The choice of lifestyle of any individual is undoubtedly a personal decision.

But should we be worried when our celebrities make us believe that they are wallowing in luxury when in reality, they borrow
to keep up with the fake lifestyle?

Recently, singer Sister Afia stated that most female celebrities live fake lives. It seems this might be true as another female celebrity has questioned the need to appear flashy in public while one is in
debt.

Actress Tracey Boakye took her turn on Celebrity Ride with Zionfelix and disclosed that she is more interested in building her own house rather than investing in clothes to ‘slay’ on the red carpet.
Responding to claims that she doesn’t slay in her outfits, she asked the rationale behind buying and wearing expensive clothes on the red carpet when one resides in a rented house.

‘Tracey doesn’t slay. That is the word they use….To live in a rented room and slay on the red carpet is not something I fancy…At the end of the month if I don’t get evicted from my house and I don’t owe, I believe in that than pleasing others’, Tracey said.

The actress, who was heavily criticised for her open support for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the 2016 elections, indicated that everyone is at liberty to choice their lifestyle but
she prefers to invest in profitable ventures.

Speaking of her investments, the actress who says she is was born in 1991, mentioned that she bought a land and started building her own house at the age of 21.

‘I was 21 years when I did it (bought the land). The chief whom I bought the land from is in Asokwa…I bought the land myself….That is what I want to do. If someone feels proud of buying an expensive dress, why shouldn’t I feel proud of saying I built a house?’

Tracey Boakye advised Ghanaian celebrities to control the stardom they have rather than allowing it to control them.

If there ever was one entity to do the natural ‘patriotic’ duty of putting the genre of reggae music on its deserved pedestal, it more likely than not would be either the Ministry of Culture or that of Tourism.

For, until recently when Shatta Wale reinvented himself, blazing a historic trail that has ushered in Stonebuoy and the like, roots reggae was the main vehicle for contemporary Ghanaian highlife and gospel music.

Not this time. The elevation of the art form has not come from the expected quarters; the initiative has come from a collaboration between MUSIGA, 4Syte-TV and Roots Addiction at the behest of none other than original dancehall artist-turned roots crooner and TV/Radio personality Kwasi Nyarko Ofei aka Mr. Root Eye, Director of the Reggae Department of MUSIGA.

Together, these three entities are set to rekindle the dimming light that Rastafari has bequeathed the world. MUSIGA, 4Syte-TV and Roots Addiction are launching a musical and social roots movement called “Accra Reggae Weekend” on Friday July 28, 2017 at the 4Syte-TV Mansion at East Legon 6pm. This occasion will provide the backdrop against which players of instruments, promoters, brand advertisers, music industry Execs, the general public and other stakeholders will meet to witness the birth of a phenomenon long overdue.

The revival initiative “Accra Reggae Weekend” will be a regular circuit that stirs up music from the genre’s vault performed live by Ghanaian reggae artistes, both home and abroad wiith spiritual and socially conscious lyrics.

This is great news because the five-day five-venue monthly revival of traditional roots reggae will bring back the much missed ingredients of love, oneness, optimism, truth-seeking, and the positivity of a movement that may be losing its sheen.

The Mirror met with the brain behind “Accra Reggae Weekend” Kwasi Nyarko Ofei aka Mr. Root Eye for more light on his initiative. Following, excerpts from the interview:

Mirror: What started this?

Kwasi Nyarko Ofei: Well, the idea is to keep reggae music LIVE in regular venues. We need to establish a vibrant reggae scene in Ghana outside the traditional scenes at the beaches. There are so many wonderful acts and up-and-coming talent that music lovers never get to see because they are not exposed in mainstream venues.

Mirror: How do you plan to fund this?

Kwasi Nyarko Ofei: We have no funding at this moment, but the artistes, venue owners, media, and event organizations have come together to work together and split proceeds in percentages.

Mirror: What is the format of the “Accra Reggae Weekend”?

Kwasi Nyarko Ofei: Every last week of the month – from Wednesday through Sunday – five venues in Accra will host in turn three artistes supported by a live band. All events will be filmed for content for a new program on 4Syte-TV called ‘Drum N Bass’.

Mirror: And how long will this run?

Kwasi Nyarko Ofei: Indefinitely. We will only look at stopping when individual reggae artistes are able to hold their own and headline massive concerts. At that point, we will say we are doing well.

Mirror: What venues are participating?

Kwasi Nyarko Ofei: As we speak, we are using traditionally non-reggae venues such as the Bermuda Bar – Abelenkpe, Champs Sports Bar – Paloma, The Republic Bar – off Oxford Street, Osu, Root & Soul – Dansoman Estates, and the Piano Bar – Teshie Nungua Estates. All in Accra for now. In future, we will extend it to other cities.

Mirror: And the acts?

Kwasi Nyarko Ofei: Countless. We are featuring the best. We have Knii Lante, Oga Chux, Sammy Nukpese, Culture Levi, Kojo Kombolo, Paapa Wastik, Osagyefo, Iwan, Ras Kuuku, JahWi, and many more. They will be supported by Rainbow Generation, Big Hills Band and Protégé and others.

Mirror: You’re not performing?

Kwasi Nyarko Ofei: Of course I am.

Mirror: Seriously speaking though, what do you see as the future of reggae in Ghana? Isn’t it dead already?

Kwasi Nyarko Ofei: Far from that. Reggae is thriving. Remember, traditionally, reggae music defends the message of peace, oneness and unity. It challenges evil, and preaches love and uprightness. It is needed now more than ever with the increasing moral decadence among our youth and corruption in high places. It may be fading, but reggae’s influence can still be heard in the mainstream.

Listen to highlife music. Amakye Dede. Listen to Ghanaian gospel music. It’s mostly reggae. The problem is that the genre is not being packaged well to sell its products. It’s a branding problem.

Mirror: How would you measure the success of “Accra Reggae Weekend”?

Kwasi Nyarko Ofei: Easy. When we manage to give regular jobs to players of instruments, increase the smile on people’s faces, and pack our stadiums with homegrown talent headlining, we will know we have arrived.

If you are one of the countless Ghanaians who have been berating actress Christabel Ekeh after her nude pictures went viral then you should be thinking twice because parents of the young lady say everybody should let their daughter have her peace of mind.

This was communicated to the public when the “Potomato” actress’ sister, Tabitha Ekeh spoke on Peace FM Saturday afternoon after her sister became the talk of the town. Tabitha disclosed that her parents have seen the pictures and are unperturbed about them.

The younger sister of Christabel Ekeh answering Kwasi Aboagye who asked about her parents’ reaction after they saw the trending photos disclosed that “for them, their daughter says that is her new brand so the public should let her be”.

She continued to refute reports that her sister is mentally unstable.

Nigerian singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur Mr Eazi for the first time has reacted to the announcement Wizkid made at the 2016 Ghana Music Awards that he has signed him to his Starboy Worldwide Record Label.

The ‘Bankuliz’ singer in a conversation with Giovani on Starr FM in Accra stated that he was not signed to the record label. He explained that the public misunderstood the ‘Sexy’ singer’s comments on the night of last year’s VGMAs. According to him, Starboy Worldwide is a label that belongs to all artistes on the record label – Wizkid, R2bees, Efya and himself. Mr. Eazi added that they came together to form the label with the aim of “breaking into world market”.

The Alumnus of KNUST disclosed that he was surprised to hear after the awards that Wizkid has signed him on Starboy Worldwide.

“The night after the award I heard those comments and I was just like this is just silly. We all came together and said let’s come up with a platform, Starboy Worldwide and our aim is to take the music to the world. Starboy Worldwide is a collective organisation specifically to push African music worldwide” he told host of Starr Drive.

Wizkid announced at last year’s Ghana Music Awards that he has signed R2bees, Efya and Mr. Eazi on his Starboy Worldwide Record label and this had many talking about the deal. Whilst some people thought the two Ghanaian musicians were popular and good enough to be on their own, others thought joining Wizkid on the same record label would help them.
