Nigeria’s WIZKID Cuts Off BET Awards’ Head | Says ‘I Won’t Be Attending Ur Preshows And Mominee Parties If I’m Getting The Award At 10am Before The Main Show’ + MORE

Interestingly, why the big ‘shot’ artistes with money, exposure and connections are taking hits at BET Awards in order to end the annual disrespect they show to African artistes, the overwhelmed, low earning-artistes like Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Yemi Alade and the others have refused to say a word—actually, Stonebwoy even thinks it’s a blessing to receive BET Awards backstage or be pre-recorded.

UK Based Ghanaian artiste-Fuse ODG who actually turned down an opportunity to work with Bob Geldof and Band Aid 30 because he considered the lyrics demeaning to Africa—took to twitter last night to tell BET Awards’ organisers the truth about their continuous disrespect to the artistes who annually fall within their International Act (UK/Africa) category.

This was because of the yearly BET practice; awarding these acts backstage or at a near empty auditorium way before the actual show.

Over the weekend, GhanaCelebrities.Com was in Lome, Togo to support a charity concert organised by the Emmanuel Sheyi Adebayor foundation, dubbed Emmanuel Sheyi Adebayor (SEA) Youth Festival—and present at the concert to thrill patrons where  Wizkid, Bisa Kdei, Dieudonne Willa, Serge Baynand and others…

Togolese artistes such as Dieudonne Willa and Serge Baynand pumped the required adrenaline into the crowd as they screamed for more.

Ghana’s Bisa Kdei received a rousing welcome when he took his turn to literally shake the crowd. The audience, albeit their lack of fluency in the lyrics of the song still sung out loudly in the most passionate way. Ghanaian comedians Funny Face and Great Salinco joined Bisa on stage to support the ‘Metanfo’ hit maker.

Lola Rae, a British born Ghanaian singer made a cameo appearance on stage when she performed a beautiful track with Bisa Kdei.

The event was a huge success and Adebayor, the former BBC and African footballer of the year mounted the stage to thank the crowd in his native language. The after party continued in Adebayor’s plush residence (a state of the art club in his house) where Ghana’s captain Asamoah Gyan made a surprise appearance.

The SEA Foundation was initiated by Adebayor to empower the underprivileged in the society, starting from Togo.  

The foundation also embodies discovery of talents and a catalyst to spur the young ones to greater height.

### The concert took place at Stade Municipal De Lome which preceded a soocer and fun games at the Marcelo beach the previous day.

I Am Sleeping With Your Boyfriend | A Woman Tells Wizkid’s Girlfriend & She Has Photo Evidence

Wizkid

It doesn’t really hurt if you are not aware that another woman or man is banging your partner—but if the person comes right to your face and tell you, it goes beyond the hurting box. Your dignity is breached and you must leave to keep the little self-respsct left.

Of course many women who are with celebrities for the money or fame will not leave even if another woman does not just claim she is having affair with their men—but presents photo evidence too.

A certain woman has written to Nigerian Blog-BellaNaija.Com with photos showing Wizkid in her bed, telling the musician’s girlfriend that, she has been chopping down her man.

According to this mystery woman, she had an adventurous night at Eko Hotel with the Nigerian musician and she wants her girlfriend-Tania Omotayo to know.

What a disrespect…

But would Tania Omotayo even think about leaving or evaluating this? We don’t think she will even attempt to discuss it with Wizkid for fear of losing him.

Check the email and photos the mystery woman sent…

It’s Happening on Saturday-18 October in Accra | Wizkid, 2face Idibia, Mafikizolo, 4×4, Edem, MzVee & Others on ONE BIG Stage- Hennessy Artistry Concert

Hennessy Artistry Concert

It’s definitely going to be a MEGA concert this Saturday, 18th October, 2014—as more than 5 top African musicians from Nigeria, South Africa and Ghana will mount one stage to thrill fans at the first Hennessy Artistry Concert in Ghana. You dare miss this once in a life time opportunity and you would have yourself to blame!

Any of these musicians-Wizkid, 2face, Mafikizolo, 4×4, Edem and MzVee can hold independent concerts and deliver bad-to-back electrifying performances but Hennessy has decided to pull some sort of a ‘clash of the best’ by putting them all on one stage for Ghanaian music lovers at the Accra International Conference.

Surely it must have cost Hennessy a fortune but as concertgoers, we don’t really care much about the cost—we are just excited about the opportunity to have these artistes rock our night.

And considering how much the tickets are going for, any of these artistes staging an individual concert would have charged the same—so this looks like buy one get 5 free for us, you wouldn’t find this anywhere.

From his 2006 hit song-African Queen to his 2014 releases, 2face will take patrons on a long but interesting musical journey, which has in many ways contributed to the recognition of African music at the international front.

And then, as we know, Wizkid never disappoints when on stage. With such exciting repertoire of hit songs, ranging from ‘Paurumo’ to ‘My Baby’, it’s just going to be a night to remember.

Wizkid and 2face have just performed together once— so it’s going to be very interesting to have the two of them on the same stage in Ghana, to perform their first collaborative track ‘Dance Go’.

Akon Responds To Allegation Of Discriminating Against DARK Skinned Models in Ghana

Akon

 

After Akon ‘s recent video shoot in Ghana with Nigeria’s Wizkid and Banky W, it emerged that the Senegalese born American based rapper joined hands with some modelling agencies to discriminate against dark skinned models who they had initially requested…

After the video shoot, some dark skinned models alleged that Akon and Wizkid requested through the various modelling agency that they do not want them (dark skinned models) anymore—-but wanted light skinned ones, preferably mixed race models.

The insult on the dark skinned models was aggravated by subsequent request that, if they know of any light skinned young girls, they should kindly supply their details or call them over…If you did not read our report on the issue, CLICK HERE to read it

A photog of celebrity blog-TMZ caught up with Akon who was rolling up to Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood to find out if the above really did happen and he said NO…

But then, what else do we expect him to say? We guess when the video for the song- Roll It comes out, we can make some deductions as to which models were used…

Did They Really Say That? Reports Say Akon & Wizkid SACKED Several Dark Skinned Models & Requested That Light Skinned Models Should Be Brought Instead | During Their Video Shoot In Ghana

Akon Video Shoot in Ghana

Akon and Wizkid were recently in Ghana to shoot a music video for their collabo- Roll It with Banky W, and most of us were glad that despite the many countries they could have gone to shoot the video, they settled for Ghana.

However, reports which seem to have been put out by some of the models who were supposed to be part of the video shoot as vixens have it that when they got to the location, the dark skinned models were turned away.

And that, Akon and Wizkid requested through the various modelling agency that they do not want the dark skinned models—-but wanted light skinned ones, preferably mixed race models.

The insult on the dark skinned models was aggravated by subsequent request that, if they know of any light skinned young girls, they should kindly supply their details or call them over…

This is not much of a big issue since we all have preference in life but what is the point in going to a country with majority of its people being dark to make such request in the face of the various dark skinned models you ‘wrongly’ requested?

Wizkid Promises An Exciting Performance At ‘Ghana Meets Naija’ On June 29

African’s biggest act now and Nigeria’s star boy, Wizkid has promised Ghanaians and several other nationals who will make their way to the Conference Centre in Accra for the third edition of the annual ‘Ghana Meets Naija’ musical concert slated for June 29 an exciting performance.

Speaking at the official launch of the event which seeks to foster friendship between the two West African giants music-wise, Wizkid born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun said over the past few years he had longed to perform on the show but due to his busy schedules he had to once opt out.

He said he has always been in talks with Bola Ray, the brain behind the concert and the CEO of Empire Entertainment, about performing at the show but other engagements had made it impossible for him. He said he was excited and happy that finally he will get the opportunity to “help his compatriots to record their first victory against their Ghanaians counterparts” come Saturday June 29.

Unlike what was seen from him at the just ended Vodafone Ghana Music Awards where he performed only two songs which didn’t go down well with his fans, at the ‘Ghana Meets Naija’, Wizkid who was a co-winner of BET’s Best Africa Act 2012 award will headline the concert. This means he will have more than enough time to perform all his hits songs including his smash hit ‘Back to the Matter’ which is currently getting serious rotation on radio in Ghana.

GhanaCelebrities.Com observed from his countenance that, he was ready to represent his country to the fullest as they seek to avenge the defeats his compatriots recorded in the two previous editions in 2011 and in 2012. He also appreciated and thanked his fans in Ghana.

Wizkid will not do the job alone; he will be supported by the new sensation Burna Boy and Afro-Pop/Afro-Beat superstar, Timaya.

Representing the home nation with the red, yellow, green with the black star would be African Dance Hall sensation Samini who will be gracing the stage with Wizkid to perform their hit ‘Time Bomb’.

Call him the Best Rapper Alive, Okyeame Kwame will also represent live to dish out fine tunes coupled with decent lyrics such as ‘Woara’, ‘Faithful’ and a couple of hits from his rich repertoire.

Ghana’s newly crown Artiste of the Year; R2Bees will be looking at impressing the large patrons expected at the event. Their stage performance has always been subjected to strong criticism due to their lack of coordination but the onus lies with them to disabuse the minds of their critics and explain why they won the biggest award at the VGMA.
