Video: Twi language features in Hollywood TV series?

Kumawood has been put through dirt for their 100% Twi movies.
But it seems their competition is on its way.
One of the biggest movie industries in the world, Hollywood, took
a bite at the Twi language in their TV series called “Sleepy
Hollow” which airs on FOX.
To back our claim, watch the episode below. Unless it was edited
but the writings in the movie are correct too.

20 Years cannot be thrown away like that; VIP door was shut in my face - Promzy

 One time Vision In Progress (VIP) member Promzy real name Emmanuel Ababio has disclosed that he did not leave the VIP group willingly but was rather pushed out by the other members to make room for Reggie Rockstone, hiplife icon and CEO of Rockstone’s  office.
 
Promzy intimated that there was unity in the group and plans were afoot for new releases and tours only to be told to bow out as Reggie Rockstone was knocking on the door and making an entry to elevate the group with his networks.

The hyper rapper asserted that if he resigned of his own accord why is there no record of his resignation letter as the group was well established and run as a business entity.

When news of the split emerged, several media accounts purported that the tattooed rapper had taken the decision to spend more time with his family as well as raise his kid but Mr. Ababio noted that one does not throw away 20 years of hard work like that stressing the trio involving himself, Joseph Nana Ofori-Prodigal and Abdul Hamid Ibrahim-Zeal had toiled to make the VIP brand an international one only for the 'goodness' door to be shut in his face because someone wanted to resurrect his ailing career.

VIP is now VVIP since the addition of Reggie Rockstone. The question is if VIP stood for Vision In Progress, what does VVIP stand for?

Akablay, EL, others to rock Alliance Francaise

Ace guitarist Akablay and his Abiza Band alongside
Zohzoh Band will on Friday, July 18 rock the
Alliance Française in Accra with a concert dubbed
‘Kundum Highlife Meets Afrobeat’.
Noted for a brand of highlife known as ‘Kundum
Highlife’, Abiza Band has in recent years
mesmerised fans in several towns and cities in
Denmark with magnetic performances.
Formed in 2005, Abiza Band has carved a niche
for itself through authentic Ghanaian highlife,
which is the result of a subtle expropriation of the
elements of traditional rhythms from the Western
Region, which has been described by critics as
‘Kundum Highlife’.
Led by Yaw Boateng, Zohzoh Band is expected to
thrill the audience with a cool blend of highlife
and Afrobeat alongside influences from late Fela
Kuti, Miles Davies, Peter Tosh, James Brown and
ET Mensah.
On Saturday, July 19, the Alliance Française would
equally go gay with another performance by
rapper and singer EL.
This young and talented music icon is a multi-
talented artiste with a multi-national fan base
from Ghana and beyond.
He is working tirelessly to promote and improve
the quality of Ghanaian music on the
international market.
A natural performer with good stagecraft, anytime
E.L grabs the microphone on stage; music fans
see him as a real music icon whose presence
would boost the image of Ghanaian music on the
international music market.
He is expected to surprise the audience with a
blend of different varieties of music inspired from
various sources.
E.L has appeared on many musical concerts held
in the country and performed with music stars
like Sarkodie, J. Martins, 9ice, Fabulous and Rick
Ross.
Arguably one of the biggest producers cum
rappers, he has lent his blend of hip-hop/afro
beat sounds and voice to major hits for the likes
of Sarkodie’s ‘You Go Kill Me’, ‘Dangerous’, D-
Black’s ‘Get On The Dance Floor’, Reggie
Rockstone’s ‘Rockstone’s Office’, Asem’s ‘Check
Your Weight’ and many more.
Also on the bill are Joey B, M.anifest, Ko-jo Cue,
Sarkodie, Lil Shaker, Edem, Stargo, C Real, Dex
Kwesi, Gemini, PK and many more.
Both concerts are being supported by Institut
Français (Ghana) Alliance Française (Accra), French
Embassy, Ashfoam, Novotel Hotel, Canal+,
CANALSAT, Yoyo and others.

I have not disrespected Muslims – Herty Borngreat

Ghanaian Gospel musician Herty Borngreat’s approach of getting her fans active and interactive with her regular “type Amen” posts is not new someone like me and you might have come across similar posts of hers if you spend more time on Facebook.

This approach which normally asks you to “type Amen” on posts just to avert curses or avoid any bad happening has been very helpful as her page is always active however, one of such posts has incurred the wrath of many in the Islamic faith as a recent post that had Prophet Mohammed bow to Jesus Christ with the inscription “every knee shall bow” has caused a lot of uproar among both Islamic community in Ghana.

After publications of her disrespecting Muslims broke last week and went viral, the artist has expressed dissatisfaction at the news and blamed journalists for not contacting her for the reality of the situation.

In an interview with News One, the management of the artist disclosed the picture was a Photoshop image embossed on a snapshot of her Facebook page to make it seem as if she was the one who published it.

“It is a very dangerous lie people are spreading about me. An evil lie that can spark a religious dispute and religious hatred and I want to use your medium to urge all well-meaning people in the media to help me to tell the world it is not true. That photo did not come from me or my camp. We have never uploaded or published such a photo and I suspect it is a Photoshop some people with a bad motive have designed to cause hatred for me.

“I believe in peaceful religious tolerance and co-existence because our belief in one God should unite us rather than divide us. Some call Him Allah, some call Him Adonai, some call Him Jehovah but God is one and that is what should unite us. I know the calamity religious disputes have brought to other countries. We don’t want that to happen in Ghana,” Herty told NEWS-ONE on Sunday.

She continued: “My attention was drawn to that report on Sunday morning and when I searched it on Google, I was shocked that people would write such a thing about me without even cross-checking from me. Why would I put out a photo that is offensive to the sentiments of Muslims? I have a very good relationship with the Islamic community.

At the last Salafest at Nima, I was there to perform for my Muslim family and I hope to be there this year because I have a lot of respect for Muslims and a huge fan base from the Islamic Community. I would not insult Muslims, I have not insulted Muslims and I feel disappointed by the false report.

“I call on all persons who have seen that report to disregard it. It is not from me and we are investigating to get to the bottom of it. Today, I am the victim, tomorrow it may be someone else and if we do not unite to speak out against such things, we do not know what it may lead to in future. Religious disputes and conflicts and discrimination are things we must all guard against.”

The comments from the management somehow seem interesting to me as the account that posted that picture is an account of hers unless we are meant to believe the usual concert party thoughts of “The account was hacked” or “The account does not belong to us”, which I would be very shocked.

I believe it is time, our people suffered the repercussions of their actions and stopped their easy of massaging issues.

Juliet Ibrahim reveals she admires Iyanya

Iyanya, Nigeria’s fast-rising music artiste, to some people, is not in the good books of Ghanaian actresses, who probably must have felt bad with the way he allegedly treated one of their ‘sisters’, Yvonne Nelson, who he reportedly dated and dumped later.

At the Ghana Music Awards held some weeks ago in Accra, it was reported that Yvonne Okoro initially snubbed the Nigerian singer, after he made efforts to drag her to the stage to dance with him.

As then reported, Iyanya, while performing at the event, called on his alleged former lover’s namesake to come on stage with him to probably ‘shake’ her waist, but she declined. It was said that Iyanya was later forced to meet with Yvonne Okoro on seat, called on her severally until the lady was embarrassed and forced herself to heed to the call.

However, while some Ghanaians may not like Iyanya for what he ‘did’ to Yvonne Nelson, by only interested in Yvonne Nelson’s ‘waist’, Juliet Ibrahim sees Iyanya as an admirable and talented act.

According to Juliet, while speaking in an interview on AY Show, confessed that Iyanya is one of the Nigerian artistes she admires, just like Flavour, another Nigerian music star.

Juliet stated that she likes Iyanya mostly in his R&B form, describing him as a good and talented singer.http://cdn.ghanaweb.com/GHP/img/pics/41469876.295.jpg

Yvonne Okoro: I am not broke!

No nonsense actress Yvonne Okoro has vented her spleen at those involved in the brouhaha over her recent ‘repeated dress,' saying, “I will repeat my dress.”

Yvonne, last week, repeated a yellow Karen Millen modern tribal dress she wore in August 2012 at Showbiz Honours on a movie set in Nigeria.

Subsequent media reports claimed that the actress decided to repeat the dress because “she is broke.”

But the beautiful award-winning actress described the claims as “unintelligent and childish.”

She said she found it difficult to comprehend how “any learned person” would think that repeating a dress determined one’s bank account.

“I will repeat my dress anytime I want to. I don’t owe anybody any explanation. Billionaires and millionaires all over the world can repeat dresses and its fine, but we can’t. Who is arresting me for doing so? The inspector dress or the FBI of clothes?” Yvonne Okoro made a fun of her critics when NEWS-ONE contacted her yesterday.

Earlier, she took to instagram to react to the claims, advising young girls, “…if it looks that good let no one tell you, you can’t wear more than once. Bring back our girls to reality.”

She also denied claims about how she acquired her Mercedes Benz
