Nude Picture of Tiffany Leaks After Failed Blackmail Attempt

Various social networks have started buzzing with a topless nude picture of Ghanaian female rapper, Tiffany that were leaked following failed attempts by a blackmailer to extract huge sums of money from the rapper.

According to sources, a few weeks before the rapper travelled to the UK for a streak of performances, she was robbed at her home where her money, blackberry phone and other personal belongings were stolen.

She reported the case to the Tema Community 18 Police after the incident happen and although traumatized by the event, the rapper recovered quickly from the burglary and went to the UK for her shows and also focused on recording her upcoming debut album.

Tiffany has however not known peace after her performance at the Red Lipsticks music concert as she has been receiving calls from an unknown man who threatened to leak her nude pictures if she did not pay up. According to sources, it appears that the blackmailer got the nude pictures from Tiffany’s blackberry phone that was stolen from her home.

The blackmailer requested for 40,000 dollars which Tiffany bargained down to about 15,000 ghc. After an initial agreement to settle the blackmailer, negotiations failed and he came back to make further outrageous demands. Some preliminary investigation suggests that the blackmailer is a Nigerian based on the calls he made.

Over the weekend, a picture of Tiffany in a bathroom robe showing her breasts was leaked on blackberry messenger, Facebook and other social networks while the blackmailer threatens to release further pictures if his demands are not met.

According to sources, the rapper who is currently in South Africa promoting her new single, ‘Rock Ma Body’ featuring Killbeats is worried about the development but is committed to working on her music while the police continue investigations on the robbery and subsequent blackmails.

D-Black abandons Kwaku T In the Vodafone Copyright Infringement Case

Ghana’s Hip-Pop sensation Kwaku T finds himself stack against the odds, in what could potentially be a contemporary rendition of the biblical David and Goliath tale, as he faces a telecommunication giant in a litigation which is by far the biggest test yet for Ghana’s copy right protect laws.


He will not relent in becoming the first musician in Ghana to take on a corporate entity in the law courts and win, for the violation of his intellectual property rights.

False reports yesterday suggested that he and his partner in the suit D-Black had been paid off by Vodafone Ghana to withdraw the case from court but Kwaku T has denied this.

What actually emerged yesterday during their court session is that counsel for D-Black said his client has decided to pull out of the case leaving his buddy, Kwaku T in the cold. It remains unclear, however, where his pull-out was indeed influence by some pay-off.

The Ghana rep at the second edition of Big Brother Africa remains optimistic despite the latest development. In his own words: “The case has taken various twist and turns but we're on the winning side, if things are handled properly from here on in. They're just stretching the settlement and being disrespectful at the moment. It’s a joint civil suit and just last week they bought off my co-plaintiff D-Black.”

D-Black is said to have pulled out because he feels his career will be threatened should he continue with the case. His lawyer told an Accra Commercial Court Judge that the case will go on without D-Black since he was not interested in the case.

The two originally proceeded to prosecute their case in court after Vodafone Ghana became oblivious to letters form their counsels which requested of the telecom company to stop using the advert created with their song ‘Move’; of which their consent had not been sought.

Vodafone Ghana’s defence is that, they consulted COSGA before using the song but Kwaku T, who is not a member of COSGA, insists that COSGA could not have permitted the use of the song on their behalf. COSGA has refused to testify in the case.

“It’s a landmark case completely alien to Ghana judicial systems. We would be setting a precedent and a moral one at that by winning. If we win, the corporate multinational that wants to take advantage of the blood sweat and toil of the artist in Ghana will think twice,” Kwaku T said with conviction.

Rap artiste Kwaw Kese popularly known as Abodam was arrested by the Madina Police Wednesday afternoon in what was alleged to be a traffic offence.


The rapper who is also known as the King of the Streets was arrested in the company of friends.

According Fennec Okyere, Manager of Kwaw Kese, who confirmed the arrest to us, the arrest might be due to a disagreement with the Police over the alleged offence.

Kwaw Kese was later cautioned and released after he was detained. It is however unclear if the Police will pursue the matter further.

No MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA) for 2011?

Following the addition of ‘World Wide Act’ category to the 2011 MTV European Music Awards (EMA), which saw nominations for African acts for the Africa/ India/ Middle East regions, I have been wondering if that means that the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA) will not take place this year.


Voters in the Africa/ India/ Middle East regions had to chose between Nigeria’s Wizkid, Congo DR’s Fally Ipupa, Egyptian Abdelfattah Grini, Angolan Cabo Snoop, and South Africa’s Black Coffee and Scribe for a representations in the final ceremony. After weeks of voting Big Bang won for the Asia Pacific region and advanced to the finals along with Abdelfattah Grini (Africa/India/Middle East), Lena (Europe), Restart (Latin America), and Britney Spears (North America).It would be recollected that MTV started recognizing the works of African acts first on the MTV European Music Awards when the ‘Best African Act’ category was instituted in 2005 with 2face Idibia winning the nod. Freshly Ground won the award the following year and in 2007, Dbanj won the last nod before the MTV Africa Music Awards was launched. The MAMA has been holding since 2008 and last year’s edition was held in Lagos, Nigeria.However it is not clear whether the MAMA will hold this year since the usual buzz that leads to the main ceremony has been clearly missing. It’s already the second week in November, and there are no signs nominations, Road to MAMA parties among others. Has the MAMA been cancelled? Are we going back to the days of African acts competing for a single honour at the EMA or as it stood this year, competing with world acts?Meanwhile, Korean group, Big Bang won the ‘World Wide Act’ award at Sunday’s MTV Europe Music Awards ceremony in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Some Angry fan throws bottle at 4×4 on stage

Some angry fan threw a bottle at music group 4×4 while they were performing on stage in Tarkoradi Saturday.
The trio, made of Captain Planet, CoDed and Fresh Prince, was performing at an open-air concert at the SRC week celebration of the Tarkoradi Polytechnic.

The bottle hit CoDed (formerly Abortion) who angrily threw the mic away and walked off the stage.

Captain Planet confirmed the incident to Myjoyonline.com Sunday.

He said “They hit him with a bottle on stage so he went to the backstage but Fresh Prince and I were still on stage and we did the songs.”

He further explained that, “the guys (organisers) didn’t have any security and they allowed the town boys, so it was one of those rude boys from town who threw the bottle. The show was outside, it wasn’t in their auditorium.”

He added that it was rather unfortunate that they couldn’t pin-point the culprit for him/her to be apprehended.

Captain Planet revealed that CoDed did not sustain any physical injuries. “He just said the bottle hit him hard on the shoulder he is fine.”

The incident, which preceded their performance at the first of four-venue tour of Tic Tac – Tic Tac’s Club 2 Club tour – at the Vienna City Nite Club in Tarkoradi, prevented CoDed from performing at that event.

Captain Planet said “Fresh Prince and I alone stormed there and killed it at the Vienna City Nite club.”
