Ghanaian actress and television personality Nana Ama McBrown has shared that she has no regrets about prioritizing her acting career before starting a family.

Speaking on the DivaDocLetsTalk podcast, McBrown revealed the emotional struggles she faced while trying to conceive. She admitted that seeing her colleagues become mothers while she was still childless often brought her to tears.

McBrown successfully conceived through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) at the age of 41.

Fortunately, her first IVF attempt was successful, and she gave birth at 41. Despite the challenges, McBrown remains confident in the choices she made.

“I have no regrets about focusing on my career before having children,” she affirmed.

During his ‘For The Records’ show yesterday, he affirmed that his ex-girlfriend Anne Sana Daly caused his arrest.

Okatakyie alleged that Anne accused him of sextortion and further edited their conversation to make it fit her agenda.

“I was told that Andeli reported me and said I have her nudes and I am blackmailing her with them.

I told them to bring evidence, and so they took me home and took what they wanted and said they were going to investigate me. I dated this lady six years ago, so I won’t talk about how toxic she is.

However, I picked intel that they have a dossier on her and so she should be careful. She edited the messages I shared with her for it to look as though I was saying I had her nude videos,”

However, upon his return to Ghana, fate had other plans.

The OK Foundation boss mwntioned in the interview that out of broken heart, the lady declared that she would never marry another man again because of the pain he had caused her.

This, Okyeame Kwame admitted, has remained a heavy burden on his conscience.Whenever I see her and realize she is still not married, it really hurts me,” Okyeame Kwame stated.

I have never received any award after 20 years in music – Mzbel laments

Hiplife veteran,  Mzbel, has lamented over the fact that she hasn’t won any award despite being in the music industry for the past two years.

According to Mzbel, despite being a Ghanaian, she has received awards from Nigeria, Liberia, Kenya, Ivory Coast and other countries.

Speaking to Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z, she said: “I have been in the industry for 20 years; I’ve never received any award.

She made the statement when talking about what she would do differently if she had yet to start music.

According to her, because she really didn’t prepare for a music career, she did things anyhow, and that in a way affected her.

“I am not blaming anybody. I think it is the branding.

If I were starting music today, I would put more effort into my branding.

The branding wasn’t put together well. I was just put out like that, with no proper branding. I would go on the radio and say anything, put on any outfit, go where I am not supposed to,” she said.

Speaking in an interview with Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM, the veteran musician admitted that despite her two-decade career, her lack of proper branding cost her several opportunities, including awards.

“I am not blaming anybody. I think it is the branding. If I were starting music today, I would put more effort into my branding. The branding wasn’t put together well.

I was just put out like that, no proper branding. I would go on radio and say anything, put on any outfit, go where I was not supposed to,” she explained.

Mzbel pointed to Becca as a prime example of a female artiste who was well-branded under the management of Kiki Banson.

She advised up-and-coming female artistes to learn from her experience and prioritize branding to sustain their careers in the competitive music industry.

Award-winning Ghanaian actress, Beverly Afaglo, has recounted how she struggled as a budding actress.

Speaking on The Career Trail program on Joy Learning TV and Joy News, the actress-cum entrepreneur explained that many movie producers at the time preferred casting half-caste or fair-skinned actors, making it difficult for dark-skinned talents to secure roles.

In her own words;

“Our time, what most of the producers were doing was, you had to be a half-cast. I think Jackie Appiah was the only person because she was a star already, so they needed her,” she said.

In the course of the interview, Beverly added that movie directors and producers had a strong opinion that fair ladies looked better on screen

“Producers thought light-skinned actors looked better on TV. As a result, most of them preferred casting light-skinned individuals,” she noted.

It’s Shameful To Say You Can’t File TGMA Nominations – George Quaye Chastises Musicians

0

George Quaye has criticised Ghanaian musicians who cannot file Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) nominations.

The former Charterhouse head of communications said it’s a shame if some musicians cannot familiarise themselves with the nomination process of the award scheme.

He stated that it is not pleasant for them to sit on radio and complain without knowing the nomination process.

“If I were a musician, I would feel very ashamed to sit on the radio and say I don’t know how to submit forms for the TGMAs. Should I come to your house to show you how to do it? The scheme has been here for 25 years, if you have any interest, you do it yourself,” Quaye said on Hitz FM.

If they cannot do the nomination themselves, the media personality averred it is prudent for them to hire someone who can help them.

“If you can’t do it yourself, get somebody to do it for you. But to sit on social media and say you don’t know how, it’s shameful. At worst, drive to CharterHouse; it’s not in the south of France. There are many people around who can help you.

“It only tells me clearly that you are not interested. If you want to be part of the scheme but can’t put in the work, don’t even call yourself a musician,” George Quaye averred.
