Actor Lil Win has expressed his profound dissatisfaction with Ghanaians’ reactions to his recent vehicle accident.
In an interview with members of his church, the Believers Worship Centre on July 1, he denounced the reports about over speeding on his path which led to the accident.
Lil Win claims that the incident was presented in the media as though it was a planned action on his behalf to cause the accident.
“I was sitting down and asked myself if it’s my matter that is been discussed on TV as such…there are a lot of things about a car, it’s a machine. It doesn’t matter it’s a brand new one. Everything can happen.
I am not happy for the victims. The media has reported the matter as if I deliberately knocked down the young boy with the car and intentionally collided the vehicle with my car,” he stated.
He lamented that the public narrative made it seem as though he was blood thirsty, adding that “they made it seem like I had a telescope, saw a child in the car, and decided to kill him.”

This sounds incredible! Mbappe has alway been a fond of Cristiano Ronaldo since his infancy. In fact Cristiano is his idol and has his pics all over his walls at home. Now there comes the unbelievable tie between an idol and his admirer! The two are that good to finish each other off!
I guess friendship will be excused for the next 90 to 120 min if called for.
He gets the golden opportunity to play against his Idol in a national assignment, at least before the GOAT retires.

When they tell you they don’t love you, believe them, and don’t chase them.
When they tell you they might be in love with someone else, believe them and don’t take it personally or stay and hope that they’ll love you someday. If they stay with you, it may be out or pity, not love!
When they show you how they don’t care about you when they are angry, then understand that they’re incapable of being kind so don’t expect them to be kind to you always or every time you need them to be.
When they tell you they are confused about you, believe them and don’t make excuses for them.
When they tell you they are incapable of loving you, don’t sit and teach them how to love you.
When they tell you they can’t be in a relationship with you, respect that, and don’t beg. You are devaluing yourself, and also teaching them to do so.
When they show you who exactly they are, stop visualizing their potential. Potentials ain’t reality!
When they consistently show you how inconsistent they can be with commitment, believe them.
When they tell you they want to love you, but their actions fail to prove that, or make you feel safe, believe them and let them be.
The truth is that people will always tell you exactly how they feel about you. The signs will always be there; but sometimes, we ignore them, and get our hearts broken, and say love doesn’t exist! Love does exist. You’re only looking for it in the wrong people!

Renowned Ghanaian music producer Edward Nana Poku Osei, popularly known as Hammer, recently shared insights into the challenges faced by African rappers using vernacular languages.
In an interview on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z with Kwame Dadzie, Hammer pointed out that while music can transcend language barriers through its melodies, rap presents a unique challenge.
Unlike songs that can resonate globally regardless of language, rap heavily relies on lyrical content and rhythm, making it more difficult for vernacular rap to gain international traction.
Hammer illustrated this with examples, highlighting how songs like “Zibote” succeed on the strength of their melodies despite the language barrier.
He emphasized that melodic or “sing-song” styles tend to have a broader appeal beyond linguistic confines, noting the success of artists like Asake who sing in Yoruba.
Regarding Sarkodie, Hammer noted the rapper’s strategic shift towards incorporating more English in his music, particularly evident on the “No Pressure” album.
This adaptation, Hammer suggested, reflects a conscious effort to enhance Sarkodie’s accessibility and appeal to a wider global audience.
By adapting their linguistic approach, Hammer believes African rappers can navigate the complexities of international recognition while staying true to their cultural roots.
