Samini on Facebook some hours ago registered his displeasure for a supposed lyrical banter between Ghanaian dancehall giants, Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale hosted by Asaase radio. He said that since Shatta Wale has been beefing him (Samini) longer than Stonebwoy, it was rather right if the battle was with him and Shatta Wale.

He further explained that since his beef with Wale, the latter has dragged his name in mud upon mud, and although he (Shatta Wale) confessed in an interview with Nana Aba Anamoah that all that he said about Samini were nothing but lies, and he did that only for fame, this banter will be the opportunity for him (Samini) to receive an official apology from Shatta Wale.

Also, he further on spat that Stonebwoy was just a casualty of war and not really the soldier of it. He described the battle as a mismatch and an instance of “putting squares in round holes”.

Entertainment critic and blogger Nana Osei Lionel who sits as a panel with Price Fm’s Entertainment Agenda regards Samini’s rants as uncalled for and unnecessary.

He countered Samini’s assertion by a post on his Facebook timeline that said, “Samini, you are a legend and Godfather dancehall-wise and in Ghanaian music. You have made your mark worthwhile and we respect you for that. It is rather unfortunate to hear your progression on Asaase’s Freestyle battle between Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale. Are you that desperate for attention nowadays? What you are suggesting does not even hold any water because you had your chance to reply to Wale’s numerous disses but you chose to keep mute at the time, now there is no beef, what do you need a lyrical battle for? Being realistic, you are not trending as you used to so Asaase Radio did what would benefit them.

As for your assertion that Wale has soiled your reputation with purported lies, you should know that whatever goes around comes around. You remember you did same to Yoggie Doggie and the late Ronnie Coaches that angered the latter to the extend that he nearly beat you up on a live TV?

Please let the respect we have for you be valid unsoiled with any brouhahas.

Thank you.”

“Pioneering the Afro-gospel music genre in Ghana, Joseph Matthew is breaking down barriers and challenging stereotypes in the Gospel music industry.

In a recent interview with Metro TV, the talented artiste boldly shared his thoughts on the rigid expectations placed on Gospel musicians in terms of dressing and music style. He argued that it’s limiting and demeaning to condemn artistes who don’t fit the traditional mold, simply because of their appearance or sound.

Using his own experience as an example, Joseph Matthew revealed that some gatekeepers in the industry have rejected him due to his dreadlocks and unconventional sound, which deviates from the typical ghanaian Gospel music norm. He emphasized that what truly matters is the message of hope and redemption, not the messenger’s appearance or style.

Joseph Matthew hinted on a virtual concert and a new album on the horizon.

Watch what he said at the interview from below.

Also, be sure to check out his latest single, “Promise Land,” a soul-stirring anthem that embodies the essence of Afro-gospel music.

As a rising star in the Afrobeats scene, Big Rain is spreading love and positivity through his music, leaving a lasting impact on fans and critics alike.

Christined Paul Raymond Osemudiame, Big Rain was born on June 12th, 1995, in the vibrant city of Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. His early life was filled with the sweet sounds of jazz, reggae, and gospel music, courtesy of his music-loving parents, who encouraged his passion for music. He spent hours listening to the likes of Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, and Michael Jackson, studying their craft and learning from their legacies.

Big Rain’s musical journey began in the church choir, where he honed his vocal skills and developed a deep appreciation for the power of music to uplift and inspire. As he grew older, he began writing his own songs, pouring his heart and soul into every lyric and melody.

After exploring the world of business, Big Rain returned to his first love, music, in 2023, and the result was nothing short of magic. His debut project, “Lifestyle,” released on November 12th, 2023, was a resounding success, garnering impressive numbers and earning him a loyal fan base. The song’s catchy beat and inspiring lyrics resonated with listeners from all walks of life, cementing Big Rain’s place as a rising star in the Afrobeats scene.

Since then, he has released five more songs, each one a testament to his creative genius and dedication to his craft. His music is a fusion of Afrobeats, R&B, and pop, with lyrics that speak to the human experience, love, and self-empowerment. With his unique sound and style, Big Rain is poised to take the music industry by storm.

Inspired by the legendary likes of Fela Kuti, Michael Jackson, and Bob Marley, Big Rain believes that music should be a powerful tool for spreading love and goodwill. With this in mind, he has pioneered a sub-genre under Afrobeats, dubbed “Afrolove,” aimed at sharing love and positivity through his music. His mission is to use his platform to inspire and uplift others, promoting unity and togetherness through the universal language of music.

As we eagerly await his next release, “Sere,” dropping on 1st May, 2024, we can’t help but feel excited for what the future holds for this talented artiste.
