New all grown up photos of Yvonne Nelson and her beautiful daughter warms hearts

Award-winning Ghanaian actress and film producer Yvonne Nelson has captured the hearts of fans after a rare public appearance with her daughter, Ryn Roberts.

A recent viral photo shows the mother-daughter duo spending quiet, quality time together in a luxurious room believed to be outside Ghana.

In the candid shot, Yvonne and her daughter are seen engrossed in watching something on a tablet, standing side by side.

The photo has generated buzz online, with many fans marveling at how grown up Ryn looks, and praising the actress for how well she has raised her child away from the constant glare of public scrutiny.

The sighting marks a notable moment, as Ryn Roberts has largely remained out of the public eye since her birth in 2017.

Yvonne Nelson has made it a point to shield her daughter from the spotlight, only occasionally sharing glimpses of her life as a mother.

Ryn was born on October 29, 2017, to Yvonne Nelson and British photographer Jamie Roberts. The actress confirmed her daughter’s birth with a graceful cover on WOW Magazine, after keeping her pregnancy a secret amid swirling rumours.

Yvonne Nelson, who also owns the Yvonne Nelson International School, has long advocated for privacy and protection when it comes to her family life.

Her recent post has been met with admiration from fans and fellow celebrities who continue to support her parenting choices.

Shatta Wale Claims To Have Helped Curb Crime Among Ghanaian Youths

Ghanaian dancehall star, Shatta Wale, has made bold claims about his influence on Ghana’s youth, asserting that he has played a major role in reducing crime in the country.

In a passionate Facebook post, the self-acclaimed “Dancehall King” argued that his mentorship and music have inspired many young people to abandon criminal paths and strive for better lives.

“If it wasn’t for Shatta Wale, the crime rate in Ghana would be out of control,” the outspoken artiste wrote, crediting his transformation to the guidance of his “Godfathers” and the sacrifices he has made throughout his career.

According to Shatta Wale, these efforts have served as a beacon for the youth, showing them that success is attainable without resorting to crime.

In a striking comparison, the award-winning musician likened his work to that of Ghana’s law enforcement, declaring: “We don’t support crime; we fight and eliminate it just like the Police do.”

Shatta Wale, known for his fiery personality and controversial statements, used the post to address his critics, claiming that many of them misinterpret his message.

“Many of you keep missing the point when Shatta speaks, and that’s because you’ve been in the dark for too long, lol,” he wrote.

While his comments have sparked debate online, some supporters agree with his sentiment, citing the artiste’s massive following and ability to connect with street youth as proof of his social influence.

Others, however, argue that such claims are exaggerated and that issues of crime require systemic solutions beyond celebrity influence.

This is not the first time Shatta Wale has positioned himself as a transformative figure in Ghanaian society.

Over the years, he has consistently maintained that his controversial brand serves a greater purpose—to uplift and empower the marginalized.

Masked Men Reportedly Disrupt The Shooting Of Lilwin’s ‘Ibrahim Traoré’ Movie (Video)

Ghanaian actor and filmmaker Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin, has shared a distressing account of an unexpected attack that disrupted the production of his upcoming movie Ibrahim Traoré.

In a video sighted by Zionfelix.net, the actor revealed that a group of masked men stormed the film’s set while shooting was underway. According to Lilwin, the intruders arrived in a convoy of nine to ten motorbikes and ordered the crew to halt all activities.

He claimed the unidentified men were upset over a financial offer he had allegedly turned down to abandon the project. Without much warning, the group began vandalizing the property being used as a filming location—one that Lilwin had rented specifically for the production.

“The damage they caused was significant,” Lilwin lamented, adding that the property owner has now withdrawn permission for them to continue using the house for filming.

However, the situation took a turn when Lilwin pretended to place a call to the Ashanti Regional Minister. Sensing trouble, the masked attackers reportedly fled the scene.

Sarkodie Applauds Akon For Pioneering Role In Global Rise Of Afrobeats

Ghanaian rapper, Michael Owusu Addo, better known as Sarkodie, has paid glowing tribute to Senegalese-American superstar Akon for his influential role in propelling Afrobeats onto the global stage.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Sarkodie highlighted Akon’s early and unwavering support for African music and musicians during a time when few mainstream artists were willing to do the same.

“Big shouts to the legend @Akon for what you did for Afrobeats!!! We can’t skip that in history… few artists at their prime will look back and put their people on from the motherland! He did that in a big way!” Sarkodie wrote.

The “Adonai” hitmaker emphasized that while Afrobeats has evolved and reached unprecedented global heights in recent years, the groundwork laid by Akon deserves recognition. He noted that Akon’s efforts to uplift African talent during his own commercial peak helped lay a foundation for the genre’s current worldwide dominance.

“Of course it’s been bigger and better since but we can’t ignore his contribution to the global dominance of Afrobeats,” Sarkodie added.

Akon, known for hits like “Locked Up” and “Smack That,” has long championed African artists and was among the first internationally acclaimed musicians to collaborate with and invest in African music talent. His work with acts such as Wizkid, Davido, and P-Square during the early stages of their careers helped open global doors for the genre.

Kuami Eugene Pleads with Mahama to ‘Slow Down’ Cedi’s Rise Amid Forex Concerns

Award-winning Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene has taken to social media to humorously appeal to former President John Dramani Mahama to intervene in the rapid appreciation of the Ghanaian cedi against the U.S. dollar.

In a lighthearted but telling post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the 2020 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) Artist of the Year voiced concern over the recent strength of the cedi, which has seen a significant gain in value since the beginning of April.

“We beg Pres. @JDMahama for slow down small, my dollar reserves all dey go waste. I’m happy and sad at the same time,” Kuami Eugene wrote, striking a balance between humor and economic frustration.

Since April 1, the Ghana cedi has appreciated sharply — climbing from GH₵15 to $1 to its current exchange rate of approximately GH₵10 to $1.

While the currency’s resurgence is being hailed as a sign of economic stabilization, it has drawn mixed reactions, particularly from Ghanaians abroad and local investors who keep reserves in foreign currency.

Many in the diaspora have expressed dissatisfaction, explaining that the strengthening cedi makes remittances and dollar-based transactions more expensive. Kuami Eugene’s post echoes the sentiment of those whose foreign-denominated savings or business transactions are losing value as the cedi rises.
