Ghanaian socialite and outspoken music enthusiast, Ayisha Modi, has once again stirred controversy on social media, this time dragging in Okyeame Kwame’s wife, Annica Nsiah-Apau, amid her ongoing fallout with dancehall artiste Stonebwoy.
In one of the numerous live videos Ayisha has been making in the wake of her explosive feud with Stonebwoy, she surprisingly roped in Annica, making damning allegations about a past financial encounter they had.
Ghanaian TikToker and content creator 24Gh has opened up about the harsh realities behind his seemingly glamorous online presence.
Despite amassing huge numbers on TikTok and other social media platforms, 24Gh has revealed that life is far from easy.
Ghanaian socialite and music investor Ayisha Modi has reignited her long-running feud with award-winning dancehall artist Stonebwoy, accusing him of ingratitude and emotional mistreatment.
In a video that surfaced on social media on April 24, 2025, Ayisha, who was once a vocal supporter and close associate of the BHIM Nation leader, launched fresh attacks on the musician, warning him to be cautious in his dealings with her moving forward.
Ayisha revealed that she officially distanced herself from the BHIM Camp in 2022, citing repeated mistreatment and a lack of appreciation from Stonebwoy despite her years of public loyalty and support.
She expressed deep emotional pain from the experience and declared that the musician would eventually face consequences for the trauma she claims he caused her.
Her latest outburst was reportedly triggered by an incident involving one of Stonebwoy’s purported bodyguards, who allegedly insulted her for endorsing rapper King Paluta’s campaign for the ‘Artiste of the Year’ title at the upcoming Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs).
The altercation appears to have reignited unresolved tensions between Ayisha and Stonebwoy.
Ayisha Modi’s fallout with Stonebwoy has become increasingly public in recent years, marked by emotional revelations and accusations of betrayal. Once one of his fiercest defenders, she has now become one of his most outspoken critics.
Controversial social media personality and entrepreneur Ayisha Modi has once again taken a public swipe at her former ally, Stonebwoy, making fresh allegations of ingratitude in their ongoing feud.
In a recent TikTok live session, Ayisha claimed that the multiple award-winning dancehall star failed to properly acknowledge the contributions of former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan, who she says funded Stonebwoy’s leg surgery years ago.
According to Ayisha, the retired football icon used to reach out to her in frustration, lamenting Stonebwoy’s failure to publicly show appreciation for his support.
“Asamoah Gyan used to call me and cry bitterly after he paid for Stonebwoy to get surgery on his leg. I always found it difficult to tell Stonebwoy that Asamoah Gyan was complaining about him because it had been 10 years since he helped him, and he could not even say something good about it in public,” she alleged.
Ayisha went on to say that after much hesitation, she eventually confronted Stonebwoy and urged him to publicly acknowledge Gyan’s role in his recovery. She claims the musician only did so half-heartedly during a radio interview, after his attempts to contact Gyan were allegedly ignored.
She further accused Stonebwoy of showing ingratitude despite Gyan also footing the travel expenses for him and his team to the UK at the time.
In another startling claim, Ayisha disclosed that she gave Stonebwoy and his family GH₵25,000.00 to help fund a knee surgery for the dancehall artiste’s younger brother, Elijah Selasi Satekla.
However, she lamented that her goodwill was repaid with disrespect after a fallout with the BHIM Nation frontman. She said Elijah insulted her via private messages and unfollowed her on social media, intensifying the rift between the camps.
Ayisha Modi’s latest comments add fuel to the long-standing tension between her and Stonebwoy, a relationship that was once marked by mutual support but has since turned sour with public spats and accusations.
Veteran Kumawood actor Michael Afranie has responded to public concerns surrounding fellow actor Agya Koo’s absence at the recently held Ashanti Festival celebrations.
In an interview, Afranie addressed speculations suggesting that Agya Koo and other prominent Kumawood figures may have been sidelined due to their political affiliations, specifically with the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to Afranie, there was no deliberate exclusion of anyone from the celebrations. He clarified that the group of Kumawood stars who participated in the festivities were part of a collective known for their performances on television stations like Adom TV.
The group took it upon themselves to represent Kumawood through drama performances as part of the cultural celebration.
“Agya Koo was not sidelined,” Afranie explained. “Even if we did not call him, did you see him at AshantiFest? You don’t need a special invitation if you live in the Ashanti Region and we are organizing such an event. You just look at the program lineup and show up.”
He further stated that the organizers of AshantiFest were inclusive and that no personal issues existed between Agya Koo and any organizing team members. Afranie added that Agya Koo would have been warmly welcomed if he had decided to take part in the celebrations.
However, Afranie also suggested that Agya Koo’s absence might have stemmed from his own conscience due to his well-known support for the ruling NPP.
He hinted that the actor’s political stance may have influenced his decision not to associate with events perceived to be attended or supported by figures with opposing political ideologies.
Ghanaian media personality and popular vlogger Jessica Opare Saforo has stirred controversy online following a bold statement in a recent video that has since gone viral.
In controversial advice, the seasoned broadcaster advised men against committing to just one woman in relationships.
According to her, a man shouldn’t focus solely on one woman as a girlfriend or wife.
Jessica stated plainly, “As a man, you must have multiple women and never focus on only one,” a comment that has sparked intense discussions across social media platforms.
While some have criticized her for promoting infidelity and emotional instability, others believe she was merely highlighting the realities of modern relationships from a pragmatic point of view.
Jessica Opare Saforo is widely known for her candid takes on love, relationships, and self-development.
Her latest advice, however, has left many of her fans and critics divided on the values and implications it may promote in contemporary society.
Ghanaian police officer and gospel musician, ACP Kofi Sarpong, is opening the door to creative partnerships that many in the gospel space still view with caution.
In a candid interview on The Career Trail on Joy Learning TV and JoyNews, the ‘Enti Owura’ singer shared his willingness to collaborate with secular artists, challenging conventional boundaries in Ghana’s music industry.
“If the opportunity comes, I will not hesitate or if the time comes, I will not hesitate at all,” he said.
ACP Sarpong, known for blending faith and artistry, explained that his openness stems from a broader understanding of music’s purpose. He described music as a universal language, an expression of lived experiences, wisdom, and life lessons and argued against the rigid separation between gospel and secular categories.
“All these words that we put together, and put rhythm on it to become music, are all languages that we speak or things that we experience. If it comes to marriage and how couples should live, we get them from songs of Solomon. Motivations and proverbs are all there. So I don’t know why we should even say that we have gospel and we have secular, that we have drawn the line,” he submitted.
He acknowledged the magnetic pull of certain secular tunes, admitting that even he finds it hard to resist some of their beats.
“Some of these secular songs, when you hear the beat you cannot stand,” he added.

Despite traditional skepticism surrounding such collaborations, particularly within gospel circles, ACP Sarpong maintained a perspective of empathy and engagement. He stressed that labeling secular artists as “worldly” without engaging them limits opportunities to share the gospel and build meaningful connections.
“These people, if we even perceive them to be what we perceive them to be, if we do not go to them, if we do not get close to them, how will you get them to where you want them to be. Because even those that are in the church we are not able to keep them, we allow them to go because of the mindset we have developed about them,” he noted.
He clarified that his openness does not mean he disregards the concerns of those who hold more conservative views. However, for ACP Sarpong, collaboration, especially when aimed at uplifting youth, can be a powerful force for good.
“If we are to do something that will especially encourage the youth and motivate others, I will do,” he affirmed.
Even so, he emphasized that lyrical content would remain a non-negotiable in deciding whether to participate in a project. While open to breaking barriers, his values, he insists, must still guide the message in the music.
Long before he became a celebrated gospel musician and a high-ranking police officer, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Kofi Sarpong was a determined teenager hustling on the streets to fund his education — one ball of kenkey at a time.
In an emotional conversation on The Career Trail on Joy Learning TV and Joy News, ACP Sarpong recounted his journey from hardship to success, opening up about how he sold kenkey during his formative years to make ends meet and avoid dropping out of school.
“There were a lot of orphans in the family that my mother had to take care of. So you could imagine, that meager salary was what she used to cater for all of us. It was difficult. I dropped out of school about three to four times because the school fees were difficult to pay,” he recounted.
He explained that, despite his mother’s efforts to support him, the burden was heavy due to the number of dependents she cared for. To change the cycle of dropping out, he made a bold decision at just 13 years old to prepare and sell kenkey.
“I decided to help myself. So I started preparing kenkey. There is no kenkey that I do not know how it’s prepared; Ga kenkey, Fante, you name it. Up to Secondary School Form 5, I used to prepare and sell kenkey because I needed to help myself,” he said.

But the journey was far from easy. ACP Kofi Sarpong recalled moments of embarrassment and shame while selling by the roadside.
“Sometimes I would be selling at lorry parks and stations, I would meet some of my mates and decide to hide behind cars. But they would make sure they had seen that I was selling kenkey,” he shared.
He also disclosed that balancing the kenkey business with school was very challenging. He had to sell in the mornings before heading to class, which made him late almost every day, and as a result, he was often punished.
“In the morning, I had to prepare the Ga kenkey, sell to people, then wash down before joining my mates at school. I was always late and punished all the time,” he narrated.
Despite the hardships, he refused to give up. He said he could have easily chosen to stay out of school to save his family money, but he had a dream and a purpose.
“I never gave up because I had an aim. At that time, in the house, you could decide to go to school or not. Because the little that we were sharing if you decide not to go, it would help the rest. But I decided to help myself,” he stated.
His hard work paid off. The money he earned from selling kenkey helped him continue his education at Berekum Senior High School. Later, he had the opportunity to join the Ghana Police Service and worked his way up to the rank of Assistant Commissioner.
Today, he is not only a respected police officer, but also a popular gospel musician and fashion entrepreneur. Using his story as a yardstick, ACP Kofi Sarpong encouraged the youth never to let their circumstances define their future.

“God has purpose and plans for everyone. If you are born into a rich family, thanks be to God. If you are born into a low-class family, still give thanks, because the vision you carry rests in His hands. If you depend on Him, you will realize your vision in no time. Never let your present situation weigh you down. Keep pushing. Never be despaired. Move on,” he urged.
Answering whether he plans to go into the kenkey business again someday, he laughed and said, “One should not be surprised if you hear Kofi Sarpong Kenkey House.”
