Fuse ODG Boycotts BET Awards Because of Their Annual Backstage Awarding of African/UK Acts + My Take…

It’s deeply worrying and also difficult to understand why most Africans pathetically think they need validation from foreigners as the true measure of their success or greatness. And even when these foreigners continue to disrespect us, we continue to beg for their attention in the face of the unending contempt.

Since the inception of the annual BET African Acts category, African artistes have been treated like second class citizens—perhaps, it’s safe to say, as though we carry a contagious disease.

Each year, our greatest stars enthusiastically fly to America to be disrespected—and pitifully, they smile in the face of this gross contempt. And this is because; they desire a worthless plaque which adds nothing substantive to their careers, except a phrase in front of their names when certain writers decide to me generous to them.

As usual, BET handed the awards for the Best International Act (Africa and UK) backstage—as though these artistes work less than their counterparts who are regularly awarded on the main stage.

For this continuous disrespect to African/UK talents, UK based Ghanaian musician-Fuse ODG boycotted this year’s BET Award—for a plus, he even performed at the largest greenfield festival in the world-Glastonbury. You may not have heard of it, but Glastonbury is far bigger, popular and much respected than BET Awards.

Why would any artiste who takes pride in his achievements and talent forfeit Glastonbury to attend BET Awards, only to be boxed in an auditorium backstage when he wins an award? Fuse ODG is looking else where and our local artistes need to forget BET and channel their energy towards something else too.

Asamoah Gyan Names His Reported $3M House ‘La Basilica De Baby Jet’ + NEW PHOTOS

Asamoah Gyan's house
Asamoah Gyan’s house

If I bought or build this house, I would have named it ‘Asomdwe fie’ or give it a nice local name but Asamoah Gyan doesn’t seem to want that—so we are told, he has named his reported 3 million dollars mansionLa Basilica De Baby Jet.

Yesterday, there was an official mansion warming party—to make the place officially inhabitable and we hear, the party was GREAT.

This comes at a time Asamoah Gyan has a pending pregnant issue, hovering sodomy allegation and has accepted to have cheated on his wife with a 22-year-old student.

Whatever it is, it’s true money talks…

GhanaCelebrities.Com was reliably told a few weeks ago that, the house was built by blockfields Ghana LTD.

Apart from the obvious swimming pool, we are told the house has a cinema which takes up to 50 people and has about 10 bedrooms with flat screen TVs in every walkway, room and the kitchen.

Our source at the time said; “it’s a beautiful house with two security by-pass”—meaning, you have to go through two security gates to get into the compound.

And that the house was initially for a certain Michael who placed it on the market for sale. For the price, even though we initially said an eye estimation by us places the value below $400,000 as opposed to the $3 million being reported, the source says, it was for sale for $4.5 million but he cannot confirm if indeed Asamoah Gyan paid that much.

Check the below new photos from Asamoah Gyan’s mansion located near Kasoa, Accra…

Flood in Kumasi Kills One Person & Several Others Displaced | The gods Are At Work Again

Kumasi flood
Kumasi flood

It looks like the gods are on fire—but which of the many gods caused this new flood and death? Because, there was no violation of any obvious rule in Kumasi, as the Ga Traditional Council claimed for the recent deaths and flood in Accra.

According to reports coming in from Kumasi, one person has died and several others displaced at Aboaba Number One in Kumasi—following a heavy rainfall last night. Several properties have also been destroyed…

The gods are getting out of hand and we need to call them to order—perhaps, they are highly intoxicated from the constant pouring of libation so we need to start by ending this practice.

Why Does God Hate Gays More Than Slave Owners And Mass Murderers?

Why Does God Hate Gays More Than Slave Owners And Mass Murderers

I have to admit I’ve been running around trying to find the angle to which to write on this Supreme Court decision and bash the idiocy of the religious right determined to fight this to the death.

I had run so many angles through my mind, until this one just fell into my lap right of Facebook.  I found it so profoundly true and interesting I just tossed all my other ideas right out the window.

The rhetoric from Christians since America legalised same sex marriages is that God is going to destroy us just as he did to biblical Sodom and Gomorrah. People are so scared sh*tless they are running around like headless chickens, claiming they would disobey or disregard a ruling from the nation’s highest court.

Yet the Christian posturing on this issue makes absolutely no sense, none at all. America, like most Western nations, has a history bathed in wars and slavery. Most of the world suffered the imperialism of Western nations, going about carting their fellow human beings off like goods, to be used as their masters saw fit. Interestingly, slavery was justified using the Christian bible, a product of ancient Palestine.

Nicki Minaj’s Ex-Safaree Samuels Banned From The 2015 BET Awards Red Carpet? | Nicki Minaj Caused That?

The star power can push for a lot of things—and it seems Nicki Minaj has just shown her ex-Safaree Samuels that, she is the real star and not him.

The 2015 BET Awards will kick off soon but Nicki’s ex-Safaree Samuels won’t be making it to the red carpet, according to a tweet he sent out.

And this is because, he claims, the award organizers told his publicist that he is banned from the red carpet—if this ban is indeed true, we cannot all miss who is behind the call.

Since Nicki Minaj and Safaree Samuels’ relationship break up, both have granted interviews accusing one another—and saying, the other took a piss throughout the many years that they were together.

See exactly what Safaree Samuels wrote below…

Sharia Court Sentences Nine People To Death In Nigeria For Blasphemy

Court1

It’s absolutely shameful that in 2015 anyone still has to die for exercising their right to free speech, worse that any modern country would allow religious laws to be used to try its citizens.

Religion, no matter how much its adherents try to cloak it as benevolent and benign, never allows for freedom of the individual. God needs you on your knees worshipping him constantly- the definition of servility; and he also brooks no dissent.

An Islamic court in Kano, Nigeria, has sentenced 9 people, 8 men and a woman, to death for blasphemy. They were accused of insulting the prophet Mohammed and they all pleaded guilty.

Texan Pastor Claims He Would Set Himself On Fire To Protest Gay Marriage | Oh Wait, He Was Just Kidding

Texan Pastor Claims He Would Set Himself On Fire

The US Supreme Court’s decision to legalise gay marriage nationwide has provoked such visceral reactions from the Christian right that makes you wonder if they’re really Christian.

For adherents of a religion whose founder rather famously asked them to love their enemies and do good to those that hate them, Christians aren’t being very Christ-like in reacting to this ruling. Of course, the bible also asks them to kill the gays in the Old Testament, and they aren’t doing that either. It’s all very confusing.

A pastor in Texas took things to a whole new level when he threatened that him and some of his pastor friends are ready ‘to burn’ to protest the ruling if need be. Sounding filled with bravado and very martyr-like, Rick Scarborough said, before Friday’s judgement…

Socrate Sarfo Says Hiplife Artiste-Tinny Has Irresponsibly Given Birth to About 16 Children + He is An ‘Example Of Untamed Cobra in An Opened Flap’

Socrate Sarfo

To understand the feud between movie-producer/director-Socrate Sarfo and Hiplife artiste-Tinny, let’s give you the background.

It all started a few months ago in the studios of Peace Fm where Tinny was a guest artiste on the station’s Entertainment Review to promote his then new release ‘Badder Than Them.’ During an interview with the artiste, Socrate Sarfo who was a panel member threw out comments the musician disdained.

The near fight situation was controlled but before that, Tinny also threw several punches the way of Socrate Sarfo—calling him a failed movie maker, just as Socrate Sarfo trashed his song.

A few days later, Tinny released another single solely dedicated to the film-maker, calling him all manner of names.

President Obama’s Brother-Malik Abongo ‘Roy’ Obama Sells A Revealing Handwritten Letter From the President

Though the amount President Obama’s half-brother-Malik Abongo “Roy” Obama sold this handwritten letter for is yet unknown—what is known is that a letter the president of United States penned about 20 years ago which revealed certain important personal ambition details have been sold by the brother.

In the said letter, Obama makes it clear his ambition and the reason why he was going into politics and this includes “to deal with some serious issues blacks face here.”

Obama wrote then that;

“Some colleagues of mine here have talked me into running for the Illinois State Senate (like being an MP for a province),” the future world leader wrote his kin in July 1995, before his political career began. “I have agreed, since I have an interest in politics to deal with some serious ­issues blacks face here.”

Not just that, the letter also reveals Obama’s dislike for meetings, saying, “Of course, it involves a lot of campaigning, going to meetings and so on, which I don’t find so attractive.” He adds, “Anyway, if I win it will only be a part-time post, and I will ­continue my work as a lawyer.”

This handwritten letter was reportedly sold by Malik as a package with a copy of a manuscript of Obama’s first book, “Dreams From My Father,” with handwritten notes. And it also gives an update on First Lady Michelle and his late mother, who died later that year.

CHRIS-VINCENT: So Many Uneducated Douche Bags Sit On Ghana Radio Stations As Panel Members…

Radio

On social media, people are surprised that someone (I don’t know this person) said there are a lot of uneducated douche bags sitting on Ghanaian radio stations, especially on entertainment shows as panel members.

Perhaps, the person’s boxing of this problem to Kumasi is where the fault lies—because, it’s the same in Accra and worst in those small towns.

I have stopped wasting my time listening to these radio stations in Ghana—2 to 4 hours of my time can be put to good use. If nothing at all, I can read a book and learn a new word. Far better than listening to people who have nothing to do with their time and so move from one radio station to another, just to waste your time too.

Which expert will waste his time moving from one station to another (unpaid)—except given a transportation fee? Maurice Ampaw may do so but not Prof. Ken Attafuah. So who is the expert and the waste here?

These people must have a boring life to be wasting it this way—and this is what translates into the commentaries they pass.

From radio A, the person moves to radio B, then radio C and radio Q. All unpaid—no expert will have such no use for his knowledge or time. In fact, in the UK and USA, experts are paid to become panel members…

This is the same as writing for a newspaper or magazine for free—which true expert is going to do that all the time?

While blaming these people who obviously have nothing doing, you should also blame those radio stations which keep pulling them on there—and the listeners who play part in the time wasting by listening.
