Actress Juliet Ibrahim Safo seems to be serious about her mission to conquer Ghana’s music scene and beyond.
Following in the footsteps of Genevieve Nnaji, Stella Damasus, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde and the controversial Tonto Dikeh, Juliet has released a single titled ‘Celebration.’
The song features fast rising dancehall artiste Jupita and was produced by Sammie Blac. Juliet has promised to consider her music talent as a major priority and is working on three other singles with the ‘Bayla Boys’ (R2Bees) and Nana Ama McBrown.
Singing at family gatherings and at church at age six, Juliet’s Sunday school teacher, Mrs. Danielle Dialllo expressed her surprise when she first saw Juliet in a movie.
“Juliet has being singing since childhood and I understand the delay because she has a scale of preference; so for me, I’m not surprised at all,” Juliet’s mother revealed. On January 1, 2013, sexy Juliet was named among the top 10 influential female celebrities in Africa for the year 2012.
Being the only Ghanaian on the list, Juliet Ibrahim and Omotola Jalade (Nigerian) are the only actresses believed to have impacted positively on the society in 2012.
The year seems to have started well for the actress as she tweeted, “it’s just the beginning…” Barely a week ago, Juliet’s name popped up in the compilation of the Highest Paid and Influential Actresses in Ghana.
“The greatest joy of every celebrity is to be honoured therefore I thank God for this recognition and I dedicate it to my team for the hard work,” Juliet said. Presently, the Face of Ghana Movie 2011 is on set shooting her first production as the executive producer under her nickname; ‘Jewelz’ Production.
"News-One" has gathered from sources close to Nana Ama McBrown that the car crash which almost claimed her life last week could have been an assassination attempt possibly because of Maxwell, her reported lover boy.
“Nana Ama is very famous and has made so many enemies consciously or unconsciously. Maxwell is gradually growing in the industry and has made some many enemies. We believe strongly that some hit men were hired to take them out,” a source close to McBrown told News-One.
“Anybody can be a suspect for assassination attempt, even me. It could be an angry ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend trying to settle a score with them,” another source revealed to News-One.
Popular actress Nana Ama was in a black Range Rover with her lover Maxwell Mensah around 2am on the George Walker Bush Motorway, last Wednesday, heading towards their residence at Mallam, when the ill-fated incident happened.
Upon approaching the Lapaz traffic lights which were then blinking amber, a vehicle from nowhere rammed into their Range Rover. They were rushed to the 37 Military Hospital whilst unconscious and the actress was immediately whisked to the Intensive Care Unit.
Maxwell also suffered a fractured arm. News-One can confirm that Maxwell Mensah has dated several female celebrities in the industry, with sexy saucy singer Mzbel being one of his conquests. Though not proven beyond doubt, names like actress Vicky Zugah and singer Diamond have also been linked to him.
Nana Ama has also dated a few top shots in Ghana including Okyeame Kwame and Nana Wiafe Akenteng, a Chief. She was also linked to actor Omar Sherif but she has denied that link.
Publicist for Nana Ama McBrown, said the actress was currently on admission at the Yaa Asantewa War (F2) of the 37 Military Hospital and responding to treatment. She has a P.O.P on her right arm because she dislocated a bone on that arm.
Meanwhile, the Tesano Police says they are investigating circumstances that led to the near fatal accident involving the actress and her lover.
DSP Ernest Acheampong, the Tesano Divisional MTTU Commander, said because of the conflicting accounts of the incident by the persons involved, the police were conducting further investigations to ascertain the true cause of the accident.
