“There’s Nothing Wrong If Ghanaian Musicians Copy Nigerian Musicians; They Also Used To Copy Us Back Then” – Reggie Rockstone
As Hiplife grandpapa, Reggie Rockstone has stated that there's nothing wrong with Ghanaian musicians sounding eerily similar to their Nigerian colleagues, as has been the case recently.
In a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz, Reggie, who claims to be the creator of Hiplife (the fusion of indigenous rhythms that is Highlife and Hip-hop), stated in a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz that there's nothing wrong with artists sampling beats or sounding like Nigerians because they were the ones who first coyed out the style of music.
According to Reggie,
Personally, I've had folks contact me behind the scenes regarding this subject, but what is there to be concerned about? I don't believe what these young lads are doing is unique to the United States.
Nigerians sampled our rhythms during the heyday of hip-hop, and even more recently, when Azonto was the rage, it swept Nigeria, Africa, and beyond. So what's the big deal if our lads and girls sample their tracks and imitate their styles?
There's nothing wrong with hopping on the bandwagon if that's what's popular, as long as you're talented. Fela Kuti, the man credited with inventing Afrobeats, was heavily influenced by Ghanaian music, particularly Highlife.
When Ghana takes something from Nigeria, however, it inevitably becomes a rivalry or competition. These grievances and pointless matches make Ghanaians appear petty and envious of Nigerians, which is not the case.
According to Reggie Rockstone, Nigerians were also all over the place, since they were more patriotic towards a cause than Ghanaians.
Regardless of that, he continued, “we should perceive this action as an African projection clothed in togetherness, as Dr. Kwame Nkrumah envisioned.”

“All Sam George Know Is To Sit on Radio And Rant, Look At Our Roads” – Abena Korkor Attacks Mp (Video)
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.”

In an interview with Angel FM, well-known Kumawood actor Oboy Siki praised his colleague Kwaku Manu for his public persona despite his affluence.
He said that Manu is someone who worked hard to get his wealth in the entertainment sector and does not show it off in public as some do.
He said that Kwaku Manu, the actor, had constructed an opulent home in East Legon and added that there were other things he had done behind the scenes that were not made public.
“A person such as Kwaku Manu presents himself as impoverished, but in reality, he is not; he just chooses not to show it off. Even if he has a home in East Legon and all, he does not lead an opulent life. I don't give a damn about what he thinks; I'm just telling the truth,” he remarked.
Actor Kwaku Manu, who is highly recognized in the nation, currently hosts a show on which he conducts interviews with celebrities, which he shares on many social media networks.
