BET Awards winner Sarkodie and Dynamic duo R2Bees who have been billed
to Perform alongside Pan Africa group P-Square; for the Malta Guinness
sponsored “Top of the World Celebration” Concert have threatened to pull
out of the show if organizers do not pay them $20, 000 each.
According Peacefmonline.com investigations they both agreed to take
GH¢20,000 initially but they later came back today to tell Charter
House, the organizers that they meant $20,000 and GH¢20,000 and as at
the time of filing this report they were still insisting on being paid
the amount $20,000 or they will not mount the stage come Saturday
December 1.
Peacefmonline.com gather that Tema based Sarkodie and R2Bees made this
sudden change of mind when they heard how much Nigerian duo P-Square
charged to perform on the same stage. Peacefmonline.com further probe
into the matter reveals that Pan-African group P-Square charged over
$300,000 to perform on the show and this prompted the Ghanaian artistes
to also demand more.
Peacefmonline.com is reliably informed that organizers are not ready to
pay the Ghanaian artistes that much so they may ordered all media
houses to hold on with all commercials of the event which has names of
the two artistes whiles they look for other artistes to replace them, if
they are not able to come to an agreement with the two artistes by end
of today.
This was very evident yesterday evening November 28, 2012 when the two
Ghanaian artistes were conspicuously missing at Excel Night Club during
the press soiree for the event scheduled to take place come Saturday
December 1 at Independence Square in Accra.
Meanwhile headline act Peter and Paul Okoye of P-Square fame were
present to interact with press and to assure their Ghanaian fans that
they are indeed in town ahead of the big day. During their interaction
one of the duo asked why their Ghanaian colleagues Sarkodie and R2Bees
were not present at the press soiree but neither the organizers Charter
House nor officials from Malta Guinness were able give any reason for
their absence.
Peacefmonline.com investigations revealed that Sarkodie gave organizers
prior notice of his absence because he was on location in the Eastern
region shooting a new music video the same time the press soiree was
going on.
However, Peacefmonline.com was reliably informed that Tema based R2Bees
confirmed to organizers through their manger Ike that they would be
present but for some reason they decided not come.
The two artistes refused to perform last Saturday at the “Joy FM Nite
with the Stars” due to some misunderstanding backstage between Kwaw
Kesse and VIP, so their absence yesterday has raised a lot of questions
as to whether they will mount the stage on Saturday or not but as it
stands now they may not perform.
Peter and Paul however, assured the press and their Ghanaian fans that
they will perform for over 2 hours with their 11-member band with
countless dance moves and make sure that the experience will remain in
the memory of Ghanaians for a very long time.
The event is also expected to witness Ghana’s biggest flash mob yet,
with a special ‘Chop My Money’ celebration dance to go with it. Visit

Ghollywood Production (GP) Limited, organizers of the prestigious Ghana
movie awards wishes to announce to the general public that this year’s
award ceremony will come off at the Accra International Conference
Centre on Christmas Day, December 25.
GP Limited had earlier announced to organize the award ceremony on
December 2, ahead of the upcoming General Elections on December 7.
This was after it considered the unforeseen challenges that might
affect the ceremony in a likely case of a run-off during the elections.
But upon further deliberations with partners after the award’s launch
on Monday November 26, it had shifted the award’s date to the usual
date, December 25.
Organizers apologize for the change and any inconveniences caused are deeply regretted.
This year’s event is being organized by Ghollywood Production Limited
in collaboration with rLG and TV3, and supported by Vodafone and Travel
Express International Hotel.
Reports reaching ‘Razz’ has it that legendary actor, Mac Jordan Amartey is seriously ill and has had one of his legs amputated.
The ace actor is said to be suffering from a chronic form of diabetes which affected his leg, prompting doctors to cut it off.
Mac Jordan is well noted for the use of ‘big’ English words in his
movies and known also for his tiff with another actress Grace Nortey in
almost all the movies the two starred in.
He has been in the industry for so many years, appearing in the
all-time favourite ‘Idikoko’ series, TV Theatre productions and numerous
Ghanaian films.
Histories are created by historians and come December 1, another
historical feat will be witnessed in the entertainment industry of Ghana
by the historians-Malta Guinness, as they take the top of the world
celebration to another level.
For the first time, Africa’s multiple awards winning duo-Psquare,
Ghana’s fastest Rapper and BET award winner-Sarkodie and the
dynamic-R2Bees, will come face to face with their fans that have yearned
to see them together.
With over 100 hit songs among the super-duper stars billed for the
night, Ghana is definitely set for the history books. In between all
these, dance steps like the Alantas, Asokpo, Gbohee, Yahozee and the
current rave of the moment-Azonto, and not forgetting the Alingo dances
will take centre stage.
The event is also expected to witness Ghana’s biggest flash mob, with a
special ‘Chop My Money’ celebration dance to go with it. Attendance is
invitation only and free tickets can be won by participating in any of
the various call-ins on air or visit
www.facebook.com/maltaguinnessghana, like the page, and pick up your
invitation from the Malta Guinness stand in front of Shoprite at the
Accra Mall.
It’s going to be the biggest, exciting and exhilarating concert to mark the end of the year in a grand style.
The date is 1st of December, 2012, and the venue is the Independence Square, Accra.
Psquare expressed their joy towards the award given to them by 4Syte TV
during the recently concluded MTN 4Syte Music Video awards in Ghana.
According to them, they aren’t new to receiving accolades because they
are now used to the feat. They jokingly insinuated that of all countries
in the world where they have gotten recognized, it is only in their own
country that some kind of
ojoro shows its ugly head.
Representatives of 4Syte TV were unable to hand over the award to them,
perhaps before the dancing duo leave, efforts would be made to hand
over the gong to them. They were very grateful to the organizers for the
recognition.
However they acknowledged that one of the awards received during their
senior high school days still remains very significant to them, and so
an award may seem small but still it is those small and simple ones that
mean a lot to them.
They are in Ghana for a great performance, come December 1 at the Independence Square, on the bill of Malta Guinness.
