When cast for “Greedy bastard” visited ex president Rawlings
Kofas Media and Miracle Wave International have changed title for their first ever collaborated movie.
The two production houses told former president of Ghana, Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings that title for the new movie was “Greedy Bastard” when cast and crew of the film visited him before they started shoot. Zionfelix.net is reliably informed that producers of the movie are not cool with the title they told the ex-president during their visit hence have given the film a new name.

Tracey Boakye & Jessica Williams at ‘The Devil Between My Legs’ movie press conference
Ghanaian actresses Tracey Boakye and Jessica Williams were not very cool prior to the 2016 general election, which happened on December 7.
Jessica experienced the wrath of the Kumawood actress after she accused the CEO of Shakira Movies of taking car from NDC. The up and coming actress told host of Peace FM entertainment review, Kwasi Aboagye prior to the “Vera” actress’ reaction that she, Tracey Boakye endorsed the ruling government ahead of the 2016 polls due to the goodies that come with the endorsement deal.
The allegation made Tracey Boakye lose her temper when host of the entertainment show contacted her to react to the claim. The two were perceived to be at loggerheads because of the heated argument, which happened between them on the show.
Zionfelix.net can confirm that Tracey Boakye and Jessica Williams have solved their differences. The two actresses were spotted together laughing and communicating at the press conference of the movie, ‘The Devil Between My Legs’ held on Friday, March 3 in Kumasi.
Miss Williams speaking to Zionfelix.net after the press soiree denied ever having a problem with the ‘TV Atekopo’ actress prior to the 2016 election. According to the ‘Living With Trisha’ actress, she made her point known to the public but it was unfortunate that Peace FM called the actress cum producer to react to the allegation she made against her.
She told this website that she is part of Tracey’s ‘The Devil Between My Legs’ which production is currently ongoing.
Watch Jessica Williams talk about her relationship with Tracey Boakye below:
Never be under the impression that Jupita has a brother in the Ghanaian music industry whenever you see him hanging out with a colleague musician.
The dancehall musician has told Hitz FM’s MzGee point blank that Nigerian reggae-dancehall singer and songwriter Patoranking is his only brother he has in the music business. He added that no Ghanaian musician is his boon companion because of past experience.
The ‘Enemies’ hitmaker stated that he has had enough of Ghanaian musicians snitching and destroying each other.
“So far in my music lifestyle, he (Patoranking) is the only brother that I have, not even a Ghanaian musician.
I’ve no Ghanaian artiste as a brother and I’m telling you this before God and man because I’ve experienced enough of this snitching and destroying, honestly speaking that’s all we know.
When I was coming up, some of our musicians right in front of me were speaking Ewe to destroy me to someone I was introducing him to thinking I didn’t understand the language.” Jupita told MzGee.
Talking about why Patoranking has overtaken him in the world of music even though he, Jupita had his first hit song, the Ghanaian musician named branding and lack of support as the cause.
“Many things went wrong but the first is branding and the industry. Branding because most of the people here in Ghana we work with find it very difficult to invest in talent. Even if they want to invest in a talent, they want a short period.
I hit before Patoranking and that was somewhere 2010. He used to come to the studio for us to take pictures. Nigerians have a different mentality from us so it makes it difficult for any businessperson here in Ghana to invest because we have a bad mentality and that is really not helping us.
Our industry is also not strong enough to handle talents like us so we sometimes have to try and present ourselves someway just to make favours for us to be accepted.”
YFM’s Youngest radio jock Erskine popularly known as Rev Erskine says if He could bring any old hiplife artist back into the Ghanaian music industry it would be Lord Kenya now known as Evangelist Lord Kenya.
Rev expressed what he termed ‘a sincere opinion’ over the weekend on His Saturday Show “YCampusExpress” as YFM honoured 60 memorable songs from Ghana since independence on their special 4 day weekend themed #GHMusicAt60.
Lord Kenya who dropped his hiplife career and took up Evangelism in the Christian ministry some years ago according to Rev was one of the most talented hiphlife acts out of Ghana. Rev made mention of some of “Lord Kenya’s” old hits like “SikaBaa” & ” Driver SusuKo” and tagged them as his two favorite Old Hip life Hits from Ghana.
He further stated that, although Lord Kenya’s decision was for a greater cause, he just wished he was still in the game to inspire more talents to get into Hiphlife and also help put Ghana’s hiplife industry into its perfect shape.
In this industry, your name has worth. The bigger it gets, the more you can charge others to use your brand, especially for feature verses.
There’s power in collaborating, aligning with the right superstar can ascend any new artist and/or expand the relevance of a veteran. Which is why the price can be set so high, you’re paying for more than the verse, you’re paying for the attention it will bring.
But sad to speak, some artists seem to take advantage of this custom and refuse to “help” new artists with the quotation of totally outrageous fees.
This was the case of eShun; Unsung Artist nominee at this year’s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.
During her “Thank You Radio Tour” on Empire102.7FM, Takoradi, eShun spoke about her steady rise to fame, her music genre, her thoughts about the 2017 VGMAs and obviously her struggles in the music industry.
Accompanied by his manager Stephen Mensah, he expressed his total disgust at several top artists ignoring proposals to feature on their songs with the worst experience being with Kofi Kinaata’s management.
He recounted the woeful incident when he contacted Kinaata’s manager to feature on one of eShun’s Afro-Pop songs to which he was hit with a staggering GHC5000 charge (a fee artists “consider” for a full concert performance). For him, he appreciates that artists deserve fees for features but not to take advantage of “new artists”.
He further lamented that in an industry where CD sales and other income avenues are non-existent, most artists solely rely on (hit songs to get) gigs to keep up with their careers, so he found such an act by the High Grade manager purely egotistical and an attempt to indirectly show his disinterest to help a “new artist”.
Kofi Kinaata in recent times has been accused for failing to feature in numerous top HipHop collaborations with various rappers due to similar reasons and has missed out on many other concerts as well.
Several disheartening things happen at the hospital but few of such occurrences come out for the public to know.
An actress by name Maame Esi Forson who had a sad encounter with a doctor has narrated her ordeal at the mortuary in a movie titled “Boafo Ne Hwan” which will be out soon. The young actress in an interview with Zionfelix.net said the movie “Boafo Ne Hwan” which will be released on Monday, March 13 is a true-life story.
According to the actress cum movie producer, a doctor pronounced her dead when she was rushed to the hospital after she had an accident. Chronicling the incident, the actress revealed that she spent ten days at the mortuary without water and food.
She disclosed that the doctor who pronounced her dead refused to let her go home when she woke up hours after the accident because he thought she was dead. Miss Forson added that he again denied her family members the chance to check her body whenever they came around because he did not want them to notice that she is still alive.
Maame Esi Forson also talked about how the doctor tried to make her believe that she was indeed dead, how she escaped from the mortuary and how her family members runaway when she finally got home. She asked the public to grab a copy of “Boafo Ne Hwan” movie when it comes out on Monday, March 13 to watch how things happened when she was at the mortuary for ten days.
Maame Esi told Zionfelix.net that she will embark on a campaign to fight against the act because the doctor told her that she has encountered several incidents of such nature so she believes it is not everyone who has been pronounced dead is indeed no longer alive.
“Boafo Ne Hwan” movie features stars like Maame Esi Forson, Bill Asamoah, Akrobeto, Christiana Awuni and many others and it will be out on Monday, March 13.

Kumawood actress Kani Gloria has promised to go nude in movies if the role the director has given her demands such an act.
The actress who actively campaigned for the leading opposition party, NDC prior to the 2016 general election speaking to Zionfelix.net at the press conference of Tracey Boakye’s yet-to-be-shot movie, The Devil Between My Legs said she sees nothing wrong with showing her private parts in a movie to preach a message.
She made it clear that she will not go naked because of the money that comes with the role but “if going naked suits the story, I’m an actress and I’ll do it”.
Kani Gloria detailing why she accepted to act in Shakira Movies’ “The Devil Between My Legs” noted that it is not the usual Kumawood movies Ghanaians have watched for the past years. According to her, cast and crew of the movie which production starts on Wednesday, March 8 have planned well for the new production.
