Philanthropist and female songstress, Shatana has replied famed actress, Martha Ankomah over her utterance on Kumawood movies.

Martha in an interview has asserted that most of Kumawood movies did not have substance and were baseless in terms of storyline. Shatana has rebutted her claims saying, that these ‘senseless’ movies are better off than movies with excessive sensual and erotic movies that Martha heavily featured in.

She expressed that there are most veteran actors and actresses who are finding it difficult to erase some movies they did when they were young because their reputation now is at stake but can’t.

She further issued a word of advice to young and upcoming actors to be on their guard as to the type of roles they take up because some are life altering in the near future.

The feud between Ghanaian dancehall best, Shatta Wale and revered DJ and journalist, Andy Dosty got a bit personal when Shatta took to a stage and insulted the latter’s mother. Before then, they were very cool friends, colleagues that got most jealous about their religious friendship.

Yesterday on Asempa 94.7 FM’s “Showbiz Review” entertainment show, Andy Dosty opened up for the first time on the issue. Speaking to the host, Obidombie Adu Kumi, Andy confessed that the issue is deeper than what the public see and have heard. He furthered that he and Wale still talk sometimes.

He explained that the relationship with Shatta Wale only turned sour when Wale came insulting his mother. Andy also said that he is not utterly angry about the whole issue and that if he was, he would confront Shatta Wale face to face.

Andy Dosty then told a story where he and Bisa Kdei were in a car and Shatta Wale came to greet Bisa and insulted him.
