Actor, Kwadwo Nkansah “Lil Win,” has launched a strong critique against Ghanaian television stations, accusing them of unauthorized streaming of his and other local filmmakers’ productions.

In a trending video, the actor issued a stern warning to executives of these television stations.

He accused them of disrespecting Ghanaian content creators’ intellectual property rights while investing heavily in foreign productions, particularly Asian soap operas.

Lil Win voiced his frustration over the significant financial resources Ghanaian television stations allocate to acquiring and promoting foreign series.

He cited the immense popularity of Indian soap operas like “Kumkum Bhagya,” to the extent that the Multimedia Group even hosted its cast in Ghana.

He questioned the apparent disparity in investment, asking why similar effort and financial backing are not directed towards supporting and showcasing Ghanaian film projects.

“If TV stations can pay to air Indian soap operas, why can’t they invest in our local movies for their audiences?”

Lil Win passionately questioned, highlighting the perceived undervaluation of local content.

“TikTok will get you the fame but not wealth” – Father Ankrah

0

Father Ankrah has highlighted the significant monetization hurdles faced by creatives in Ghana who primarily use TikTok.

According to him, while the popular short-form video platform excels at boosting visibility, it provides minimal to no direct financial rewards for creators based in the country.

In a recent interview on the Fire and Ice podcast, Father Ankrah clearly stated that achieving viral status on TikTok within Ghana does not automatically equate to financial success for creators.

He pointed out that despite amassing substantial views and follower counts, Ghanaian TikTok users earn very little directly from the platform itself.

“TikTok can make you go viral and famous, but here in Ghana, we don’t earn money directly from TikTok regardless of your views or following,” Father Ankrah explained, shedding light on the disparity.

He further clarified that the main avenues for income generation for TikTok creators in Ghana are through brand endorsements and the platform’s TikTok Live feature, rather than direct payments from TikTok based on content performance.

“We only make money from adverts and TikTok Live,” Father Ankrah emphasized, contrasting TikTok with other platforms. “The only platforms that actually pay creators in Ghana are YouTube and Facebook.”

Yaw Siki Opens Up About Fame, Emptiness And Finding God

After stepping away from the limelight of secular music to pursue a spiritual calling, former Ghanaian hiplife artiste Yaw Siki is shedding new light on the inner journey behind his dramatic transformation.

Appearing on the GTV Breakfast Show, the one-time chart-topper spoke candidly about the unseen toll of fame and the powerful encounter that rerouted his life from stages to sermons.

“I remember when I had just transformed and started following the Lord Jesus. While waiting on Him, some people called and wanted me on a song and at a show, but I had to deny myself — even though I had nothing at the time,” he recalled.

Yaw Siki, known for his breakout hit Wopɛ Dodo, admitted that from the outside, everything looked perfect — sold-out shows, rising stardom, and the thrill of achieving what many dream of. But on the inside, he was unraveling.

“Initially, it was fun, pleasurable, and I was achieving the dream. But then I became empty while I was there. Two years after Wopɛ Dodo, I felt so empty in my room — there was no joy.”

In that stillness and silence, something stirred, a whisper not of the crowd, but of conviction.

“And in that emptiness, there was that small voice leading, urging, or inspiring me to come to the Lord and to serve Him.”

That voice became his compass, and with it, he abandoned the stage for the scripture, choosing faith over fame. Now a gospel preacher, Yaw Siki stands unwavering in his decision.

When asked if he ever longed for the life he left behind, his response was swift and certain, “Not at all.”

How Can A Country Achieve 24-Hour Economy Without Electricity? – Prince David Osei Questions

0

Ghanaian actor, Prince David Osei, has reignited public frustration over the country’s worsening power crisis, calling out what many see as the glaring contradiction between government rhetoric and daily reality.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the outspoken actor questioned the feasibility of achieving a 24-hour economy, a major talking point in Ghana’s political discourse, promised by President John Mahama, when the nation can barely keep the lights on.

“How can a country achieve a 24-hour economy when basic utilities like electricity can’t even be provided for 10 hours? It seems like a distant dream. #stopdumsornow,” he wrote.

His post, sharp and direct, has quickly gained traction online, sparking fresh debate about the return of “dumsor” — the local term for Ghana’s erratic power supply.

Osei’s frustration reflects a growing sentiment among Ghanaians: that conversations about economic transformation ring hollow when foundational services remain unreliable. A 24-hour economy, many argue, requires more than ambition; it needs infrastructure, planning, and above all, consistency.

Critics have pointed out that the idea of round-the-clock productivity loses its credibility when businesses and households are left in the dark for hours at a time.

Meanwhile, others have chastised Prince David Osei for keeping mute about Dumsor when the Nana Akufo-Addo government was in power.

King Paluta is not the underdog in TGMA Artiste of the Year race – Manager speaks

0

Ghanaian rapper and singer, King Paluta is making waves in the music scene following an explosive year marked by a string of chart-topping hits.

But despite his success, his manager, Cofy Dela, is puzzled as to why the “Makoma” hitmaker continues to be labeled an underdog in the race for the prestigious Artiste of the Year (AOTY) at the upcoming Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).

Speaking in an interview with Graphic Showbiz, Cofy Dela passionately challenged the perception that King Paluta is a lesser contender compared to fellow AOTY nominees like Stonebwoy and King Promise.

He argued that Paluta, known in private life as Thomas Adjei Wireko, has outshined his peers with the release of not one, but three hit songs during the TGMA year under review—“Makoma,” “Aseda,” and “For the Papping (Apicki).”

“By the records available, King Paluta deserves it more than any other artiste in the AOTY category because his presence and impact in the year under review are dominant across the board,” Dela asserted.

“Among the contenders, can anyone mention even two hit songs in the award year? King Paluta doesn’t have only one or two but three hits. They are street anthems that dominated the airwaves and resonated deeply with the people.”

According to Dela, King Paluta’s influence extended beyond entertainment.

He noted that during last year’s election campaign season, Paluta’s songs were a staple at political rallies, energizing crowds and cementing his popularity on the ground—something Dela says other contenders lacked.

He also expressed concern about how the AOTY debate has increasingly focused on international reach and even physical appearance—factors he believes should not overshadow the TGMA’s clearly defined criteria.

“It’s frustrating that the narrative is being shaped by things that have nothing to do with the actual impact the artiste made during the year,” Dela added.

Looking beyond the awards, Dela spoke about what inspired him to manage King Paluta, praising the artist’s unwavering dedication to his craft.

“He is the true definition of perseverance, dedication, and consistency. This belief has fueled the desire to help him realise his full potential and achieve success,” he said.

With a growing fan base, consistent hit releases, and powerful street appeal, King Paluta is no longer just a rising star—he is staking his claim as one of Ghana’s most influential musical voices.

Are you uninterested in relationships when you’re clocking 30? – Fella Makafui asks

0

Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur Fella Makafui has sparked a relatable conversation on social media, openly questioning the dwindling interest in romantic relationships after a prolonged period of being single.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the ex-wife of rapper Medikal posed a thought-provoking question to her followers, delving into the potential reasons behind this shift in perspective.

In her candid tweet, Makafui wondered if her current lack of enthusiasm for relationships stemmed from the duration of her single status or the approaching milestone of her 30th birthday.

“I want to ask a very honest question 🤭 Do you become that unbothered and uninterested in relationships when you’ve been single for a while?

Or is it because I’m getting closer to my 30s ?” she wrote, inviting her audience to share their own experiences and insights.
