From being touted as ‘The ladies’ to be being called ‘The man with many wives’, the self-acclaimed ‘King of African Dancehall’, Samini, seems to have shirked all those titles and wants the title, ‘Man with no wives’.

The dancehall artiste has revealed that, he is no longer married and has no wife presently, contrary to the known fact that he had two wives.

Making the revelation to Delay Frimpong Manso on the ‘Delay Show’ after some hesitation, Samini said that he had married two ladies at a young age with the perception that he was doing the honourable thing of marrying all the mothers of his children.

According to him, he felt he was doing the right thing but the ladies, after a while did not agree to the arrangement of being married to the same man and the circumstances of the marriages and decided to call it quit; so he is currently with no wife.

‘I don’t have a wife. Everybody has gone their separate ways.

Thanks to civilization, my former wives decided to stop the marriage,’ he disclosed.

Samini defended his action of marrying more than one woman by saying: “where I come from, it is acceptable to marry more than one woman and it was my wish to marry all the mothers of my kids and make them comfortable.

I thought I was doing the right thing but the women felt otherwise”

“Once you can take care of your wives and children, it is acceptable to marry the women as a responsible
man,” he continued.

The irony of Samini’s marriage life which hit the headlines years ago was not about his marriage to two different women but how he did it.

In February 2011, Samini got married to Mercy Geker, mother of his daughter, Yelisun Samini in London.

At the time, Samini was already engaged to Christian Aboagye Mensah, a Ghanaian-based in Canada and the mother of his daughters- Toyila Samini and Ayana Samini, unbeknownst to Mercy Geker.

Samini, on 10th May 2011, officially registered his marriage to Christiana Aboagye Mensah in a low profile ceremony which took place at the Registrar General’s Office in Accra in the presence of their children.

Samini currently has four kids, three girls and one boy from different women but he is not married to any of the women, per his account.

Samini is also gearing up to open a restaurant/night club called ‘Dance Sterdam’ at Dansoman.

According to him, the place will serve as a restaurant during the day and a nightclub in the evening; and will be opened very soon.

Ghana’s top actor, John Dumelo, has made it known that he sometimes gets affected by the role he plays in movies.

He made reference to a particular movie in which he acted as an aggressive husband.

“There was one time I was to act as an aggressive and abusive husband towards Nigerian actress Rita Dominic.

I was given a script to act like an aggressive husband who was supposed to be beating his wife every day.

The character had so much impact on me that by the time the shooting was complete – I became so aggressive.

It took me some days to come to myself,’ he revealed.
These occurrences seem to have strengthened the actor who has a passion for acting.

The actor who was in the company of his colleague, Majid Michael, went on to reveal his challenges as a new actor.

“There were lots of criticisms, and in the first movie I casted, I was paid Ghc10.00, but because I know what I was looking for I did not complain.

I have not been to any acting school, but because of the passion, determination and support I got from people, I was able to make it to the top.”

The handsome actor has already started giving back to society as he has opened an acting school named John Dumelo Film Academy to nurture young talents.

He further revealed his dream to act in Hollywood should an opportunity arise.

He expressed the belief that Ghana can reach a Hollywood status if the movie industry could be developed to attain more international recognition.

Yvonne Nelson wasn’t at the recently held Vodafone Ghana Music Awards and she used the opportunity to dispel assertions that her absence was because of Iyanya, her ex-boyfriend who has billed to perform.

Many listeners have said it behind radio presenter Jeremie Van-Garshong’s back that she fakes her accent whenever she is on air.

When Showbiz told her last Monday about what her critics are saying, she responded with a long laughter and revealed that she herself has received similar bashing.

“I cannot fake my accent, this is how I have been speaking when I was young and anyone who knows me can tell you.

God has blessed me with this accent and I am happy to say my accent has taken me to a lot of places,” the 29 year-old radio presenter told Showbiz.

According to Jeremie, her command over the English language has given her the courage to interview international celebrities such as Ludacris, Trey Songz, Rick Ross, Keri Hilson, Bow Wow, Shontelle, T- Pain and Fabulous.

“Whenever I interview international celebrities, I feel like I’m speaking to my next door neighbour because I flow easily with them. I don’t feel intimated by their presence.

Jeremie started her radio career from Vibe Fm and later moved to YFM and after winning the hearts of many Ghanaians with her Y Lounge on YFM for five years, she moved to Live FM where she currently hosts the drive time show.

She is currently a brand ambassador for Malta Guinness and the Africa Rising Campaign Inspiring young people around Ghana and Africa and giving them an opportunity to share their inspirational stories with the rest of the world.

Lawrence Asiamah Hanson aka Bull Dog Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bull Haus entertainment and manager of popular dancehall artiste Shatta Wale appeared in court this morning in connection with the murder of the late Fennec Okyere.

The Accra Central Magistrate Court presided over by Her Worship Mavis Nyamaa Quanoo has adjourned hearing of the case involving Lawrence Nana Asiama Hanson also known as Bulldog and the state to June 2, 2014.

After the most anticipated court hearing this morning, Bulldog has been remanded in police custody for two weeks to enable the police conduct further investigations into the murder of Emmanuel Fennec Okyere.

This followed an argument from the prosecution that they needed more time to conduct further investigations into the case.

However, leading Lawyer for Bulldog, Gary Nimako rejected calls for his client to be remanded in police custody.

He argued that the charges leveled against his client (Bulldog) – conspiracy to commit murder and committing murder cannot hold because the prosecution has not been able to link his client to Fennec’s murder.

Bulldog was arrested in public on Thursday afternoon May 15 in Kokomlemle, a suburb of Accra, as a prime suspect in the death of Fennec Okyere.

Bulldog, who has been accused for conspiracy in the murder of Fennec Okyere, the Manager of the controversial hiplife artiste, Kwaw Kesse, alias Abodam, looked well composed and told well- wishers, friends and family present in court to keep calm and that everything will be fine.

Some of the familiar faces present in court this morning includes two members of newly reconstituted Hiplife group VVIP –Reggie Rockstone and Zeal (Formerly known as Lazzy), Bulldog’s father Mr. Hanson, Mr. Mensah father of dancehall artiste Shatta Wale among others.

Interestingly Shatta Wale himself was not seen anywhere around the court premises.

Originator of hip-life music, Reggie Rockstone says he is disappointed in the number of hip life artistes who didn't attend the campaign for fairness, transparency and equity in the distribution of royalties against Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO).

Rockstone was among the several music right owners who turned up at a seminar on Tuesday to call on the interim GHAMRO Board headed by Carlos Sekyi, to respect the constitution governing its operations.

Okyeame Kwame, Kojo Antwi, Daddy Lumba, Abrantie Amakye Dede, Rex Omar, Lazy, Daddy Bosco, Prodigal, Appietus, Bessa Simons, and Obour were also present at the event.

Speaking at the seminar, Rockstone said royalties are crucial to musicians, especially hip-life artistes who are in the majority and the young crop of artistes in Ghana’s music industry.

He said hip-life musicians would be the ones to suffer most in the future if they did not join the campaign to ensure the proper handling of royalties.

Reggie was at the seminar with the two members of the newly constituted VVIP group, which used to be VIP until Promzy exited.

However, current hot artistes like Sarkodie, Samini,Shatta Wale, Castro, EL, Joe B, Kaakie, Stonebwoy, Chase Forever, SK Originale, Guru, Obrafour, Kwabena Kwabena, Gallaxy, R2bees, Edya, Tiffany, Jon Germain and 4x4 among others were missing at the event.

Reggie expressed disappointment at the number of hip-life artistes who turned up at the meeting,urging them to get involved in such activities.

“I know we shouldn’t wash our dirty linen in public.

All right, this is for television. I am quite disappointed in how many of the hip life soldiers turned up for this meeting.

If you are watching and you are home, I want you to understand something; I have things to do too. This fight is for you (hip-lifers). It is not for us; when your uncles can get up and come here and represent. So please, I don’t know if they informed you or they didn’t.

However,this fight is about you because if you leave me alone,I am ok. I am ok. We can eat. It is about you - hip- life. Transparency and Accountability,” Reggie Rockstone said.

A number of hip-life artistes had raised red flags in the past for not receiving royalties since they started their career.

Reggie felt this was the time to make sure they stood up for what rightfully belonged to them.
