Asem Clears Rape Allegation

After Several months he refused to comment about rape allegations leveled against him some time this year, Ghanaian rapper Asem, born with the name Nana Wiafe Asante Mensah, has finally replied critics via his new single titled ‘Last Song’, produced by Magnom.

The song’s lyrics tried to tackle the problems that he went through the year, from rape allegations and his GLO deal to his issues with Lynx Entertainment. The song, he said, was his last for the year 2011, labeling the year as tough for him.

Its lyrics spoke about how he was not afraid of certain people who wanted to take his shine away from him. He also took some time to describe his kind of women, possibly trying to hint that the girl in the rape brouhaha was not his type. “I like girl wey dey shoto with glory, independent girls with their bottom glory,” he rapped.

“If I didn’t say it they say I say it. I didn’t rape, they say I raped. They get like I stop singing. But because of GLO, I’m satisfied. This be the last song of the year, so lend me your eyes. I know year you have been waiting for this.” Sometime this year, the hip-hop musician allegedly drugged, raped and impregnated a teenage girl.

The girl’s name was given simply as Queenie and her real age remains a mystery. She claimed to be 17 but her mother swore heaven and earth she was 15. The matter got complicated as both daughter and mother said the pregnancy had been aborted and that the alleged rape happened last year but no police report was made.

Asem flatly denied all three allegations but said he would not pass comments on it publicly because his management intended taking a legal action against his accusers. Not long after, Asem parted ways with Lynx Entertainment to form his record label.

Asem is a product of the Ghana Institute of Journalism and had his secondary education at St. Peter’s Senior High School. He is currently one of the best artistes that Lynx Entertainment ever recorded and is best remembered for hit songs like ‘Give Me Blow’, ‘2010 Filla’, ‘Wu B3 Da Ntem’, ‘No More Kpayor’, ‘School De Be’ and ‘Pigaro’.

The Real Reason Why Sarkodie Pulled Out Of The T-Pain Show Unveiled

Kelvin Poku Boateng, CEO of Kumasi's premier event management group, Homeproud Entertainment, has debunked all assertions and rumors making rounds in the country that, the undisputed fastest rapper in the country, Sarkodie might just not make it for the much anticipated grand event which will feature himself and two of the nation's finest musicians, Kwabena Kwabena and Becca at the "24th nite concert" slated for the Royal Lamerta Hotel in Kumasi.
The young, intrepid and industrious chap Kelvin, in a strongly worded statement to Communication Strategist and Blogger, Kwabena Agyeman-Kobia, intimated that his attention had been drawn to a publication on PeaceFMOnline.com citing other reasons for the 'Azonto King's exit from the T-Pain show, saying the Tema whizz kid who has earned himself the accolade of "King of Azonto" with his rap dexterity, will be performing to his teeming fans in Kumasi and that the Garden City would be witnessing the true definition of Azonto on the 24th of December.
In a related development however, the rapperholic has confirmed his participation in the Kumasi event in a radio interview with DJ Apuzo of Luv 99.5FM in Kumasi on his late afternoon show, 'the drive time.'

Actress Nana Ama MacBrown out with 2Toff

Hip life duo, Ulrich Addy (Red Eye) and Richard Oguns (Ogunskele) who make up 2Toff, have released yet another song "I’m Sorry" featuring Nana Ama MacBrown.

According the duo who have three albums to their credit, their latest, I’m Sorry will take Ghana by storm especially bringing Nana Ama MacBrwon on board.
Asked why they went in for Nana Ama MacBrown and not Efya, Irene, Becca or any other female artist who are already known music artistes, 2 Toff said Nana Ama MacBrown can be considered as one of the best female musician a fact most people are unaware of.
“We realised Nana Ama MacBrown has a very good voice after we listened to her on a few occasions, her voice is perfect that is why we featured her on our new single,” 2Toff said.
Their latest, "I’m Sorry", which is set to be released next week was recorded, mixed and mastered at 2 Toff studios.
2Toff believes despite football grabbing the attention of Ghanaians, music will take its rightful place on the scene in the not too distant future.
“The industry is gradually collapsing because all the attention has been shifted to soccer. Ghanaian music is already out there on the international market but a lot more needs to be done to make it flourish,” they added.
“We went away for some years but we are fully back. We know our fans missed us and we missed them too. We are now growing bigger and better and we believe nothing is going to stop us from what we enjoy doing most.
When contacted, the bubbly actress cum singer disclosed that the ability to sing gracefully has always been there, but was awaiting the the right moment.
According to her, she will venture into full time singing very soon.
The last album 2Toff released was titled "Back Again" and comprised tracks like Ma Swagga Back, My Soul, Yebre Mo Odo ft S.K Original, Hosla and Mama.

Buk Bak denies ditching 4x4

Music duo, Buk Bak, has denied stories making the rounds that the group deliberately ditched music trio, 4x4, during their album launch at the Osu Oxford Street Friday, December 9.

Buk Bak is widely credited with discovering and guiding 4x4 into the phenomenal trio it is today and while Buk Bak’s name was among the list of artistes billed to perform at album launch, they failed to show up.
Soon after the successful launch of the album, which saw all the other billed artistes performing, Captain Planet, a member of 4x4 expressed his disappointment to Myjoyonline, saying their ‘fathers’ and mentors did not show up to support them.
He said Buk Bak did not give any indication that they were not going to turn up for the launch and was therefore surprised at their absence.
As at news time that Myjoyonline contacted Captain Planet, he said Buk Bak had still not contacted them to say why they failed to turn up for the launch even though they were invited. While he will not call it a sabotage, he will not rule out the possibility.
But Buk Bak refuted the claim in an interview with Myjoyonline. Bright Boateng popularly known as Blinks Sparkles, a member of the group said “If it’s coming from my boys (4x4) then I will be surprised …”
He explained that, “Prior to the day of the show something came up, something that we can’t disclose. I called one of the boys and told him [something urgent came up] so I wouldn’t be able to make it so I had to go take care of it out of town." Brothers
Bright said he knew 4x4 would understand, stating “I spoke to CoDed about it, he was like cool.” Bright lamented however, “I felt disappointed myself for not showing up.”
Ronny Coaches, another member of Buk Bak quizzed, “What will Buk Bak have against 4x4?” explaining that “from day one we’ve been with them … we’ve been like brothers since day one, nothing won’t stop us from being on their show and we don’t have any misunderstanding with them.”
Bright vehemently denied having any beef with 4x4, stating “I can’t hate on my own success. This is something I started so why should I hate on my own success?”
