Beware of Fake News: Ibrahim Mahama Not Involved in Cryptocurrency Schemes

 

In recent days, social media has been flooded with a manipulated video falsely linking Ghanaian businessman Mr. Ibrahim Mahama to a cryptocurrency scheme promising unrealistic profits. The video claims that an initiative called "CryptoExplodeAI by Ibrahim Mahama" is generating up to GHS 62,000 in profit for investors who put in just GHS 3,800.Let’s be clear—this is completely false.

 A public disclaimer has been issued to warn Ghanaian's and internet users not to fall for this deceptive AI-generated content. According to Mr. Ibrahim Mahama’s team, he has no connection whatsoever to any cryptocurrency business, investment scheme, or partnership with H.E. John Mahama in such matters.

The image that has been circulating, which includes a doctored video featuring a news presenter and flashy headlines, is entirely fabricated. The content was created and spread by faceless individuals with the intent to mislead and possibly scam unsuspecting victims.

Mr. Mahama’s Special Aide, Rafik Mahama, has confirmed that steps have already been taken to report the video to state authorities. Investigations are underway to track down those behind this fraudulent content. The aim is to have it taken down from all platforms and hold the perpetrators accountable.

Marsai Martin: Breaking Records and Redefining Hollywood at 20

 

In an industry where age and experience often define one’s path, Marsai Martin has defied the odds and rewritten the rules — all before turning 21. As of April 2025, the multi-talented actress and producer holds the Guinness World Record for being the youngest Hollywood executive producer in history. Her groundbreaking accomplishment came at just 14 years old when she produced and starred in the 2019 comedy film Little.

Born with a vision far beyond her years, Marsai not only took on a lead role in the film, but also wielded creative control behind the scenes — a feat even seasoned professionals find daunting. Little was more than just a film; it was a statement — proving that young Black girls can be powerful storytellers, decision-makers, and innovators in the entertainment world.

Now at 20 years old, Marsai continues to thrive in both acting and producing. Her journey is an inspiration to a generation of dreamers, especially young people of color who often don’t see themselves represented in leadership roles in media. With elegance, talent, and relentless ambition, Marsai is paving the way for a more inclusive and youthful Hollywood.

Her Guinness World Record stands not only as a testament to her remarkable achievement but also as a symbol of what is possible when passion meets opportunity. In a world quick to place limits on the young, Marsai Martin reminds us that age is no barrier to greatness.

Keep an eye on this trailblazer — because this is just the beginning. 

Lil Wayne’s “Free Lil Durk” Mix-Up: A Hilarious Hip-Hop Moment

 

In a moment that has both puzzled and amused fans across the internet, a recent revelation about hip-hop legend Lil Wayne has gone viral. According to Hot Freestyle, Lil Wayne reportedly didn’t realize Lil Durk was in jail—even though he had two “Free Lil Durk” t-shirts hanging in his dressing room. Yeah, you read that right.

Wait, What Happened?

Apparently, Wayne had the shirts on hand—perhaps as a show of support—but didn’t actually know what they were for. Whether it was a miscommunication with his team, a merchandise mix-up, or just Wayne being in his own world, the fact that he missed such a detail about another high-profile rapper has social media in stitches.

The post by Hot Freestyle cheekily asked, “Lil Wayne don’t got internet or something?”—and fans took that and ran with it, sparking memes and jokes across platforms.

A Peek Into Wayne’s Bubble

Lil Wayne has long been known for living in his own artistic bubble. He’s even admitted in interviews that he doesn’t really keep up with current trends, music, or even other artists' albums. He focuses purely on his own craft, which might explain how something like this slipped past him.

Still, having two t-shirts calling for Lil Durk’s freedom without knowing Durk was actually locked up? That’s wild—and hilarious.

Fans React

Reactions have ranged from laughter to light roasting:

• “Bro just thought it was a fashion statement.”
• “He probably thought Durk was starting a brand called ‘Free Lil Durk.’”
• “This is so Wayne it hurts.”

Behind the Laughter, a Reminder

While this situation is definitely funny, it also highlights how disconnected some major stars can be from what’s going on in the broader hip-hop community. It's a reminder that even in a world that feels hyper-connected, not everyone is tuned into the same frequency.

Final Thoughts

Whether you find it funny, odd, or just pure Wayne, this mix-up is another quirky chapter in hip-hop’s endless scroll of unexpected moments. And let’s be real—only Lil Wayne could pull something like this off and still come out looking like a legend.

TRAVIS SCOTT RETURNS TO WWE: WRESTLEMANIA 41 SET TO GET LIT IN VEGAS.

 

In one of the most unexpected crossovers of the year, rapper Travis Scott is stepping back into the squared circle—and this time, it’s bigger than ever.

Triple H Confirms the Shocking Return

As confirmed by WWE legend and executive Triple H, Travis Scott will be making a comeback at WrestleMania 41, set to take place this weekend in Las Vegas. The announcement, posted by Rap and Bars on Instagram, has sent shockwaves through both the wrestling and hip-hop communities. It’s not every day that one of the biggest names in rap gears up for battle on the grandest stage of them all.

A Heated Past with Cody Rhodes?

But this isn’t just about music and entertainment—there’s real tension brewing. Another post from the same page quoted current WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, who didn't mince words:

"If Travis ever makes his way back into the WWE, maybe there's a receipt for [him]."

Cody was allegedly referencing a past incident where Travis gave him a black eye. That quote suggests there might be unfinished business waiting for resolution—possibly under the bright lights of WrestleMania.

A Cultural Collision

This marks a wild but exciting collision of hip-hop and sports entertainment. WrestleMania is no stranger to celebrity involvement, but bringing someone as high-profile and unpredictable as Travis Scott into the ring raises the stakes. Will this be a one-off stunt? Or is Travis ready to take his mic skills into the wrestling world full-time?

Fans Are Hyped—and Curious

Naturally, social media is buzzing. Fans are speculating about whether Travis will perform, fight, or maybe even team up with a WWE superstar. One thing’s for sure: Vegas is about to witness a spectacle.

Stay tuned—WrestleMania 41 might just go down as the most chaotic and culture-blending event in WWE history.

Sarkodie vs. Ecobank Ghana: A Legal Battle Over Image Rights and Unauthorized Advertisement

 

Ghana’s music icon Michael Owusu Addo, widely known as Sarkodie, has taken a bold legal step by filing a lawsuit against Ecobank Ghana Ltd. The lawsuit, which has taken social media by storm, alleges that the bank used a lookalike of the rapper in an advertisement without his consent, constituting a breach of his intellectual property rights.

The Case at Hand

According to the writ issued from the High Court of Justice – Commercial Division in Accra, Sarkodie is suing Ecobank Ghana for what he describes as unauthorized and exploitative use of his image. The core of the dispute revolves around a promotional material released by the bank that allegedly featured a lookalike of Sarkodie, misleading the public into associating the rapper with the bank’s products or services.

The official documents indicate that Sarkodie, represented as the Plaintiff, is requesting the court to hold Ecobank accountable for this misuse. His legal team argues that the defendant's actions violate the intellectual property rights of the artist and contravene provisions under Ghana’s Competition Act, 2000 (Act 589) regarding the Protection Against Unfair Competition.

What Sarkodie Is Demanding

In the Statement of Claim, Sarkodie outlines several key demands:

1. Legal Declaration – That Ecobank’s publication involving his lookalike is a violation of his intellectual property rights.
2. Breach of Law – That the act breaches the Protection Against Unfair Competition under Ghanaian law.
3. Injunction – A perpetual injunction preventing Ecobank from further using his image or anything closely resembling it.
4. Retraction – A demand for the bank to withdraw all such materials from public circulation.
5. Damages – Financial compensation for the unauthorized use of his image and the harm caused.
6. Costs – Payment of legal costs arising from the suit.

The Bigger Picture: Celebrity Image Rights in Ghana

This case could set a precedent in Ghana’s legal landscape when it comes to image rights and unauthorized endorsements. With the rise of influencer marketing and the power of celebrity branding, this lawsuit highlights the importance of obtaining proper consent and legal clearance when using public figures or their likeness in commercial promotions.

It’s not the first time celebrities have had to protect their image from misuse, but in Ghana’s context, it could prompt tighter regulations and a more informed creative industry. If Sarkodie wins the case, it may encourage other celebrities to speak out and take similar action when their rights are violated.

Final Thoughts

Sarkodie’s move sends a strong message—not just to Ecobank, but to all brands and marketers—that creativity and commercial strategy must go hand in hand with legality and respect for individual rights. As the case unfolds, the entertainment and business communities alike will be watching closely.

This isn’t just about one ad or one celebrity. It’s about setting boundaries in a fast-evolving digital and marketing age.

 

J. Cole’s “7 Minute Drill” Removed from Streaming Platforms – What Happened?

It’s been a year since J. Cole’s controversial track “7 Minute Drill” mysteriously disappeared from streaming platforms, and fans are still wondering why—and whether it’s ever coming back.

Originally released as part of Might Delete Later, “7 Minute Drill” quickly drew attention for its raw lyricism and introspective jabs, rumored to be aimed at fellow rap icon Kendrick Lamar. The track sparked waves of discussion across social media and hip-hop forums, dividing listeners who debated whether Cole was truly going at Kendrick, or just venting in the booth.

But shortly after the initial buzz, “7 Minute Drill” was quietly removed from platforms like Apple Music and Spotify. No official explanation was given. Fast forward to April 2024, and even with the reappearance of Might Delete Later, the track remains missing—or worse, region locked, as the second screenshot shows. Listeners trying to access the song are greeted with the frustrating message: “This item is not currently available in your country or region.”

So, what gives?

Some fans speculate that the removal was intentional, a result of Cole’s own reservations about keeping the track out in the world. Known for being thoughtful and self-critical, J. Cole has previously gone on record expressing regret over certain releases. It wouldn’t be out of character for him to pull a track that felt like it didn’t align with his values—or may have crossed a line with someone he respects.

Others think it might be a label or clearance issue, possibly tied to samples or internal decisions at Cole’s Dreamville camp.

But the bigger question is: do fans even want the song back?

Despite—or maybe because of—its removal, “7 Minute Drill” has achieved a kind of mythical status among Cole fans. A diss track that was too real to stay live? A bar-for-bar moment that didn’t sit right with the man who wrote it?

Whether or not the track sees the light of day again, one thing is clear: hip-hop heads haven’t forgotten it. And if the recent buzz is anything to go by, there’s a demand for it to return—unedited, unfiltered, and just as fiery as before.

Should “7 Minute Drill” be brought back? Or did J. Cole make the right call? Let us know your thoughts.

Young Thug Teases New Album ‘UY SCUTI’ with Mysterious Billboard

 

Young Thug might be ready to reclaim the spotlight.

A new billboard just popped up, boldly showcasing “UY SCUTI” with a cryptic date — “5/??/25.” The billboard doesn’t say much, but it says enough. Fans and blogs are speculating that Thug is teasing the rollout of his next studio album, possibly dropping sometime in May.

The title UY Scuti is a deep one. Named after the largest known star in the universe, it could symbolize Thug's ambition to shine brighter than ever — possibly an intentional statement after a long stretch of legal battles and silence. The astronomical reference suggests themes of expansion, scale, and legacy — all fitting for an artist like Thugger who's never played by the rules.

It’s been a minute since Thug dropped a solo body of work. His last major release, Business is Business in 2023, kept fans fed but left them hungry for more. If UY Scuti is the next chapter, we’re likely to hear an evolved version of the Atlanta star — one who’s been through fire, and still came out with diamonds.

One thing’s for sure: when Young Thug teases, the culture listens.

MTN CEO: E-Levy Cannot Be Scrapped Instantly Without Approval

The recent statement by the CEO of MTN regarding the controversial Electronic Levy (E-Levy) has sparked discussions among Ghanaians and policymakers. As mobile money transactions continue to be a major part of the country’s financial ecosystem, the issue of whether to maintain or abolish the E-Levy remains a hot topic.

Understanding the E-Levy

The E-Levy, introduced by the government as a tax on electronic transactions, was aimed at increasing revenue for national development projects. Since its implementation, it has received mixed reactions, with many citizens expressing concerns about its impact on financial inclusion and the cost of transactions. Businesses, fintech companies, and mobile network operators, including MTN, have played a key role in ensuring compliance with the tax policy.

The CEO’s Standpoint

In a recent interview, the CEO of MTN stated that the E-Levy cannot be scrapped instantly without proper governmental and parliamentary approval. His remarks highlight the bureaucratic processes involved in making such financial policy changes. The CEO emphasized that while mobile money operators play a significant role in tax collection, they do not have the authority to unilaterally abolish or modify government-imposed levies.

Implications of Removing the E-Levy.

The possible removal of the E-Levy has both positive and negative implications. On one hand, its removal could encourage more digital transactions and financial inclusivity by reducing transaction costs. On the other hand, it could affect government revenue, potentially impacting infrastructure projects and other national initiatives funded by the levy.

If the government decides to remove the E-Levy, it will need to explore alternative revenue sources to fill the financial gap. Experts have suggested widening the tax net rather than relying heavily on mobile money transactions.

What’s Next?

The discussion around the E-Levy is far from over. Policymakers, businesses, and consumers must engage in constructive dialogue to find a balanced solution that

Will he embrace his independence, or will new allies and enemies shape his path?

Potential Villains and Storylines

Speculation is running wild about who Peter will face next. With past Spider-Man villains like Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Electro making appearances in the last film, the next chapter could introduce new threats. Some fans speculate that Brand New Day might feature Kingpin, Scorpion, or even a new iteration of the Green Goblin. Could we also see the rise of the Black Suit Spider-Man or even the long-rumored Miles Morales?

What This Means for the MCU

With the Marvel Cinematic Universe expanding rapidly, Spider-Man: Brand New Day could play a crucial role in setting up future stories. Will Peter Parker interact with street-level heroes like Daredevil? Could this be the beginning of a new crossover event?

Presidency Orders NIB to Investigate President Akufo-Addo’s Official Travels

Date: 28th March 2025

In a surprising and rather unprecedented development, the Presidency has directed the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) to launch an official investigation into the travel records of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. The announcement, which was captured in a news post by Joy News and quickly went viral on social media, has sparked wide public interest and debate.

The directive comes amid growing public scrutiny over the President's international trips, the cost involved, and their relevance to national interests. While details of the exact trigger behind the investigation remain unclear, sources within government circles hint at concerns over transparency, accountability, and possible misappropriation of state funds related to these travels.

Public Reaction

Social media has been buzzing since the news broke. Popular Ghanaian media personality and influencer, GhHyper1, who shared the update on Instagram, summed up the general sentiment in one word: “Wahala!” — a Nigerian Pidgin term loosely translated as “Trouble” or “Problem.”

The reaction online has been mixed. While some Ghanaians have welcomed the move as a step toward accountability and good governance, others see it as a political smokescreen or even a sign of division within the government.

What Could This Mean?

If the NIB’s investigation reveals irregularities, it could mark a significant moment in Ghana’s democratic and governance history — the rare instance of a sitting President’s official conduct being scrutinized internally.

It also raises questions about the internal dynamics at the Presidency and what may have motivated this order. Is it pressure from civil society? Political maneuvering ahead of the 2028 elections? Or a genuine attempt to restore public trust?

A Growing Culture of Accountability?

Ghana has, in recent years, seen increased demand for transparency from its leaders. From the #FixTheCountry movement to parliamentary probes into various scandals, citizens have become more vocal and involved in governance issues.

This latest development, though shocking, may be a sign that public pressure is forcing institutions to act — even at the highest levels.

Final Thoughts

Whether this investigation will result in meaningful outcomes or quietly fizzle out remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: Ghanaians are watching, and the demand for accountability is louder than ever.

Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.

Ghanaian Artists Missing Out on International Collaboration?

 

The global music industry thrives on collaborations, bridging cultures and expanding artistic influence. However, recent revelations from Silent Addy, a Jamaican music producer, suggest that Ghanaian artists may be missing out on a golden opportunity.

Silent Addy, alongside Disconeil007, produced the track Shake It to the Max by Ghanaian-American singer Moliy. The song has garnered attention internationally, particularly in Jamaica, where artists have been eager to jump on the riddim. However, Silent Addy revealed in a social media post that no Ghanaian artist has reached out for a collaboration, despite the producers’ openness to working with them.

This revelation has sparked discussion within the Ghanaian music industry. Given the international success of Ghanaian genres like Afrobeats and Highlife, it raises the question: Why aren’t Ghanaian artists seizing this opportunity? Is it a lack of awareness, industry politics, or simply hesitation in reaching out?

Moliy, known for her distinct sound and collaborations with global artists, is creating waves, and this track could be another avenue for Ghanaian artists to gain exposure in new markets. The Jamaican music scene, with its strong global influence, could provide a valuable platform for Ghanaian talent.

Silent Addy’s message is clear: the door is open. It’s now up to Ghanaian artists to take the initiative and claim their space on the riddim. With the right artist, this collaboration could be another milestone in strengthening the Ghana-Jamaica music connection.

So, who from Ghana should jump on this track? Will it be a mainstream act like Stonebwoy, or will an emerging artist take the lead? The opportunity is there—let’s see who grabs it!

Drake has done it again—this time in a way that has left the internet in shock. The global rap superstar reportedly won a whopping $40 million while betting on Stake, the popular online gambling platform, all while chilling at a random Dave & Buster’s. Yes, you read that right! The "God’s Plan" rapper turned a casual gaming night into a multimillion-dollar victory, proving that his luck is just as strong as his lyrical prowess.

Drake and His Love for Gambling

If you’ve been keeping up with Drake, you already know he has a deep passion for betting. He’s been spotted placing massive bets on sports games, UFC fights, and, of course, online gambling platforms like Stake. With his ongoing partnership with Stake, Drake often shares his high-stakes wagers with fans, making his betting journey almost as thrilling as his music career.

But this time, the setting made it even more surreal—winning millions while casually gaming at a Dave & Buster’s, a place usually associated with arcade tickets and fun prizes, not life-changing gambling wins.

According to reports, Drake was on Stake, probably spinning virtual roulette or placing high-stakes sports bets, when he struck gold. The exact details of his winning bet haven’t been disclosed, but the sheer amount—$40 million—is enough to leave anyone speechless. Imagine walking into a Dave & Buster’s to enjoy some arcade games and wings, only to walk out with enough money to buy multiple mansions.

Kanye West vs. Kendrick Lamar: The Debate on Hip-Hop Royalty

Kanye West is no stranger to controversy, and his latest statement about Kendrick Lamar has once again ignited debates in the hip-hop world. In a viral post, Kanye reportedly stated, "Kendrick was never king... maybe king of the West Coast but never king of the world." This bold remark has sparked reactions from fans and critics alike, raising questions about the definition of greatness in hip-hop and the legacy of these two artists.

The Case for Kanye West

Kanye West is one of the most influential artists of the 21st century. With groundbreaking albums like The College Dropout, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and Yeezus, he has consistently pushed the boundaries of rap, production, and artistic expression. His ability to reinvent himself and remain relevant across decades is a testament to his impact. Kanye has also played a crucial role in shaping the careers of other artists, further solidifying his legacy in the industry.

From a global standpoint, Kanye's influence extends beyond music. His ventures into fashion, business, and cultural discourse have made him a household name worldwide. If Kanye’s definition of "king of the world" includes cultural dominance beyond rap, then he may have a point.

The Case for Kendrick Lamar

On the other hand, Kendrick Lamar has established himself as one of the greatest lyricists of all time. With albums like good kid, m.A.A.d city, To Pimp a Butterfly, and DAMN., Kendrick has not only won numerous accolades, including a Pulitzer Prize, but has also used his music to address deep societal issues. His storytelling ability, intricate wordplay, and conscious messaging have earned him a place among rap’s elites.

While Kanye focuses on influence across various industries, Kendrick's dominance within rap is undeniable. His ability to create conceptually rich albums that resonate with fans and critics alike makes him a strong candidate for hip-hop royalty. Though he primarily represents the West Coast, his music has had a worldwide impact, challenging Kanye’s assertion that he isn’t "king of the world."

Defining Hip-Hop Royalty

The debate ultimately comes down to how one defines hip-hop royalty. If it’s about global influence across multiple domains, Kanye West’s argument holds weight. However, if the crown belongs to the best rapper of this generation, Kendrick Lamar has a solid claim.

At the end of the day, hip-hop has room for multiple kings, each ruling in their own right. Whether you side with Kanye’s perspective or believe Kendrick deserves global recognition, one thing is certain: both artists have left an indelible mark on the culture.
