Doctor cum reggae artiste, Knii Lante recently wrote one long open letter to music award organizers specifically Charterhouse, organizers of the prestigious annual Vodafone Ghana music awards.
In the letter, he talked about reggae being bunched up with dancehall, and to him, our Ghanaian musicians are not doing dancehall but rather Azonto-hall.
He posted, “Reggae is bunched up with dancehall which is a travesty of justice. True dancehall is yet to be clearly differentiated from Azonto-hall and this leads to people playing all sorts of beats (from hip hop to azonto ) and rapping in patois over them to qualify into the Reggae/Dancehall category.”
Addressing his sentiments in an interview with Pluzz Fm, he disclosed that yes, he labelled Ghanaian dancehall as ‘Azonto-hall’ because our GH dancehall acts just take a danceable beats, speak some few patoi on it, and then labelled it as a dancehall.
When asked by the host why he made the above points, He said, “Yes, for me I’m even struggling to differentiate between what our local acts are doing down here as compared to what it’s been done in Jamaica. Ghanaian dancehall artistes are doing Azonto-hall because all they do is to take a danceable beats and do some patoi over it and then call it dancehall”.
He continued, “But in Jamaica where dancehall originates from, that’s not what they do over there, there is a vast difference between theirs and ours but we still call our dancehall”. He ended.

“I Accepted A Bribe To Keep Mute After Seeing A Pastor Bonk A Colleague’s Wife In His Office” – Gospel Singer, Erico

Erico

Famous for competing in the Mentor competition, gospel artist Eric Oduro has shared how he exposed a senior pastor who was having an extramarital affair with a colleague's wife.


In his account of the incident on Adom TV's Okukuseku with Emelia Brobbey, said that he had been hired to serve at a church in Nungua when the incident occurred.

It was his responsibility, he said, to oversee a spirit-filled ministry that would bring in the senior pastor to deliver a sermon to the congregation.


He stated he had to reroute his route and return to the church after doing his work and leaving the property because he had forgotten his glasses in the pastor's office.

Upon barging into the senior pastor's office, he said the scene that unfolded before him was so shocking that, to date, he occasionally gets flashbacks.

recounted seeing the pastor pants down while banging the junior pastor's wife, who doubles as the church's secretary, on his desk.

As he snatched his spectacles and made attempts to quietly walk out, he said the pastor pleaded with him not to create a scene as church service was still ongoing.

In exchange for his silence, Erico claims the pastor offered him a substantial bribe, which he accepted.
