Controversial actress, Rosemond Brown talks about the relationship between Fella Makafui and Medikal.

“Why is it that when Fella excelling and opening more businesses that Medikal decided to go and date her?” “He claims he has known her for five years so why didn’t he date her then? Was it because Fella was a nobody? But now that she has become popular and a good business owner, all of a sudden Medikal has left Deborah Vanessa for her?” 

“Fella Makafui is not the first and last person to snatch someone’s boyfriend. She is a young girl and Medikal was also not married so no problem, however, the way she goes about the relationship is the issue, like the [kissing] video she shared. I don’t want her to do anything she would later regret” 

Copyright expert, Agya Abraham talks about the brouhaha about the ‘Bobolebobo’ song. Moreover, he wants Minister Isaac Sei and Evangelist I.K Aning to settle their differences amicably. This is because they are of the same faith.

“This issue must be resolved so that they will stop disgracing themselves. One wrote the song, composed the song, did everything, at a point nobody knows him. He wasn’t even confident the song would gain such massive attention. The person put the song within a free space, just because he wanted to promote the song. The second person saw the song, listen to the song and also improved with either vocal ability or changed it a bit” 

He added it’s quite obvious “one of them is lying among the two of them” saying “you’re men of God, how do you expect people to sit under your vision and your tutelage”.
