Mr. Kenneth Attoh, the Executive Producer of Sparrow Productions has revealed to GhanaCelebrities.com that contrary to what people think, ‘Check Mate’ really sold more than ‘Perfect Picture’. However, he was quick to say that ‘Perfect Picture’ created the buzz because Jackie Appiah was featured.

The list for the most-searched top 10 Ghanaian movie stars on Google had the dark skinned actress trailing the light skinned actress.

It was interesting and also surprising to hear that Nadia Buari is a step ahead of Jackie Appiah. At least it is a known fact that Jackie Appiah is the most loved Ghanaian actress.

Since GhanaCelebrities.Com has constantly being criticized and tagged as always favouring Jackie Appiah, we contacted Sparrow Productions to seek information on which the “movie selling power” of the two actresses (Buari & Jackie Appiah) as far as Sparrow is concern-Nadia.

Iwan, the Lyrical Gunshot

Blessings come in so many ways, shape, sizes and under different circumstances. God works in mysterious ways and blesses people at his appointed time but there was no better time for God to shower in blessing on Iwan, the Lyrical Gunshot than during the launch of his maiden album ‘My Time’. Interestingly, the same day happened to be the day his mum under the guidance of God gave birth to him.

When choosing his stage name, it was obvious Iwan didn’t think of the meaning of that name. However, his ability to find appropriate meaning to that name makes it admirable. He calls it, I Win Always Naturally!

Shaka Zulu, Is Not A Member Of 4X4 Group! Duke Banson Warns

blank

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.

R2Bees’ Kiss Your Hand Music Video Doesn’t Have The ‘Wow’ Factor

Killbeatz, Paedae and Muggees

I have struggled to put my thoughts about the R2bees & Wande Coal “Kiss Your Hand Music Video” video on paper. It has not been easy arriving at these words. What you are about to read is solely my thoughts about the video, like I have always done, I will be saying what I think went wrong.

When I did a story prior to the premiere and launch of the video I said “…. the music is too loud to get everyone’s attention”. Indeed the music is loud, it’s a kind of music everyone would want to dance to. It has a heavy beat and some crazy punch lines which makes it one of the best tunes from Ghana.

Akesifour Comes Back With New Album ‘Magic’

Akesifour

Before they introduced themselves as Ras Biggie (Andy Nii Okai) and Big Joe (Ntim Mensah) and together they form the musical duo Akesifour. I was a bit intimidated because of their looks and structure.

Akesifour as they call themselves is a Twi word which means ‘Big People’ or ‘Big Boys’. According to the duo, their natural sizes aided the choice of the title, this they said at least to suit their looks.

To them one does not need to be rich to be a big boy and being a big boy does not necessarily mean the person must be fat.
