JULIET IBRAHIM REVEALS REASONS BEHIND HER DIVORCE

Ghanaian entertainers always make entertainment tabloids and newspapers look bad, especially when issues about them are raised.

They are always on the defensive, spew all manner of invectives at reporters, tell their innocence to the public and portray writers and newspapers as purveyors of false news.

Months ago, Razz Newspaper reported that there was some unrest in the marriage between actress, Juliet Ibrahim and Kwadwo Safo, son of the famous Apostle Safo – a report that was vehemently denied by the actress and the husband.

In anger, the actress even told the paper and its readers to mind their own business and that; all was going well in her marriage.

Over the weekend, Juliet Ibrahim released a press statement, officially announcing her divorce from her husband and pleading with her fans to accept and respect their decision.

Razz Newspaper has conducted some investigations to find out the reasons behind the breakup, separation and divorce of the marriage between Kwadwo Safo and Juliet Ibrahim.

According to sources very close to the actress, Juliet claims that the marriage was a mistake that shouldn't have happened. She said that; she got involved with Kwadwo Safo briefly and in the course of the friendship, she got pregnant. The unplanned pregnancy is what caused Kwadwo to marry her.

The actress shockingly claims that Kwadwo Safo’s family did not support the marriage from the onset. The family of her husband failed to show up for the marriage ceremony and have openly showed their disapproval and lack of support for the marriage.

Juliet also said that; the marriage ended over a year and half ago and another reason for the break up was that – Kwadwo Safo got involved with another lady who was as fair as she (Juliet) and competed for the love and attention of her husband. The source claims that Juliet was overly angry at her husband because the fair complexion of the said lady was as a result of bleaching; so, she wondered why her husband would go in for somebody like that.

Per her account, Juliet also claims that although the marriage ended sometime ago, she and Kwadwo have continued to remain good friends and meet and talk when it becomes necessary.

In another related twist, Juliet is said to have been in a serious relationship with Nigerian model/actor IK Ogbonna right after her marriage collapsed. She spends most of her time in Nigeria and she is reported to have spent quality time with IK. The model even featured in Juliet Ibrahim’s music video to her lukewarm single released months ago.

Juliet and IK broke up recently and IK is reported to have used his social media page to plead to the actress for forgiveness and seeking a comeback.

Razz also spoke to Kwadwo Safo on his take over the news of their break up and he responded that; he’s a very reserved person so the public can rely on Juliet’s side of the issue. He said that; he doesn’t believe in discussing his personal issues in public so anything that comes from Juliet should be considered the truth.

He added that, Juliet Ibrahim is the one who has a story to tell but he doesn’t. He would rather prefer the media to talk on the new ‘4x4 kantanka’ act that he and his father are working on and bringing unto the market.

REGGIE ROCKSTONE TIPPED FOR MUSIGA PRESIDENCY

Ghanaian hip hop artiste, J-Town has endorsed Reggie Rockstone to be the next MUSIGA President, noting that, “ Reggie is the best person to run the association”.

Speaking on XFM’s WANNABE show with Thompson C.D Nortey, J-Town reiterated that the Grandpapa of Hiplife has the welfare of Ghanaian artistes at heart and capable of running their affairs successfully.

J-Town, born Stefen Menson, stated categorically that the only functional Ghanaian music industry was during the days Highlife was at its best and for us to have a modern one, the right people should be put in place to make the industry better.

The ‘Gun and Roses’ hitmaker placed much emphasis on the fact that the media was to blame for the slow pace of hip hop music in Ghana, adding that the media was quick to play international tracks for hours yet demand for “payola” before they play music from Ghanaians.

The content producer for Channel O music Africa advised artistes to take their craft seriously and stated that for Ghanaian musicians to gain international recognition, they have to produce sensible songs, do more collaboration, respect themselves and not settle for anything.

He also admonished his fellow artistes to tell good stories through music.

He asked musicians to be smart and creative in order to improve on trends and condemned artistes who just switch to any trend without any positive contribution to improve on those trends.

The versatile musician suggested the implementation of music chart shows to help determine award winners and decried this year’s VGMA, labeling it as the worst.

According to him, undeserving artistes were awarded for no good work done.
