Some Ghanaian artists keep blasting bloggers and media presenters but these artistes forget that when their songs and contents are not played on the radio and are not published on the internet, it affects them. Bloggers and radio presenters really have a greater influence on the visibility of every single artiste and celebrities in general.
However, hiplife rapper born Nii Addo Quaynor, known by his stage name Tinny has expressed disappointment in Ghanaian bloggers on the type of irrelevant content they’ve been putting on their sites.
The Ga people of coastal Ghana, of which Shatta Wale is a proud member, have reserved the name of a mouse for thieves – in honour of the rodent’s love of ‘stealing’ fish or anything else left out by humans.
Thus a thief is dubbed ‘kwakwe’, or mouse – which was the inspiration for another Ga artiste Tinny’s best selling single and album of all time.

Hiplife veteran Nii Addo Quaynor, known by his stage name of Tinny or alternatively as ‘Aletse’, has returned with a brand new hybrid tune. Tinny teams up with reggae/dancehall general Ras Kuuku on ‘Valley of Death’ and you can already guess the message of the song based on its title.
Ghanaian Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale has ‘accused’ his colleague musician, Tinny of being the cause of his sleepless nights.

Controversial rapper, the man with a female name, Yaa Pono otherwise known as PonoBiom has said regardless of how popular an artist is seen in Ghana, he or she is still an underground musician until the Black Entertainment Television (BET) in U.S.A has awarded him or her. The Tema based rapper PonoBiom speaking in an interview on Adom TV’s Badwan show with Sister Sandy said that the only thing an artist can boast of is to be Awarded by BET. You can’t just stay in Ghana, a country of just 30 million in population and claim to be a King.

It’s no secret that a lot of local artists have a problem with the running of MUSIGA, with Obour usually accused of being corrupt and running the organisation into the ground.

Rapper Nii Addo Quaynor, more commonly known by his stage name of Tinny, is furious with up and coming artists who fire warning shots at their shows before they start performing.
The veteran star in a Facebook Live video tore into these young artists, especially those in the dancehall genre who engages in such stupidity.
Rapper Nii Addo Quaynor, known in Showbiz as Tinny or Aletse Kankpe, was recently the victim of a robbery which threatens to derail his hugely anticipated comeback.
The rapper’s car was broken into late night during a studio session, with the thieves making away with a duffel bag containing his laptop, an external hard drive and an undisclosed amount of cash.
Recently, talks of mansions has become an issue in the music industry after Kwaw Kese boldly declared no musician in the country owns a $1m house, contrary to claims by Shatta Wale and Fuse ODG in the past.
The ‘man insane’ also claimed that he would build the first truly multi million dollar house, a $2.5m mansion currently under construction.
During my undergraduate Law School days in London, a bunch of white mates kept shouting my name out one afternoon—calling me to come and have a look at something they were staring at on a laptop.
After several minutes of ignoring their calls, I decided to end the nuisance by responding, by making a walk to the corner of the library, where they had gathered.
They had stumbled on an article which was not a satire (reported as a fact with an eyewitness account)—and the article stated that a cat had turned into a human being in Nigeria.
The ridiculousness of this was the reason why they were bothering me on the assumption that since I was from Ghana, I could explain to them if people still believed in such “hocus pocus,” only of contemporary relevance in the West in Harry Porter and other fictional books.
I looked at them in shame and said something along the lines; “a lot of people still believe in such Palaeolithic era nonsense” and quickly added that “it’s mostly the old generation with little or no education.”
Of course, I was lying with the second part of my answer. The African superstitious nonsense has no generational boundaries, both the old and the new are pathetically hooked on it as though it’s in the water given to us from birth.
Over the weekend, Ghanaian musician-Tinny stated that his musical career is not progressing because someone has ‘juju’ him in Benin. Like a typical African dodging responsibility for their actions, Tinny thinks there can be no other explanation for failure unless someone else is ‘doing’ you.
He does not only believe this to be true, he actually believes it’s plausible enough for him to serve it to the Ghanaian population which largely believes in such things.
Hiplife star Nii Addo Quaynor, more commonly known by his stage name Tinny, claims that his career has stalled in recent years because someone has taken him to a fetish priest in Benin.

Braimah Kamoko, also known as Bukom Banku, is unbeaten his entire career. If he had more money we would describe him as the ‘Floyd Mayweather’ of Ghana. But he doesn’t so we won’t. He’s still a formidable opponent though.
