Some of the conversations and status updates on social media are deeply funny, interesting, eye-opening, absurd and silly—and we’ve decided to bring you one of such random social media messages we come across each day under a new column: SM Message of the Day. Now, read the below and share… Welcome to Ghana, where typing … Read more
Stevie Wonder has been making pretty good use of his lawyers in recent times. He first sued his dead lawyer’s estate for allegedly ripping him off, and has finalised a divorce in the last few days.
Wonder claims his first contract with his lawyer contained a clause that he’ll pay his lawyer’s family forever. He says he trusted the lawyer and believes he snuck that in there because Stevie cannot see.
Raven-Symone was a cute kid once, on the Cosby show, and she seemed smart too; unfortunately she has not aged with that.
Since joining The View, she has gotten into trouble more than once for some ridiculous, ill thought out comments. Well, she tried her best to sound her looney best on Thursday’s show as well.
Apart from the undisputed fact that the above four names are deluded Ghanaian Celebrities who attract perennial undeserving media attention, they are plainly benighted social media self glorifying losers—who in reality have “nothing enviable” to their names.
And yet, they wouldn’t grant us a decent week without their constant outbursts, mostly targeting one of themselves which frequently make the headlines.
They say empty barrels make the most noise…right? I say, these four bimbos define the direction of Ghana’s Showbiz noise with their shocking and cheap antics which we would never get used to no matter how often they throw them at us…
It has become a weekly confusing cycle of idiocy—always with one of these names serving as the fountainhead of the nonsense. Occasionally, we get strange casualties such as Nana Aba Anamoah taking charge of the headlines but even that, trust one of these loud-foul mouth industry ‘roundheels’ to quickly snatch the truncheon.
Perhaps, it’s a shadow race among these four, ‘the coarse square of nuisance’ to battle one another each week—so to select one before they all die to permanently occupy the upper echelon of the knuckleheads, a position no rational person would ever envy.
These 4 share a common denominator; ignorance—and 3 claim to be Ashantis or have a strong connection with Kumasi, something they have to remind us anytime they are engaged in one of their numerous brutish verbal assaults.
Look, what’s so interesting about being an Ashanti on the battlefield of insults? I would have ran to adjust my lineage if such claims were attached to clever ideas.
If being an Ashanti accords you with a sharp tongue to swank when you have nothing to your name or to smirk in triumph on the battlefield of degrading words, then I pity all those who are proudly Ashanti.
I am sure there are several decent Ashantis out there but why don’t I hear any of these people flogging these swaggeringly irresponsible and studiedly obnoxious characters for their constant equating of being Ashanti to being a linguist of insults?
Interestingly, all these four are grown adults, capable of being my mother—I mean in biology and nothing else. Yet, they come off as though they are always drunk or inanely high.
But then again, it’s alleged they all have either smoke or alcohol problems—surely if we had rehab facilities in Ghana and if we were honest with our evaluations, these people would have been pushing the social media send bottons from inside one of these facilities.
Now let’s look at the linchpin of nuisance-Afia Schwarzenegger (real name Valentina Nana Agyeiwaa), and then follow it up with Deloris Frimpong Manso (Delay) , Mzbel (Nana Ekua Amoah) and Diamond Appiah—and you wouldn’t miss the entrenched similarities.
Afia Schwarzenegger is a real hustler, an alleged former prostitute with strong back in the day trade ties at Adabraka, Accra—with the lowest level of education in the square, loud-putrid mouth which is only great at dishing out insults.
She is great at sending out artillery of insults but very sensitive in handling any when she becomes the receiver—probably, she has not heard of back to sender.
Actress-Nana Ama McBrown and her partner-Maxwell Mensah are still pushing the love box—against all speculations of going to break up, the two are still madly in love.
And their obsession with social media PDA has brought them on here again—holding each other tight while smiling to the camera.
Earlier this year, there were rumours that the two were planning to get married but since then, we’ve not really heard anything on this.
For Nana Ama McBrown, this is her last stop and she seems to be really enjoying it.
Ghanaian actress-Juliet Ibrahim is currently in Nigeria, where she debuted her new short hair—-and we love it. The actress made headlines yesterday for having said men take interest in using and dumping light skinned girls.
She was reported to have said in an interview: “Men have that mentality, they just use you for a period of time to show off but when it comes to making you a wife, it’s a problem. And I have a lot of mixed race friends that go through the same problem.”
We have a photo of John Dumelo—bursting out of his t-shirt as though he is the new hulk. John seems to be gaining a lot of weight.
We also have Jackie Appiah and Christabel Ekeh posing for the camera…
This is a photo of the 1994 Mfantsipim School prefects…. And we have a very popular Ghanaian actor among them. The actor, who usually plays ‘lover boy’ roles, was then a ‘Grounds Prefect’ at Kwabotwe. Who can spot the celebrity in this photo?
Kaakie unleashes a brand new song title ‘Give It To Me’. The Dancehall sensation has been mia for sometime now, with some people even speculating she is quitting music for good. All the retirement rumours were squashed after she announced via her official Facebook account that she is releasing a jam Saturday (October 10). And … Read more
Nude photos of singer Justin Bieber were plastered online during the week, but I’ll bet that was not the most embarrassing thing to happen to the Biebs this week.
That would be when his dad, Jeremy Bieber, decided to wade into the photo controversy. Needless to say, you do not ever want your father or mother, having to comment on your nude photos.
Recently we learnt of how Eminem had touched the life of a young fan of his, which he felt inclined to do because someone also touched his life once.
It was many people, but one of them was Tupac. Eminem has always idolised him, and recently Paper Magazine gave him the chance to put that into writing when he was asked to pen a tribute piece to him.
If Justice means staying within the borders of the law and being accountable for your actions even when the fight is against ruthless cartels, ‘Sicario’ would come off as a thriller founded on ‘using all means’ to achieve a result, heavily motivated by vengeance—therefore a bunch of “bad” US agents taking illegitimate hit at the bad guys from Mexico.
Emily Blunt (who plays Kate) confidently steps into the movie as a lead FBI agent, specialising in the field of kidnap-victim recovery. That sounds straight forward and less harrowing but not when she leads her men to a cartel safe house—where they were plunged into total shock by their findings, made worse by a bomb blast which killed two of her men.
This opening horrendous experience sets the film on a path, defining Emily Blunt’s direction and ushering the viewer into the sort of cartels the “good guys” are up against. But who really is a good guy becomes difficult to establish as the film rolls on.
Idealist, young but tactful-Blunt and her partner were horrified by the cartel safe-house experience and when she was offered the opportunity by those who call the shot at the Homeland Security to join the direct fight against those who were responsible for the horror, it took her less than a minute to agree.
True to his words, the BBnZ Live act Ko-Jo Cue has released his latest single, ‘Count Your Money’. The banger which is guaranteed to blaze the charts and the dancefloors across the nation also features his label mate Shaker.
The song was produced by Sam 1 (same guy who gave E.L Sister Araba last year) and features Ko-Jo Cue telling his doubters to allow him to enjoy his new found success instead of attributing it to shady business.
