Gov't should invest in me - Stonebwoy

By


Winner of Best International Act, Africa at the just ended BET Awards, Livingstone Etse Sakley popularly known as Stonebwoy has said that Ghanaians must invest in artistes.

He was answering a question on what Ghanaian musicians should do to develop their individual arts to make them more internationally acknowledged.

“We need to invest in our artistes, everything takes money; even the government of Ghana takes loans so how much more a single artiste.

“An artiste is just a person and I represent a country so I believe that if anything it should be the country that should invest in me,” he added.


He was speaking to Black I on Daybreak Hitz (Showbiz review) on Hitz Fm, Tuesday.

Stonebwoy lost to his Nigerian friend, Patoranking, who took the Best New Act at the just ended MTV Africa Music Awards, held in Durban, South Africa over the weekend.

A day after the MTV Music Video Awards in Durban, South Africa, Self acclaimed dancehall king Shatta Wale tweeted “some Ghanaians are too popular in America not Africa lol”.

His tweet is believed to mock Stonebwoy who lost the award to Nigeria’s Patoranking.

Reacting to Shatta Wale’s post, the ‘Baafira’ hit-maker said “it is a comic statement, it doesn’t hurt, maybe he was writing a personal thing so it’s not very specific for me to understand that statement” adding “at least I was nominated”.

Stonebwoy confirmed that he and his management are currently in talks with KIA for an ambassadorial deal.

He said “they approached us and we are in talks, if it goes through, the whole of Ghana will know.”

He said Ghanaians should expect a lot of things like collaboration with Nigeria’s Burna boy and AKA in the coming months.

He thanked his fans for their support for Bhimnation (his popular mantra).

Emma Nyra, Ubi Frankling open up on their rift

By
It is no longer news that Triple MG boss, Ubi Franklin and his record label first lady, Emma Nyra have called it quits. Yes, and it was not a matter they resolved at a roundtable, the once chummy-chummy duo took each other to the cleaners and put up a bit of a show on social media to fill their fans in on all the shindig that went down. At a point in their creamier than cream relationship, the duo were virtually inseparable, which set tongues wagging that they must have been more than mere friends. While the hint of a relationship was being dropped around, neither Ubi nor Emma saw anything wrong with it. Until the song changed! According to reports, the song changed for them when Ubi Frankin proposed to Nollywood actress, Lilian Esoro, presumably, shunning his ward who has been waiting in the wings for years. The song went from sorry to sad when Emma Nyra reportedly blurted out in an interview that she was never romantically involved with Ubi. Now, the sad song went very bad wh...
