The news that Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy have finally smoked the peace pipe is causing waves not just in Ghana but outside the country as well.
These two have been beefing for so long that it’s not surprising the slightest news that they are working things out can travel all around the world.
The trolls are out for Shatta Wale after the release of the BET nominees list for this year.
Wale had been bragging on social media yesterday with his eleven 3 Music Award plaques but was once again missing from the nominees’ list for this year’s BET, as was every other Ghanaian star.
The boss of Sarkcess Music and SarkNation, Michael Owusu Addo widely known as Sarkodie has hailed his fans (SarkNation) for their support ever since he hit the limelight.
According to Sarkodie in a Facebook post, he won the 2012 “Best International Act: Africa” at the Black Entertainment Awards (BET) as a result of the massive support from his SarkNatives.
A few days ago, the British female rapper, Steflon Don born Stephanie Victoria Allen stormed Ghana and during one of her interviews claimed she doesn’t know Sarkodie.
Personally, I realised that was a clear sign to prove that she personally didn’t like the Ghanaian rapper, not because she doesn’t know him as she claimed.
Most Ghanaian musicians have either been nominated for the BET awards or won a BET award but it looks different in the case of rapper E.L who has never won any BET award ever since he started his music career.
It has been a norm that whoever wins the ‘Artiste of The Year’ award at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) gets nominated at the Black Entertainment Television Awards (BET), but rapper and producer, E.L has never been nominated for the BET awards.
BET Award nominee Kwesi Arthur has bemoaned the state of Ghanaian music and how very little how songs are able to penetrate the international market.
According to Kwesi Arthur, compared to the Nigerian music industry and Nigerian songs, our industry is a pathetic joke when it comes to making waves abroad.
Ghanaian fast-uprising artiste, Kwesi Arthur became the most talked about artiste in Ghana 24 hours ago when news about his BET nomination hit the internet.
The ‘Grind Day’ hitmaker appreciating Ghanaians for their support took to his Instagram page and posted:
UK based Ghanaian artist Fuse ODG has slammed the BET awards as disrespectful of Africans and said Ghanaian artists should stop placing too much priority on the scheme.
According to Fuse, we should be thinking of alternative ways of expanding our music to reach the world instead of concentrating too much on an awards scheme which has little respect for our artists.
Ghanaian gospel artiste, Gifty Osei a.k.a. ‘Empress One’ has said her aim is to win an award at the Black Entertainment Awards, BET.
Gifty Osei speaking on Adom FM’s ‘Work and Happiness’ show on Thursday 5th April 2018 with Ohemaa Woyeje said;
The Ghanaian Afropop singer, born Livingstone Etse Setekla, known on stage as Stonebwoy, born on March 5th, 1988 in Ashaiman, turns 30 year old today.
Stonebwoy started his musical carrier as an underground rapper and has made it to the top winning several awards including BET Award.
Ghanaian Afropop and dancehall artiste, MzVee has revealed that she has no plans of bowing out of music, meaning she will be in the music business for the rest of her life.
MzVee made this known during an interview on Kasapa FM’s K-Entertainment with Kojo Preko Dankwa, MzVee said, “I want to do music for the rest of my life hopefully because I’m not an office type of person.”
Ghanaian rapper Elom Adablah has announced plans to change his management team to bring in new blood to elevate his brand to the next level.
The rapper, known professionally as EL, has hinted at making changes at the top.
2016 VGMA Artiste of the Year, Elorm Adabla, aka EL, says the nominations for the BET awards follows a sort of ‘whom you know’ pattern, which is why he believes he has not receive any nominations for the awards.
EL, speaking to KMJ on Daybreak Hitz, said that he believed back in 2016 that his good work would speak for itself and get him nominated, not knowing he needed to have contacts and lay some groundwork before he would be considered.
Bhim Nation big boss man Stonebwoy would perform at Sunday’s BET Awards main ceremony, Black Entertainment Television has announced.
The recently married dancehall star would be joined by Nigeria’s Wizkid for the groundbreaking performance.
Nigerian act Mr Eazi, one of the 8 nominated stars competing for the 2017 BET Award in the Best International Act, Africa, category, has expressed his stunning view that he sees himself as an upcoming artiste.
Speaking on his nomination for the award, Eazi said it’s the just the start of more things to come because he believes he hasn’t really accomplished anything yet.
Shatta Wale has to be the most grumpy loser of all time. His entire career was launched after he tore into Charterhouse over losing an award and years down the line, here we are again.
After Stonebwoy (again) picked up Ghana’s only nomination for the 2017 BET awards night, most local artists were gracious and congratulated him on his win, Shatta instead took to social media to throw a typical childish tantrum.
Shatta Wale says he’s not worried about a BET awards nomination, but he sure seems to be tweeting a lot about it.
The nominees list for the 2017 awards dropped Monday and whilst his great rival Stonebwoy made the cut, Shatta’s name was nowhere to be found.
C.E.O and leading act of ‘Off Da Ground Records‘ Fuse ODG has added his voice to the millions who expressed their opinion of how the just ended VGMAs was absolutely mean to Mr Eazi.
According to Fuse ODG, who was speaking to Berla Mundi on GhOne Tv, the VGMAs has not been fair to Mr. Eazi, especially when they previously failed to recognize him legible to be part of the scheme as a Ghanaian Artiste despite everything about his music being Ghanaian with his relentless effort of putting Ghana on the global map as well.

Dear Chris-Vincent,
African artist should boycott the BET Awards and just concentrate on developing their careers. It baffles me that people who are highly successful and famous in Ghana, Nigeria and other parts of Africa continue to make a fool out of themselves on TV all because the TV station is American.
Let’s not forget that BET gives the awards of African acts backstage—yet these artistes are made to set up and pose as if, it was part of their main show in front of empty chairs (pre recorded with some folks from God knows where brought in to shout). Just look at the photo above…
Last year, Ice Prince embarrassed the other acts and by extension the whole African music industry by asking the other nominated artistes to join him on stage to take a picture—-in an almost empty auditorium so that those back home in Africa will think they are ‘ballin’…
This same absurd act was repeated by Davido at this year’s awards, bringing to light the question; why are some African artists so desperate for recognition from the US? Now don’t get me wrong, it is good to be celebrated abroad but the BET awards is not the Grammys—and if they don’t respect you there, why bother?.
After hearing that this year’s African acts were made to perform in front of technicians, BET workers, cleaners and passerbyers, I just couldn’t hold it again—I had to write this. So BET couldn’t promote and get people to come and watch some of the best acts from Africa and had to fake or struggle with audience?
Sarkodie alone is selling out at events back home so at least the biggest current rapper in Ghana should be treated with the respect he deserves. Then again, before he got on that stage he said “this is our time Africa”. Really?
Okay I just stumbled on this… I like Ghanaians cleverness at copying things. I just think this is good. My problem however with it is the fact that, it lacked variety. It would have been cool if an Ewe and Ga rapper was part of it. Regardless, I think this is … Read more
