Controversial hiplife artiste Barima Sidney says he
will continue to torment the President and politicians
with his music until they make things right.
Barima Sidney made the revelation when he was
asked if returning to performing political songs will
not affect his music career, during an interview on
Hitz Entertainment News with Doreen Avio
Wednesday.
He said, “Even if it affects me, I’ve already made up
my mind to do it. There is a positive and negative
side to everything but you have to let the positive
outweigh the negative so no matter what I’ll go
through; I’m ready to go through it. Posterity will
judge one day”.
Sidney, who disclosed to Hitz Entertainment News
some time back that he was not going to do political
songs anymore, said he took that decision because
he was the only soldier in that fight.
“I faced a lot of challenges after my “Donkomi”
song and based on that I decided to just stop doing
political songs because it’s a very lonely road and
people also kept advising me to stop doing such
songs and do the normal ones so they can invite
me for shows.

“But it’s not about performing on stages. When you
visit the villages, they tell us, we are the ones who
the politicians listen to so we should continue and
we will be heard,” he noted.
Barima Sidney said he almost gave up but had to
return to doing political songs because he realized
that it was his calling and more especially now that
things are not going well in Ghana.
He has released a new single titled “Sikadiee
Basabasa” which talks about the current economic
situation being experienced in the country. The
song features Asempa FM’s Patrick Osei Agyeman
popularly known as Countryman Songo.
This he says is the first of many songs he is
releasing to torment the President and politicians.
He says, “If God permits, I’ll release songs every
two weeks to torment them till they set their
priorities right because most of us believe the
President is a youth and for that reason [he has] no
excuse to fail and besides, we want him to
succeed.”

I’ll keep tormenting the President - Barima Sidney

Arrest UCC lady...what she did is criminal - Socrates Safo
Outspoken popular movie Producer Socrates Safo
has called for the arrest of controversial student
leader-aspirant of the University of Cape Coast
(UCC) Nana Abena Korkor Addo for willingly and
knowingly recording herself dancing naked and
releasing it on social media.
Speaking on Peace FM’s “Entertainment Review”
Socrates stated that he initially sympathized with
the lady when he first saw the videos because he
thought it was her enemies or opponent who
released it to dent her image but he felt very
disappointed when the lady herself came out
through a separate video to admit she leaked the
videos herself.
“According to classification regulations under the
criminal code on publication of film or video, you
can’t do pornography where you have explicit
nudity. When you publish it, it’s criminal. So under
the law, what the lady has done is criminal. It is
different if her phone was stolen or missing or if she
recorded it for her private use, she is safe but for
her to come out and say that she published the
videos herself, I think she should be arrested”.
Socrates recounted how he came under serious
attack from the media, the public and stakeholders
of the movie industry when he released a particular
movie which was tagged as ‘soft porn’, adding that
if people think it was wrong to produce that movie
and they even criticized the title of that movie, then
it is only right that Korkor would be arrest and
questioned for indulging in such criminal act.

“If I should tell you what I went through based on a
film that I shot and what I went through, when the
same law was used against me and I am just
sitting here today with a similar or even more
serious incident and I can’t believe this lady is
walking freely after she came out to state
categorically that she released the videos herself”.
Two separate videos of a student of the University
of Cape Coast has went viral on social media,
showing a curvy lady who is said to be contesting
for the position of President of the Students
Representative Council (SRC) of the school, dancing
naked inside her hostel.
After the videos were released on social media,
names of certain prominent male Lawyers and
Politicians popped up that they allegedly had sexual
affairs with her, but some of the individuals
mentioned in her publication have denied having
any sexual relationship with her.
The Central Regional Police command started
investigating the leakage of the tapes before Nana
Abena Korkor Addo; a biomedical and forensic
science student came out through a separate video
to admit she leaked the videos herself.
Meanwhile, head of Communications for the
University, Major Kofi Baah Bentum (rtd) disclosed
in an interview with Starr FM that Nana Abena
Korkor Addo left campus immediately after the
videos came public and has not returned since.

KKD's account
As I slowly nibbled her nipple with both hands……
unto her bum, she slid her hand down from my
back to my waist line, and touched my crotch. We
kissed again for over a minute before I caressed
her face and thighs.
She rested her bum on the sink and parted her
thighs. We kissed some more as unfastened my
zipper and she ……nibbled my ear.
We made love for nearly 11 minutes after which she
sat on the toilet seat and wiped her face with a
towel. I washed my face and wiped myself with
tissue, then we both re-arranged our clothes, she
set her hair back in place. While she was tidying up
her hair, somebody knocked on the unlocked door
and said Kofi had rung that the program is about to
begin.
We came out of the bathroom within a moment of
the knock. Effie and I kissed in the living room and
left with Akua and Kofi. We headed for the stairs as
we converse. Effie and Akua walked me to the
entrance of the fashion show.
An usher in a branded T-shirt then asked to lead
me to my seat. Effie said they were going to help
with guests at the entrance as I was led to my seat.
I sat through an almost two hour thirty minutes
show and at the end looked to find Effie.
On not finding her by the poolside, I walked into the
lobby area where some guests had returned to. I
sat in a seat where there was a good view of
guests movement in the lobby. I sat there with Kofi,
Benny and other guests who were getting drinks.
We had a club sandwich but I walked up to the
models area to see if I could find Effie.
I took she was busy and came back down to………
Kofi, Benny and other guest in the lobby in the hope
that she will come by. After some forty minutes and
more, I waited in the lobby. A gentleman in a
uniform came over and spoke politely that my
presence was required at the airport police station
to help with investigations.
I asked what the matter was and the officer advised
that I would be informed. I left my drink and called
my driver to pick myself and the police officer up. I
noticed another police officer who had come into
the lobby too, to join a pickup. We drove after the
pick to the police station. This is my true statement.
I have been told that I can correct and or alter
anything I wish. I made this statement at my own
free will.

I Can Do A Test On Live Television To Prove That Am Not HIV Positive-Actor Hanks Anuku
There were reports some weeks ago that the
A-list Nigerian actor known as Hanks Anuku
had acquired the deadly HIV/AIDS and
intentionally infected his wife with the disease.
The Nigerian actor who spoke to Nana Aba
Anamoah on TV3’s morning show “New Day”
today, February 24th, 2015 has disclosed that
he does not have HIV/AIDS as reported by
several blogs in Nigerian and Ghana.
The Nigerian Actor who is popularly known for
his gangster and action roles in movies stated
emphatically that, he was not HIV positive.
He also exclusively told the host, that, he has
even never visited Zambia or Liberia as
reported too.
Nana Aba Anamoah then pushed the question
again, and the actor said that he was ready to
be tested live on Televison if she wanted.
The actor who is staunch Roman Catholic who
also worships occasionally at T.B Joshua’s
church said that, even the blood of Jesus
wouldn’t allow such ailment in his body.
“Oh God have mercy. It’s false. I woke up one
morning and my phone rang in such an
unusual form and when I answered I was told
about this story.
But I told the caller that he was person calling
a wrong number. But after a while more calls
kept coming in so I prayed to God and asked
him to forgive not just me but everyone who’s
spreading such rumor.
I thought it was a joke but after a while, it was
running like wildfire in my country Nigeria. I
asked myself why me? I am only trying to do
something good here so why would someone
want to condemn me when I haven’t done
anything? I am doing what God says I should
do by letting people know that this or that is
not good for you. I didn’t make myself a celeb.
God did it”.
And they probably don’t know that whatever
they are throwing at me that is evil is going to
turn out for my good. And I am here to defend
it because I don’t have AIDS, I don’t have HIV.
“I have never been to Zambia or Liberia. I have
only been to Sierra Leone to visit Tijan Kabar
when he was President. I have never seen the
Zambian women how they look like let alone
sleep with 80 of them. There are too many
women in Ghana and I haven’t even had the
time to pick up on one because my mind is
pre-occupied with many things like writing
and travelling around to know the country.
They can bring the evidence if they want. The
names of the women, their addresses, the
date I travelled and all that. I am ready to take
them on big time”.
The Actor, whose wife and two kids are in
Nigeria, admitted that the rumor had some
effect on his family who were initially bothered
but stood firmly by him.
“Initially I thought it was going to tear me apart
especially when my family started getting
worried about it.
My “wifey” called me and said Honey; don’t
mind them; that’s the way it is. When I have
the time I do go back to Nigeria because I
need a peace of mind for what I am doing
because in Nigeria when I move around
people follow me. I have a lot of fans around
the world because a lot of the youth are
impacted positively by what I do in the
movies”.
I always wanted to be a pilot - Joselyn
Dumas
Ghanaian actress and TV host, Joselyn Dumas has
revealed she always wanted to become a pilot but
simply lacked the courage to continue when it got to
the part of taking her flying lessons.
Speaking in a recent interview with Pulse Ghana,
the curvaceous actress said she had the
opportunity to proceed with her aim in that regard
back in Arizona, the United States but added that
the huge money involved was also part of the
challenges she faced.
“I wanted to be a pilot, I had an uncle who was a
pilot - Uncle Frank Opare, I thought he was the
smartest person on earth. I got an opportunity to do
a bit of the flying lessons in Arizona but I chickened
out; I don’t know why, plus the money was too
huge, it was a lot of money.”
The Showdown actress said she later realised it is
not all that difficult to become a pilot although she is
today well known as a TV host and actress.

“I realised it didn’t take so much to become a pilot.
You just have to pay for the lessons really and get
the hours in. Obviously the theory aspect of it
comes but the main thing is, you need to put in the
hours. But I wanted to be a pilot, believe it or not.”
Well, it seems the aviation industry’s loss is the
movie industry’s gain as Joselyn Dumas is now one
of the most talked-about Ghanaian actresses and
TV hosts. She made her film debut in 2009 in the
movie, Perfect Pictures.

VGMA 2015: Nominees to be announced on Friday
The journey to music’s biggest night in Ghana
began with a call for nominations which was
answered by musicians from all genres and this
paved the way for the Vodafone Ghana Music
Awards (VGMA) Board to commence sitting.
The Board had the tortuous task of reviewing
hundreds of entries, categorizing and shortlisting
them into the various categories to be awarded.
After many hours of Board deliberations and
numerous sittings, the 2015 VGMA Board has
completed its work and it’s ready to make public,
the nominees list for this year’s event.
The excitement and anxiety is building up, the wait
and the guess work of who will be nominated for
what and who will miss the train would be over in a
few days. The event is set to take place at the
plush La Palm Royal Beach Hotel this Friday 27
February.
The event, strictly by invitation, is a preview of what
to expect at the main event in terms of organization
and it will be attended by a tall list of A-List guests
who will comprise of the crème de la crème in the
entertainment industry, artistes and some hundred
fans of VGMA selected from various VGMA social
media activation.
The theme for this year’s VGMAs is ‘Ignited By
Passion’ which seeks to celebrate the passion and
love of the Event by the 25 million music fans in
Ghana who have remained faithful to the scheme
over the past sixteen years. This will be done by
involving them fully in all aspects of the Festival’s
activities starting from the launch and right through
to the main awards night. Selection will be mainly
done via social media.
This year’s event has seen some major changes
already, the inclusion of a Reggae/ Dancehall
Artiste of the year and the re-definition of the New
Artiste of the year as well as Music Video Directing
categories. Organizers maintain that these changes
have been made based on a general review of the
scheme consistent with its mantra of keeping the
scheme fresh and in synch with current trends.
According to the organisers, Charterhouse, this
year’s launch is a combined launch and Nominees
Party and if previous launches are anything to go
by, one can expect a classy red carpet event which
will preceded the actual program, a well decorated
walk way to the event grounds on the theme, ignited
by passion, lots of paparazzi, socialization and
partying with stars. The event is expected to be on
full of glitz and glamour.
The road to the most anticipated event on the GH
entertainment calendar would be cleared in a few
days, we may not know who will get cut or who will
be nominated for what at this moment but one thing
is for certain, the controversy over who should
have been nominated and who shouldn’t have been
will begin soon after the list of nominees list is
released. However, in the midst of all the
controversies don’t forget to vote for your favourite
artistes should they make the cut.
The 16 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards is a
Charterhouse Ghana event, sponsored by Vodafone
Ghana, supported by STAR and GHOne TV, Ignited
by Passion and Powered by 25 million Fans.
