Ghanaian songstress and activist, Ranaya Pappoe, popularly known in the showbiz circles as Shatana has fired figurative missiles at some celebrities who have undergone various body enhancement procedures of which liposuction is keen.

In an interview on TV Africa, Shatana protested that the decision of the celebrities who have undergone liposuction is untenable and must be condemned by right thinking members of the society.

Shatana who has received wide commendations for positive and natural body advocates singled out Nana McBrown and Gifty Adorye for criticism.

She held that the conduct of these entertainment personalities is an affront to the ethics and norms of the Ghanaian culture and must be condemned.

She raised concerns about the risky nature of the liposuction process and insisted that McBrown and her ilks are not serving as good examples for the youth.

She urged the Ghanaian youth not to follow their path and rather use natural means to improve their body shape.

“Moesha started the liposuction business and the likes of Gifty Adorye and Nana McBrown joined. It’s like a long roll call and they don’t want us to talk about it because they are celebs. Why don’t they want us to talk about it.”

“I respect the elderly but the liposuction is bad and their actions are instigating the young ones to follow that path. People died in Nigeria. In Ghana, we know the story of the woman who died at Obengfo so what are they teaching the youth”, she retorted.

“What moral lessons are they teaching the youth. Per the definition of celebrities, none of them fits that description, by living that fake kind of life. Smoking and drinking and influencing the youth badly. It is evil,” she said.

Shatana has been commended widely for her conscious type of music which centres on peace, unity and women empowerment.

Shatana was recently confered by popular presenter, Stephen Gidimajor affectionately called Air Commander, as the Queen of Conscious music in Ghana.

Air Commander speaking on his drive-time show aired on Ghana Broadcasting Corporation’s Twin City Radio in Takoradi, mentioned Shatana’s style of music as unique and carried wisdom blended with authentic melodies, therefore she deserved to be crowned the queen of conscious music in Ghana.

Shatana’s music transcends from being merely entertaining to becoming a vehicle for many Ghanaian societies to confront the harsh realities of life and overcome different challenges faced in the country.

Throughout Shatana’s career, her positive and uplifting attitude toward life is reflected in her music and message.

In addition to Shatana’s involvement in music, she has also used her platform as a powerful voice to empower women and create the much needed change.

As a result of her work, Shatana is gradually becoming a household name in Ghana and an icon of conscious music. Her music is a beacon of light, illuminating mindsets and inspiring the youth to take action and overcome the challenges they are facing.

“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.
