Why are they not playing 'Kpuu Kpa' here? - Shatta Wale asks in Miami bar

Posted: 29 Mar 2021 12:30 AM PDT

Shatta Wale is out of Ghana vacationing in Miami and he keeps sharing updates from his base in the U.S with his fans.

From bemoaning Ghanaians in Ghana to "travel abroad and open your brains" to forking out USD7,000 (equivalent to GHC40,000) to shop at one of the world's most valuable luxury brand, Louis Vuitton, store in Miami, Shatta is now talking about music.

According to the award-winning Ghanaian dancehall act, ever since he landed in Miami a few days ago, he has not heard any Ghanaian song, not even his popular 'Kpuu Kpaa' and he doesn't understand why.

"Since I dey Miami here, they haven't played Ghana music one sef for here," Shatta Wale said while sipping a drink at an open bar. He continued that "they no play Kpuu Kpa for here, I don't understand why they play Kpuu Kpa for here".


The father of three went on to add that "E b so so Spanish songs I dey hear". His comments are coming at a time that he has been subjected to criticism for not putting in the effort to sell his songs outside and possibly reaching the Grammys.

Shatta Wale in reply insisted that he blames gatekeepers in the music space because of how they are always criticizing acts without putting in the effort to project musicians in a positive light.

Hear more from Shatta Wale in the video below as he also criticizes Ghanaians for not matching up to Miami when it comes to the standard of living.

Charles Okpaleke & Ramsey Nouah set to produce a Jaja of Opobo biopic, here's everything we know so far

Posted: 28 Mar 2021 10:30 PM PDT

Charles Okpaleke and Ramsey Nouah have acquired the rights to produce a biopic based on the life of King Jaja of Opobo kingdom.

The biopic will reportedly take on an authentic perspective of the slave boy who rose to become one of the most revered monarchs in history.

The filmmaker announced on Friday March 25, via Instagram that the new biopic will take on an authentic perspective of the famed king who founded the Opobo kingdom.

"Myself and @ramseynouah are proud to announce that we have acquired the rights to tell the famed story of King Jaja from an authentic perspective, having the privilege of sitting with King Dandeson Douglas, Jeki V (5th on the throne) during the sesquicentennial celebration of Opobo Kingdom. We can say we have the authentic account of the eventful life of King Jaja and we are set to tell it in a gripping way as you all have come to expect from us", Okpaleke wrote.

Okpaleke's latest announcement comes months after confirming the acquisition of rights to produce a biopic based on infamous kingpin Shina Rambo. The Play Network boss revealed that he held a meeting with Rambo who is currently an evangelist, before securing the rights.

King Jaja of Opobo
There are several accounts of the 19th century king's life and death but one thing all the accounts agree is that he was among the first monarchs to resist British colonialism and died trying.

Sold into slavery at age 12, Jubo Jubogha rose in ranks as a politician and merchant prince heading the Anna Pepple House, a merchant faction of Bonny Island.

A major dispute later led Jaja to establishing a settlement which he named Opobo in 1869. As king, Opobo dominated the palm oil trade business and traded without British interference.

Events took a nosedive when the British moved to claim Opobo after European powers declared it a British territory. King Jaja refused to concede power or cease taxing British traders.

In 1887, Henry Hamilton Johnson, a British vice-consul invited Jaja to a smokescreen negotiation. King Jaja was later tried in Ghana and sent off on exile first to London then later to the West Indies.

She took to her Instagram page to upload a video of herself as she explains that when a man you are dating is too busy for you and doesn't give you enough "ear" time, then that man is not good enough to be with you.

This is because when one loves, they love completely and want to talk to the person every day.

Anita Joseph further explains that she wouldn't want to marry a man who is wealthy but abusive. She made emphasis on her peace of mind being paramount in any relationship she's involved in. The actress further encourages women to pray for a good man.

She said;

"If you are dating a guy and he doesn't talk to you every day, my sister he is not for you, "he is too busy" it's a lie if you love a man or woman you will talk to the person every day. You need to check up on that person.

Women pray for a good man and he will find you. I pray that your time will not pass you by, you shall be fruitful and all your desires shall come to pass. I pray you to bring love and peace to your home and family. Marriage is partnership and oneness. Love you my darlings."
