J.MARTINS IN GHANA FOR OKYEAME KWAME’S VIDEO

Nigerian vocal icon J. Martins is currently in Ghana to help shoot Okyeame Kwame’s ‘Try (One More Time)’ video.

Following the release of the chart breaker, the ‘Woso’ hit maker posted on his Twitter account that he was grateful J. Martins had arrived in Ghana to help him shoot his ‘Try(One More Time)’ video. “#Grateful moments when J Martins confirms to drop in Gh tmro for the video shoot,” Okyeame Kwame tweeted.

Fans are already in high spirits waiting for the release of the video.

The ‘Try’ song basically talks about cultivating the ‘never give up’ habit. “You keep praying but it seems Jehovah doesn’t hear you. Your mother’s brother has money but he doesn’t think about you. You have tried and tried and tired but it seems it’s not working. Try one more time. Try another time,” Okyeame Kwame stated in his song.

The song forms part of Okyeame Kwame’s upcoming ‘African Connection’ album which is expected to feature top-notch musicians across Africa.

Okyeame Kwame has already recorded songs with artistes from Uganda, South Africa and looking at doing more collaboration with other African musicians.

The collaboration between these two West African music gurus was produced by the famous beat maker EL of BBnZ Live.

I'M NOT PREGNANT FOR JIM IYKE - NANCY CONFESSES

It is barely a week when a young lady claimed she was pregnant for Jim Iyke amongst other controversies. At last, the lady, Nancy has confessed.

Nancy has opened up that some persons actually approached her to frame Jim Iyke up and cause confusion in his marriage-bound relationship with Nadia Buari.

She however refused to give details of her sponsor but has dropped the allegation that they dated secretly and that he got her pregnant.

When the story broke recently, many condemned Jim Iyke without giving him the benefit of doubt, but his woman, Nadia Buari, stood by him.

I’M NOT PLANNING TO MARRY NADIA BUARI - JIM IYKE

Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke has debunked rumours that he and award-winning Ghanaian actress, Nadia Buari were planning to get married.

The two stars have been reported to be dating each other and were said to be planning to get married, after Jim was recently alleged to have been delivered of an evil spirit which had prevented him from getting married.

Reacting to the widely reported marriage rumour between him and Nadia, Jim disclosed on his twitter handle, @jimikyeofficial that he’s not planning of legalising his affair with Nadia.

He wrote, “I’ll resolve this issue by stating as clearly as possible that this marriage rumours is unfounded and far-fetched. My prerogative is known to me only.”

Some critics have insisted that Jim and Nadia are only trying to make publicity stunt out of their rumoured love affair.

Meanwhile, Nadia Buari has reportedly deleted Jim Iyke’s pictures from her Instagram page. This, according to what we gathered, was because of Jim Iyke’s stand on their affair.

I'M NOT INTIMIDATED BY WIZKID'S SUCCESS--DAVIDO

For a long time, there have been comparism between two young Nigerian star singers, Davido and Wizkid.

The battle of who is more successful than the other has always generated heated arguments between the fans of both talented pop superstars.

Speaking with Punch newspaper recently in an interview, Davido claimed he is not scared or intimidated by the what his 'competitor' has achieved in the music industry.

According to him, "I see nobody as competition or threat [to me]. God is behind me, so I just go into the studio, do my music and everything is fine. I develop and write most of my songs in the studio.

"I’m not afraid of competition or the fact that some person will just appear on the scene and take the shine. After all, I did it to some people, so I expect that it is something that must happen to everyone because you can’t be shining forever. But once you are good to others, make good music, have loyal fans, that’s all that matters."

GLORIA: I’M BEING SEXUALLY HARRASSED

Nana Ama is a con girl and a flirt who is always exploiting her beauty to lure men in the popular TV series Efiewura.
That role, well played out by Gloria Osei Sarfo in the series for the past six years, is rather rubbing badly on her real life character.

Unfortunately, many men have misconstrued that acting role as her real life character and she has become the target of men who harrass her with incessant sexual advances.

Gloria who shot to fame through Efiewura said that has been the bitter pill she has to swallow for being in the limelight but she has always overcome these “juicy offers” from the men because she doesn’t want to compromise on her Christian doctrines.

“I have had to endure a lot of temptations especially “juicy” offers from men. Some men read different meanings into what I do as an actress. They think I am that bad girl they watch on TV and in movies so even if I tell them it is just a role play, they assume I am just playing hard to get and just wouldn’t take no for an answer”, she told Showbiz last Friday.

Coming from a strong Christian family background, Gloria says she has strived not to put her family’s name in disrepute especially her mother who is the branch pastor at City Temple International Church in Accra.

“I am a staunch Christian and my religious beliefs have always been a guide in my career. I know it will be difficult for people to accept that Gloria is a good girl but that is me. What I do is just a job and I have to deliver well to the satisfaction of my producers and directors but most people do not understand it that way.

“They just want to judge me based on what they see me do on TV, but for me it only shows that I am doing something right”, she added.

She had her stint in the movie industry a decade ago when she featured in My Mother’s Heart but it was her appearance in Efiewura that shot her into the limelight.

Aside Efiewura, Gloria plays the lead role in another TV series, Living with Trishia on Viasat 1 a programme she said has “helped to revive and upgrade me. Many people thought that I couldn’t speak English because of Efiewura.

Away from her acting career, she talked of her love life and hinted that wedding bells will soon ring as plans are far advansed for that “special day”.

Gloria who is in her late 20s has featured in movies like Frema, Most Wanted Girls, Makochem, Odansefuo Ne Wan, Sweet Mother and her latest Sika which is yet to be released.

PRINCE DAVID ‘SHUTS UP’ YVONNE NELSON OVER PREZ MAHAMA

Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson is being hailed from certain quarters for not only being a beautiful actress but for showing empathy to Ghanaians in the face of these bad economic times that Ghana and Ghanaians are experiencing now.

Last Friday, November 1, she tweeted via her Twitter handle @Yvonnenelsongh to the official Twitter handle of the President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama @JDMahama that as the first man on the land, he should ‘do something’ about the plight of Ghanaians, who are ‘suffering’.

“Mr President. Ghanaians are suffering. The people of Ghana are SUFFERING. #fuel #electricity #water plsdosomething! Thank you,” she tweeted.

The president has not responded to Miss Nelson's tweet/concern as a quick check on his timeline indicates that, his last tweet was on October 15 and was a congratulatory message to the gallant Black Stars team that humiliated the Pharaohs of Egypt by six goals to one in the first leg of the final qualifying matches to the World Cup in Brazil next year.

Commenting on the actress’ tweet, actor Prince David Osei said, “It's good she tweeted that, which other ways, its bringing some kind of awareness and letting the president know that, people like us also care about how the country goes.”

He, however, conceded that the whole world is going through that bad economic face.

“... I think it's a global thing because the American government is even going down, so generally it's not about [President] Mahama but he just got into office and as he rightly said the other time on TV, when you start a car, you move to the first gear, you move to the second, it then accelerate further. So I think Mahama is in the right direction.”

“Rome was not built in a day. I believe we all need to sacrifice and endure for some time and hopefully next year will be very great. It's not wrong that, she's shown concern that Ghanaians are suffering. Literally we are suffering with the frustration of fuel prices, electricity tariffs being increased by almost 80%, it’s not been easy for the layman but all the same, it's a global thing.”
