Interviews

4X4 is a rap group discovered by Buk Bak several years back. They were only two members then, namely Captain Planet (Sylvanus Dodji Jeoffrey) and Abortion (Raphael Edem Avornyo).

They released their maiden album ‘Siklitele’ in 2003. ‘Contestant Number 1’ followed it in 2007. Fresh Prince (Prince Tamakloe) who was featured on their 2007 hit HotGirls.com joined the group to make it three.

A lot of awareness was created in the media when Fresh Prince joined the group, so if people are saying Shaka Zulu is a member of the group, why wasn’t any alertness created?

When Richard Cobbina known as Shaka Zulu was arrested some weeks ago, some section of the public carried the story as if he is a member of the 4X4 rap trio. GhanaCelebrities.com then quickly hurried to the office of Mr. Duke Banson of Boomerang Night Club, also the manager of the rap trio.

Though, we are aware Shaka Zulu is not a member of 4X4, we thought it will be excellent to hear from the horse’s own mouth. Mr. Banson explained what happened before they came into contact with him and his subsequently appearance in the ‘Fresh One’ video. Shaka Zulu also appear in a TV commercial for Tigo. (more…)

It is the season of simplicity for the summer and in our movies you will often find that “the dress” is being re-invented as no longer for the child but for the teen and adult. The Fashion Gods have spoken and in comes, Ieashia Hopkins, a designer who is redefining the use of silk and cotton; coupled with the art of crochet.

History laments that crochet is French, however we know better because traditionally it is found among the Asiatic and peoples of the Americas. Empire State based Ms. Hopkins has delivered on a promise to provide us interview and exclusive views of her latest apparel. Three words that capture the collection are: Inventive, Chic, and Jaw dropping.

GhanCelebrities.Com partnered with Noirgossip.com (a sister site under Lounge multimedia) to catch up for  an exclusive interview with the extremely talented 16 year old actor Kofi Siriboe.

This brilliant young man along with his two brothers Kwame Boateng and Kwesi Boakye have made entertainment a family affair as all are involved in this business.

Besides modeling, Kofi has acted in several TV series’ and American movies including “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, “Entourage” , “Lincoln Hieghts”  and most notably, “The Longshots”.

GhanaCelebrities.Com : Tell us, how did you and your brothers get started in the business?

Kofi Siriboe: When I was 7 years old my brothers and I were approached by an agent in the mall but right away my mom thought it was scam and we basically blew the lady off. The agent was persistent though and after some research we came to find out she was actually legit. I went on to do print ads and commercials. After a several years of continued work I wanted to expand so just a couple years ago I ventured out into TV and movies and I now I’m hooked (laughs). (more…)

This is some deep sh*t. I do not even know what to believe in relation to Nasara’s theft allegation and story. Nasara,  Ghana Most Beautiful 2009 is not only saying she did not steal any phone from Miss UK, but  has not even been to UK , the place the action (theft) is said to have taken place.

I was preparing to reach her for an exclusive interview to bring her side of the story, but she has just spoken to Peacefm and as such there is no need for a second talk on this with her.  I am therefore bringing to  GC readers what Nasara told Peacefm….

Embattled beauty queen Nasara, (real name Mariam Abdul Rauf) winner of “Ghana’s Most Beautiful” 2009 pageant who has been stripped off her crown for allegedly stealing a mobile phone belonging to a fellow contestant Miss UK at the Miss Earth 2010, held in the Philippines, has made some revelation in an exclusive interview with peacefmonline.com.

Morris D’Voice was a recipient of Ghana Music Awards Best Sound Engineer on two occasions, in 2003 and in 2005. The sound engineer turned musician who was formally known as ‘Baby Face’ was officially launched as a musician last Saturday at Silver Lifestyle Store.

Though he has made several appearances in other people’s songs, including singing the chorus ‘Bam Bam Tsiki Tsiki Bam Bam’ in Kontihene’s Aketesia. He has done other stuffs with Esther Smiths and others. Morris has eventually released his maiden album titled ‘Home & Away’.

Reading the acknowledgement in the CD inlay of ‘Home & Away’. Morris said “Truly, I am thankful, my precious gift, my mum, you are one of the few who will abandon their dreams to nourish that of their children. I know you would prefer me doing gospel but I promise, this is clean”.

And truly, the ‘Home & Away’ album contains 13 ‘clean’ songs. Though Morris is not doing gospel, the mum will be proud upon hearing the songs. The songs are not gospel, they come close to it because no foul or swearing words were used. (more…)

Well, looking at the Ghana Film Industry, a movie such as ‘Coz Ov Moni’ is long over due in coming. Ghana can boast of juju, robbery and the likes storylines in movies.

One thing we are lacking in Africa is encouragement; and what we have in abundance is back biting and pull-him-down disease. Good to know there are still people in Africa, who still believe in creativity and originality. (more…)

Little is known of boxer Raymond Narh to Ghanaians, yet those in the State calls him the puncher kid from Ghana with Sugar Ray Robinson style. One thing that put him on the world map is the fact that he broke the legendary boxer, Azumah ‘Zoom Zoom – the professor’ Nelson twenty years record in the Commonwealth Games in Malaysia by winning gold.

A feeling Raymond can’t explain and the joy is still with him in this very moment. He described that feeling as more than hitting a jack pot. Ray Narh is Ghana’s new boxing hope. He is the pound for pound the best lightweight boxer in the sport.
