KONTIHENE FAKED HIS MARRIAGE FOR PUBLICITY STUNT - KWAW KESE

Kontihene might have bitten more than he can chew. He just made one statement against Kwaw Kese but it seems the man ‘insane’ can’t let those statement lay to rest without replying.

After Kwaw said that a man was created to be fearful and that is why he looks as such, he has again disclosed to myjoyonline.com that Kontihene just want to retain his dead fame hence, hitting hard at him Kwaw with such unnecessary comments. He added that he faked his marriage just to pull publicity stunts to get people’s attention.

Rapper Kwaw Kese says recent disparaging comments made against him by fellow musician Kontihene are just a ruse to resuscitate Kontihene’s dead career.

Kontihene is reported to have stated in a recent interview on OKAY FM that there is no way he can be compared to Kwaw Kese.

According to him, “I am wiser than him, I am more presentable as well as more educated, our way of dressing is even different and on top of it, I am more handsome then he is.”

Kwaw Kese, also known as ‘Abodam’ speaking in an interview with Myjoyonline.com laughed off the comments stating Kontihene is just being childish.

“I heard Kontihene is trying to use my name to resurrect his dead career. I think that is a mistake and it’s childish. He can’t do that he’s been dead for ten years and you can’t use me as a way to resurrect your career,” he said.

The ‘King of the Street’, said “We all know that he is trying to use me to resurrect his dead career and I won’t help him do that.”

Born Emmanuel Abrompah Botchwey, the rapper alleged that Kontihene’s marriage to his heartthrob Dulcie Omane Boateng in Sunyani on Saturday, January 18, was just a publicity stunt.

“This is one person who has even faked the marriage to shoot his name back to fame. He is trying whatever possible to come back into the game. The marriage is basically a publicity stunt,” he alleged and added that he doubts if Kontihene is truly married.

Reacting to Kontihene’s comments that he is handsomer than Kwaw Kese, The King of the Street said, “I don’t want to be handsome. I want to be an ugly [fearful] man…”

Kwaw Kese believes a song – ‘Nonsense’ – he released about ten years ago with a slight reference to Kontihene’s song – ‘Megizigi’ – is still eating him up.

He said it does not make sense for Kontihene, born Emmanuel Nana Appiah Boateng, to make derogatory comments about him because of song released 10 years ago.

I'LL MARRY SOON - SLIM BUSTERR

Musician and dancer, Ebenezer Asare aka Slim Busterr, yesterday disclosed that preparations are far advanced for him to get mar­ried to his sweetheart at a red carpet event.

Slim Busterr, told 'Beatwaves' that things are mov­ing on well for him and that sooner or later his numerous fans will hear the wedding bells.

Slim said being in a relation­ship posed some challenges to him because as a star every woman he dated expected so much from him, and when they did not realise their expectations, they felt cheated along the line, making it difficult to continue with the relationship.

Asked about his relationship status, he quickly said with a smile, "I'm now at the point of my life when I'm ready to get mar­ried, and that is what I am looking for in a relationship because I feel the desire to settle down".

He said he is in a relationship with a lady and if things work according to plan he might get married soon to the surprise of all.

The dancer-cum-musician claimed he has never relaxed in his music career as people per­ceived but has been working on his upcoming album which will hit the airwaves pretty soon.

Since joining the music indus­try, Slim Busterr has proven, in no uncertain terms, that he reigns supreme among his contemporaries and continues to giant strides on the music scene through his creativity. Today, the name Slim Busterr, has become a household name in Ghana.

After releasing his album in 2008, he disappeared from the scene and left his fans, colleagues and some of the stakeholders in the creative industry wondering if they would ever set eyes on him again on stage.

Explaining reasons why he abandoned his musical career, Slim Busterr disclosed that along the line he got fed up with the music business in Ghana.

"For the past several years, I have remained what others would consider underground. I did this in order to do other businesses including importation of musical equipment and movie production. To those fans who were told that I abandoned them, that is untrue. I only took a break to work on some projects which needed urgent attention."

Slim Busterr who is currently working on his new album to be released in March this year and a television series, said he kept his life relatively simple working behind closed doors because his fans were still expecting more from him.

Slim Busterr entered the music industry in 1986, after he won the 1986 National Dance Champi­onship competition. Twenty years on, Slim considers himself to be a very successful musician: "To me I have been very successful when it comes to music," he said.

He later left the shores of Ghana for UK to study Music and Sound Engineering.

On his return to Ghana, Slim Busterr decided take up music as a full time job, hence he estab­lished his own recording studio at Darkuman Junction in Accra.

SAMINI IS A LIAR...

The Rivalry between dance-hall musicians Samini and Shatta Wale has taken an interesting twist even as the two get ready to go on a live programme on UTV for a ‘tell-it-all’ debate that would also be broadcast live on Peace FM.

Samini first threw the challenge to Shatta for them to go on national television and engage in a debate to enable the general public know the whole truth about the disagreement between them, and Shatta accepted.

Samini called for the debate when he spoke to Akwasi Aboagye on Peace FM’s Entertainment Review last Saturday and alleged that in the past the Chief Executive of Bullhaus Entertainment, Bull Dog came to him and asked for permission to go beat up Shatta Wale.

“His manager, Bull Dog, years back would meet back stage and tell me that he wants to beat that guy (Shatta Wele) for me because the guy was fooling and he (Bull Dog) only wants clearance from me to beat him up. Today, Bull Dog is behaving as if he has a fight with me because he manages Shatta. But Bull Dog knows he used to come to my shows, remove his shirts, breathing profusely, jumping up and down and sweating all over. You Bull Dog, today, because you oppose me, you sit on TV to say my brand is not marketable,” Samini revealed.

Incidentally, Bull Dog is Shatta’s manager and he has taken a strong exception to the allegation from Samini, describing it as blatant untruth.

“Samini is a liar, I have never ever told him that I wanted to beat up Shatta Wale for him. Rather I spoke to Shatta Wale in the past to stop insulting Samini during his performances.

I even added jokingly that (Shatta Wale) was doing fine without Samini so he should concentrate on his career and forget about Samini. I remember playfully telling Shatta some three years ago that if he doesn’t put a stop to that behaviour, I will give him a few punches. I’m not at Samini’s camp and I don’t manage him so what will I gain if I had told him that?” Bull Dog noted in an exclusive interview with News-One.

He continue: “All these things are lies; I don’t take off any shirt in public. I love Dancehall, I respect Samini and I enjoy his music but I’m not a fanatic like that. He told a series of lies on that day. I just want people to be truthful and honest in their submissions.”

Many people have raised several concerns about what seems to be bad blood between Samini’s group and Shatta’s camp.

News-One has gathered that arrangements are underway for the debate to be organized in the studios of Peace FM, as well as on UTV.

KWAW KESE BEGS VODAFONE

Rap Artiste Kwaw Kese has rendered an unqualified apology to organizers of the just ended Vodafone Icons after he accused them of trying to extort money from him to decide on the winner of the contest.

Kwaw recounted on Peace FM that since he hijacked the stage at the finals of the Vodafone Icons and incited his fans against the organizers, corporate bodies in Ghana have refused to book him for their events.

“Because of the stunt I pulled on the Vodafone stage some time ago, most of the Corporate companies don’t call on me for shows and other things any longer. I just want to tell Vodafone that if I have offended them in anyway, we are all human so I want to use this opportunity to apologize to Vodafone for what happened,” Kwaw Kese stated.

It could be recalled that Kwaw Kese went ballistic after his younger brother, Buda, was eliminated from the final round of the Vodafone Icons reality show. Even though he had not been able to substantiate any of his claims, the ‘Man Insane’ alleged that a member of the organizing team asked him to pay GH10,000 in order for Buda to win.

“Oh yeah the guys at Vodafone are like my colleagues and I have realized that what I did on that very day did not go down well with them. We have to promote peace. I just want to say that I’m sorry for what I did. We all have to come together to promote the showbiz industry and move Ghana forward so I just have to eat in the peace bowl with them and just move on,” he added.

Telecommunication giants, Vodafone Ghana officially dissociated itself from Kwaw Kese’s allegation and are yet to accept the apology.
