Popular Ghanaian comic actor and social media sensation Asafo Powers, widely known for his famous Killa Ntua catchphrase, is getting ready to make another statement in the music industry with the release of his brand new song titled Ab33le.
The upcoming song features award-winning Ghanaian rapper and singer Amerado and was produced by talented music producer Shawaars.
The Head of Public Relations for Ghanaian musician Stonebwoy, Vida Adutwumwaa Boateng, has responded to the ongoing conversation surrounding the arrest of a member of Shatta Wale’s fanbase.
The incident involves a fan known as Web Kid, a supporter of Shatta Movement, who has recently been arrested. Following the development, some social media users speculated that Stonebwoy may have played a role in the arrest, especially after controversial posts about the artiste and his wife began circulating online.
Speaking to ZionFelix on the sidelines of the 27th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), Vida objected to the allegations linking Stonebwoy to the matter. She made it clear that such claims do not reflect reality.
She explained that Stonebwoy has no authority to make an arrest, stressing that his work is strictly musical and not legal enforcement. According to her, the arrest in question stemmed from a court directive tied to actions allegedly committed by Web Kid that breached the law.
Vida also pointed out that the fan has been repeatedly disrespecting several individuals online, including Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and other national figures, which she suggested should not be overlooked in the discussion.
She maintained that it is unfair to hold Stonebwoy responsible for the situation.
Responding to a question about a post by Shatta Wale suggesting he could also file a police report if a Stonebwoy supporter behaves similarly, Vida said the musician is free to take any legal steps he deems necessary, adding that criminal matters do not expire over time.

As the countdown begins toward the 27th Telecel Ghana Music Awards, Ghanaian singer Kuami Eugene has thrown his support behind Medikal in the highly anticipated Artiste of the Year race.
In an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM on May 7, 2026, Kuami Eugene said this year’s competition stands out as one of the toughest in recent memory, noting the strong presence of both Medikal and Wendy Shay across the music scene during the review period.
He pointed to the impact of their releases, naming Medikal’s “Shoulder” and Wendy Shay’s “Too Late” as two of the most influential songs of 2025 that dominated airwaves and conversations nationwide.
Still, Kuami Eugene believes the deciding factor could come down to Medikal’s relationship with the public and the strength of his fanbase.
“I think Medikal might win because besides the fact that he’s a good musician, he has the masses behind him. Wendy Shay has the masses as well, but the ambience of Medikal, the masses, it’s bigger. So, if he gets a successful year, it reflects in his work,” he said.

He further stressed that the outcome will ultimately rest in the hands of voters, urging music lovers to carefully consider the impact and consistency of each nominee before making their choice.
Discussions around the Artiste of the Year category have grown more intense in recent weeks, with opinions split among industry watchers over whether Medikal, Wendy Shay, or Black Sherif should take home the top prize.
This year’s Artiste of the Year race at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards also includes Stonebwoy, Sarkodie and Diana Hamilton, with the ceremony set for May 9, 2026.
Ghanaian singer Kuami Eugene says artistes in the country could be earning as much as $100,000 every month if they fully tap into the many revenue channels available in today’s music business.
During a discussion on Prime Time with George Quaye and Merqury Quaye, the award-winning musician reflected on his rise to fame, the realities of the industry, and some of the career choices that helped shape his success.
According to the “Monica” singer, the days when musicians depended only on album sales are long gone. He explained that modern artistes now have access to several lucrative streams of income beyond music releases alone.
“Revenue can be generated from naming rights, stage performances, endorsement deals, streaming platforms and other opportunities within the music business,” he explained.
The conversation also saw Kuami Eugene shower praise on fellow Ghanaian stars including Medikal, Sarkodie, Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy, applauding their creativity and staying power in the entertainment scene.
Speaking about collaborations, he described Medikal as one of the most naturally gifted artistes he has worked with in the studio.

“When you’re working with Medikal, it’s like he’s not there. He’s just on his phone while you’re building the beat. But when it’s his turn, he just freestyles and delivers a hit verse. I’ve never seen him write a song,” he said.
Kuami Eugene also revisited his departure from Lynx Entertainment, insisting there was no bad blood between him and the label after eight years together.
“I didn’t leave Lynx because we had an issue. I left because I had been there for eight good years,” he said. “I loved our journey and I learnt so much from Lynx Entertainment. I’m very glad I was the first artiste they organised a send-off party for.”
He disclosed that before signing with Lynx Entertainment, another label had presented him with a far bigger financial offer.
“I had another label that offered me GH¢100,000 at the time, which was like one billion in old currency. I could even have bought a house then,” he noted. “But Lynx didn’t come with money; they came with a dream. They had already built stars like MzVee, Asem, and OJ Blaq, so I chose fulfilment over money, and it turned out to be a beautiful journey.”
The singer said his time at Lynx reached a memorable milestone when he became the first artiste under the label to win Artiste of the Year at the Ghana Music Awards.
He further admitted that after dominating the Highlife Artiste of the Year category for years, he began feeling limited by the label attached to his sound.
“I was tired two years ago. Having won Highlife Artiste of the Year four times, I wanted someone else to win the category. I didn’t want to be boxed in as just a highlife artiste but rather known for making good music,” he said.
Kuami Eugene further revealed that during his days at Salvation Army Senior High School, some schoolmates nicknamed him after Sarkodie.
Charter House, organisers of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards 2026 have made their first major announcement ahead of this year’s ceremony.
In a flyer currently making rounds online, Charterhouse Productions, confirmed that media personalities Godwin Namboh and Regina Van Helvert will take charge of the red carpet duties for the 27th edition of the prestigious awards.
