Reports reaching us indicate that Ghanaian musician Mzbel’s manager, Emmanuel Boafo Opare, popularly known as Mod Dee, was involved in a serious car accident earlier today, May 15, at the Aburi Road.
According to sources, the unfortunate incident occurred around 11:30 a.m. while Mod Dee was traveling back to Accra from Koforidua.
Bullet has alleged that the father of late singer Ebony Reigns pressured him into increasing the artiste’s royalty share from 20 percent to 50 percent, revealing that he recently paid the family $100,000.
Speaking in an interview on Okay FM with Nana Romeo, Bullet revealed that he recently paid Ebony’s father $100,000, an amount he described as representing 50 percent of the late musician’s royalties.
He explained that under Ebony’s initial agreement with RuffTown Records, the singer was entitled to 20 percent of the royalties. However, he claimed her father pressured him into increasing the share to half.
Bullet also alleged that Ebony’s father frequently demanded money from him over the years, including funds that had originally been set aside for publicity and promotional activities ahead of the artiste’s debut concert.

Despite the tensions, the music executive maintained that he chose not to publicly address the disagreements and continued to fulfil what he considered his obligations to the family.
“I gave Ebony’s father $100,000 recently, which is 50% of Ebony’s royalties. Ebony only had 20% in those shares, but her father bullied me into making it 50%.
“After the first-ever Ebony party, he insisted I give him his daughter’s money. The money was meant to promote and campaign for Ebony’s work, but I went with him to the bank and withdrew it for him. He doesn’t talk about it anywhere,” Bullet stated during the interview.
The RuffTown boss further accused Ebony’s father of publicly criticising him while failing to acknowledge the financial support and assistance he claims to have offered the family since the singer’s passing.
The legal battles surrounding the estate and legacy of the late Highlife legend, Daddy Lumba, have taken another dramatic turn. On May 14, 2026, an Accra High Court delivered a pivotal ruling that reshapes the ongoing dispute within the Ekuona family.
The core of the recent controversy lies in a leadership struggle that has plagued the family since before the musician’s burial. For months, the legitimacy of Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu as the head of the Ekuona family has been under intense scrutiny.
Following a series of internal disputes, the family reportedly moved to remove Kofi Owusu from his position, subsequently installing Abusuapanyin Kwabena Brefo as the new family head. Despite this internal shift, the legal proceedings had hit a snag regarding who truly represents the family interest in the eyes of the law.
During yesterday’s proceedings, the court addressed the transition of power head-on. The presiding judge ruled that:
Kwabena Brefo, the newly installed family head, must be added as the fifth defendant in the ongoing case.
Kofi Owusu no longer possesses the legal basis to present himself as the head of the family following his removal.
The plaintiffs must amend their writ to officially include Kwabena Brefo in the litigation.
Counsel for Akosua Serwaa expressed satisfaction with the ruling, noting that the inclusion of Brefo was essential because he is now considered the legitimate head.
“Our main concern is that [Kofi Owusu] has been removed as family head, so he no longer has the basis to present himself as such,” counsel stated.
The legal team for Kofi Owusu reportedly filed affidavits in opposition late Wednesday afternoon, but the court proceeded with the ruling regardless.
The case has been adjourned to June 29, 2026, providing the legal teams time to amend their filings and prepare their defense under this new leadership structure. For Ghanaians who hoped the “Lumba Saga” had reached its conclusion, this latest courtroom development suggests that the road to a final settlement remains long and complex.
An Accra High Court has ruled against the Ghana Police Service, ordering the institution to pay GH¢150,000 in damages for violating the fundamental rights of journalist Bridget Otoo and two others during the #OccupyJulorbiHouse protest.
The judgment, delivered on Thursday by Justice Brew, also directed the police service to pay GH¢30,000 in legal costs incurred by the applicants.
According to the court, officers involved in the incident acted outside the law and breached constitutional protections guaranteed to citizens.
Justice Brew reportedly described the conduct of the police during the protest as “unconstitutional,” citing incidents involving assault, unlawful detention, and obstruction of personal freedoms.
Details presented before the court indicated that Bridget Otoo was physically assaulted during the protest, with reports stating that her blouse was torn in the process.
Another applicant, Vanessa Edotom Boateng, was reportedly unlawfully detained and had her mobile phone confiscated after attempting to record alleged misconduct by officers.
The third applicant, George Gyening Anyang, was allegedly assaulted while livestreaming at a regional police station.
According to court documents, officers reportedly slapped, punched, and struck him with a baton and metallic belt.
In addition to the financial compensation, the court ordered the Ghana Police Service to issue an unqualified apology to the victims in the state-owned Daily Graphic newspaper.
The #OccupyJulorbiHouse protest gained national attention after demonstrators took to the streets to demand better governance, economic accountability, and social reforms.
The protest also reignited public debate over police conduct during demonstrations and citizens’ constitutional rights to free expression and assembly.
Ghanaian music executive D-Black has reacted to claims made by Bullet about his connection with singer Miss Forson, following accusations that he deliberately lured her away from RuffTown Records.
The controversy began after Bullet, during an appearance on Okay FM, accused D-Black of interfering in Miss Forson’s career shortly after she was introduced to the public.
“The first day I introduced Miss Forson, D-Black started messaging the girl. So, he took her from her label and ruined her career. The reason he was messaging her wasn’t for music,” Bullet had said.
D-Black has not directly addressed the accusations in detail, but he appeared to respond online after a fan questioned him about the allegations. Instead of issuing a lengthy statement, the rapper shared two screenshots and added the caption, “Take a wild guess.”
One of the screenshots, dated May 17, 2018, showed Miss Forson allegedly initiating contact with D-Black on Instagram. In the exchange, she greeted him, explained that she had lost his number and asked him to resend it.
Another screenshot captured a WhatsApp conversation from July 4, 2018, where D-Black appeared to advise the singer not to be influenced by negative comments surrounding Bullet.
In the chat, he told her, “when ppl call u and say be careful of Bullet, what ppl say shouldn’t matter to u. It’s all about where ur heart is.”

The posts appeared aimed at countering Bullet’s narrative by suggesting that D-Black and Miss Forson already knew each other long before her time with RuffTown Records. The messages also hinted that concerns about Bullet were already being discussed within industry circles at the time.
D-Black later shared another cryptic message on social media, writing, “Ppl will stab u in the back n offer u bandage after.”
Despite the online response, the businessman and performer stopped short of directly answering Bullet’s accusations, choosing instead to leave fans interpreting the screenshots for themselves.

RuffTown Records boss Ricky Nana Agyemang, otherwise known as Bullet, has opened up about what he describes as a painful chapter involving former signee Miss Forson and rapper D-Black.
Speaking during an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, Bullet accused the rapper of crossing professional lines by allegedly pursuing direct contact with the artiste without informing RuffTown Records.
Bullet said Miss Forson was still signed to his label at the time and had shown exceptional promise as a young musician. According to him, her talent and versatility made her one of the most gifted artistes he had worked with.
He claimed D-Black began reaching out to the singer shortly after they were introduced, insisting the interest went beyond music collaboration.

“The first day I introduced Miss Forson, D-Black started messaging the girl. So, he took her from her label and ruined her career. The reason he was messaging her wasn’t for music. He has a label, and I also have one, so if he wanted to work with the artiste, he could have told me.
“He had another mindset for messaging the girl because Miss Forson was super talented. She could play piano, guitar, and other instruments, but D-Black couldn’t give her a hit song. She even took a song I taught her while under my label to D-Black’s label,” he said.
Bullet also lamented what he believes is a deep lack of cooperation among players in the Ghanaian music scene. He argued that better communication between record labels could have avoided the fallout surrounding the artiste.
“There is no unity in this industry. This was a label-to-label affair; he could have sent me a message and told me he wanted to work with her.
“But he took the girl, sweet-talked her, messed up her career, and he thinks everything is fine. She is one talent I am pained about because she couldn’t blow,” he added.
Ruff Town Records boss Bullet has talked about a moment that changed the dynamic between him and dancehall artiste Stonebwoy, claiming the singer failed to respond when he reached out for a collaboration with the late Ebony Reigns.
During an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, Bullet revisited the early days of Stonebwoy’s rise in the music industry and detailed the role he says he played in the artiste’s journey after his exit from Samini’s camp.
According to Bullet, Stonebwoy was signed to Rough Money Records, a label he co-established with a former school senior before Ruff Town Records later emerged from the same foundation.
“After Stonebwoy left Samini’s camp, I was the one who signed him; he cannot deny it. I signed him under Rough Money Records; Rough Town came out of that. I co-founded that label with my senior from Ideal College. So I have helped Stonebwoy before,” he said.
Bullet explained that years later, after Stonebwoy had become a major name in the industry, he contacted him in hopes of securing a feature for Ebony Reigns, who was then signed to Ruff Town Records. He said the response he expected never came.

“When I was looking for Ebony’s feature, and I texted him, he ignored me. I was surprised, but I kept it cool,” he asserted.
Even so, Bullet maintained that there is no bad blood between them. He clarified that his occasional criticism of Stonebwoy should not be mistaken for personal animosity.
“There’s no beef between Stonebwoy and I,” he insisted.
The music executive also contrasted his relationship with Stonebwoy to the bond he shares with Shatta Wale, describing the award-winning dancehall artiste as more of a brother because of how long they have known each other.
Bullet noted that while he may not have directly contributed to Shatta Wale’s success, he witnessed the artiste’s journey long before fame arrived.
He further stressed that he is simply outspoken about issues in the entertainment industry and believes sharing his opinions about artistes should not automatically be interpreted as conflict or hostility.

Rufftown Records boss Bullet has urged organisers of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards to reconsider their stance on Shatta Wale, insisting the award scheme loses a certain spark whenever the dancehall artiste is absent.
During an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, Bullet argued that Shatta Wale’s return would add excitement to the annual event, especially because of the energy his fanbase brings to major shows.
“They have to bring back Shatta Wale. If only TGMA organisers would listen to my advice, they should bring him back,” he said.
Bullet explained that tensions between Charterhouse and the outspoken artiste appear to have eased over time, making a reunion between both sides realistic.

“Charterhouse and Shatta Wale are cool now, so if they bring Shatta Wale back, it will be fun. Since he’s also a Ghanaian musician, they should talk to him,” he stated.
According to him, the Shatta Movement fanbase contributes a unique atmosphere at events involving their leader, something he believes cannot be ignored.
“SM fanbase has some energy they carry at events that involve their boss. Even if someone insults me for saying this, I don’t care because that’s the truth,” he disclosed.
Bullet also opened up about his personal history with Shatta Wale, recalling the struggles they endured together long before fame and success entered the picture.

Popular Ghanaian influencer and businessman SoAfrican has reportedly been arrested by the Ghana Police Service over allegations linked to the assault and exploitation of women.
Initial reports indicated that details surrounding the arrest were unclear at the time, but further information later emerged during a police press conference.
Addressing journalists, Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department, Lydia Donkor, disclosed that the influencer was arrested in connection with an alleged criminal network accused of assaulting women and distributing monetised content online.

Police allege that SoAfrican took advantage of victims by using substances before illegally recording them.
Investigators further claimed that the suspect operated a Telegram platform where videos and images involving the alleged victims were shared.
According to police, SoAfrican was tracked to East Legon, where he was reportedly arrested on May 6, 2026.
Authorities say investigations into the matter are ongoing as they work to identify additional victims and possible accomplices connected to the alleged operation.
The case has sparked widespread reactions online, with many social media users expressing shock over the allegations involving the popular online personality.
