5FM, in a Facebook post, appealed for support for the "Children's President". Mr Preko Dankwa reiterated the need for workable solutions in the creative arts industry to support such situations. "We have a serious situation in our hands as a creative arts industry and it's high time systems and structures worked to save the situation. We need our Funny Face back". "He is to visit a psychiatric hospital per a court order. We cannot see him deteriorate totally before we send a government delegation, creative arts writers writing all sort of things. I'm appealing to the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture to step in and help. This is the time!" he added. The Ofaakor circuit court, presided over by Justice Ebenezer Osei Darko, on Monday, 15 February 2021, ordered the Ghana police service to send the comic actor to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation for a two-week period. According to the court, Funny Face must be sent to the Accra Psychiatric Hospital because "He does not sound normal" and "May be having a mental crisis and possibly going through depression". Funny Face was arrested and detained by the police at Kasoa in the Central Region for unlawfully discharging a weapon on Monday, 8 February 2021. He was released days after, and has since been on an attacking spree with the police and other celebrities being his target on social media. In his rants, Funny Face accused the police of manhandling him while in custody. He also lashed out at his fellow showbiz celebrities for not speaking about how he was abused. Funny Face was allegedly re-arrested on Sunday and arraigned before court. Source | Summary

According to Mr Boakye, the 'Rockstar' was christened after him but his mother later replaced it with her second husband's surname 'Marfo'. He expressed shock at how the singer refers to himself as 'Kuami' adding that he should have stuck to the name 'Kofi' since he is a Friday born. "I'm not after his money. I have not been rich all my life but at least I'm not dead. I have other children. I have a son who just completed KNUST and a girl who is also working currently so it's not about the money. I just need to see my son. I need him to recognize me as his father.” The 'Open Gate' hitmaker has on several platforms denied knowledge of the man who claims to be his father. A photo of the star which emerged recently had him performing under the name 'Eugene Marfo Ministries' in his early years. Source | Summary

Defining who an Ex is, she said, "An ex is simply an expired boyfriend, someone you used to have an intimate relationship with some time ago in your life but due to certain reasons, the relationship had to come to an end". Talking to Mercy Bee on e.TV Ghana's Girl Vibes, she said, "Some people say something that has been expired can be renewed but in this case, it will depend on who in the relationship needs to be renewed". Yaa argued that it is very wrong for your ex to be your friend because "If he is coming back with the same vibe and same energy he had when you both were together it won't help you. So before you renew a relationship with your ex you have to know what you're doing and what you really want". She noted that some exes only want a chance to be in your life so they can monitor you and know what you're about every day, "Whether you're still as naïve and weak as they left you they do not really want friendship". She advised that the only instance where exes can remain friends is when "There is a child involved in this case both of you will have to come together to raise the child. You don't have to necessarily be together to raise the child," she mentioned. Source | Summary

"60 out of 100 broken relationships have children with their ex-partners and it is difficult for them to see each other as friends because of their recent relationships, their partners might not be okay with it but for the sake of the child you have to keep that friendship intact," she said. According to her, because there is a child one sometimes has to be friends with their ex in order for the child's parenting to go on well. Speaking with Mercy Bee on e.TV Ghana's Girl Vibes, she also said that, if you dated your mother's friend's son or daughter and the person is now an ex, but he or she always tags along when the mom is visiting, in cases like this you can't be frowning whilst everyone is smiling with them, it doesn't show maturity. "You both need to be emotionally matured for it not to affect your recent relationships", she stated. Source | Summary

Mr. Kofi Boakye claims to be the biological father of Kuami Eugene. According to Mr. Kofi Boakye, he has been diagnosed of severe high blood pressure as a result of his inability to reconcile with his son. "When I think about all of these things and the struggles I go through just to see my son, it's disturbing. I'm currently suffering from high blood pressure because I still haven't been able to meet my son. When I listen to his songs on radio, I weep," he disclosed to Kofi TV in an interview, monitored by GhanaWeb. Giving a detailed account of what ensued between himself and Kuami Eugene's mother, Mr. Boakye stated that he never abandoned his son. He said the musician's mother rather cut ties with him after he travelled to Akwatia in search of greener pastures. "After two years after he was born I travelled to Akwatia to do galamsey business and that was it. His mother took him away from me. I never heard from my boy anymore till today. During that period there was no means of communication. No phone to call his mother so I stayed for a while and returned. When I came back, I met her family members, and they all denied knowledge of her whereabouts,". He recounted an instance where he visited Peace FM on two occasions in his quest to search for his son but to no avail. "I am an avid listener of AKwasi Aboagye's show on Peace FM and there was this day Kuami Eugene was the guest on the show. Deep down in my heart, I was praying that he will be asked about issues relating to his father but he wasn't asked. So I came down to Peace FM to search for Akwasi Aboagye but I met his producer, Eugene Nkansah instead. He gave me Eugene's number and also that of his manager, Richie," he stated. Mr. Kofi Boakye has been in the news lately for claiming to be the biological father of the Lynx Entertainment signee. Following his claim, scores of Ghanaians have criticized him for abandoning his son for such a long time and resurfacing now that he has attained a level of success in his career. Kuami Eugene on the other hand has denied any form of relationship with the man. He once disclosed in an interview with Abeiku Santana that ever since he rose to fame, a lot of men have popped up claiming to be his father. Source | Summary
