Award winning Ghanaian Movie Actor, Bill Asamoah has broken his silence about rumours that he is dating actress, Maame Serwaah.
According
him, the Kumawood actress is a young lady he has mentored since she
entered into the movie industry till date, so he only sees her as a
daughter.
“Maame Serwaah is like my daughter and if I cannot date my daughter then I can equally not date Maame Serwaah,” he said.
It
has been widely speculated that the President of the Ashanti Regional
branch of the Ghana Actors Guild, is dating his young colleague, Maame
Sewaah.
The two have of late been paired as lovers in several
movies including ‘Maso Aware3″ leading to a heightening of the
suspicions among some Ghanaians.
But speaking to Adom News, Bill
Asamoah described the speculations as false adding he was unaware of the
rumours until his wife told him about it.
‘I was shocked when my
wife told me that she has heard that I am dating Maame Serwaah and I
just could not understand why people easily believed this,’ he said.
He further stated he is not perturbed about the rumours.
Even before hearing of the Shatta
Wale-Charterhouse court duel gets proper hearing , another court
proceeding is set to grab the headlines in the coming weeks as famed
actor, Van Vicker drags online portal, to court for slander.
The
lawyer for the actor, Egbert Fabille (same lawyer for Charterhouse, in
their case against Shatta Wale) is said to have concluded the lawsuit
and ready to serve the CEO/Publisher of the website, Paa Kwasi Boakye
with the writ.
Van’s decision to go to court was necessitated by a
publication on the website weeks ago, which stated that the actor had
contracted the deadly Ebola virus in Liberia when he went there to shoot
the movie, ‘Bendu Sudan’. The story also added that, Ghana’s Foreign
Ministry had barred the actor from returning to Ghana.
The actor
confirmed to Razz Newspaper that, since he made his intentions open
about suing the website, he’s had calls from many media persons,
pleading for him to drop the case – but he is determined to see the case
through in court.
He said that, the level of unprofessionalism
in the field is becoming unbearable and his pursuance of the case in
court may serve as a deterrent to others in the field.
According
to the actor, he has been a victim of many false stories over the years
but he always let them go but this time, he will tackle the matter to
its legal conclusion.
“All the false stories affect me a lot, but
this particular one I must say, has made people to be look at me with
so much skepticism. Others make expensive jokes at me when I go to town
which is not funny. I waste time explaining myself to people that the
Ebola story is bogus when I could be doing something productive,” he
lamented.
Since the ‘Ebola story’ broke, Van has disclosed how
such stories affect not only him, but his kids as well: “I am worried
about my kids right now because the same thing happened when they put up
a story on Facebook I had an accident and I was possibly going to die,”
he said.
He recalled that during the said publication, he was
out of the country but when his children went to school, they went
through some trauma. “People were telling them all sorts of stories and
this time too I am afraid they are going to go to school and their
friends will probably be keeping their distance from my kids because
there is the possibility that they are also infected,” he explained.
Speaking
to the Paa Kwasi Boakye, he stated that, the story has already been
taken down from the website although the story was a satirical piece
which is meant for entertainment purposes only. The intent of such
articles, according to him, is to mimic situations that make the
headlines in daily news.
TV host and radio presenter, Delores
Frimpong-Manso, has told 'News-One' she has a burning desire for success
that would make her one of the top female entrepreneurs on the African
continent.
“My desire to be a success story surpasses my fear of
death, my own happiness and my hope for peace. I am hungry for success
and that hunger is eating me up. It is an uphill task with hurdles to
jump over,” Delores, also known as Delay, noted.
When asked to
define the type of success she was talking about, Delores said “it is
not wise to share the details of your inner dreams because it makes your
battles tougher.
“I am not talking just about money because
money in itself is an insatiable thing. I am talking about clear
targets. Like Dangote, Adenike Ogunlesi, Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu, I want
to own my own manufacturing industries with factories, employing
thousands of people, and making a meaningful impact,” she explained.
Delores
said she disagreed with persons who would described her current state
as a success story considering the fact that she hosts a mid-morning
radio programme, owns a company that is producing two television
programmes that are doing very well Mackerel, aside her boutiques.
“Let
us not confuse fame with success. Fame is just when more people know
you. It is not really useful unless you use that fame to touch people in
every positive way and makes the difference else you have a useless
fame. So I have the fame now and I am working towards attaining success
but I am not there yet,” she added.
News-One asked Delores if she has plans to marry anytime soon and whether that would not slow down her ‘journey to success.”
“If
I meet a man who I can fall in love with and we can help each other
achieve our dreams, I would be fine with marriage. Indeed, that is the
ultimate aim of most women who enter into marriage. But I am not in a
hurry to marry just for the sake of carrying someone’s name. But I am
careful in talking about marriage because we live in a part of the world
where it is a sensitive topic for unmarried women to discuss,” Delores
noted and continued:
“All I am saying is that if I was in a hurry
to marry, I would have accepted the marriage proposals that came my
way. But sometimes, you know within you that if you say ‘yes’, you would
be divorcing in a few years after the ceremony. I would marry but I am
not in a rush or desperate about it now.
She noted further:
“every level I reach in life has been met with very major challenges;
and the bigger I grow, the bigger the challenges, I have sailed through
the hard times without a man in my life and my philosophy has been
simple: every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So I just
soldier on despite the attempts to pull me down and negative energy from
people who think I am over stepping the limits they have set for me.
A popular Akan/Twi movie actress,
Nana Yaa Appiah, has told NEWS-ONE that combining her active Christian
lifestyle and acting career has been a major challenge for her.
“I
cannot play certain roles and have had to reject many scripts because
my pastor does not like to see my buttocks or breasts, not even a small
part of it in movies. He would get angry because it is against the
teachings of my church.
I attend the Open Bible Faith Ministry
at Atonsu and as you can see, I can’t even pierce my ears more than
double. I sing at church and I am bound to be a role model,” Nana Yaa
noted.Interestingly Nana Yaa is a very pretty lady with well rounded
curves that could raise eyebrows if exposed in movies. She is tall and
light-skinned, has an infectious smile and the type of body that could
excite any right-thinking adult male. Nana Yaa admitted that the job of
an actress has become very competitive and her selective attitude puts
her at a disadvantage, but she does not have a choice because she is a
practicing Christian and would have to abide by the teachings of her
church and her pastor.
Asked if her church does not know she
needs to work to get money to pay her tithes and offering, Nana Yaa said
her choice of career is not motivated by money. “Acting movies in Ghana
is not all about making money. The movies for which I was paid very
small monies have rather helped me enter places I could not have
entered. It has opened doors for me. So sometimes, you consider some of
these things rather than focus on money for now… there was a time a
family invited me to spend holidays with them in Europe simply because
they love the way I act,” she stated.
Nana Yaa emerged on the
Akan/Twi movie scenes in 2009 and with support from Samuel Akwesi
Nyamekye of Miracle Films, she has since acted in some 70 movies. Though
she started mostly by playing the role of a pastor’s wife, Nana Yaa
later switched to other roles which have earned her numerous accolades
including Osofo Maame, Dede, Mama G and Lady Posh.
However after coming under some
attacks on social media for her letter, she wrote the follow-up letter
to ‘apologize’ to Duncan Williams as follows:
Letter Of Apology.
I
apologize for touching your anointed. I apologize for being offended by
his statement. I apologize for making a joke out of it, in fact I
apologize for not writing a more serious piece on how his statement
really made me feel.
I apologize for not giving bible references
to all the great women in the bible who God used to do wonders even
though they were “unmarried” and had no children.
I apologize that I didn’t talk about my mother, who is unmarried, and yet I value from the bottom of my heart.
I
apologize for not talking about how the same bible is strongly against
divorce, and how one sin is no greater or less than another.
I
apologize for not adding that we are all sinners before God, and are
prone to mess up sometimes. Even men of God. Yet God still loves us as
we are.
I apologize for not recognizing that I’m not allowed to have an opinion where a man of God is concerned.
I
apologize for not accepting that it’s ok for a man of God to use sexual
references to address people, but I don’t have the power to do the
same.
But above all I apologize on behalf of my father Rev.Dr.M.K Forson, for raising me to have an opinion.
From my heart I apologize.
Did I miss anything?
Oh yes and I apologize for any future statements I may make.
I’m sorry.
Dear Duncan Williams,
Can I
marry you? I’m in dire need of validation and since the ratio of men to
women is in your words ” 7:1″ I don’t want to be left behind. If you
can’t marry me, give me one of the married men in your congregation. I
will hold on to him like there’s no tomorrow.
Chai,like you I
also speak the truth and I don’t care. So we will get on perfectly. And I
promise, with all my honor, that if you beat me, cheat on me, abuse my
children and don’t even provide financially for me I will stay!!
Unlike other women, I want to continue to have value so I will stay married even if it sends me to the grave. I make wild k3k3.
Ignore
all those women who say what about the men? What do they mean by that?
Don’t they know men don’t need validation? They were born validated.
They can’t do any wrong in Gods eyes.
In fact, let them be
married and still sleep with a million women, there is nothing wrong
with that. In fact, they are even giving the women validation. You’ve
spoken the truth my dear, ignore all those unmarried bitter women who
can’t stand it. Soon when you and I, are parading our children in front
of them they will regret not taking your advice.
They will regret
not contributing to society like we have. After all, with all their
beauty and brains what did they contribute? So you were a lawyer, or a
doctor that saved lives, how’s that a contribution? Msteeeew.
But
honey boo, please oh, this one I beg, when you’re 100, soldier man
won’t stand oh. He will need a few blue pills to help him out.
Even
with that they will last for just a few seconds. So we need to amend
that. But don’t worry, I won’t go anywhere, cuz a hole doesn’t need to
“rise” to the occasion, it just needs to be filled and it will be ok. So
even at 100 I still go dey for you.
I MUST marry lie lie..
Sincerely,
Lydia Forson

The headlining court case between
reigning Ghana Music Awards ‘Artiste of the Year’ Winner, Shatta Wale
and event organizers, Charterhouse and their head, Iyiola Ayoade – is
sure to go its full stretch, contrary to talks that the case might be
settled out of the court room.
During the hearing of the case on
October 20, 2014, Shatta Wale’s lawyer pleaded with the court for an
out-of-court settlement and asked for one month, within which they
believe the case might have been settled amicably between the two
parties; but indications are clear that the posturing and proclamations
from the two disputing parties show that, no settlement is being
discussed.
The industry is thorn with mixed feelings as a section
are pleading for the out-of-court settlement while another section
wishes to see the case travel its full legal length, however, Public
Relations for Charterhouse, George Quaye disclosed that his outfit are
yet to see any meaningful effort from Shatta’s camp in settling the case
– although his lawyer did submit an official letter requesting for an
out-of-court settlement.
Asked about the efforts made by
Charterhouse in settling the case out of court, he stated: “At our end,
it’s not even come up for discussion yet.
We have been busy with projects, ‘Barney,’ ‘Challenge, ‘Miss Malaika Pageant’ plus tons of corporate events to handle.
With
no efforts being made by both parties to settle the case, all is
therefore set for them to re-appear in court on November 3, 2014 as
ordered by the judge.
Asked if Charterhouse is only waiting to see off the case on November 3, George Quaye responded,” Yes!”
On
2nd October 2014, Charterhouse sued Shatta Wale for defamation, seeking
damages of GH10million. This was after the self-acclaimed Dancehall
King, made derogatory videos against the events company and its CEO,
Iyiola Ayoade.
An Accra Fast Track High Court on Monday October
20, 2014 sat to hear the case involving Mr. Iyiola Ayoade and Shatta
Wale, real name Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jnr. The artiste was
represented in court by his father and manager for Administration, Mr.
Mensah and his Manager for PR, Asiamah Hanson aka Bulldog.
At the
end of the hearing, the court granted an interlocutory injunction
against Shatta Wale meaning that, Shatta Wale is barred from releasing
anything against Charterhouse or anybody affiliated with Charterhouse be
it in writing on social media, in music, radio, TV, video or through
any other form of communication or publication.
