Ghanaian social media sensation Firdaus Iddrisu, popularly known as Shatta Bandle, has issued a public apology following a controversial incident where he was seen spraying Naira notes at an event in Lagos.
The incident occurred during his recent trip to Nigeria for the funeral of the famous actor Mr. Ibu on June 28. A viral video captured Shatta Bandle generously spraying Naira notes, an act that quickly drew the attention of the Nigerian public and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Nigeria maintains strict regulations against the abuse of its currency, and Shatta Bandle’s actions have become a focal point due to these laws. Earlier this year, Nigerian celebrity Bobrisky faced similar scrutiny and was arrested by the EFCC for spraying cash at a movie premiere, charged with currency mutilation and abuse.
In his apology, Shatta Bandle expressed deep remorse, explaining that his actions were not intended to disrespect Nigerian laws. He clarified that he initially started spraying dollars but switched to Naira when the dollars ran out. “I respect the EFCC and Nigerian laws. Nigeria is my second home. I apologize to everyone, especially the EFCC, for what I have done,” he stated.
The Naira mutilation law stipulates that anyone convicted of abusing the currency or tampering with coins or notes faces a minimum imprisonment of six months or a fine of at least N50,000 (approximately US$37), or both.
Born Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye, Bobrisky was convicted (6 months in jail) without the option of a fine, emphasizing the gravity of the offense. The judge, Justice Abimbola Awogboro, highlighted the importance of upholding the integrity of the Naira and ensuring compliance with the law to prevent further damage to the currency.

Reggae icon Luciano has raised concerns about Ghanaian musician Stonebwoy’s use of patois in his music. In a recent interview, Luciano mentioned that while many African artists are adopting Jamaican styles, their attempts often miss the mark.
Luciano observed that these artists strive to incorporate Jamaican influences, but their efforts lack genuine authenticity and clarity.
When discussing the differences between African and Jamaican music styles, Luciano emphasized that some African musicians’ imitations fail to capture the true essence of Jamaican music.
Using Stonebwoy as an example, Luciano noted that despite Stonebwoy’s efforts to use patois, it remains unintelligible to native Jamaicans.
Luciano remarked that only God understands what Stonebwoy is trying to express, highlighting the gap between the intended Jamaican influence and its actual execution.

I did a lot of things by posting on my social media, and that’s the biggest contract I’ve ever signed,” Dancer and member of Dance With Purpose (DWP) group, Roland Frimpong Nyarko, better known as Champion Rollie, has disclosed.

Ghanaian Radio Presenter, Andy Dosty has reacted to reports of charging Cape Coast based artistes the sum of GHC1.5k before granting them an interview on Hitz FM.
These allegations were made by a serial promoter based in Cape Coast who bears the name Nana Yaw in an interview with Kofy Jesse TV.
According to him, most Cape Coast-based artistes are not willing to pay promoters there to promote their craft perhaps they have the perception that Cape Coast promoters are limited.
Consequently, these artistes desire to get Accra-based promoters and in so doing end up as prey in the hands of Hitz FM’s Andy Dosty who dupes them of GHC1.5k along the line.
This according to promoter Nana Yaw is an unfortunate development on the part of Andy Dosty to demand money before he interviews Cape Coast-based artistes who desire mileage via Hitz FM.
Well, reacting to this, Andy Dosty has rubbished the reports stating emphatically that he has never charged any artiste any amount to interview them.
