‘Destiny’s Child’ tells a story of three poor sisters;  Chalyne [Helen Asante], Nana Akua [Nana Akua Addo] and Denise [Roselyn Ngissah] who loved music and at their young ages, they danced at various venues in Accra to make a living after their father’s demise.

‘Destiny’s Child’ talks about the personal choices people make that either grows or brings them down. It addresses various life problems as well as finding answers to these problems. It also tackles many issues that are ignored by newly-rich-people.

The movie is currently being shot on locations in Accra. Also good technical experts have been employed to work on it lead by Nollywood director Willie Ajenge and produced by Hau Of  Kadewe Films.

Kapusta - Me Daye [My Dream]! Suzzy Williams Cautions Mimi, Eazzy, Tiffa...

The Late Suzzy Williams Cautions Mimi, Eazzy, Tiffany & Mzbel!

Ghanaian actress Suzzy Williams’ death came as a big surprise to many because of her age and the fact that, she was on top of her acting career by then.

Though she died several years ago, in all indications, the late actress is somehow abreast with what is happening with the entertainment industry in Ghana. She has therefore sent a strong warning to four of the female musicians in Ghana; Mimi, Eazzy, Tiffany and Mzbel.

Mimi has in recent times attacked and insulted journalists for what she contends as attack on her personality.
Eazzy was also rumoured to be warming the bed of a young Black Stars player who plays his trade in France. Though nothing substantial came out of the rumour, the news seems to have gotten to the fallen actress in her grave.

Mzbel was also alleged to have beaten the hell out of a uniformed Police Officer after being arrested for Traffic Offences.

Tiffany on the other hand was reported to have had sexual escapades with American R&B artiste Mario, who recently performed in Ghana. Her management has however come forward to debunk the rumour.


It appears all of these have gotten to the fallen actress who was also known as Sharon Stone as a result of her sex appeal on screen. Suzzy has warned the four musicians with these words “They should be extra careful in this world, because life is so precious than jewels and pearls.”



Suzzy Malaika Williams revealed the above in a dream of Kapusta, a new creative hip life artiste. In his released single ‘Me Daye’ [My Dream], Kapusta went to bed in an angry mood.

In his dream, he was dead. He then got the opportunity to meet and interact with some of the departed souls, notably from the entertainment industry in Ghana. He met the likes of late comedians, actresses as well as musicians.

Born Ntim-Gyakari James, Kapusta is one of the great talents Kumasi Anglican Secondary School has produced.

He started as a chorister at a very tender age. Aside the fact that he composes, writes and performs brilliantly, he is also pursuing a Diploma in Marketing course at the Institute of Professional Studies (IPS), Legon.

He has worked on numerous great tunes in the music industry with already established artiste like George Jahraa, Ofori Amponsah, Kofi B, Okyeame Quophi, Kwaw Kesse, Shatta Rako among others.

Currently he is signed to Emklan Music a subsidiary of Emklan Group of Companies with Okyeame Quophi as C.E.O.

His upcoming album ‘Yese Me H’adwen’ has great tunes like ‘Me Daye’, ‘Daben’, ‘Pe Wodie’, ‘Grabo No’, ‘1000 Kisses’. The featured the likes of Okyeame Quophi, Reggie Zippy, Kesse [MTN Project Fame].

Actress Khareema Aguiar & Ingrid Alabi Beat Up A Man!

When news broke out that hip life artiste Mzbel, real name Nana Ekua Amoah had assaulted a police man; I was not that shocked since the saying ‘women are weaker vessel’ is never true.

Information reaching GhanaCelebrities.Com says that two Ghanaian actresses Khareema Aguiar and Ingrid Alabi knocked the hell out of a man at Spintex Road last night.

Our source said due to the heavy traffic at the Spintex road, every driver was playing smart to outwit each other – overtaking was the order of the day.

The two actresses were in Ingrid Alabi’s Honda – metallic grey car driving towards Baatsona when a young man signalled them to allow him to overtake them.

Ingrid who was behind the wheels refused his gestures. She didn’t see the reason why the man wants to dodge the traffic at their expense.

According to our source, this made the driver who was driving a Honda Bus forcibly and rudely overtaking them to enter their lane, in the process scratching the Actress’s car.

Upon realising the graze at the car, they prompted the driver to stop, so they can talk about it but the driver didn’t budge until they got to a traffic free road – then the driver sped off.

They managed to chase him for some time until they got to Ecobank Junction where they approached a policeman to help them by arresting and interrogating the driver but the uniformed officer ignored their pleas.
So the chase continued until they managed to overtake the vehicle and parked in front of him. The source continued that, the situation made the man angry; he got up from the vehicle and went straight to Ingrid to hit her.

Ingrid was said to have pushed the man aside, with Khareema coming to join the fracas. Soon, there were exchanges of blows between the three. The man was said to have been beaten thoroughly – he was subjected to the beatings of his life.

The crowd that gathered at the venue showed admiration for beating up the man. They were happy that the two actresses gave the man those dirty beatings that several years ago boxer Azumah Nelson would have subjected any of his numerous opponents to.

The man quickly ran to his vehicle and sped off. In actual fact, what men can do, woman can better.
Ingrid Alabi was the first runner-up of Miss Ghana 2004. She appeared in ‘Prince Bride’, a movie produced by Venus Film Productions. Also has also featured in ‘Tears Of Woman’, ‘Playboy’, ‘Girls Connection’.

Khareema Aguiar is the well known of the two actresses. She recently revealed to GhanaCelebrities.Com in an exclusive interview that her foundation has acquired a land at Kasoa to build a home for the aged in the Ghanaian society.

She shot into fame with a lead role in the television series ‘All That Glitters’. She has several movies to her credit.

Upcoming Comedy TV Series: ‘The Miser’ Starring Kofi Adjorlolo, Selassie Ibrahim, Nana Ama McBrown, Nadia Buari, John Dumelo, Roselyn Ngissah, Grace Nortey & Others…

In the coming weeks, Ghanaians will be introduced to a new TV series ‘The Miser’ from the stables of Smarttys Management and Productions, the same company that produced the movie ‘C.E.O.’, which featured the likes of Nollywood actor Desmond Elliot as well as Nadia Buari, Ekow Blankson and Roselyn Ngissah.

The lead role in the ‘The Miser’, Efo Kojo [Kofi Adjorlolo] plays a wealthy farmer who hides the fact that he is rich from his family and friends and tries to live an economical life. Aside being strict, he tries to dominate his family with stingy ideologies.

The story line also dwells much on agriculture and addresses wastage in the Ghanaian society. The series features some of the veteran actors in Ghana.

Speaking to GhanaCelebrities.Com after the press preview on how she managed to get the veterans back on set, Selassie Ibrahim, the CEO of Smarttys Management and Productions said “I’m of the old breed, so it was easy getting them.”

Her company produced the ‘C.E.O.’ movie last year, which according to her was a box-office success. In explaining further why her company had moved from producing movies to series. She said, they [company] want to have something that will constantly be aired on TV.

“We thought we should come out with something that will constantly be on TV. The movies you produce it, sell and people buy and watch in their homes but the series is on TV – its running on various channels, so you can see your work and appreciate it and then you know you are imparting on people.” She defended her outfit.

Most producers after failing to achieve their targets turn to move to other departments.

Selassie Ibrahim expressed shock when GhanaCelebrities.Com asked her if her previous movie didn’t sell hence her decision to move to producing series. She denied that assertion, continuing that “Go and find out from the marketer [Washington DC]. I regretted giving it to him to market. He made so much money – oh my goodness, go and find out from him”

Also, she refused to give out figures and challenged GhanaCelebrities.Com to contact the marketer of the movie to ascertain the truth.

Currently, two local television stations; GTV and TV3 as well as Dstv will be telecasting it when it finally hits the screens.

It was produced by Selassie Ibrahim and directed by John Izedonmi. It features stars like; Kofi Adjorlolo, Selassie Ibrahim, Nana Ama McBrown, Nadia Buari, John Dumelo, Roselyn Ngissah, Grace Nortey, James Gardner, Henry Agba, Beverly Afaglo among others.

Ghanaian Movie Stars at Canne Film Festival

The Organisers Of The ‘Mario Live In Ghana Concert’ Are Bunch Of Jokers !

Even though GhanaCelebrities.Com is not a direct media partner of the 233 Connect shows, as the biggest entertainment focused website in Ghana, we join the promotion of most Ghanaian oriented entertainment events, whether it happens in Ghana or anywhere in the world.

We have over some time now done free publicity for these shows and the just ended Mario Live In Ghana Concert was not an exception. It is no news that Ghanaians always complain of not being treated well by other nationals. But then it its more painful and disgusting when your fellow Ghanaian treats you like you are a worthless and useless chap wandering the streets of Accra.

For me, I strongly believe respect is earned, so if someone disrespects you, all you have to do is to reciprocate. Why show respect to someone who doesn’t respect you?

The organisers of the Mario Live In Ghana Concert, 233 Connect are a bunch of disrespectful, confused and scamming individuals.

I will start with how the organizers of the above show scammed Ghanaians to buy tickets on the merit that, J Holiday will be performing alongside Mario in Ghana.

How on earth do you advertise and sell tickets to people knowing that one of the main performers-J. Holiday will not be able to show up.

Prior to writing this, I decided to find out from Chris-Vincent the legal implication of these things that event organizers are currently resulting to in Ghana.


I was told that, if you purchase a ticket (accept an offer) based on the fact that you are going to be given a performance from J Holiday, the moment the event organizer fails to honour that after the purchase, he has breached the contract upon which the of sale of the ticket was made…

Ghanaians are getting sick of organizers scamming us all the time by falsely advertising performers who never show up. Instead, they replace them with others after tickets have been bought (contract made). This is the new scam in town championed by event organizers and that is exactly what happened over the weekend.

Apart from scamming Ghanaian ticket purchasers, event organizers have always disrespected the media in Ghanaand 233 Connect just confirmed this. For whatever reasons, the organisers have been known to conduct late press conferences before any of their shows, the reasons has always been the same – delay in flights and all that, so we don’t bother to ask again.

Entertainment reporters are smart chaps but as to why they decide to work with unprofessional and disrespectful individuals in Ghana amazes me. Let me talk about the press conference before the show.

Late Press Conference:
Organising late press conferences has always been the hallmark of event organisers since time immemorial. Though 233 Connect are not the only organisers doing this, they seem to have penchant for that.

Did I hear anyone say J.Holiday opting out was the reason for the delay in the press conference? No way! They have done it before. They did it at Fabulous’ show and they will continue to do it.

The press conference which was supposed to have started at 1:00pm started over two hours late. For someone who goes to events, a delay such as that was normal but the events after the press conference was just abnormal and avoidable.

As at 12pm, media houses were assembled at the venue and there was no sign of anybody. Funny enough, the reason that quickly trickled in was that, the organisers had gone to the airport to pick up Shontelle – and who is she anyway? Shontelle has been quickly flown in to replace the much advertised JHoliday. Gosh! Another scam…

Shontelle Replacing J.Holiday:
Oh! I thought it was only Ghanaian artistes – for lack of respect, who can be called to join a show the same day the show was billed to take place. From Shontelle’s own words, she just received a call at midnight and decided to jump in.

Guess the reason why the organizers said J Holiday could not make it to Ghana? His wife was due to give birth…LOL…Before the organisers contacted JHoliday for the show, didn’t he know his wife was due to give birth before the show?

Even if he was contacted via an agency, this should have been known or communicated to the organisers. Why would I buy a ticket to watch Jay Z and later be told Beyonce has replaced him?

Obviously, the organisers didn’t care about how the ticket buyers will feel about anything; they just swapped the artistes with some baseless excuse. This is not even the first time, it happened during the Fat Joe and Sean Kingston show, when patrons were told at the eleventh hour that Sean has been replaced by Omarion.

This is a scam and we have to let these organizers know they can’t continue to breach contracts. Ghanaians give them their money in return for advertised artistes, a swap is a total breach and nothing less…

After Press Conference Trouble:
Most event organisers issues press/media tags or complimentary tickets to the media at their final press conferences. After the delayed press conference, the organisers with their media co-ordinator started issuing out wrist bands instead of perhaps a press tag.

Why invite a media to your event, if not to cover? It’s obvious; the organisers don’t know the difference between a ‘wrist band’ and a ‘press tag’. Let me educate them here, a press tag enables the media man to go to certain places whereas the wrist band only confers you to your seat.

If their media co-ordinator has worked vigorously throughout the publicity stages and has come up with a number of media houses to be given tags, why was the wife of the organiser present and rebelling the media over tags?

The reason why they did not give out tags according to the wife of one of the organisers was that, during the Fabulous show, media houses passed their tags to other people to enter the auditorium without paying.

I think it was another stupid excuse to mock the media. This is a blatant lie. Even if it was true, the organizers have themselves to be blamed. If you want everything free this is what you get at the end. Charter House, the organizers of the Ghana Music Awards will never come up with such frivolous excuses, because they have tight security at their events.

Even with the wrist band, instead of giving it to the media men present, they said no, the woman wanted to put it around each journalist’s wrist – as it’s done in nursery school.

Some media houses with their names on the bill were not given the wrist band with the silly excuse that, they should come to the venue for theirs.

It got more stupid when TV stations allotted 4 or 5 bands because of their big crew were refused the bands with the excuse that, they should come to the venue for theirs. It became obvious, someone don’t know the work of the media.

I asked if they expect us to bath with the wrist band on and they answered YES. Oh Ghana!

At this juncture, I gave up the Mario dream, though I was disappointed. Well besides I had seen him perform in Ghana before so what was the point?
