Showbiz pundits, NYB of Muse Africa and Roland Amartey of Event Guide have both reacted to Shatta Wale and Samini’s beef. 

Speaking on the issue, Roland said Shatta Wale was the one who replied to the beef but not the one who initiated it. He also added that, Shatta Wale asked Samini to release the song but he wasn’t around to do that. 

On the other hand, NYB also said this is part of the dancehall culture but Samini did not start the beef. For him, Shatta Wale started the beef when he dropped “1Don”. Please watch the below below: 

Rapper Kwaw Kese says his colleague musicians, Shatta Wale and Samini should stop fooling because they are adults and must lead an exemplary life.

Former President and flag bearer of NDC, John Dramani Mahama has come out to speak on why he is not working with celebrities during this year’s campaign period. 

According to the NDC flag bearer the supporters of the musicians and celebrities does not understand the role of these people to a political party hence it goes along way to affect their careers. 

In 2016, Ghana’s Ex-President also worked with a lot of celebrities from the likes of John Dumelo to Mzbel, Tracy Boakye just to list a few. These celebrities went from North to South and to West to campaign for the then-sitting president of Ghana John Mahama. 

Also in 2008, the sitting president now, Nana Addo also used alot of celebrities during his campaign. 

John Mahama was speaking on Star 103.5FM in Accra as part of his media tour ahead of December elections in Ghana. His comment comes at a time where two big names in the Ghan music industry have endorsed his opponent – Nana Addo. 

This is what the Ex-President said.

The NDC Flagbearer’s comment serves as a response to Sarkodie and Samini. Both artists released songs to back Nana Addo ahead of the December elections.

Sarkodie released Happy Day featuring Kuami Eugene

While Samini also released Kpoyaka

November came bearing gifts of music to music lovers as 5 new music was released in Ghana. 

Our new music highlights a new female songstress Mishasha. The ‘Addition’ hitmaker enlists “Inveecinble” Mzvee for her new song titled 1 by 1.  The list also selects new artist Lebanese Rapper @tafoarabi and @spacely1z’s new track “T-Rex”.  

While Kelvynboy’s STYLE off his Black Star album also made our list of new music to enjoy, Sarkodie and Samini are in there with their politically correct endorsed songs for Ghana’s sitting president – Nana Addo.

Mishasha ft MzVee – 1by1 

The female dancehall collaboration is tagged as the very recent one in the Ghanaian music space. Mzvee who is known for countless dancehall songs supports new female songstress Misasha on a new jam. 

Kelvynboy – Style

The whole country is waiting for his new album BLACK STAR. With a successful launch over the weekend, Kelvynboy whose new song, STYLE is off the album uses this single as a teaser to the main album. The new album will be out on November 6th. 

Samini – Kpoyaka 

Dancehall artist and forever king Samini is also on the list with his political endorsement song for Ghana’s Sitting president. Samini first made his intentions known with a post calling out the president and asking fans to guess what is coming.

Then a post by the President confirmed that Samini the MOBO award-winning artist is campaigning for the party in power – NPP in Ghana. The song Kpoyaka produced by JMJ already has taken over the streets as many love it. 

Rapper @tafoarabi and @spacely1z’s new track “T-Rex”.  

Ghana-based Lebanese Rapper Tafo, an affiliate of Labadi Music, has teamed up with $pacely to release a new hip-hop single titled ’T-Rex’. The song is very wavy and will get you nodding throughout. 

Sarkodie ft Kuami Eugene – Happy Day 

In his new single released recently titled Happy Day, Africa’s most decorated rapper categorically stated that his support for this year’s elections is for the sitting president – Nana Addo. 

During the week, we jammed to a new song by Ghanaian Reggae and Dancehall star Samini titled: Akɛjo. The latter literally means dance for me in English. Akɛjo is a local dialect used by the Ga people in Ghana a lot. 

In a Ga traditional area you will hear 2/3 of people using the word to tell others to dance. When you go to a naming ceremony and wedding in some GA homes, the master of ceremonies usually will use ‘Akɛjo’ more times to signify the importance of dance or dancing. 

Why the long explanation of the word ‘Akɛjo’, it is simply because Samini known in real life as Emmanuel Andrews Samini uses the word to signify his power in the music industry. 

In his new jam ‘Akɛjo’, the forever hit maker states emphatically that every year Ghanaians depend on him for the biggest song to dance with and that statement is why we stretched on the meaning of the title of the song. 

Ghana’s Samini new single Akɛjo’ features young fast rising Larruso and former BHIM signee Kelvynboy who is gearing up for his debut album titled; Black Star. 

The brainy beat produced song is very catchy, it is one that you will quickly jump to the dance floor to dace to hence the title: Akɛjo’. 

Samini before this beautiful record had released a tune called Forever where he throws a lot of heavy shots to his fellow colleagues in the industry especially those in the dancehall space so we thought new song was going to be a party single (which it is) but he makes certain statements with the song and visualizer that we want to point out. 

These are 10 things to pay attention to when listening and watching the new Samini featuring Kelvynboy and Larruso – Akɛjo’.

1. He calls himself, Mr. drop a banger every year: Now, in the forever song, Samini mentioned that some people want him dead and gone but he is king forever. Fast forward to Akɛjo’ he comes back to claim the title as the king of Bangers. (Interesting shots there but to who tho) 
2. Mr. Fresh Rasta of the Year: We know that in Ghana Samini has arguably been tagged as the cleanest ‘rasta’ and ladies man but until recent time. This title has been challenged once by his own prodigy Stonebwoy hence he stating that he is the cleanest ‘rasta’ is a clear sign of claiming his title. 
3. Another banger in the Basket, slam dunk on the evil into a casket (we hope we got it right): Samini spends two lines to state his reign in the dancehall industry. Could this be a shot or a fact. 
4. The Choice of artist for the collaboration: Samini strategically works with Kelvynboy who just had a fall out with Stonebwoy to prove a point. Kelvynboy on the other hand uses the song to show his dancehall prowess because he is usually on more acrobats songs.
5. Larruso factor: In 2018 Samini was the first to introduce young Larruso on stage at the VVIP Salah fest inside NIMA. Samini gives way for young Larruso to shine but never claimed it until this song. We all know that Stonebwoy has worked with Larruso on his arguably biggest hit yet “Killy Killy” making him look like he led the way for the young king but Samini had already done that and in this song he makes sure he takes his glory.  

1. The call and response with Kelvynboy: In the song Akɛjo, Samini does some sort of a freestyle call and response thing with Kelvynboy. That style is something that he usually will do with Stonebwoy. Samini is trying to put across that he is able to connect with just any other good artist out there like he does with his son. Kelvynboy on the other hand delivers melodic lines to compliment Samini’s words and the two link up nice on the song. 
2. In the animated video Stonebwoy is missing in Samini’s Dansoman based barbering shop. In the animated video a barber has a painting of all the boys (artists including Kofi Kinaata) around Samini except Stonebwoy. Is the fight between father and son real? 
3. The tribute to the late Ebony and Dr. Kwame Nkrumah: Samini pays a tribute to the late Ebony and Kwame Nkrumah who are both seen dancing in a strange way however its arts and it is beautiful. 
4. If it is dancehall music they can’t: Samini continuously slams it into our ears that if it is about dancehall music he is untouchable like DJ Mensah. 
5. The helicopter scene: When you flying high you don’t look like stopping and for us, the Samini helicopter scene is to signify the start of some thing huge coming. 

Ghana’s first Mobo ward winning reggae and dancehall artiste Samini nailed it with the new jam Akɛjo and you got to listen to it.
