Management of Wontumi Multimedia issues unqualified apology to Manhyia Palace

Ahead of honouring a summons issued by the Kumasi Traditional Council over a controversial broadcast, the management of Wontumi Multimedia has issued a sincere apology to Manhyia following the inappropriate remarks made by Lawyer Maurlce Ampaw about the royal fraternity during his live TV talkshow, “Mmra Ne Abrabo Mu Nsem” show aired on Wontumi TV over the weekend.

Describing his utterance as unruly in a statement signed by the General Manager of the media outfit, the management said Maurice Ampaw’s conduct was unacceptable.

“The Management of Wontumi Multimedia wishes to render its unqualified and unreserved apology to the Kumasi Traditional Council (KTC) and Nananom for the unruly behaviour exhibited by one of our hosts at Wontumi Television by name Lawyer Maurice Ampaw.

“Management understands the importance of upholding respect and dignity, especially when it comes to matters involving customs and traditions, as well as esteemed figures like yourselves.

“We recognize that the conduct displayed by Lawyer Maurice Ampaw through our medium Wontumi Television, was completely unacceptable and does not reflect the values and standards of our organization,” the statement said.

While noting steps being taken to remedy the situation, the management said it had directed the indefinite suspension of the programme pending the final resolution of the matter.

“We must bring to the notice of our respected Nananom that management had no foreknowledge of the content of the programme on the said night, neither does it control over the minute details of the programme. Lawyer Maurice Ampaw unilaterally produced his show and determined issues to be discussed.

“Notwithstanding that, management does not intend to absorb itself of any blame and therefore accept full responsibility for any mishap,” the statement added.

The Kumasi Traditional Council summoned Wontumi Multimedia and Lawyer Maurice Ampaw to appear before them on Monday to address the charges against them. This decision was made after the council became aware of the alleged disrespectful comments made by Wontumi towards Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

On Monday, January 22, the NPP delegation, including General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, appeared before the council at the Manhyia Palace. Unfortunately, Wontumi was unable to attend the meeting due to illness. In addition to Wontumi, the council also ordered lawyer Maurice Ampaw and the management of Wontumi TV/Radio to appear before them regarding their alleged involvement.

Lawyer Adom Appiah pleaded with Manhyia to consider the Company’s position, particularly its CEO, Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, who has always shown the utmost respect to the Ashanti Kingdom’s overlord and the Nananom in general.

The Manhyia council said, “Wontumi should come along with Maurice Ampaw and the Management of his media house so they answer why they decided to use their air time to disrespect Nananom.”

Many Ghanaian artistes are corrupt – Reggie Rockstone

Hiplife ‘grandpapa’ Reggie Rockstone has spoken out about the corruption that plagues the Ghanaian music industry, accusing some artistes of buying online streams to appear more popular than they are.

In an interview with Property FM in Cape Coast, Reggie Rockstone said he was worried that many Ghanaian musicians are not getting genuine streaming numbers but are using streaming farms (the practice of artificially increasing streaming numbers by various means).

The Me Na Me Kae hitmaker did not hold back as he drew attention to the corruption in the music scene, saying that it deserves a serious discussion.

“The massive number of streams some musicians claim are sometimes fake because they use streaming farms. The corruption that has crept into music these days is a whole topic for another day that we need to talk about,” he stated.

Rockstone also suggested that the makers of popular digital streaming platforms, such as Spotify, are making a lot of money at the expense of the musicians themselves.

He also said that the income generated from these platforms mainly benefits those who created them, especially people from other parts of the world.

“The white people are really having a good time with our money from the digital streaming platforms they’ve made, like Spotify and the rest.

They’re really taking our money, and they always find a new way to cheat, so we have a lot of things that we need to look at,” he said.

I was in jail for two days, they wanted to cut my hair – Omah Lay recounts prison experience in Uganda

Nigerian afrobeats singer, Stanley Omah Didia widely known as Omah Lay, has opened up on his ordeal in Ugandan prison.

Recall that Omah Lay and Tems were arrested and charged to court and subsequently detained in prison in Uganda for making an appearance at a concert held in the country at Speke Resort, Kampala, despite COVID-19 social distancing regulations.

Speaking in a recent interview with The Beat FM, London, United Kingdom, Omah Lay said looking back at the incident, it was an “amazing time” for him though “it looked rough” then.

According to him, his ordeal in Uganda had to happen for him to move to the next level musically.

He said,

“My ordeal in Ugandan prison was an amazing time for me. Although it was rough at the moment now looking back at the whole thing, it had to happen. It gave me the relationship I have with Tems and her manager, Muyiwa [Awoniyi] today. He [Muyiwa] was in the same cell with me.

“We were in Uganda for a show during the pandemic. We had paperwork to perform but for some reason, we got arrested after performing. And we are sent to jail. We were in jail for two days.

“It was just a very horrible experience. I wouldn’t want anybody to go through that. They were going to cut my hair, I wore a prison uniform. They were so close to cutting my hair but the person who was in charge of the prison was a fan of my music. He got us a nice spot in jail and took care of us.”
