Akosua Agyapong Renews Criticism Of GHAMRO, Demands Accountability

Veteran Ghanaian musician, Akosua Agyapong, has once again taken aim at the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO), warning its leaders over alleged financial mismanagement.

Speaking in an interview with Nana Romeo on Accra FM, the outspoken singer accused some officials of embezzling funds. She stressed that the reported misuse of money at GHAMRO cannot go unpunished. “Those who are involved will vomit the money,” she declared.

Agyapong further questioned the commitment of Ghana’s copyright bodies, arguing that they are failing the very artistes they are supposed to protect. According to her, these institutions must raise their standards, work more diligently, and ensure that musicians receive what is rightfully due them.

For decades, she has used her platform not only to perform but also to advocate for accountability in Ghana’s music industry. Her latest outburst underscores the frustration of many artistes who continue to question whether the structures in place truly serve their interests.

I Believe Being A Person With Dwarfism Has Been A Blessing In Disguise – Shatta Bandle

Ghanaian social media personality Shatta Bandle says what many view as his limitation has in fact been the key to his fame and fortune.

During a discussion on The Real Talk Podcast with Elizabeth Essuman, the diminutive entertainer reflected on how his stature turned into an unexpected advantage, propelling him into the limelight.

“I believe being a person with dwarfism has been a blessing in disguise. It has taught me to be resilient, adaptable, and to think outside the box. My condition has also given me a unique perspective on life, which I believe has contributed to my success,” he shared.

Far from seeing his condition as a burden, Shatta Bandle says it is what grounds his gratitude. “I am always grateful to God for my height, well-being and so much more. Being a dwarf is not a curse; rather it’s a blessing because I am in a better space loved by my family, friends and fans,” he posited.

Known offstage as Firdaus Iddrisu, the social media star first gained attention after boldly claiming to be wealthier than Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote. That outrageous declaration launched him into a whirlwind of radio and TV appearances, music video cameos, and viral recognition in both Ghana and Nigeria.

He told the podcast audience that his confidence, rather than his size, is what draws people to him. Dwarfism, medically referred to as restricted growth, is typically defined as an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches (147 cm) or below, resulting from genetic or medical factors that affect bone and cartilage development.

Despite public perceptions, Shatta Bandle insists his life is filled with joy. “The second record that he released, he made me to go and listen to it and I was very happy” he said.

He also used the conversation to remind listeners about the importance of financial discipline. “I’m always grateful for what life has offered me. There are people who see me and think I’m sad because of my height nut how I can be sad when I’m the happies person earth,” Bandle reportedly stated.

VIDEO: Former Talented Kidz Winner Tutulapato Spotted Selling Coconuts

2013 TV3 Talented Kidz winner Tutulapato has made headlines after a viral video allegedly showed him selling coconuts (locally known as kube) on the street.

The video, shared by Ghanaian YouTuber De God Son TV, captured a heated exchange between a man and the coconut seller, whom he identified as Tutulapato.

In the footage, the young rapper — now all grown up — appeared visibly agitated and denied being the former reality show star.

Tutulapato insisted the individuals filming should stop recording him and moved towards the cameraman in an attempt to halt the video.

Alexis De God Son, in discussing the video on his YouTube channel, reflected on Tutulapato’s journey, questioning what might have led the once-promising rap sensation to such a situation, despite the fame and recognition he gained from winning Talented Kidz in 2013.

The video has since stirred mixed reactions on social media, with many expressing concern about the struggles young talents face in sustaining their careers after early stardom.

Others have also called for support systems to help child stars transition smoothly into adulthood and maintain their craft.

He asserted that Wale has been relevant in the Ghanaian entertainment industry, with his unpredictable behaviour being part of what maintains his relevance.

This Is Why Cina Soul Doesn’t Sing In Church Anymore

Cina Soul may have discovered her voice in the church choir as a child, but today she deliberately avoids singing during church services.

The singer says her decision is not about declining invitations, because those come often, but rather a personal spiritual conviction.

Speaking in an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, she explained that nearly every congregation she has visited has urged her to sing. Still, she has consistently declined.

“I don’t sing in church and it’s not because I have not been asked to sing. Every church I go or every church family I make, they want me to sing in church but I’d rather not for spiritual reasons. Yeah, personal spiritual reasons.

“Even when I was younger, I was in the choir and all that. Yes, but it’s not about it not going well. No, it’s just a personal spiritual reason,” she explained.

Cina Soul noted that her reluctance is not tied to negative experiences in her past. Instead, it reflects a spiritual choice she prefers to keep private.

Asked whether she considers herself a secular or gospel act, the singer rejected both labels. For her, music is a vessel to communicate whatever message God places in her heart—whether that’s love, faith, or life’s struggles.

“Whatever message that comes to me…because my album, I speak about God in it. I speak about love, I speak about life, about struggle. So, me personally, I just listen to what God gives me. I have songs that are gospel that I know I have not put them out. I can write everything that comes to me,” she shared.

Though she admits to having gospel songs written, they remain unreleased, waiting for the right moment.

MC Yaa Yeboah takes a deep swipe at Shatta Wale over EOCO invite

Media personality, MC Yaa Yeboah, has taken a subtle jab at dancehall artiste Shatta Wale following his recent invitation by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

In a post shared on X formerly Twitter, MC Yaa Yeboah criticized the musician and others in the entertainment industry who, according to her, often downplay the importance of education.

According to her, she has always wondered why some Ghanaian musicians mount big platforms only to “rubbish education,” which she believes plays a crucial role in shaping the mind and building society.


She continued that many artistes publicly act as though schooling is irrelevant, yet when faced with legal or professional challenges, they rely on educated professionals to defend them.

She used Shatta Wale’s EOCO case as an example of why Education is important.

She tweeted;

“Funny how some of your fav artists can stand on stage and rubbish school, acting like education doesn’t matter. Yet, when EOCO picked you up, the first thing you said was, ‘I’m waiting for my lawyer before I speak,’” she wrote.
