Captain Planet Backs GH¢1 Fuel Levy, Tells Ghanaians To Prioritize Progress Over Politics

0

Captain Planet, a former member of the defunct hiplife group 4×4, is voicing strong support for the newly implemented GH¢1 fuel levy introduced by the current government led by President John Mahama.

He emphasised national development over political loyalty.

Though previously a vocal supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Nana Akufo-Addo, the musician took to social media platform X to declare his willingness to pay the surcharge on petroleum products if it guarantees stable electricity and a stronger economy.

“I paid all these taxes on a single product for the NPP government, so how much is GH¢1 to help me enjoy stable electricity? Put politics aside, let’s build the nation. Me I say go pay, what be your problem?” he wrote.

According to Captain Planet, partisan debates should not overshadow practical policies that serve the country’s long-term interests. He urged Ghanaians to view the levy through the lens of nation-building rather than political rivalry.

“I promise to pay the 1 cedi fuel levy so I can enjoy my stable electricity. We’re building a nation, not a political party. All hands on deck,” he said.

The artist further reminded the public that during the NPP’s tenure, citizens paid similar levies without protest, and that consistency should apply regardless of which party is in power.

“The same way we paid all those levies to the NPP government, we should be able to pay for the NDC government too for a better Ghana,” Planet further stated.

Actor, Kwaku Manu has responded to controversial US-based social media commentator Twene Jonas over his harsh remarks about him.

In an exclusive interview with blogger De Godson TV, Kwaku Manu recalled how he wanted to hold an interview session with Jonas when he started sharing political commentaries on social media.

He noted that there were talks between him and Twene Jonas’s manager.

However, some people advised them to reject his offer to save the social media personality’s career from ending prematurely due to their fear about his line of questioning.

Kwaku Manu further stated that the socialite recently secured his apartment despite claiming to be wealthy over the years

He said: “I wanted to interview Twene Jonas when he started his thing. Some people in the US have told him that his career will end. I spoke to Twene Jonas’s manager about interviewing him, but they told him that if he allowed me to interview him, his career would be over.”

“He always brags that he has money and properties, but he only started renting his own apartment recently. Jonas just started renting a two-bedroom apartment. You can live with someone abroad or even share a room. I am not saying he sleeps on the streets.”

‘Only two rappers in Africa , me and nobody’ – M.anifest brags

Acclaimed Ghanaian rapper M.anifest has sparked a fresh wave of conversation in the African music scene after confidently proclaiming himself as the continent’s premier rapper during a recent interview on Capital XTRA in London.

In a segment that quickly went viral, the “God MC” hitmaker was asked to comment on Africa’s hip-hop landscape.

With a smirk and signature composure, M.anifest stated;
“Only two rappers in Africa; me and nobody in particular.”

The declaration, laced with classic hip-hop bravado, has triggered a storm of reactions online.

While some fans applauded the confidence as a hallmark of elite artistry, others debated whether the statement was justified or dismissive of Africa’s diverse rap talents.

The comment comes on the heels of rising global recognition for M.anifest.

Just recently, The Guardian lauded him as “Africa’s foremost rapper” in its 2025 global music review.

The British publication also praised his album The Gamble as “a masterclass in pan-African storytelling through rap,” cementing his influence not just in Ghana but across the continent and beyond.

Known for his intellectual depth, lyrical precision, and effortless fusion of Afrocentric themes with global hip-hop styles, M.anifest has spent over a decade building a reputation as one of Africa’s most respected voices in rap.

His ability to weave traditional sounds into contemporary rap continues to set him apart as a cultural bridge between generations and geographies.

As the debate rages on, one thing is certain: M.anifest’s latest statement is not just a bold claim it’s a challenge to the continent’s rap community to elevate the game.

Nana Agradaa Flaunts $4,000 Hair, Declares Herself a Wealthy Woman of God

Controversial televangelist and self-styled woman of God, Nana Agradaa also known as Evangelist Tupac has once again stirred online reactions after boldly flaunting her wealth in a self-recorded viral video.

In the clip making rounds on social media, the former fetish priestess turned preacher confidently declared that she is not only “naturally anointed” but also “undeniably rich.”

The boastful display has drawn mixed reactions online. While her supporters praise her transformation and prosperity as a “sign of divine favour,” others question the optics of such luxury amid economic challenges faced by many Ghanaians.

Nana Agradaa, known for her larger-than-life personality and controversial past, continues to command attention with her unfiltered persona and extravagant lifestyle.

Her latest video is yet another testament to how she blends religious branding with a bold display of wealth.

Kumchacha Urges Churches To End Bias Against Secular Artistes

0

Prophet Kumchacha has waded into the ongoing debate over the place of secular music in Christian spaces, urging churches to rethink what he sees as unfair discrimination against musicians who don’t sing gospel.

Speaking in an interview on Okay FM, the outspoken preacher, known privately as Nicholas Osei, argued that secular songs are not automatically “worldly,” stressing that many of them carry strong moral and inspirational messages.

“We are all in this world. But what the Bible meant by ‘worldly’ is ‘senseless’ music that encourages immorality,” he explained.

Kumchacha called for nuance in how churches judge music, pointing out that the biblical meaning of “worldly” refers to songs that glorify vices such as fornication, drug use, and violence, not all non-gospel content.

Citing examples, he praised veteran highlife stars like Amakye Dede and KK Kabobo, commending the substance and wisdom in their lyrics.

“Their music is as good as gospel songs because it inspires and educates. We shouldn’t reject them,” he said.

Kumchacha also criticised churches for what he sees as selective acceptance, claiming some secular artistes are welcomed while others are dismissed simply due to perception.

“Because you believe someone sings secular songs, you tag them as ‘worldly’ and reject them. That’s wrong,” he added.

His remarks come at a time when the Ghanaian Christian community continues to grapple with the role of secular artistes in church spaces and whether collaborations between gospel and non-gospel musicians should be encouraged or condemned.

Watch his statement below.

Popular Ghanaian music producer Mix Master Garzy says his presence can be felt across generations of Ghanaian music, not just through his beats, but through his collaborations with both legends and rising stars.

“Yeah, it go fit you enter that side,” he said when asked if his production credits could run into the thousands.

“I’m one of the producers that have worked with most of our artistes here,” he shared, emphasizing his wide-ranging network.

Though often linked to the BHIM Nation camp, Garzy said his loyalty lies with the music itself, not a particular brand or label.

“I try to work with everybody… Even though you might feel I’m more with this camp. I have a lot of upcoming artistes that I’ve worked with and till now, I still do that,” he explained.

His collaborations span the old school and new wave alike—from pioneers like Tinny, Edem, and FBS to emerging voices shaping the current soundscape.

“I always work with everybody. I play with everybody. So, getting into the olden days, like from the Tinny, Edem, FBS, all of those people I’ve worked with them. So, when we go to the old catalogue, I’m there. When you come to the new school too, I’m there,” Garzy added.

“I Just Wanted To Eat” – Amerado Admits Music Was Never A Passion

0

Ghanaian rapper Amerado has made a candid confession about his journey into music, revealing that his entry into the industry was driven not by passion, but by the harsh need to survive.

In an interview on Daybreak Hitz with DJ Slim, the ‘Abronoma’ composer opened up about the disillusionment that often shadows his career.

“The main reason I got into music was to survive—I just wanted to eat,” he admitted. “Most of the time, I don’t even enjoy being an artiste.”

For Amerado, the spotlight comes with burdens. He pointed to a lack of personal freedom and constant societal expectations as major factors that drain the joy from his profession.

“I feel restricted,” he said. “Whenever you’re in public, especially in traffic, you’re expected to hand out money to fans.”

The pressure, he noted, isn’t just about public generosity—it extends to the relentless effort required to maintain an image and meet fan expectations.

“The maintenance no be easy,” he added, underscoring the emotional and financial demands that come with the territory.

Despite his reservations, Amerado admitted there’s still one aspect of his career that brings genuine fulfillment: performing.

On stage, he finds rare moments of connection and purpose. It’s where he sees the real impact of his music and feels most alive in his craft.

When asked about life outside music, Amerado shared that football might have been his path if the mic hadn’t called first.

I Have Never Been Single – Akuapem Poloo Claims

0

Ghanaian actress and socialite Akuapem Poloo has never been single, and she doesn’t plan on forcing marriage into the equation just because society expects it.

In a revealing interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, Poloo, born Rosemond Alade Brown, spoke candidly about her relationship philosophy, personal growth, and why dating, not marriage, gives her joy.

“I’ve never been single in my life. The moment there’s a breakup, I’m already with someone else,” she admitted.

According to Poloo, she has been in about seven relationships over the years, with her longest lasting eight years. While she is currently with a partner and has welcomed a new baby girl, her second child, she’s quick to note that her love life isn’t moving according to traditional scripts.

“Dating is sweeter than marriage. I’m not saying marriage is bad, but I prefer dating. Let’s stay together like a married couple, without the stress of actually getting married.”

For Poloo, dating brings vitality and emotional spark, whereas marriage often introduces pressure and stagnation.

“In dating, there’s excitement, there’s competition. But once that ring goes on your finger, it brings stress. Things change, people become complacent.”

She also pointed to deeper societal implications, particularly for women, when marriages fail. Divorce, she said, carries a heavier toll for women, both emotionally and socially.

“This is why many women don’t leave their husbands even when they’re being abused. Men move on easily, but women are expected to wait for someone who will accept their past.”

Despite her skepticism, Poloo is not closed to the idea of marriage entirely. She disclosed that her partner, the father of her baby girl, is currently working abroad, potentially to finance a wedding in the future.

“He left to work because wedding takes money. Plans are underway, but it will only happen when he’s ready.”

Still, she’s clear that marriage, if it happens, will be a spiritual decision, not a societal obligation.

“I pray Allah blesses us with a family,” she said. “But I won’t be surprised if I never marry. I’m okay with that.”

Poloo further revealed that her mother has recently converted to Islam, just as she did three years ago. Her mother now goes by the name Aishatu.

As for her own journey, she credits her evolving lifestyle to a mix of personal maturity and her partner’s influence.

“I’m under control now,” Akuapem Poloo said with a laugh. “Something is controlling me.”
