Never Compare Sarkodie To Me, He Is A Baby – Tinny

For the numerous music lovers in the country and across the continent of Africa, Ghana’s fastest rapper and 2012 BET award winner, Sarkodie, is the best rapper in Ghana and it should take little for one to accept that for a fact after listening or seeing him perform.

Sarkodie’s colleague rapper, Nii Addo Quaynor popularly known as Tinny however cautions that Ghanaians should monitor the Tema based rapper for at least a decade before passing judgement on him as being the best in the country.

Speaking to Flexy on e.tv Ghana’s entertainment review programme, Talk Showbiz, Tinny mentioned that though Sarkodie is doing marvelously well in the music industry, he is still young.

“When Sarkodie ‘chop’ ten years, then we see,” he said in pidgin English.

“He is a baby but he is doing well. Yeah. He is taking Ghana to some level but I can’t rate him with myself just like Jay Z and Lil Wayne. There is no way you can compare the two. Never,” he continued when asked to compare his performance to that of Sarkodie in recent times.

“I wouldn’t have to compare myself to Sarkodie. He does Twi, I am Ga, you know. Like a defender and a striker, they are two different positions.

Tinny who is currently working on his fifth studio album revealed that his father is no longer his manager as his record label, Kankpe Records is currently under his management.

On Glo’s endorsement

In recent times, fans of the hip-life artiste have hardly seen him perform at any of the major music events and according to him, his endorsement of Globacom is the basis.

“In some way it has (affected me) because people always say, ‘we don’t see you on stage as before.

“Though you don’t see me on stage, you still hear my songs on the air. You might not be seeing me on stage but you can still get my video on youtube and watch it.”

He promised to be bigger in the new year stating that “2013 is action year. It is the regular champion year. It has been quite some time now but the people should watch out for new Tinny all together.”

I Am Not A Ghanaian Actor – Majid Michel

Ghanaian movie star Majid Michel has stated that he is not a Ghanaian actor but rather he is an actor from Ghana.

Majid made this statement which sounds controversial to some people at the press launch of Kofas Media’s new movie project “Amakye & Dede”.

During the Q & A section of the conference Majid Michel was asked if there is a funny bone in him and if there is how he can make viewers of “Amakye & Dede” laugh when it’s finally out.

This question came forth because Majid has not been casted for a lot of comic movies.

In respond to the question, Majid said that he believes acting as an art is universal and every actor has a challenge that he wants conquer

“Well I am an actor and I believe acting is an act and art is universal… I am not a Ghanaian actor; I am an actor from Ghana. So I was there as an actor and this director said he wants me for a film and I said what is it about and he said this is it.”

Majid also revealed that, being in a movie with Kalybos will be a challenge to him as an actor.

“Every actor has his challenge in front of him every time that what is next to challenge me, what is next to say this will be a challenge and he wants to take it on to prove to himself that ‘errm’ I have conquered the next challenge.”

“ Well you have to usually stick to what you are strong at, unless you are daring to go otherwise and then if you fail you come back to say that ok this is not for me. Being in a movie with Kalybos will be challenging and i can only see my success after the film so if it fails i will stay off it but now let’s see what happens.”

Majid Michel has starred in a lot of local and foreign movies and is currently part of the cast for Amakye & Dede.

Here’s Why Delay Can’t “Speak English”

 

Radio, television personality and entrepreneur, Deloris Frimpong Manso a.k.a Delay is known for her fluency in the local dialect, Akan/twi.

This often projects her as someone who has difficulty in speaking the queens’ language but the outspoken woman says that notion is misplaced.

According to her, she sees no sense in parading herself as an “English woman” when she has bills to pay.

“I don’t speak English or use English because, it does not bring money into my pocket. English does nothing for me.

“It is not that I did not study it, I did but it’s just a personal choice not to use it or speak it,” she said while interviewing web skit breakout star Kalybos in an episode of her Delay Show.

The Delay Show has hosted almost all of Ghana’s biggest celebrities.

Counsel for embattled Hiplife Musician Eugene Ashie, a.k.a Wisa Greid of ‘Ekiki Me’ fame, Jerry Agbenovor has abandoned his client at the premises of an Accra Court claiming the latter and his manager failed to properly negotiate the terms for his services.

He maintained that the musician and his manager had failed to properly negotiate the terms and conditions of his services and also remained tight-lipped over the exact amount to be paid to him as legal fees for his services.

Manager of the Musician has however promised to resolve the problem to ensure that the Musician is properly represented in court during the next adjournment date.

Jerry Agbenovor it would be recalled in defence for his client said he only showed a dildo and not his genitals during a live performance at the Accra International Conference Center.

That is why I want to accept every bit of criticism that has come my way in the ensuing hours”.

Change happens, deal with it – Peace Hyde

Hello and welcome to a Piece of Peace, your weekly dose of motivation and inspiration. This week I would like to share with you on the topic, “Change Happens, Deal with it.”

One of the biggest things to deal with is change. We are all creatures of habit and sometimes a change in your personal circumstances can be one of the most unsettling things that can happen to us. Coping with change can also be stressful.

It comes with new considerations and responsibilities. One of my friends who relocated from the UK about a year ago decided he had had enough of Africa.

He came to Ghana with a business plan and $20,000. His plan was to build a portable restaurant using a converted bus. Things initially looked promising and he managed to efficiently invest his money in setting up the business.

Now all that was left was for the customers to come to him. 5 months went by and the customers never came. Coupled with this, my friend realized how complicated things were in Africa. The new change of lifestyle began to weigh heavily on him. He started to miss the creature comforts of the UK. Simple things like having constant electricity and regular water supply.

He relocated back 6 months ago. He sold the mobile restaurant to another friend who bought it for half the price. The new owner decided to reduce the offering of the restaurant, slash the prices and relocate to places where office workers congregated during lunch. He also added a new service, a mobile car wash whiles you eat.

Business has started to pick up so much that he has made enough money to invest in another van for his mobile food business. You see the difference between him and my friend was how they both dealt with a new change in their lives.

For my friend who gave up on his dream, the new business terrain with the wider challenges in the economy made the new change unbearable. In contrast, the other friend accepted the change and adapted his predecessor’s methods to ensure that he achieved the results he wanted.

Sometimes our inability to cope with change can let us miss out on some amazing opportunities in life. As much as we may not like change, it is the only constant thing in life. Nothing will ever remain the same forever and it is important to live your life planning for how you are going to deal with the next big change in your life.

Try not to allow the fear of the unknown to control you. One of the biggest issues people have with change is the fact that, there is an element of the unknown and as a result if we cannot understand in a lot of detail how that change will affect us we become apprehensive. It is important to embrace whatever changes God has in store for you.

For some of us it can be as simple as changing your diet or choosing to be a better father. No matter whatchanges you need to make, learn to commit to those decisions and work diligently towards your goals without giving in to the pressures around you. And no matter what you do, always remember, be yourself because everyone else is taken.

Much love,

Peace Hyde.

Tattoos Don’t Make You A Gangster Or Criminal – Andrew Of Keche

One half of Keche, Andrew in a conversation has expressed his opinion about the misconception most people have about tattoos.

The singer, who has about 25 tattoos with majority of them on his left arm, felt the need to talk about how people judge others with ink.

‘’I have in a few instances encounter people who see you different because you have tattoos. I am an artist and I really appreciate artistic creations; to me tattoos are nothing but a form of inspiration in a way of appreciating art,’’ he stated.

Touching on why he would ink on his body permanently, Andrew said ‘’Aside art, tattoos are a way of showing loyalty to things that really mean the world to you. Lest we forget tattoos have been around for centuries and have served different purposes. So it is very important to understand why someone inks rather than automatically judge them.’’

To him, the three most important tattoos on his body is the daughter’s name, the group name Keche and an eagle.

‘’These three mean a lot to me, my daughter’s name (Giovanna) reminds me of that responsible role I have to play each day as a proud father. I decided to tattoo KECHE cos the group is our legacy.  We’ve been through a lot and anytime I look at it puts a smile on my face. For the eagle, it represents my ambitions, the eagle is always flying high and that’s exactly what i’m aiming for.’’

Rounding up our chitchat, Andrew hinted there is the possibility he might be spotted with new tattoos.

‘’Why not, if the need arises for me to ink more I will. I will always love art but to the youth my little advice is, fully understand the concept of tattoos before you ink so you don’t feel guilty later. Its more like a commitment to your girlfriend,’’ he concluded with a smile.

President Mahama Impressed Me But I Was Disappointed With The Journalists – KKD

Media mogul, Kwasi Kyei Darkwa (KKD) has expressed disappointed in the journalists who were present at President Mahama’s press briefing yesterday.

According to KKD who was speaking with Nii Arday Clegg on the “Morning Starr” Wednesday, he was very impressed with the President with the calm manner in which he answered the questions and the clarity in his answers.

He however stated that some of the journalists could have given their questions to their “smarter” colleagues to ask instead of doing it themselves.

 “I thought the President did a good job speaking very calmly and very clearly. My greatest disappointment, however, was with our journalists.

There was a bit grandstanding on the side of the journalists and you could tell very clearly that people had come there with predetermined questions instead of listening to what the President had to say.

Some of the journalists could have passed their questions on to their “smarter” colleagues to ask instead of doing it themselves,” he said.
