  • “It is none of my business if Shatta Wale fights former managers” – Sammy Flex

    “It is none of my business if Shatta Wale fights former managers” – Sammy Flex

    Widely recognised as Sammy Flex, the popular host of Class Showbiz, claims he has a strictly professional relationship with Shatta Wale and has no business interfering in his personal disputes because they are matters of private life.

    Sammy Flex clarified in a conversation with Graphic Showbiz that, in contrast to popular belief, Shatta Wale interacts with his fans on social media instead of using them to settle scores.

    “He occasionally uses Facebook Live to interact with his fans, but the majority of the things he says are unintentional. Regarding his altercations with other individuals, that is not my concern. He said, “I respect that he has a personal life to live.

    Being the manager of one of Ghana’s most well-known artists, according to Sammy Flex, has opened up a lot of doors and allowed him to visit places beyond his previous reach. (Read Sista Afia’s story, “Broken heart landed me in a psychiatric hospital.”)

    “Being associated with Shatta Wale, a well-known brand, has given me additional opportunities.” Being Shatta’s manager allows me to go to certain places,” he remarked.

    Sammy Flex stated he did not think it was a good idea for managers and artists to share secrets when asked about it by Graphic Showbiz.

    “He has his life to live and I have mine to live. I do not think it makes sense to add personal matters to the already heavy workload. We both understand that our relationship is solely professional.

    “He respects my decisions and pays attention to what I have to say. For example, when we decided to call off his stadium show, we discussed it for several hours until we both agreed that it should not go through,” he revealed.

  • The media has a mission to undermine Cheddar – Da Hammer

    The media has a mission to undermine Cheddar – Da Hammer

    Music producer and entrepreneur Hammer has responded to Nana Kwame Bediako’s humble beginnings and his presidential campaign by embarking on a media tour.

    The New Force’s founder, Nana Kwame Bediako, better known by his stage name Cheddar, urged Ghanaians to focus on the advancements he can bring about for the nation rather than questioning the source of his wealth.

    Speaking on Tuesday on Asempa FM’s Ekosiisen, Mr. Bediako stressed that rather than criticising or questioning those who have achieved great success, Ghanaians should celebrate and learn from them.

    “I can not question someone who earns money and chooses to spend it. Even if he wants to spend his money on beer and khebab, he can choose to use it however he pleases.

    He disclosed that he started making money while employed for a telecom company, which he eventually sold and started reselling leftover parts.

    “It started with scraps and eventually accumulated piles of scraps, which I then gave to the steel yards.” Steel is purchased by steel yards, and as of right now, a business called B5 also purchases scraps, which it uses to make iron rods and then sells.

    “I started a business in Ghana with the money I made, and I am investing in the business.” He questioned, “So what do Ghanaians like if they do not like this?”

    Hammer responded to this on social media, voicing concerns about possible media sabotage as they attempted to discredit him by posing queries regarding his wealth source.

    According to him, radio and TV hosts’ assertions that Ghanaians are curious about Cheddar’s source of wealth are baseless and are part of a plot to malign Cheddar’s reputation.

    He wrote; “Ghanaians aren’t asking anything. It’s the media that’s on an agenda to discredit him before he’s heard. Simplicita”.

    Emmy Awards: Quinta Brunson wins Best Actress in a Comedy, becomes the first Black woman in over 30 years

    Brunson became the first Black woman to win the category with “Abbott Elementary,” having previously won with “The Jeffersons” in 1981.

    Quinta Brunson became the first Black woman to win the best actress in a comedy category since Isabel Sanford did so in 1981 for “The Jeffersons.” Quinta Brunson played the tenaciously upbeat second-grade teacher Janine Teagues on ABC’s “Abbott Elementary.”

    She remarked, “I am incredibly happy to be able to live out my dream and act out comedy, and I love making ‘Abbott Elementary.’” “I know I say this all the time, but I just love comedy so much that I am thrilled to have this.”

    For Brunson, who also created and wrote “Abbott Elementary,” which follows a group of committed teachers at a Philadelphia public school, it was her first acting Emmy.

    Although she was also nominated for best actress at the time (Jean Smart took home the trophy for “Hacks”), she took home her first Emmy last year for best writing for a comedy series.

  • Elections 2024: SDA Church requests that the AG sponsor a bill to move the election day from Saturday, December 7

    Elections 2024: SDA Church requests that the AG sponsor a bill to move the election day from Saturday, December 7

    The Attorney General’s office has been requested by the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church leadership to sponsor a bill that would change Saturday, December 7, 2024, election day to reflect that it is the Sabbath Day for worshipping God.

    However, in order to guarantee an inclusive democratic process that would not purposefully prevent others from exercising their right to vote, the Church suggested that the election take place on the first or second Tuesday in November.

    According to the Church, this bill’s nature justifies its sponsorship by the Attorney General (Executive) and the Office of the Ministry of Justice. In light of this, I have requested to meet with the Honourable Minister.

    The Church stated that as a result of its fruitful interactions with the EC, the amendment is now required. The Constitutional Review Commission (CRC) in 2011 and the Electoral Reforms Committee in 2015 made proposals that are the basis for the church’s stance.

    “The Electoral Reform Committee (2015) and the Constitutional Review Commission (2011) recommended holding elections “not later than 60 days to the installation of a new President and Parliament on January 7,” citing in particular (i) Paragraph 265 on page 193. (ii) According to the church, the ECRC recommended changing the date in Proposal 8 from “December 7 to November 7 on pages 10 and 11.”

    “The Seventh-Day Adventist Church (SDA) is proposing the ‘Ghana Elections’ Date Amendment Bill,’ which would amend the non-entrenched Article 112(4) for Parliamentary elections to meet the period guaranteed in Article 63(2) for Presidential elections.”

    Encountering the Commission on Elections 

    The Church met with the Electoral Commission in June of last year in an attempt to secure the modification of the election day of December 7.

    A section of the petition to the AG states, “The leadership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church met with the Electoral Commission (EC) on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, in anticipation of changing the date for general elections from December 7 to the first (1st) or second (2nd) Tuesday of November.”

    “In a general election year, the Church suggested to the EC moving the date from December 7 to the first or second Tuesday of November. The meeting with the EC had a positive outcome. The SDA Church emphasised that the Commission had assured its leadership that it would be willing to examine the proposal.

    The Adventist Church states that this proposal aims to “ensure that no one is excluded from participating in the electoral process and help deepen electoral democracy.”

    Beautiful Annica after reading her husband’s kind and sweet comments, I went to his Instagram account to respond. In her post, she wrote: ”Such an absolute treasure I have for a husband! Thank you for the guidance, for the plenty jokes, for being a guiding beacon to our kids, and for having standards. The best travel partner there is. For our 19 years of being together and 15 years of being married, your little messages during the day, some out of nowhere, some planned, some on spur of the moment are just romantic and always make my day and never gets old.”
