Happenings In Gold Coast

The multiple-award-winning producer who is known for grooming some of the best musicians in Ghana said he could commit to music and his bread business. Speaking exclusively to host DJ Slash, he said he is now committing his full time to his bread business. Hammer told the host that he is no longer active in music because he does not have time to combine music and the bread business. According to him, A1 Bread has a significant market share in the country hence his services are demanded day and night and "So I do not get time to combine music and the business". He said "People always want me to combine the music and the bread business but I always tell them I cannot do it. Music for me is emotional. When I make music, I invest every time and emotion. Music for me is emotional. I cannot combine the two. It is either I commit fully to music or another thing. I put everything inside. It is not easy.” "That is me. I use music to express my feelings. I cannot do it part-time. It is either I am making music or I am selling g bread. I cannot sell bread and make music.” Source | Summary

According to media personality, Chris-Vincent Agyapong, Becca refused to attend the funeral because of the long-lasting feud she had with the deceased. He continued that the family were not taken aback when the Ghanaian musician was absent during the funeral; adding that, the decision taken by Becca was disrespectful. "Ghanaian musician, Becca can be described as many things – arrogant, disrespectful, a hypocrite, and even roguish. But I don't think anyone expected her to show such gross impertinence by failing to show up at the burial of her mother, Juliana Yiadom Oti who died in London on 7th January 2021," Chris-Vincent said. He added that "The family of Juliana Yiadom Oti in London who were not amazed as Becca's failure to attend the last Saturday burial service anticipated her contemptuous behaviour and therefore completely cut her off from the mentions in Juliana Oti's 'Celebration of Life' book.” He made these comments in a Facebook post sighted by GhanaWeb.

This song was played at most events – weddings, drinking spots and parties. One name that was dominant in the song was 'Ama Agyeiba,' wife of the veteran musician. 'Ama Agyeiba eii, m'ahu odo ama m'anya shock oo. Narrating how he met his wife in an interview with Kofi TV, monitored by GhanaWeb, Alibaba Foster, a Fante explained that he met his wife when he went to his hometown. "My father was called Ali and a Fante, his ghost was always following me around. People who have eyes usually saw him around me. I dreamt I was married to a woman called Ama…I travelled to my hometown to follow the progress of my housing project. I was in town and saw the lady. My mother was forcing me to marry from my hometown…Within two weeks we got married after the necessary rites were done.” "I rewrote my song 'Odo Shock' to capture her beauty. So I came to Accra with my wife when it was time for the recording of the song. My late father's ghost showed himself to my wife and told her so many things at the hotel we lodged. I had to calm her down.” When quizzed about how she was able to see the spirit of his late father, Alibaba responded: "She is a marine spirit. We have so many of them on this earth.” Source | Summary

Narrating the incident in a social media post, the social commentator, Chris-Vincent Agyapong alleged that, not even her mother's sister and step-siblings got a call from Becca. "I've been told that she didn't even call the family in the UK and I mean her stepbrothers and husband of her mother or even her mother's sister.” He averred that Becca's failure to show up at her mother's funeral is disrespecting and hypocritical of her because she announced the death of her mother on social media – Instagram. Chris-Vincent highlighted in his Facebook post that, "Becca did not make peace with her mother before she died. In fact, she did not even attempt to reach out to her following the media outburst about 2 years ago. Yet, when the mother died, as expectant of a hypocrite, she took to Instagram to say she was hurt by the death of her mother and that day was the most painful in her life.” Source | Summary

The fans of Fancy Gadam were on their way to welcome Nigerian artiste Patoranking for Fancy Gadam's biggest concert at the Tamale Stadium when the unfortunate event occurred which led to the cancellation of the concert. The 2018 VGMA Hiplife Artiste of the Year, in a Graphic Showbiz reportage, disclosed that memories from the accident still haunts him despite having undergone several counselling. "Since the incident, I have been through difficult times including going through a lot of counselling. I had more than four counsellors talking to me for more than a year. Although I didn't fall into depression, I had so many things running through my mind and I don't think I can get over it and totally erase it from my mind," he said. According to the artiste, he nearly gave up on being a musician but it took the intervention of his management and fans who love his songs to get him back on track. "I didn't want to have anything to do with music, the reason nothing has been heard from me in a while. I was still dealing with the situation and I wish it had never happened because I don't joke with my fans and seeing four of them die was a big blow to me.” "These are fans who were there for me when I was nobody. They show me love every day and it will not be right for me to just forget about music and just leave them there but if I had my own way, I would just quit music for good and concentrate on other things," Fancy Gadam said. Fancy Gadam who is set to release his EP is optimistic of having a successful year despite the prevailing coronavirus pandemic. "My EP is almost ready and the fans are going to love it. I took my time to work on the EP and trust me I have the best artistes featured on it. Coronavirus or not, I am going to break through this year," he stated. Source | Summary
