“No Artist, Alive Or Dead Can Match The Influence Of Michael Jackson” – Ghanaian Photographer
Popular Ghanaian photographer and drone pilot, Seyram, has made an assertion on his official twitter page saying Michael Jackson's influence on the world can not be matched by any artist, whether dead or alive.
Michael Joseph Jackson was an American singer, composer, and dancer who lived from August 29, 1958, through June 25, 2009. He is known as the “King of Pop” and is considered one of the most influential cultural personalities of the twentieth century. His contributions to music, dance, and fashion, as well as his publicized personal life, established him a global icon in popular culture across a four-decade career. Jackson impacted musicians with many kinds of music; through stage and film performances, he popularized intricate dance techniques like the moonwalk, which he named after himself, and the robot. He holds the record for the most awards given to a single musician in history.
Jackson, the eighth child of the Jackson family, made his professional debut in 1964 as a member of the Jackson 5 alongside his elder brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon (later known as The Jacksons). While working at Motown Records, Jackson launched his solo career in 1971. With his album Off the Wall, released in 1979, he established himself as a solo artist. His music videos, like as “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” and “Thriller” from his 1982 album Thriller, are credited for breaking down racial barriers and converting the medium into an art form and advertising tool.
With videos for the albums Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory: Past, Present, and Future, Book I, he contributed to MTV's popularity and continued to innovate (1995). Thriller went on to become the best-selling album of all time, and Bad was the first album to deliver five number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
With over 400 million recordings sold globally, Michael Jackson is one of the best-selling musicians of all time.
He was the first performer to have a top-ten hit in the Billboard Hot 100 in five separate decades and had 13 Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles (more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 period).

“I’m Not Bothered About Shatta Wale Mocking My Disability; It Speaks A Lot About Him” – Stonebwoy (Video)
There's an old video on the internet with multiple award-winning reggae-dancehall kings Stonebwoy talking about the ongoing abuse he gets from fellow artist Shatta Wale.
About the incident that almost claimed the lives of him, his sister, and his father, Stonebwoy spoke candidly.
When he experienced the accident, Stonebwoy claims to have been 14 years old. He revealed they were getting ready to go on a trip overseas when a police cruiser slammed into them.
He told how his sister, who is currently overseas, is still experiencing pain from the accident and how it severely damaged his leg.
Stonebwoy said, “Shatta's actions only prove how naive he is,” when asked how he felt about Shatta Wale continuously making fun of him for his limp.
He continued by saying that Shatta Wale's acts just demonstrate his ignorance of the complexity of human nature and the hardships that certain individuals must face in order to thrive.
Shatta Wale has made it a point to criticize Stonebwoy and call him “apakye” for constantly limping over the last several days.

“I Spend 800 Cedis Daily Whenever I’m In Accra” – Kyekyeku Reveals
In anticipation of the release of his film “1957,” Ghanaian actor Kyekyeku has shared details about his everyday costs since moving to Accra.
He said that the expense of living in Accra is more than it was in Kumasi, where he used to live and where the cost of products and services is lower.
The actor revealed that he spends between GH¢700 and GH¢800 a day on food, petrol, and other costs when talking about how he manages the cost of living.
Though the expense of living in Accra is high, the city itself is lovely. While costs in Accra are slightly higher than in Kumasi, they are still reasonable. A GH¢20 item in Kumasi will cost GH¢25 in Accra. To some extent, I guess that's because it's the capital city.
“Considering fuel, food, and other small expenses, I could spend between GH¢700 and GH¢800 with my daily expenses,” Kyekyeku stated in an interview with Zionfelix.
He traveled from Kumasi to Accra lately in order to be ready for the debut of his movie, 1957, and to get to know the locals, he said in response to a question about why he did so.
