Ghana Meets Naija saga: Rockstone produces proof.
On May 11, 2016, it was reported that Reggie Rockstone (@Reggierockstone) known as Hiplife Grandpapa revealed on the Zone hosted by Naa Ashorkor on Starr FM, that he's the person behind the idea of Ghana Meets Naija musical concert.
He revealed, albeit jokingly, that the Ghana meets Naija concept was first mooted by him and not the founder of Empire Entertainment, Kwabena Anokye Adisi, popularly known as Bola Ray.
“I invented that you know… I was the first to bring that [idea] up… as to whether great minds think alike or Bola Ray stole my idea I don't know… but it's the truth,” Rockstone said.
This statement which was said candidly by the Grandpapa seemed to have roughed up some folks in the industry who have blindly taken him on, not knowing the real facts that led to the birth of the annual event.
In an exclusive interview with Ghanaweb.com, Reggie Rockstone described what he said as a joke that has some element of truth which his critics have jumped on to discredit his works.
In a 4-minutes-twenty-three seconds video uploaded on to Youtube dated as far back as Aug 4, 2010, the Grandpapa, now a member of award-winning group, VVIP, is clearly heard saying;
“Ghana is on the map, I respect Nigeria music, I have a serious feeling that if we met one on one… Ghana versus Nigeria rap show. Let's do that show… It will sell,”
His declaration was made on the Kasahare X show on Accra-based XFM now XLive Africa hosted by Dr. Duncan in the presence of Sarkodie, who was in the studio in his upcoming young days.
Reggie Rockstone has survived many controversies – who is the HIPLIFE Grandpapa where he proved them wrong with proof, then again proved himself with the moonwalk controversy. Soon after that he was accused of sacking Promzy from the then VIP which Promzy later gave proof to exonerate him and recently the Adidas-Shatta-shout-out- which also fell flat.
According to Reggie, As to whether great minds think alike or someone heard me and moved on it, we will never know! That is not a problem but I did not just speak what I spoke jokingly because I am a joker! I actually did speak those words before it became!

Abena Korkor Attacks Mp (Video)
The Ningo Prampram Member of Parliament, Sam George, has come under fire from socialite Abena Korkor for not fixing the roads in his district.
Korkor posted a video of her community's terribly maintained roads that was shot in Tema Community 25 after recent rains.
She claims that Uber drivers won't come to the neighborhood to give rides because of how terrible the roads are.
She added that, as a result, she must travel in a motor vehicle to do all of her errands. As Korkor hauled local MP Sam George, she did not hold back.
She also had some harsh words to say about Stephanie Karikari, the former Miss Ghana, and former President Mahama, among many others.

“What If The ‘Big Mouth Association” Too Comes Out Angry?” – Shatta Wale Asks Ghana Society Of The Physically Disabled
After making fun of Stonebwoy's disabilities, Ghanaian reggae dancehall musician Shatta Wale has adamantly refused to apologize to the Ghana Society of Physically Disabled (GSPD).
After Wale made fun of Stonebwoy at the just-ended Salafest, the GSPD urged the singer to recant his remarks and issue an apology.
However, Shatta Wale disregarded society's plea in a widely shared video response.
The “On God” hitmaker instead questioned society's reasoning for the demand and railed against it.
The outspoken performer said, “You can't create a problem for me; I am a problem myself.” “Everything we are doing is creating an association and paying dues; there is even an unemployed people's association.”

In an interview with Angel FM, well-known Kumawood actor Oboy Siki praised his colleague Kwaku Manu for his public persona despite his affluence.
He said that Manu is someone who worked hard to get his wealth in the entertainment sector and does not show it off in public as some do.
He said that Kwaku Manu, the actor, had constructed an opulent home in East Legon and added that there were other things he had done behind the scenes that were not made public.
“A person such as Kwaku Manu presents himself as impoverished, but in reality, he is not; he just chooses not to show it off. Even if he has a home in East Legon and all, he does not lead an opulent life. I don't give a damn about what he thinks; I'm just telling the truth,” he remarked.
Actor Kwaku Manu, who is highly recognized in the nation, currently hosts a show on which he conducts interviews with celebrities, which he shares on many social media networks.
