Kwasi Dave, Zionfelix & Bra Chicky

Ashaiman-based music group, Gallaxy before nominees for the 2017 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards were announced had a wrangle with celebrity blogger and radio presenter, Zionfelix over a story the latter reported.

Zionfelix published on Zionfelix.net that the group has described the annual awards as no more credible when he; Zionfelix interviewed the duo on Radio Univers’ Brunch2Lunch entertainment show. Kwasi Dave, half of the group publicly denied the publication asking Ghanaians especially their fans to disregard the story because there was no iota of truth in it. The boss of Zionfelix.net who was not pleased with the group’s action after denying the publication also went after them on social media telling them to be men with balls and standby their words because they indeed said on Radio Univers that VGMAs is no more credible after George Quaye accused gospel musicians as persons who offer most bribe for awards.

Gallaxy denying the publication and Zionfelix insisting they made such a statement became talk of the town. Both parties exchanged words on several media platforms in the country all to save their brands. It looked like the music group and the blogger would not work again after the spine-chilling scene but all is well now.

The two who have not been heard or seen togethrr again after the saga happened months back have finally solved their differences. Bra Chicky and Kwasi who form Gallaxy and Zionfelix were on Hitz FM’s Showbiz This Week on April 1 to celebrate host of the show, MzGee’s birthday. Both parties told listeners of the show that there is no bad blood between them. According to musicians and the blogger, what happened weeks ago was just a misunderstanding but has been solved so they are now cool.

Gallaxy is out with new video for their single ‘Qualities’. Enjoy it below.

Bisa K’dei Wanted In Cote D’ivoire

Bisa Kdei

You would think Bisa KDei is shy, but he has found himself on a wanted list in Cote D’Ivoire! And guess who put him on that list- the President of the French-speaking nation, H.E Alhassane Ouattara.

But chill out guys because it’s not for any wrong reason, it’s for the same reason we all want him- His music is well loved by the people of Ivory Coast and their first family.

The ‘Mansa’ hitmaker made this revelation while on Empire 102.7 FM’S Drive Entertainment show. He revealed that his team was still considering an invitation from H.E. Alhassan Ouattara to headline a strong list of music acts from across the continent. He is the only Ghanaian artiste that was invited.

The indigenous crooner also shared experiences on his recent London tour before revealing that he was hard at work on a collaborative project between himself and Nigeria gem Reekado Banks. Inside sources say that the song is of Afropop genre but KDei himself is tightlipped on giving further details. Apparently, both artists have decided to keep information about the song on a down-low until the song is finally released.

Lately, International tours are the new bread-and-butter of an exploding continental music industry. The best music acts do not only stay home to pack auditoriums to capacity or enjoy money-spinning endorsements and sponsorships but as well have added a new venture of touring nations across the continent to headline sporting events, fanbase expansion or award concerts, presidential inaugurations and celebratory concerts.

Multiple award-winning R&B artist Akon once professed, “Africa is the next major region of growth in spending on music and entertainment.” The talented African-American artiste has been proven astute with that prediction. Africa’s entertainment industry has developed into a billion-dollar economy. Much credit to music acts all across the continent for working hard to achieve this reality.
