Daddy Lumba’s One-Week Observation To Be Held At Legon Sports Stadium On August 30

The life and legacy of Ghanaian highlife musician Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, will be honoured with a one-week observation at the University of Ghana (Legon) Sports Stadium on Saturday, August 30, 2025.

This was confirmed in a post by DL FM.

Earlier, the Ekuona Royal Family of Nsuta, to which the late music legend belonged, made the announcement through their family head, the Abusuapanyin, during a press briefing that the event in Accra will give fans and sympathizers from across the country an opportunity to pay their respects before the final funeral rites in Kumasi.

The decision on the venues, the family revealed, was made after a formal visit to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, to inform him of the passing of his “royal son.”

“When we officially informed the Asantehene of the passing of Daddy Lumba, he reminded us that Daddy Lumba is a royal,” the Abusuapanyin said.

Following this, the family resolved that while the one-week observance could be hosted in Accra for accessibility, the final funeral rites must take place in Kumasi, the Ashanti regional capital. In line with royal tradition, the body will be presented to the Asantehene as part of the burial process.

The family also indicated that, as part of customary protocol, they will pay a visit to the Ga Mantse in Accra to formally inform him of Daddy Lumba’s passing and the scheduled funeral events.

This one-week gathering is expected to draw thousands of mourners, industry colleagues, and music lovers to celebrate the man whose songs became the soundtrack to generations of Ghanaian life.

We Will Need Transportation And Fuel For Prophecies To Reach The Presidency – Fire Oja Reacts (Video)

The leader of the Holiness of Christ Zion Ministry, Prophet Fire Oja, has openly challenged the government’s new policy requiring religious leaders to submit prophecies for official review. He insists that before such a directive can be enforced, the state should cover transportation expenses for prophets.

Speaking in an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, he stressed that many spiritual leaders lack the financial resources to travel to the Jubilee House to share their revelations in person.

“If the government says we should come to the Jubilee House with our prophecies, they should also give us car money and fuel. Not all of us can afford to travel there. If they want to hear it in person, they should take care of our transport,” he said.

His remarks follow a recent directive from the Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations, which calls on religious leaders nationwide to submit any prophecy or spiritual message of national importance for urgent evaluation.

Presidential Envoy Elvis Afriyie Ankrah explained that the policy aims to promote “responsibility, discernment, and proper stewardship over the nation’s destiny, particularly in these uncertain times.” The review will focus on prophecies concerning top political figures, governance issues, national security, and public stability.

“We are not trying to stop the work of God, but we believe prophecies must be handled with care so they do not cause unnecessary fear, panic, or instability,” Ankrah stated in an August 10, 2025, release.

In the aftermath of a helicopter crash that claimed the lives of government officials, military officers, and NDC executives, the envoy also urged churches and other faith institutions to intensify prayers for the nation’s leadership, state bodies, and grieving families.

“In moments like this, unity and prayer are more important than ever. We ask all faith leaders to stand with us for the peace and stability of Ghana,” he pleaded.

Medikal Claims His Hit “Shoulder” Saved Ghana’s Music Scene In 2025

Medikal is convinced his music has done more than just get people moving; he believes it’s keeping Ghana’s music scene alive in 2025.

The rapper claims his viral single “Shoulder,” featuring Shatta Wale and Beeztrap KOTM, has been the lifeline of the industry this year.

“Shoulder saved the Ghanaian music scene this year,” Medikal declared in an August 10, 2025, post on X.

In another post, he boasted about his versatility and staying power in the industry. “Mastering the art of dropping hits, staying consistent and dropping bars for the streets simultaneously is a whole different quest. Y’all don’t deserve me tbh.”

His remarks quickly set off debates online. While some fans agreed with his self-assessment, many argued the claim was an overstatement.

“Well, Shoulder has played its part but claiming it has saved Ghanaian music this year is a stretch,” one user replied.

Critics pointed to streaming charts, noting that Black Sherif’s “Iron Boy” tracks have largely dominated the year’s top spots. Others argued that Medikal seemed to be ignoring other breakout hits like Moliy’s global smash “Shake It to the Max.”

“Is Shake it to the Max a joke to you????” another user quipped.

Kwame Yeboah denies ever sacking Sarkodie from his studio

Ghanaian multi-instrumentalist and producer Kwame Yeboah has refuted claims that he once expelled rapper Sarkodie from his Mixstation studio.

Yeboah said rumours about him being overly strict in the studio have been exaggerated, insisting he has always maintained a good relationship with Sarkodie.

“Sarkodie is like a good friend. We still message, we still chat. I have heard stuff about people talking about Sarkodie and all that; I never sacked him,” Yeboah told Kwame Dadzie on Showbiz A-Z on Joy FM.

“Actually, it’s difficult people that have experienced the sacking, but because Sarkodie was around at the same time… and the thing is I don’t like talking too much.”

He admitted that he has on several occasions asked artistes to leave the studio if they arrived unprepared.

“A lot of people come to the studio and let’s say we have a rehearsal tomorrow and I give you a piece of music to learn. You come tomorrow and say ‘okay, I am coming to learn the music in this studio’. I’m like, you didn’t learn the music, then go back home and learn it,” he explained.
Yeboah said his insistence on professionalism has earned him a reputation for being strict, but he sees nothing wrong with it.

“I got a bad name for that. I love it and I don’t even care about that. Bro, if I was to start saying because they are going to feel bad let’s just not practise, where would we be right now?” he asked.

Okomfour Kwadee Makes Public Comeback, Warns Youth Against Deadly Drug “Red”

After years away from the limelight battling mental illness, celebrated Ghanaian Hiplife musician, Okomfour Kwadee, has made a remarkable public return.

This time, the music icon appears stable, composed, and passionate about a new mission which is aimed at saving the youth from drug abuse.

In an interview with Kwaku Manu, the ‘Atta Adwoa’ hitmaker issued a strong caution against the abuse of opioids, particularly a highly addictive pill known on the streets as “Red” or “225.”

“Doctors have spoken against the intake of Red because if you take it, you can die from it. We have been in the system for some time now, and there is nothing that I haven’t done. There is no strength greater than the one you have. The Red, tramadol, and other stimulants are of no benefit,” Kwadee warned.

The veteran artiste, known for his lyrical storytelling, admitted to experimenting with various stimulants in the past, a habit that took a heavy toll on his health. He urged young people to focus on productive activities and avoid harmful substances that could destroy their lives.

Kwadee also addressed fellow musicians, advising them to steer clear of marijuana and other drugs, and to resist blindly imitating foreign entertainment cultures.

“The drugs are plenty in the system, but the common one right now is 225 or Red. Foreign influence is also part, because most of these musicians are trying to copy them blindly. These days, the whole thing has become like a fashion; they should note that they can’t smoke forever because it’s not helpful,” he added.

Hon. A Plus reacts to Prophet Roja’s doom prophecy about him

Following his widely discussed prophecy about Dr. Omane Boamah, Prophet Roja has found himself at the centre of another public controversy after one of his previous prophecies resurfaced.

In an earlier video, the self-styled “Dangerous Prophet” claimed to have foreseen a deadly accident involving the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, A Plus.

According to him, the accident would occur around Kasoa and could be fatal unless prayers were offered to avert it.

However, A Plus responded sharply to the prophecy in a Facebook post on Monday, August 11.

In a fiery clapback, the outspoken MP claimed God had also revealed something troubling about Prophet Roja’s future.

“Last night God revealed to me that some boys will physically attack the so-called ‘Prophet’ Roja very soon. Let’s pray for him!” A Plus wrote, adding a sarcastic twist to the exchange.

The back-and-forth has since stirred heated debate on social media, with some calling for restraint in public prophecies involving individuals, while others see the exchange as part of Ghana’s growing culture of sensational spiritual predictions.
