The ongoing feud between Strongman Burner and Kweku Smoke seems to be intensifying as the former has once again responded to the latter’s jibes, this time in a track titled ’32’ where both artists collaborated.
The history between these two has been brewing for some time now. Kweku Smoke hasn’t held back, taking shots at Strongman in various instances, notably in his recent collaboration with Oseikrom Sikanii titled ‘Twatis’, where he likened Strongman’s international rap style to that of Lil Baby and his local delivery to Strongman himself. He even went as far as cautioning women against dating Strongman, citing financial reasons.
However, the recent release, ’32’, which features both Ko-jo Cue and Strongman, has become the centerpiece of this escalating rivalry. While ‘Case’ was an earlier retaliation by Strongman against Kweku Smoke’s disses, it’s ’32’ that’s grabbing attention now.
In ’32’, Strongman mercilessly fires back at Kweku Smoke. Without mentioning names explicitly, Strongman’s lyrics speak volumes. He cleverly implies that God isn’t akin to Kweku Smoke, suggesting a disparity in character and integrity. His subtle yet pointed jabs cleverly hit back at Kweku Smoke’s previous comments, implying that Kweku Smoke’s demeanor might not be aligned with godly attributes.
This ongoing exchange of verbal blows between the two artists has caught the attention of fans and industry observers alike. Strongman’s knack for wordplay and lyrical precision seems to have taken center stage in this ongoing feud.
As the back-and-forth continues, fans eagerly anticipate whether this collaboration will serve as the final chapter or merely fuel the fire for more heated exchanges between Strongman and Kweku Smoke.

Famed within the entertainment sphere as Samuel Dortey Kumah, or Sammy Kay, the celebrity blogger, has encountered legal troubles following his arrest and subsequent handover to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service.
The Cyber Security Authority issued a statement on November 16, 2023, outlining the reasons behind Sammy Kay’s detention, citing allegations of publishing sexually explicit material and the unauthorized use of images belonging to the Cyber Security Authority (CSA).
The High Court at Adenta has today, November 16, 2023, struck out a lawsuit brought against Mohammed Ismail Sharrif popularly known as Black Sherif, by Cruise People Ltd. The case was based on an alleged breach of a performance contract by Black Sherif’s team.
According to the information gathered from credible sources, Black Sherif was billed to perform on a Cruise Ship in Athens, Greece on August 19, 2023.
However, before the scheduled date for the show, the contract was unilaterally terminated by the promoter; Daniel Vanderpuje of Cruise People Ltd., alleging publicity breaches. Subsequent to the termination of the contract, the promoter demanded a refund of the deposit of US$ 20,000 from Black Sherif.
The Cruise People Ltd.’s demand for the deposit was resisted by Black Sherif’s team on the basis that the contract was terminated by the Cruise People. Black Sherif insisted that he was entitled to compensation for the unilateral termination of the contract.

The Promoter, Daniel Vanderpuye, aggrieved by the turn of events, instituted the court action for; a refund of the deposit paid, interest on the said amount, compensation for loss of revenue and profits, general damages for breach of contract, and costs. Black Sherif’s legal team; Dominic Brenya-Otchere esq., Kenneth Paa Kwesi Agyir esq. and Esther Addai esq. of Sam Okudzeto and Associates, entered conditional appearance and filed an application to strike out the suit on grounds that the dispute resolution clause in the contract stipulated that any dispute arising out of the contract shall be settled exclusively in the United Kingdom. On October 19, 2023, the Court ordered the parties to file written submissions, within two weeks, and adjourned the matter to the 16th day of November 2023 for ruling.
The learned High Court Judge, granted Black Sherif’s application, and noted that the subject matter of the dispute was not closely connected to Ghana. The judge was of the view that, the parties for all intents and purposes, wanted all disputes arising thereto to be resolved in the UK, and therefore struck out the Plaintiff’s writ and statement of claim as the action had been commenced in the wrong forum. So as it stands now, there is no suit pending against Black Sherif in respect of the contract between him and the Cruise People Ltd. A source close to Black Sherif intimated that if Cruise People Ltd. commences any action in the proper forum, they will counterclaim for the full contract sum, interest, and damages for breach of contract. The Plaintiff was represented by Lawyer Godwin Edudzi Tamekloe, the Director of Legal Affairs of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
