GTA To Provide Dr Likee With Two Free Flight Tickets To London For His Show

0

Ghana’s tourism authorities are throwing their weight behind comic star Dr Likee as he prepares to take his craft to an international stage.

In a visit that signaled both endorsement and expectation, Dr Likee and members of his team met with Maame Efua Houadjeto, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority, alongside her deputy, Abeiku Santana. The delegation used the meeting to formally brief the Authority on their upcoming London showcase and extend an invitation to the leadership.

Beyond the usual courtesies, the conversation took on a broader cultural tone. Houadjeto urged the team to weave in themes around reparations, an issue Ghana has been actively promoting on the global stage under the leadership of John Dramani Mahama. The suggestion reflects a growing push to use entertainment as a vehicle for national storytelling and historical reflection.

Backing the words with action, Abeiku Santana disclosed that the GTA would support the production with two flight tickets to ease travel arrangements for Dr Likee and his crew, stressing the Authority’s commitment to exporting Ghanaian creativity.

Grateful for the backing, the team expressed appreciation for what they described as timely and meaningful support as they gear up for a major international audience.

The event, titled Dr. Likee Live – A Night of Comedy, Music & Stage Play, is slated for May 22, 2026, at the Indigo at The O2 in London. The night is expected to blend humour, live performances and theatrical elements, with appearances from Akrobeto, Nana Ama McBrown and Papa Kumasi, adding further star power to the lineup.

The team also visited a renowned media personality, Bola Ray.

Lilwin Claims “Alkayida” Outshines Guru’s Hits, Says It Defined His Career

0

Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin, is revisiting his past collaborations with Guru and making a bold claim about their impact.

In an interview with ZionFelix, the filmmaker and artiste argued that “Alkayida,” the track he recorded with Guru, stands as the most significant song in the rapper’s catalogue. He pointed out that the record still sparks strong reactions whenever it is played, years after its release.

While he admitted that Guru’s “Lapaz Toyota” enjoyed massive popularity, Lilwin maintained that it falls short of the reach and influence of “Alkayida,” which he believes gave Guru a major boost at a crucial point in his career.

Lilwin described “Go Lilwin,” another collaboration between them, as a defining moment, explaining that the song stood out above the rest and continues to command attention each time it comes on. In his assessment, it surpasses Guru’s other hits in both energy and reception.

He went on to recount how their working relationship continued after the success of “Alkayida,” leading to another project titled “Tie Tie Break.” According to him, the initial version included his former manager Zack, but that contribution did not make it into the final release.

Lilwin said he never found out why Zack’s part was removed, noting that he did not have a close working relationship with Guru at the time. He explained that once recordings or performances were done, they each went their separate ways, with little communication afterward.

He also revealed that in those early days, he often performed alongside Guru without charging a fee, adding that the lack of a direct connection made it difficult for him to question decisions about their joint work, including what happened to the original version of “Tie Tie Break.”

I Will Never Allow Outsiders To Take Over – Daddy Lumba’s Sister Declares

0

Tensions around the estate of late Highlife legend Daddy Lumba have sharpened, with his elder sister taking a hard stance against any outside involvement in his properties.

Ernestina Fosu has made it clear she will oppose any move by individuals outside the immediate family to stake a claim. In a video shared online, she argued that the singer’s success was built on the backing of his siblings rather than support from outsiders.

She also reflected on the early and difficult phases of his career, insisting that it was family members who remained constant in his corner. In her view, that loyalty should naturally extend to how his estate is handled.

Ernestina further stressed that inheritance should be limited to those closest to the late musician, pointing specifically to his wives and children while dismissing claims from distant relatives or unrelated persons.

“I will never allow outsiders to take over my brother’s properties. Our mother gave birth to three of us, and no one helped Lumba except his siblings. We supported each other, so I won’t allow any outsider to take what belongs to him. If my brother is no more, he has wives and children who should inherit from him, so I won’t allow anyone else to come in and take it,” she said.

Daddy Lumba passed away on July 26, 2025, at the age of 60, ending a career that spanned more than thirty years and produced over 30 albums, firmly establishing him as one of Ghana’s most influential Highlife artists.

He was buried on December 13, 2025, at the Baba Yara Stadium following the dismissal of a court injunction that had briefly threatened to halt the funeral proceedings.

“I’ve Been Single for 7 Years” – Louisa Adinkra Shares Divorce Story

0

Ghanaian actress Louisa Adinkra has reflected on the collapse of her marriage. She described it as a painful chapter she sensed might not stand the test of time.

In a recent discussion with Emelia Brobbey on Adom TV, she revealed she has spent the last seven years on her own following the end of the union.

“I’m no longer married. I’ve been single for about seven years now,” Louisa disclosed.

Sharing what the experience has taught her, the actress stressed the need for vigilance when it comes to personal relationships, especially those allowed into one’s inner circle.

“You need to be scared and cautious about people. The scary part is, the ones you bring closer are the ones who would hurt you the most,” she stated.

According to her, the breakdown of the marriage was not caused by a single issue, but one situation stood out above the rest. She pointed to the influence of someone she once trusted deeply, who later became a key factor in the relationship’s downfall.

“My marriage ended in so many angles. There was one particular person who was very close to me. She was part of my husband’s family. When I brought her to stay with me, a lot of people were against it. I didn’t know what I saw in her but I liked her so much. She played a major role in my marriage not working,” she indicated.

She admitted that her former husband had repeatedly cautioned her about the people around her, advice she did not fully take seriously at the time.

“My ex-husband used to warn me to be careful of my friends, but when I check around, I don’t see any friend who’s that close to me,” she explained.

In reflection, she now believes there were warning signs long before the marriage itself, but her feelings at the time clouded her judgment.

“I had always known my marriage would collapse. During our dating moments, whenever I was going to my ex-husband’s house, people asked me if I could cope. That should have been a signal to me, but I didn’t pay attention, and I was in love,” she divulged.

Louisa Adinkra said the marriage lasted nearly nine years, and in hindsight, she questions whether those years could have been spent differently.

“I was married for close to nine years. Looking at my age now and the number of years I was married, I feel I’ve wasted my time,” she stated.

How A Simple Mistake Got Kwaku Manu Denied Entry In Amsterdam

0

Kumawood actor Kwaku Manu has opened up about a difficult experience from his very first trip outside Ghana, one that ended before it truly began.

Speaking in an interview with ZionFelix, the actor recounted how he was stopped at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and eventually put on a return flight after failing to convince immigration officers about the purpose of his visit.

According to him, trouble started almost immediately after landing. He said he was unable to provide the full name and address of the person he had planned to stay with because he only knew the individual by a nickname, a detail that raised red flags during questioning.

He explained that he had faced several challenges while travelling over the years, including that particular incident where he was denied entry. He admitted that at the airport, he forgot the person’s real name, and when officials requested specific details, he could not give any beyond the nickname he had.

Kwaku Manu also reflected on his own behaviour during the encounter, suggesting that he may have worsened the situation. He noted that although the officers were not asking many questions, he kept talking and even requested Wi-Fi access, which was denied.

Looking back, he believes the entire episode may have been a form of divine protection. In his view, the setback prevented him from walking into a potentially troubling situation.

He went on to describe what happened after he was taken aside. He said he was placed in a room where he saw a mattress and decided to lie down and sleep. At one point, an officer questioned whether he genuinely intended to enter the country or preferred to remain there resting, a moment he now recalls with some irony.

He also shared that he tried to convince the officer of his public profile by mentioning that he was a celebrity and suggesting his name be searched online. While the officer began typing, starting with his surname, he interrupted to insist that his first name be entered instead, even though either order would have produced the same result.

In hindsight, Kwaku Manu believes things unfolded for a reason. He concluded that the person he intended to visit was not suitable, and gaining entry might have led him into difficulty, reinforcing his belief that the experience was a warning rather than a setback.

Stonebwoy Details Life-Threatening Accident That Forced Him To Miss BECE

0

At age 13, Stonebwoy survived a near-fatal road accident that left him hospitalised for months and forced him to miss his BECE exams.

In a recent interview with Kafui Dey, the popular Ghanaian artiste revisited the traumatic crash. He was travelling with his father and sister along the motorway from Accra to Tema when the incident occurred.

His father had pulled over briefly near Action Chapel International when events took a sudden turn.

“The only thing I can make of the accident is that it’s God’s plan. It was on the motorway. We were driving back from Accra to Tema with my dad and sister. My dad was the one driving, so we pulled over briefly right opposite the Action Chapel.

“Then the car from Tema to Accra somersaulted and crashed into ours. It was a police car and I saw the vehicle coming towards us. The only thing I could do was to shout and I passed out,” he recounted.

He said he regained consciousness at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, confused and unable to immediately locate his family.

“When I woke up, I found myself in Korle-Bu. I didn’t see my dad and sister when I woke up. My dad had some injuries, and my sister suffered head fractures, but thankfully, they’re good now,” he said.

The accident left him with severe knee injuries that required extensive medical care.

“That’s how my knees got messed up. My knees were badly damaged, though the bones were still intact,” he explained.

He spent nearly four months in hospital recovering, a period that disrupted his academic plans at a critical stage.

“I was thirteen years old, so that was the beginning of my life. I stayed in the hospital for about four months. It was almost like a few months to write my BECE when the accident happened.

“I tried to write the exams in the hospital, and my mum did all she could to allow me, but I couldn’t get to write.”

Determined not to fall behind, he later joined the next batch of students and studied from home using notes from his juniors.

“I came back home and joined the batch behind me, and I had to read from home. I had to collect some of my juniors’ notes, and eventually, I was the top two of the batch,” the Bhim Nation boss stated.

No Political Agenda – Guru Explains Why He Studied Political Science

0

Speculation about Guru’s academic background and a possible political future has been building, but the musician says the narrative is off track, stressing that his study of Political Science was never meant as a gateway into public office.

In a recent discussion on the Atuu show with Nana Romeo, the Ghanaian artiste recounted how his return to the classroom had little to do with a calculated shift away from music. Instead, he pointed to sustained pressure from home and a moment of reflection during a break in his career as the real push behind that decision.

For years, he said, his parents had pressed him to complete his education after he chose to focus on music early on. That long-standing expectation eventually caught up with him, prompting a change of heart.

“My parents wanted me to finish my education, but I jumped into doing music, so I was being hunted, and I hadn’t fulfilled my parents’ investment wishes. I was also noted to be doing music at a point, and that is what pushed me back to school,” he explained

Guru also addressed what he described as a widespread misunderstanding about his time at the University of Ghana, explaining that Political Science was not his original course of study.

“I went to Legon to study a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. I went there because of IT. I switched to Political Science because UTAH went on strike, which delayed me for a few weeks, so that I couldn’t catch up with the rest of the class,” he explained.

The switch, though unplanned, ended up opening doors beyond academics. He pointed to his tenure as SRC president as one of the key outcomes, framing it as hands-on leadership experience rather than a deliberate move toward politics.

“Out of the political science, I realized I had to put my studies into action and later use it as my work reference of what I studied,” Guru stressed.

Stonebwoy Emotionally Opens Up On His Mother’s Death; Says He Still Hasn’t Recovered From It

0

Ghanaian dancehall star, Stonebwoy, has shared an emotional account of the pain he continues to carry ten years after the death of his mother, Catherine Satekla, describing the loss as one he has never fully come to terms with.

Speaking in a candid interview with media personality Kafui Dey, the award-winning musician reflected on the deep bond he shared with his mother, whom he described as his “rock.”

While acknowledging the support of his father, Stonebwoy emphasised that the connection he had with his mother was irreplaceable, making her passing particularly devastating.

Recounting the heartbreaking moment, the artiste revealed that the tragedy unfolded shortly after a major career milestone. He had just returned from New York, where he had won a prestigious BET Award, when he rushed straight to the 37 Military Hospital upon hearing of his mother’s illness.

“I had left my bags and everything at the airport because I was rushing,” he said, explaining that he had been told she was unwell but recovering.

However, upon arrival, he was confronted with the devastating reality.

“I was the first person they brought the body to,” he recalled.

Stonebwoy described the shock and disbelief that followed, noting that he had held onto hope that his mother would recover.

“When I saw her lying there, I couldn’t believe it. I still had hope that she would wake up,” he said.

In a deeply emotional recollection, the musician shared how he tried to wake her, urging her to “get up” so they could return home together.

The award-winning artiste admitted that the moment has remained etched in his memory, contributing to a lingering sense of grief and emotional pain.

He also spoke about the confusion surrounding communication from family members during the critical period, noting that some updates were not relayed to him in time—something he says he still struggles to process.

Despite the passage of time and his continued success in music, Stonebwoy revealed that the loss remains a deeply personal wound.

Ghanaian business mogul Osei Kwame Despite warmed hearts over the weekend after a chance encounter with young dancer Afronita and her team at the airport in Kumasi.

The meeting took place at the Prempeh International Airport on Sunday, April 12, 2026, when Afronita and members of the AfroStar Kids Academy were preparing to return to Accra.

The group had travelled from Accra to Kumasi to perform at the ongoing AshantiFest.

In a TikTok video shared by Plus 1 TV, Afronita’s mother confirmed to Despite that the children had successfully completed their performance and were heading back home.

Shortly after, Afronita approached the businessman and greeted him warmly.

Moved by the encounter, Despite reached into his handbag, counted a sum of money in dollars, and handed it over to Afronita and the young dancers.

Although the exact amount remains undisclosed, the gesture appeared substantial, as seen in the video.

Afronita and the children expressed visible excitement and gratitude, smiling as they received the gift from the renowned businessman.

The moment has since gained traction online, with many praising Despite for his generosity and support for young talents in the creative arts.
