As previously hinted, iconic urban radio host, Bola Ray could be ‘quitting radio’ to focus more on the business side of things. The host of Starr Drive may quit hosting the show to make way for a new host, and sources say that could be Anita Erskine. Earlier, KOD was hinted to be the man for the job but sources say due to his ‘involvement’ in an ongoing court case, the owners of the radio station have reconsidered that decision. Anita Erskine is now believed to be the next possible host, and she will run a series of tests as a co-host on Starr FM before it is made official! Stay tuned!!!
Recent reports in the media indicates a miscommunication between Sarkodie and his manager Sammy Forson in connection to a story published by Flex Newspaper on a prophesy made by a certain Prophetess concerning Sarkodie's health.“It was all after the Rapperholic concert, then Sarkodie knowing the role I played to ensure that the concert was a success approached me, and was like he has been a great fan of me all these years, showered praises on me, and added that it won’t be bad for us working officially together, and the rest they say, is history”“I play an all-round role when it comes to the management of Sarkodie, that’s from performance to securing contract to making sure monies have been paid, through to doubling up as the road manager, to dealing with bookings, playing PR roles, simply I do almost everything when it comes to the management of Sarkodie but officially I’m his Business Manager".
“It has not been all rosy working with Sarkodie at all; the higher he goes, the more pressure pile on me to deliver, so basically I was faced with a situation where I have to continue to learn, be knowledgeable, and upgrade on my roles”.
“We do have differences; there were times I would disagree with his way of thinking and more, but whatever the case is, we make sure we settle all our differences privately as possible so that they doesn’t get out to the public. ”
Over the years, some gospel artistes have had verbal altercations with each other regarding who deserves to win which award at the annual Ghana Music Awards. The debate on whether or not gospel artistes should air their misgivings about the scheme has received dissenting opinions from entertainment pundits, gospel artistes and the general public.“If you are a gospel artiste and you fight over awards, you are childish. Why will you fight your fellow gospel artiste over awards? God gave us the talent to complete each other and not to compete. If you do that, it shows you are wrongly motivated. It’s either you are just interested in the money and fame or you are using it as a stepping stone to achieving other opportunities and later stop singing”, he noted.OJ however advised gospel artistes to focus on their ministry rather than concentrating on winning awards. According to him, awards are just recognition of their efforts.
“It is good to be recognized but that shouldn’t be your priority. If you focus on ministering, God can cause someone to give you a mouthwatering gift which will be of higher value than the award and can change your life overnight”.He indicated that when he lost the Songwriter of the Year to Bisa Kdei in 2014, he never complained. The people in the auditorium and a section of the general public spoke for him.
