Ghanaian actress Akua Serwaa Blessings has finally addressed why she no longer appears in skits or movies with the talented actor and popular TikToker, Ben South.
In an exclusive interview with Zionfelix on the Uncut Show, the actress shared the story behind their once-blossoming collaboration and what led to its unexpected pause.
Celebrated Ghanaian business mogul Ibrahim Mahama made headlines on Monday, July 7, 2025, as he appeared in public with his daughter, Nafi Mahama, during the official signing ceremony for his company’s acquisition of the Black Volta Gold project.
The high-profile event which was held in Accra marked a significant milestone for Mahama’s firm, Engineers and Planners, which secured a $100 million facility from the ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development (EBID) to acquire the strategic mining asset.
Present at the signing were industry titans and political figures, including revered statesman and Mahama’s mentor, Sir Samuel Esson Jonah, CEO of Ghana Gold, Bod Sammy Gyamfi, Madam Angela List, Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame A-Plus, and Citi FM’s Bernard Avle.
The appearance of Ibrahim Mahama’s daughter, Nafi Mahama, added a personal touch to the landmark occasion.
Nafi wore a black custom-branded Dzata Cement Lacoste, at the event, stood out with her poise and quiet elegance.
She warmly embraced her father upon arrival and later mingled with key attendees, sharing smiles and taking part in a post-event photoshoot.
In a video shared by blogger GH Hyper, Nafi was seen sharing a heartfelt embrace with Sir Sam Jonah, whose speech at the ceremony praised the acquisition as “a long overdue breakthrough and a powerful symbol of what is possible when vision meets courage and ambition meets execution.”
Ghanaian music executive and entertainment critic Bullgod has delivered a scathing critique of rising rapper King Paluta, following a viral incident at the All-White Boat Party in London on June 29, 2025.
During his performance at the high-profile event, King Paluta abruptly paused his set to hurl insults at a female attendee in the crowd, reportedly frustrated by her lack of engagement.
The incident was captured on video and has since stirred widespread backlash online, with many questioning the artist’s composure and professionalism.
Reacting to the controversy during an appearance on United Television (UTV), Bullgod minced no words in his assessment of King Paluta’s behavior.
“That is why he was underground for 15 years, and he will go back for another 88 years,” Bullgod stated bluntly. “What he did was highly unprofessional and shows he still lacks the maturity to handle fame.”
Bullgod also used the opportunity to address what he described as a troubling trend in Ghana’s celebrity culture, where emerging talents are often overwhelmed by sudden stardom.
“From day one, we hype them up, place them in luxurious cars they’ve never driven before, and surround them with beautiful women and flashy clothes. They forget it’s all an illusion and start to believe they are actual stars,” he said.
While King Paluta has yet to issue a public apology or statement, the fallout from the incident continues to grow, with some fans calling for better grooming and mentorship for Ghanaian artistes abroad.
The All-White Boat Party was intended to be a celebration of Ghanaian music in the diaspora, but the disruption has raised fresh concerns about artist behavior and industry standards. Whether this episode will serve as a wake-up call for King Paluta remains to be seen
Award winning Ghanaian musician, King Paluta, has reacted to the calls from fans to apologize to the fans he insulted druing his perfomance in the UK a few months.
During the event, which took place on June 29, 2025, King Paluta paused his performance to unleash a barrage of insults aimed at a female guest in the audience, expressing his frustration over her apparent disinterest in his act.
This incident quickly went viral on social media, drawing significant attention and sparking debate about the artist’s professionalism.
Finally reacting to the calls from Ghanaians to apologise, King Paluta has urged his fans to be calm and give time some time.
This was revealed under a tweet announcing his forthcoming single titled “Between Me & God”
Less talk, more action.

Ghanaian music promoter and TikTok sensation Ananzo, real name Eugene Ananzo Junior is currently riding on a wave of good fortune following his recent viral cash blessing from Nigerian superstar Davido.
It will be recalled that earlier this year, Ananzo became a topic of discussion on social media after a video of him passionately singing and dancing to Davido’s song “With You” at a car wash in Ayinasi in the Nzema area took over TikTok.
Ghanaian singer-songwriter and producer, Kuami Eugene, has opened up about what he sees as a troubling culture of uncredited work and broken promises within the music industry. Despite penning hit songs for a number of artistes, he says recognition, or even fair compensation, is often withheld.
Speaking in an interview with 3FM, the former Lynx Entertainment signee didn’t mince words about the frustration of watching his contributions go unacknowledged after trusting that credit would eventually be given.
“Some songs that I wrote that we thought, you know what, they’ll do the needful later and it was in my face afterwards. Like so many songs that if I say I’ll make mention of, you would be like, okay, so they didn’t give you a cut for this. And if I have to take all of them on, it would look like he’s a bad one,” he said.
While Kuami Eugene has allowed many infractions to slide, he admitted to confronting certain artistes who took advantage. Among those he named was Mr Drew, whom he approached directly about the issue.

“Some of them, I took them on. Like Mr. Drew, I took him on and some of them, I figured, you know, just let it go. So, with all these ones or twos, I have, okay, now it’s no more fun game with all of us. Let’s work. If you look at this, of course, this is the hook. What is my cut? Put it here, put it here, my lawyer will give you a call,” he said, highlighting a shift in how he handles such matters.
Nonetheless, Kuami Eugene expressed hope that the industry is evolving, noting that newer artistes seem to have a firmer grasp on business ethics and proper conduct.
“So, I love the fact that this new generation of, I mean, new artistes understand this thing to the brim,” he further stated.

Gospel singer Noble Nketsiah has finally spoken out about persistent social media rumours questioning his sexuality. He dismissed them as baseless and rooted in malice.
During an interview on Okay FM with Nana Romeo, the popular gospel musician addressed the speculation, denying any affiliation with the LGBTQ+ community and expressing his surprise at the range of allegations made against him.
“I have heard a lot of allegations about me. Recently I heard people saying that I am gay. It even came on social media. It even got to a point where they said I was a womaniser. I was even asking myself which of the rumors was even true because I was surprised,” Nketsiah stated.
The ‘Makoma Ahye Ma’ singer further recounted a moment when someone confronted him in person with veiled threats, seemingly hoping for his downfall.

“I have been to a place where someone said to my face that I am behaving like I don’t have issues and if trouble comes my way, they will spread it and make fun of it,” he shared.
Despite the negativity, Nketsiah said he remains undeterred. In his view, the rumours are merely a reflection of envy and bitterness.
“I asked the person what he would get if I entered into trouble. I have however realized that such people are full of hatred. That also taught me to embrace myself in such a situation,” the gospel artiste explained.
Focusing instead on his music and faith, the gospel star said his only aim is to fulfil his God-given purpose.
“My prayer is that I will be able to make good use of the talent given to me by God,” he added.
Ghanaian dancehall superstar Shatta Wale has once again demonstrated his deep commitment to national pride and local football by performing entirely free of charge at the 2025 President’s Cup, held on Sunday, July 6, at the Accra Sports Stadium.
In a press statement issued by the Ministry of Sports and Recreation, the Ministry revealed that not only did Shatta Wale deliver the electrifying halftime performance at no cost, but he also bore the full expenses associated with the show.
These included costs for his dancers, stage design, rehearsals, wardrobe, and overall production.
“True to his promise to deliver an experience that extended beyond football, the Minister engaged Shatta Wale, who not only agreed to perform pro bono but personally covered all costs related to his performance,” the statement read.
Shatta Wale himself has since confirmed the news in a post on social media, where he wrote:
“Let’s bring the love of football back, and Shaxi fully sponsored my performance.”
Shaxi is Shatta Wale’s ride-hailing company, which he used as a vehicle for sponsorship on the day.
The announcement comes amid national praise for what has been described as a record-breaking President’s Cup.
The event, which commemorates Ghana’s sitting President, saw the Accra Sports Stadium filled, marking a major win for domestic football and fan engagement.
Ghanaian actor and comedian Richard Asante, widely known as Kalybos, has shared his perspective on the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) loss in the 2024 general elections. He said the defeat did not come as a surprise. Even though he’s a staunch supporter of the party, the entertainer believes the outcome was largely self-inflicted.
During a recent discussion on Showbiz A-Z with Kwame Dadzie, Kalybos stated that many Ghanaians saw the loss coming, especially as the NPP struggled to address mounting economic hardships during its final years in power.
“We all saw what the economic hardship was. I am a full party person but when it is A you need to say A. There was a problem. There was someone who would not listen,” he remarked.

The actor further cited both internal disarray within the party and the electorate’s pattern of political change as contributing factors. He explained that Ghana’s democratic cycle often swings in favor of a new administration every eight years, especially when the incumbent falls out of touch with the people.
“With our democratic system here, it looks like every eight years, the people will bring in a new government. And it depends on how peeved people are during your last term. And we can all attest to it. This is no party bit. It was in shambles.”
Kalybos continued by highlighting the party’s loss of direction: “It was in a mess, for a lot of things going bad. It was bound to happen, let me just put it that way, so they would sit down and think about all that has gone on. It got to a time they weren’t really for the people. That is where I think the problem came from. And now I think they are righting their wrongs and I think they will do better.”
In the midst of her mother’s legal woes and 15-year jail sentence, Rihanna, the daughter of controversial televangelist Nana Agradaa, has captured the hearts of many with a stirring gospel performance at the Heaven Way Champion International Ministries.
During Sunday’s service, Rihanna was allowed to minister to the congregation through song, and she did not disappoint.
With grace and confidence, she took the stage and delivered a heartfelt rendition of “Defe Defe,” the chart-topping gospel hit by Team Eternity Ghana.
Singing with a sweet yet commanding voice, Rihanna led the congregation in worship, accompanied by a live band and backing vocalists who joined in during the chorus and key sections of the song.
The emotional atmosphere in the church was unmistakable, as the performance visibly moved worshippers.
The video of the moment, which has since gone viral on social media, shows Rihanna standing at the pulpit, eyes closed in reverence, pouring her soul into every line of the song.
Her composure and vocal prowess drew admiration from viewers online, many of whom praised her for remaining strong and spiritually anchored during a turbulent period for her family.
The performance came just days after her mother, born Patricia Asiedua and popularly known as Nana Agradaa, was sentenced to 15 years in prison with hard labour over multiple counts of fraud.
The conviction has rocked her church and sparked national conversations about religious scams and accountability in Ghana’s faith-based institutions.
