny and threatens him but later offers him a deal; and it’s to rob the bank again with similar methods as the first so the authorities know the actual robber is still out there, then Danny will not lose what matters to him most and the reason for the bank robbery. She plans to relocate with the stolen money and start a new life with Ben when he is acquitted so as to get away from the stigma attached to ex-convicts and their families. They are successful in the robbing the bank, Effie now sets her sights on a jewellery warehouse and she wants Danny to rob it.
With a lot of jewellery and money at stake, each one of them tries to outwit each other with medleys of smart thinking as they plan and execute the robberies. They meticulously plan the robberies, but no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare them for the dangerous enemy, an enemy Effie least expected and never saw coming; an unexpected turn of events on the day of the robbery, what happened”
His stubbornness lasted for 24 hours, and after immense pressure from his citizens the Burkinabe leader has stepped down.
He issued a statement intimating that the presidency was now vacant and that democratic elections would be held within 90 days.
Compaore has been President for 27 years since he forcibly took over power in 1987, and attempts to legitimise a push for further terms in office led to the protests that have finally seen the end of his rule.
Protests in the capital turned violent on Thursday, with exasperated citizens leading attacks on government. The parliament building was burnt down, other important edifices were ransacked and the president was forced to declare ‘martial law’.

We’ve heard a lot of crap being said about Nigeria and why the country is not a place to visit—leading in corruption as police officers and others will be on your neck all to the time. Also, the filth and the aggresive nature of Nigerian beggers have been a bad experience for many who have visted the country.
Even though our Ghanaain sister-Omo Ghana who is based in Nigeria has in series of articles said Nigeria (Lagos) is not that bad as others paint it, a Yahoo travel writer who has experienced 193 countries has come to say, Nigeria is the worst amongst all the countries he has visited.
After having visited all the 193 member UN countries, he had this to say about Nigeria…
This year’s edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, organised by Charter House, was characterised by some levels of controversy. Even before the awards event was held, some gurus in the entertainment industry punched holes in the awards schemes.
One area in which some entertainment analysts thought the event organises got it all wrong was the ‘New Artiste of the Year’ category. The category included Kumi Guitar, Akwaboah, and Joey B. These three are music artistes some entertainment analysts thought were already in the music industry; therefore shouldn’t be classified as new artistes.
From what we thought was capable enough in suppressing the growth of the musicians involved due to the controversial nature of the issue, Kumi Guitar has come out to state that it rather made him a bit popular.
The newsroom of Starr 103.5 FM has been named after internationally acclaimed Ghanaian journalist, Komla Dumor, who worked with the BBC until his untimely death in January.

Yesterday, Apple CEO Tim Cook publicly confirmed he is gay in an article he wrote for Bloomberg Businessweek, making him the highest-profile chief executive to come out. He stated among other things that, he has been open about his sexual orientation with colleagues at Apple and other people close to him, but has never previously acknowledged his sexual orientation.
In the article in which Cook advocated for human rights and equality, he said he was inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King to set aside his desire for privacy to do something “more important.”
“While I have never denied my sexuality, I haven’t publicly acknowledged it either, until now,” writes Cook. “So let me be clear: I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.”
I’ve already written a piece on Archbishop Duncan Williams’ recent ludicrous statements from the pulpit which degrade women—and subject them to gross contempt (Click Here to Read It).
Interestingly, there is bigotry everywhere in the world and it can be found in every discipline-be it religion or sports. But the difference is; in a civilized society like United Kingdom, sexists have no place—and are instantly placed where they belong.
According to reports; a senior Football Association official of Northumberland County in UK-Mr Cummings who allegedly told a female referee ‘your place is in the kitchen, and not on a football field’ has been suspended for four months.
Even in sports, misogynists have no place—yet in the house of the Lord, they are defended, sadly by the same women such men demean.
Religion and science have never been comfortable bedfellows, because at their core they sharply contrast each other. Science only deals with cold, hard, incontrovertible facts, whilst religion is based on faith: “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”
This has led to several huge battles in the past, mainly the church’s persecution of scientists whose findings often contradict the tenets of religion. Ironically, the Catholic Church remained at the forefront of said persecution for centuries.
One big contention has always been the origins of the world, creation vs. evolution, God vs. Darwin. It is the quintessential religion vs. science debate, and the two have always been seen as mutually exclusive, discouraging religious folks from entertaining the huge possibility that evolution was in fact our origins, since it sharply contradicts the creationist perspective.
But the father of the biggest sect of Christianity worldwide, Pope Francis, has passed comments which point to the veracity of the evolution movement. According to him, the two theories need not cancel each other out, but can co-exist to both explain mankind’s origins.
