Patapaa applies for passport, readies for 'One corner' international shows

Swedru-based artiste, Patapaa has been spotted at the Accra Passport Center processing his document in readiness for international shows.

He was seen wearing a blue t-shirt on a white trouser, with his signature white handkerchief wrapped around his right arm.

Known in private life as Justice Amoah, the artiste has swept off Ghanaians off their feet with his single hit ‘One corner.’

The song has become the favourite of many and can be heard blaring with people busily gyrating to it at funerals, wedding ceremonies, street jams and naming ceremonies.

US-based Ghanaian gospel musician, Sonnie Badu had raised concerns about the nature of dance that accompanies the song.

“It’s getting dangerous,” he said. “I saw someone climb an electric pole, I saw someone climb a tipper truck, and I saw someone run under a car.”

Sonnie Badu believes something had to be done because things are now “getting out of hand.”

But the song is reportedly getting some traction in Nigeria with some big names in the country’s music industry dancing to it.

Artiste Reekado Banks, currently on the Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records, was captured in a video joining the craze.

He was later to write on Instagram: “The #OneCorner virus hit us while in the studio. We couldn’t resist it.”

The acceptance of the ‘One Corner’ song outside Ghana might soon be followed by invitations to perform at international shows and Patapaa has shown he does not want to miss out on that.

It is not clear when his passport might be ready, but it is clear he will get several invitations to perform at shows during Christmas.

If I Die I’ll Be Remembered As An Ashaiman Hero — Stonebwoy

Livingstone Etse Satekla, aka Stonebwoy, is definitely the biggest export Ashaiman gave to Ghana and after holding his massive concert last week, Stonebwoy has granted himself legendary status.

Speaking on stage at the concert, the dancehall star said that if he dies, he’ll die a hero to all the people of Ashaiman.

Stonebwoy organized and pulled off ‘Ashaiman to the World’ last weekend in his adopted home town, with the event held at an outdoor venue to get as many patrons in as possible.

It was a sort of thank-you event from the artist to the town which shaped him into who he has become.

Singing to an adoring crowd, Stonebwoy said — “Wherever I go, the first thing that, comes out of my mouth is Ashaiman, am not afraid, I don’t feel shy that, I am an Ashaiman boy.”

“I feel too proud to have emerged from Ashaiman and would not hesitate to continue to broadcast that, to let the world know that Ashaiman too has good stuff.

“Brothers you see, if I die for Ashaiman today, I no say I be hero.” he added.

This is why Kumi Guitar performed in a wheelchair at Ashaiman last Saturday

Performers always ponder over how to sweep audience of their feet and when it is well executed, they are applauded.

Over the years, we have witnessed crazy entries from artistes – Kwaw Kese ironing his dress right on stage, Shatta Wale on a sick bed, Eno appearing from a coffin and Obour showing up in a pot!

Well, highlife artiste, Kumi Guitar was in a wheelchair while performing his hit song, ‘Dream’ at Stonebwoy’s ‘Ashaiman to the World’ concert, Saturday.

‘Dream’ talks about Kumi Guitar’s dream to see highlife retake its rightful place on the pedestal of Ghanaian music.

Sitting in a wheelchair and subsequently rising appears to depict the crippled status of highlife music and the hope of its recovery.

Baby Blanche confirms she wears no panties

Ghanaian actress, Baby Blanche has disclosed the fact that she does not wear panties. She made this revelation in an interview with Andrew Tandoh Adote on the TONIGHT show. 

The lady who is the brain behind the ‘operation remove your dross now’ campaign attested to the fact that her campaign is an actual reflection of what she does. 

“I practice what I preach. Fact that you practice it does not mean you should go about telling everybody about it”, she said. 

Blanche said the initiative is being taken out of context. She explained that the campaign arose from a need she saw to enlighten ladies on the fact that wearing panties and other underwear under the ‘harsh’ weather conditions in the country increases their chances of getting candidiasis infections. 

The campaign is to help ‘some sisters’ out there, she explained. 

Quizzed on how she felt about Akuma Mama Zimbi’s critique of the movement, she said ‘She’s someone I admire. I felt she didn’t listen to the details of my campaign. The theme alone made her come out.”
She added that if Akuma had paid more attention to the movement, she would not have made some of those comment. 

“I feel if she had listened more to what I was trying to say and weighed her options, she would have agreed with me to a certain extent.” 

Baby Blanche explained that she accepts the fact that not everyone will agree with her adding that she sees Akumaa a mother figure and so is not much bothered about her comments. 

She remarked that in addition to donating some stuff to people all the time, she could go about creating awareness of this nature in order to “help some sisters.”
