Award-winning Ghanaian dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale, has officially unveiled a brand-new management team to steer the affairs of his career moving forward.
The announcement was made today, Tuesday, July 22, 2025, via his official social media platforms.
Ghanaian comedian, OB Amponsah, has criticized gospel singer and television host Empress Gifty for failing to respond to a controversial comment made on live television.
His criticism comes after a recent episode of United Showbiz on UTV, where entertainment pundit Bullgod described Jesus as a “fool,” a remark that quickly triggered outrage across social media platforms.
OB Amponsah, reacting to the broadcast, expressed frustration at Empress Gifty’s silence during the segment. As both a gospel singer and host of the show, he argued, she had a moral obligation to challenge or condemn the statement, but chose not to.

“How can a gospel musician who is also a host of the show allow someone to insult the messiah back and forth?
“You could have gone on a strike until he rendered an apology. However, you didn’t do so. All you could do is to wear makeup and come sit on the show without doing anything,” he wrote in Twi in a Facebook post.
Ghanaian dancehall superstar Stonebwoy has shared personal insights into the often overlooked responsibilities that come with marriage, emphasizing that the true cost of being a husband stretches well beyond mere financial commitments.
In an exclusive interview with Joy Prime, the Into the Future hitmaker spoke candidly about the profound emotional, physical, and psychological investments required in sustaining a healthy marital relationship.
“Interestingly, marriage is expensive, and having a wife comes with its own costs,” Stonebwoy stated. “You have to invest time, which is incredibly valuable. You need to allocate resources, which are never cheap. You must give attention—and even attention comes at a price. These are things you simply cannot buy.”
The celebrated artist, known for his socially conscious lyrics and deep connection with fans, used the opportunity to shed light on the often-unspoken pressures men face within the institution of marriage. He described how societal norms consistently position men as primary providers, a role that, while embraced, carries significant emotional weight.
“As a man, I grew up in a household where I witnessed responsibility firsthand,” he noted. “I understand that societal norms expect men to be caretakers. While it is a role we accept, it’s certainly not easy—and it definitely isn’t cheap. The costs are real.”
Stonebwoy’s remarks resonated with many, particularly those navigating similar marital and societal expectations.
His openness adds another layer to the growing conversation around emotional labor in relationships and the importance of acknowledging the unseen efforts that go into maintaining a family.
Fans and followers have praised the musician not only for his artistic excellence but also for using his platform to address critical social issues with honesty and vulnerability.

Ghanaian media personality Gloria Akpene Nyarku, popularly known as MzGee, has candidly shared her emotional journey and the challenges she faced after stepping into the role formerly occupied by Nana Ama McBrown as host of United Showbiz.
Currently the host of Just Being Us on Akwaaba Magic, MzGee used her platform to inspire and uplift young journalists, encouraging them to stay focused and rise above criticism.
In a deeply personal Instagram post, she revealed the emotional toll and intense public scrutiny that followed her appointment to the show.
MzGee recalled a specific incident involving a call she made to Afia Achiaa Rakia, a presenter with Bryt TV.
During that segment, Kumawood actor Big Akwes participated in a light-hearted game where he was asked to choose which female actress he would marry or date.
While intended as harmless fun, the incident sparked discussions about entertainment journalism and its responsibilities.
However, the media storm MzGee faced after replacing McBrown proved to be a true test of her emotional strength.
“It was an emotional rollercoaster. I had to endure gossip and unfair criticism from people within the same industry,” she said.
Despite the backlash, MzGee found strength in the support she received from some of Ghana’s most respected female voices in media. She expressed deep appreciation to Nana Aba Anamoah, Deloris Frimpong Manso (Delay), and Gifty Anti for reaching out to her during that difficult time.
“These women lifted me when I was down. They called me, comforted me, and reminded me of my worth,” she noted.
In a heartfelt ten-minute video, MzGee further shared her intention to pay it forward.
She announced her desire to support a young female journalist who had recently come under public attack, stressing the need for solidarity among women in media.
Renowned media personality and entertainment critic, Ola Michael, has made a bold declaration, identifying President John Dramani Mahama as the sole political figure capable of reviving Ghana’s ailing movie industry.
Speaking passionately during the last edition of United Showbiz, Ola Michael stated that Mahama’s longstanding support for the creative arts sets him apart as the only leader with both the interest and track record to rescue the sector from total collapse.
“President Mahama is my singular hope for reviving the movie industry. If he fails to make a meaningful impact, I firmly believe that no one else can save it from the brink of collapse,” Ola asserted.
He lamented the declining state of Ghana’s once-thriving film industry and stressed the urgent need for strategic intervention.
According to him, successive governments have largely neglected the sector, but Mahama has demonstrated consistent commitment since his first term in office.
“This administration’s support is crucial for the survival of the industry. Without it, we risk losing everything. Mahama has consistently shown a commitment to the arts,” Ola added.
The entertainment critic called on stakeholders and policymakers to prioritise creative arts as a national development tool.
He noted that with proper investment and political will, the Ghanaian movie industry could once again flourish, creating jobs and promoting culture.
A viral video featuring the teenage daughter of convicted evangelist Nana Agradaa has stirred strong reactions online, particularly from Prophet Kumchacha.
On July 19, 2025, the young girl made headlines after a video surfaced on social media in which she pleaded with the court to pardon her mother, who is currently serving a 15-year prison sentence. In the emotional video, the teen expressed the deep emotional toll her mother’s absence has had on her life.
The video quickly ignited public debate, not only for the sentiment expressed but also for the decision to have a minor front such a sensitive appeal. One of the most vocal critics of the move was Prophet Kumchacha, who posted his reaction online a day later, on July 20.
In his response, Kumchacha labeled the incident as “dumb,” pointing fingers at Agradaa’s husband, Angel Asiamah, whom he suspects may have orchestrated the video.

“Asiamah, be sensible. There are a lot of people in Nsawam prison for stealing. Some are even there in jail for stealing a tuber of cassava. If you want public sympathy, all you need is a good lawyer,” Kumchacha stated.
He went on to condemn the use of the minor in such a public manner, warning of long-term consequences for the child’s well-being and reputation.
“Don’t you know you are destroying the small girl’s future? She is even a minor. Involving her in this issue can destroy her life because social media doesn’t forget,” the outspoken prophet further stated.

Ghanaian songstress Moliy has delivered a powerful response to online critics who mocked her physical appearance following her recent performance at the Party in the Park event in the United Kingdom.
The rising Afro-fusion star took the stage over the weekend, thrilling the crowd with her energetic set and vibrant stage presence.
However, instead of celebrating her performance and her international exposure, some social media users zeroed in on her body, particularly her midsection.
Several online commenters made disparaging remarks, with some referring to her “pot belly” and others urging her to hit the gym.
Her outfit was also a topic of ridicule, with detractors ignoring her vocal delivery and the significance of her presence at the high-profile event.
In a sharp and unapologetic response shared via her social media platforms, Moliy addressed the body-shaming head-on:
“Hope all of you spending your day talking about my body again got rent and due bills ready. We’re in the middle of the month. Just a reminder. Much luv.”
The statement quickly gained traction online, earning praise from fans and fellow artists who lauded her composure and confidence in the face of negativity.
The misunderstandings that is currently ongoing in the Kumawood movie industry between some directors and actors appear to have no end in sight.

Ghanaian actress, Gloria Sarfo, is speaking out once again, this time to set the record straight after facing criticism for comments she made about the stagnation of Ghana’s movie industry.
In a recent Instagram post, Sarfo had expressed frustration over what she described as the industry’s lack of progress and its failure to harness the talents of its actors. Her post sparked fierce debate across entertainment circles, with some industry insiders dismissing her remarks as attention-seeking.
In her initial post, Sarfo said the Ghanaian movie scene was wasting creative potential due to inactivity. The post quickly drew ire, with detractors accusing her of seeking clout and minimizing her own contributions to the industry’s growth.
As social and traditional media personalities weighed in, the conversation shifted from her message to personal attacks on her brand. But Sarfo wasn’t ready to back down. On July 20, she returned to Instagram to defend both her position and her integrity.
“God knows I didn’t post that for clout chasing!! God knows I didn’t intend to demean anyone or my country!! God knows that I didn’t post that, because I was just excited to be filming in Nigeria (because this is not my first time)!! God knows that I had good intentions with that post!! He knows that I wasn’t trying to be selfish!!” she wrote.

The actress stressed that her intentions had been misunderstood and insisted that her critics know she has always championed the growth of Ghana’s movie scene.
“Meanwhile, they also know that I am not boastful!! They know, that I have always fought and championed this course, even without them!! Yet, a few of those who are directly affected, came under my post to type HMMMMMMMM. Even the young ones I was intentionally fighting for, also came to express their ignorance and disrespect me!!” she added.
Sarfo did not hold back in calling out the pundits who, she claimed, chose to publicly ridicule her instead of addressing the core issue she raised.
“And pundits sit on national television/radio to insult and demean my personality and brand!! So, I’ll borrow their word, hmmmmmmmm & let’s all pretend that it is all rosy publicly, and cry privately!! Let’s continue to pretend like we don’t know the truth!! Yes, we have a perfect industry, one that is solid, no talent is being wasted, producers treat actors very well, and pay them good!! Ghanaian actors are the happiest actors in the world!! Ghanaian filmmakers produce 1000 movies every year!!”
Gloria Sarfo further declared her intention to stop advocating for the industry, at least for now, and focus on nurturing her own career.
“Until then, I wish everyone all the best. ‘Momma yEn nk) so aa, nnunu yEn ho, na yEn sere.’ Indeed, an industry not worth fighting for!! I rest my case!! Like my loved ones will say, Gloria focus on your brand. (I guess it’s about time!!) NB: this is not for pity,” she ended.
