Most Of Past Comedians Sold Themselves Cheaply – OB Amponsah Claims
OB Amponsah, a famous Ghanaian comedian, has said that some of his forefathers had very low expectations when it came to making money from their art.
Such individuals, he claims, have made it impossible for today’s acts to be well-paid by the major brands that typically book them for services.
“A few of our forefathers sold themselves short. I’m not going to list those names. When a corporation approaches either of us, the young comedians, for an offer, and we reveal our bid, they equate it to what our predecessors paid and tell us to lower it. They have set very low expectations, and despite our best attempts, we are unable to meet them. However, I believe we have been able to address this. In an interview with Zionfelix, he said, “Few brands are now agreeing to pay us extra, and that’s good news.”
OB, on the other hand, claimed that he acknowledges the motivations for the pioneer comedians’ acts to some degree, adding that:
“For people like David Oscar, Foster Romanus, and others, the fight was primarily about getting a foothold in the Ghanaian comedy industry, not about money. They laid the groundwork for us. We took over from there, and now we’re trying to turn it into a business.”
When asked if comedy is profitable in Ghana, he replied:
“There’s interest in it,” says the OB Amponsah. Don’t be fooled by the large sums of money. I would have made more money by now if it hadn’t been for the COVID-19.”

“I Accepted A Bribe To Keep Mute After Seeing A Pastor Bonk A Colleague’s Wife In His Office” – Gospel Singer, Erico
Famous for competing in the Mentor competition, gospel artist Eric Oduro has shared how he exposed a senior pastor who was having an extramarital affair with a colleague's wife.
In his account of the incident on Adom TV's Okukuseku with Emelia Brobbey, Erico said that he had been hired to serve at a church in Nungua when the incident occurred.
It was his responsibility, he said, to oversee a spirit-filled ministry that would bring in the senior pastor to deliver a sermon to the congregation.
He stated he had to reroute his route and return to the church after doing his work and leaving the property because he had forgotten his glasses in the pastor's office.
Upon barging into the senior pastor's office, he said the scene that unfolded before him was so shocking that, to date, he occasionally gets flashbacks.
Erico recounted seeing the pastor pants down while banging the junior pastor's wife, who doubles as the church's secretary, on his desk.
As he snatched his spectacles and made attempts to quietly walk out, he said the pastor pleaded with him not to create a scene as church service was still ongoing.
In exchange for his silence, Erico claims the pastor offered him a substantial bribe, which he accepted.

“I Won’t Advice Myself To Date An Industry Person” – Gyakie
Ghanaian artist Gyakie has opened up about her misgivings about dating a man who works in the music or creative arts fields.
Although love is undoubtedly lovely, Gyakie stated in a recent interview with 3FM that romantic connections with individuals in your career could be challenging.
She would not be dating anyone in the industry for the time being, even if she accepted that love is erratic.
If there's another version of myself, I won't counsel myself to do that. As it might be quite risky, I wouldn't suggest doing that.
“Love is a beautiful thing. I wouldn't say it's wrong, but at the same time, right now, I wouldn't advise myself to be with an industry person,” Gyakie said.

After Legendary Paa Tee and Adjetey Sowah's era, I played the biggest role in giving the dance industry in Ghana a face in modern day Entertainment. The evidence is there. The number of No.1 songs my dance has influenced…
