Kelvyn Boy Is Not the originator of Afrobeat, we started Afrobeat In Ghana – Gallaxy
Ghanaian music duo, Gallaxy has said that they are the originator of Afrobeat in Ghana.
Somewhere 2017, Kelvyn Boy signed a record deal with Stonebwoy's Burniton Music Group and, after releasing a handful of singles, won the Vodafone Ghana Music Award for unsung artiste of the year in 2018.
The following summer, he released his debut EP, T.I.M.E., with the agenda of introducing Ghana to his fusion of Afrobeat, Afro-pop, reggae and dancehall. “I was the one campaigning for Afrobeat, so that EP was to give people time for [the genre] to grow on them,” he says. “To give them time to understand that Ghanaians can do Afrobeat really proper. If I was from Nigeria, it wasn't going to be hard like that.”
Perhaps it's at the back of the above-mentioned scenario that bunch of Ghanaians keep citing Kelvyn Boy as the originator of Afrobeat. However, music group Gallaxy think otherwise.
According to music group Gallaxy in an interview with Kumi Kasa the in the studios of Koforidua-based ABEN 94.9 FM, they started anything Afrobeat in Ghana and not Kelvyn Boy formerly of Stonebwoy's Burniton Music Group fame.
In the voice of Gallaxy, “We made Afrobeat popular in Ghana,when we came it was only R2bees who were doing a little bit of Afro in their songs”.

Abena Korkor Attacks Mp (Video)
The Ningo Prampram Member of Parliament, Sam George, has come under fire from socialite Abena Korkor for not fixing the roads in his district.
Korkor posted a video of her community's terribly maintained roads that was shot in Tema Community 25 after recent rains.
She claims that Uber drivers won't come to the neighborhood to give rides because of how terrible the roads are.
She added that, as a result, she must travel in a motor vehicle to do all of her errands. As Korkor hauled local MP Sam George, she did not hold back.
She also had some harsh words to say about Stephanie Karikari, the former Miss Ghana, and former President Mahama, among many others.

“What If The ‘Big Mouth Association” Too Comes Out Angry?” – Shatta Wale Asks Ghana Society Of The Physically Disabled
After making fun of Stonebwoy's disabilities, Ghanaian reggae dancehall musician Shatta Wale has adamantly refused to apologize to the Ghana Society of Physically Disabled (GSPD).
After Wale made fun of Stonebwoy at the just-ended Salafest, the GSPD urged the singer to recant his remarks and issue an apology.
However, Shatta Wale disregarded society's plea in a widely shared video response.
The “On God” hitmaker instead questioned society's reasoning for the demand and railed against it.
The outspoken performer said, “You can't create a problem for me; I am a problem myself.” “Everything we are doing is creating an association and paying dues; there is even an unemployed people's association.”
