Becca and manager, Kiki Banson of EKB Records

Another marriage is about to collapse and accusing fingers seem to be pointing at Ghana’s award-winning sensational Afro-pop musician, Rebecca Acheampong, who goes by the stage name, Becca.

So nasty is the scandal that Becca and her manager, Kiki Banson, have reportedly fallen out but only put up a stage-managed artificial rapport for the cameras.

Two names that have popped up as the potential new managers for the Afro-pop singer are Kofi Otchere Darko (KOD) and Shirley Frimpong of Sparrow Production.

What caused the problem?

A very reliable source close to Becca has shown NEWS-ONE some considerable evidence that Kiki Banson and Becca have kept a secret relationship for the past three years. Kiki’s foreign-based wife (name and details withheld for now) was said to have gotten wind of the relationship and complained bitterly, though her husband swore heaven and earth that the reports were untrue.

Sometime last month, Kiki and wife finally divorced so he could have time for Becca and stop breaking the wife’s heart. Interestingly, both manager and artiste continue to deny this relationship.
Duty-Free Love

Not long after Kiki finalized the divorce processes with his wife; apparently because of Becca, a married woman by name Yawa has popped up, accusing Becca of dating her husband, Carl Quao, and becoming a threat to the survival of their young marriage.

Carl and Becca are said to be mates at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) where the gentleman is studying Project Management. Unconfirmed reports say Carl works at one of the duty free shops at the Kotoka International Airport and he spends a huge fortune to maintain his celebrity love.

East Legon Residence

Painstaking investigations conducted by NEWS-ONE have revealed that Becca has recently moved into a luxuriously furnished three-bedroom house at East Legon in Accra; an apparent love nest for her and Carl.
The few times NEWS-ONE visited the place, the singer was apparently home with her lover; therefore our cameras could not move in to take inner shots.

However what has not been confirmed is whether Carl funded the furnishing of the residence, or the musician used her hard-earned cash. Whatever it is, the high quality rich brown painting used for the walls and gates tells a story on its own.

On one occasion, our source helped us trail a black-colored BMW X-5 believed to belong to Carl. The vehicle moved from the East Legon residence to GIMPA and then to the Kotoka International Airport.
More soon…

Eazzy

Ahead of the upcoming BBA 2012 (STARGAME), Peacefmonline.com can exclusively reveal that rapper and singer, Eazzy, formerly of Lynx Entertainment and TV Presenter PY Addo co-host of magazine program “The One Show” on Viasat 1 are the known faces going to represent Ghana at the seventh edition of Africa’s biggest reality Television show.

Reliable sources have told Peacefmonline.com that even though the names of the two did not come up in the media, they went through audition like all the others.

Due to this year’s twist of pairing contestants and a celebrity housemate (making it three housemates from every country),Peacefmonline.com investigation reveals that Eazzy will be paired with her boyfriend whiles Television Presenter PY Addo Boateng will be in the BBA as a celebrity housemate like Confidence Haugen did for Ghana last year in the “Amplified” house.
Surprising as this may seem, these are the faces and names representing Ghana as housemates on Sunday May 6, 2012 when the game begins on DSTV. Names like Rappers Wanlove Kuborlor, Kwaw Kwaw, Trigmatic, Radio Presenter KOD, singer Atumpan, Kokoveli, comedian Funny Face, actor Van Vicker among others came up during the audition period but it seems none of them made it into the house.

Even though selected housemates are required not to divulge any information whatsoever until the game begins, Eazzy’s posture and her sudden alteration of almost everything around her has given the game away. It is clearly evident that Eazzy is trying to put everything in place before she finally flies to South Africa for the reality show.

It also explains why within the past week, Eazzy severed all ties with her record label, Lynx Entertainment, from producing, managing her debut album and building her up as a brand. According to reports, the singer is now signed on to KOD’s Black Capricorn Music Label, meaning KOD is currently Eazzy’s manager and agent for her upcoming second album and will be speaking on her behalf whiles she in the BBA house.

The “Bo wonsem mame” singer is also expected to premiere the video of her first single “Gogo Wind” today Friday, April 27, 2012 at Rockstone’s Office. Eazzy has been spotted with her boyfriend Keita at several public places, driving together in town or at events she is billed to perform. The last public event the two were spotted together was at the “Rhythms on the Round way” fashion show at the Golden Tulip Hotel.

Eazzy, Keita and PY Addo Boateng are expected to fly to South Africa on Saturday April 28, 2012 to begin formalities for the highly anticipated Big Brother Africa “Stargame”.
With auditions over, season 7 of M-Net’s reality super-series Big Brother Africa has already generated excitement with fans looking forward to the May 6 return to DStv of Africa’s biggest TV show.

With contestants doubling up to enter the series in pairs this year and with a USD 300 000 prize for just one winner, the stage is set for 91 days in which human emotion, attitude and action is put to the test!

Plus, right on schedule, M-Net has also given fans a first look at the new BIG BROTHER STARGAME logo, showcasing a bold new identity for 2012 with a retro inspired yet futuristic style.

A large curved font highlights the new name in a deep red garnet color, while the iconic Big Brother eye gets a liquid platinum finish with a glittering gold mirror-ball at its centre. Adding to the logo is a glossy accented space pushing forward between the eye and the new name, perhaps hinting at a series focused on movement, progress and speed. Only time will tell….

Eazzy is a 26 year old Ghanaian Singer and Rapper known for her smash hit songs “Wengeze” and “Bo wonsem ma me”.

Keita Osei is a young Fashion Designer and Model. He is the son to ace Ghanaian Fashion Designer and hip life pioneer, the late Ricci Osei and brother to the god father of hip life Reggie Rockstone.

PY Addo Boateng, a familiar face in broadcasting, events and music. He is the regular co-host of “The One Show” with Joselyn Dumas on Viasat 1 TV.

The “4Play” actress who is usually seen as a very reserved person has stepped out to show the world that she can also be equally sexy and hot as any other female celebrity.

D’Banj

He talks about how they got the deal with Kanye West:

‘I pulled up with my entourage at the Emirates first class lounge in Dubai. We were returning from Scott Tommey’s birthday. I came down with Bankuli, my P.A. Chuchu, and my business manager Chidi. My entourage was large and I was looking fly. One of the hostesses ran to me with a Kanye West placard. I said I’m not Kanye o – then I told my guys ‘Kanye is around so no dulling.’ Chuchu and Bankuli spotted Kanye walking in to check in. They went to him and he said we could come over’.
‘As they came, I had my iPad with me, and my headphones. First thing Kanye said was ‘I like your T-shirt’. I wore a Zara T-shirt and a D&G ring. He liked my appearance and said he’d give me 5 minutes. I told him ‘I played with you in Nigeria during NB PLC Star Megajam. I’ve done a song with Snoop and we’re going to shoot the video now. I’d like to play you my songs.’ I played Oliver, Scapegoat and Fall in love. He was dancing. He removed the headphones and said ‘I don’t mean to sound rude, but if anyone has to bring you out in the states, it has to be me, not Snoop. He asked when I was going to be in the US, and I told him I was going there that day. Then he asked who my producer was, and I said Don Jazzy. He said ‘come with him.’

So, on getting to New York three months later, contacting Kanye West was extremely difficult after sending several mails to several different e-mail addresses.

Then we met someone that knew someone that knew another someone and we got another email address. We sent several messages again, no response. Then Bankuli sent a final one saying, ‘we have been in New York for some time and sent several emails. We have waited long enough and are now on our way to do the Snoop Dogg Video’

And then the reply came. ‘Sorry to have overlooked your earlier emails. Mr. Kanye would like to meet with you tomorrow.’
‘We didn’t believe it. Don Jazzy, who had been reluctant all along, still did not believe it. Even when we got there (Wyclef’s studio) the next day, he stood outside. When Kanye came I went to call him ‘Oya come now, come play am the music now’. It was difficult to believe it was real and it was happening. Then when Kanye came in, with the GOOD music acts, I was like, ‘wow’.

From there, everything was moving at lightning speed and all the contracts were signed and the more business and administrative side of things was being handled. As this was going on, D’Banj had bigger things in mind and opted for a joint venture agreement structured to guarantee that: he retain full control of his materials in Africa; Don Jazzy be signed on board (on behalf on Mohits USA), and finally, that he brings the Universal/Def Jam imprint to Africa. He goes on to say:

‘I’ve always thought of how I can be a useful vessel to the industry. A friend and colleague always says to me: ‘D’banj, you’re the Jesus Christ of the industry.’ So having ran Mohits for nine years, I already had plans of how we could blow Mohits up. I had plans of expanding, and most especially, bringing hope to that 11 year-old kid somewhere in Africa who may never have had the opportunity to get signed to major labels’.

‘So it was not really just about me. There’s a big market in Africa. I said to them, ‘I’ve sold millions of records in Africa, we’ve done millions of hits with CRBT, and I’ve run the most successful label on the continent. You take care of the US, but let me take you to Africa.‘ And I’m happy to tell you that we’re doing that D’banj’s album will be the first under Universal/Def Jam Africa, and we’re already putting all the structures in place’
And apparently, that’s were the tumult with Don Jazzy arose. He goes on to talk about how the information contained in the leaked e-mails holds facts and truth and further talks about at what expense he went through to try to smooth all discrepancies between him and his ‘brother’.

He continues to talk about how the relationship between Don Jazzy and he started and now that the two have gone their separate ways, using marriage as a metaphor, how he feels:

‘Asking me if I’m lonely because Wande or Jazzy has left me is like asking my first sister if she’s lonely now – she has two kids now, lives in Canada. Don Jazzy is still my brother – we just had to move on. We’ll still work together in future, same with my boys. In fact, just this week, he sent me the remix to Oliver Twist that we’re releasing in the UK on May 14. All the interviews I’ve had here, I kept hyping him. It’s already in my system – you know me, I’m a one-way soldier. Jazzy is a very quiet person. Loyalty is key. My loyalty still lies in the friendship I had with him. He was cheated by JJC, and I was present. I swore never to cheat him. But I’d like to think our visions became different.

‘It was clear when we met that Jazzy wanted to be the biggest producer, I wanted to be the biggest African entertainer, not the biggest singer. I had my mind on money. In order to say I’m the biggest, I had to be the richest. So for a very long time, he was on the back end. He respected my act, I respected his music judgment. Every meeting that brought us money I went for. I’d say I need to confirm from Don Jazzy because that was the agreement, even though I knew it was my decision. First Glo deal was $500,000. That Landcruiser jeep was because of my demands. It was because of the skill and exposure that I used to bargain. I’m a businessman’
‘People say I’m less talented, I was known as a jester in the JJC squad. I’d make everyone happy and play the mouth organ, but I knew what I wanted. I decided to give Don Jazzy power in 2007 when we realized that after four years, they did not recognize us as a record label. We had signed artistes and done all this work. So we restructured, and restrategized. So I told him to chill, so he can be more respected and be the don. I’m older than him by one year, yet I respected him like a don. I remember when he came out at Ali Baba show, I knelt down for him, so people would say he’s the baba. All the talking in my ears and all, it was an arrangement. All the Soundcity advert and all, he did not tell me anything. It was all an arrangement.’

So Ayeni goes on to ask:

The perception is that you’ve become arrogant, unreachable, proud. You’re not the D’banj we used to know; not the D’banj I used to know – and most people in the media will say this is true

‘Obviously people will say stuff – but this is me. I can’t keep up with everyone, no matter how much I try. But I understand where I’m coming from. I cant forget my roots – all the interviews I had yesterday, I was ‘bigging up’ DJ Abass, he gave me my first show in London. You saw me giving Jazzy props in my interview earlier. That’s me. If I was arrogant I wouldn’t have been the one even chasing Jazzy around since he told me last July that he wanted to scatter Mo’Hits. Last time I saw him was on February 19 at Irving Plaza. He didn’t support the show, and he only came on stage when Sid and Wande were performing. I wanted peace.

And even my mom, who had supported us from beginning, who gave us the house we stayed in (in Michael Otedola estate, Lagos), the Previa bus we used and paid for Tongolo video, spoke to his parents last December; ‘this is what your son said o’. I remember my mom saying to me, ‘if you guys have been together all these years, and no wahala, then if you need to part, I hope there’ll be no wahala.’ She was very particular about that. I had enough proof to have come out and speak; this thing has been on for a long time, and we’re in April now. But I don’t want to cause any wahala. I don’t want to spoil anything. I don’t want trouble. Right now, I just want to be able to move on and do my business.’

‘The signing (away of my shares in Mo’Hits) was already being discussed before April 16. If I kept quiet from January till now, what would it benefit me to leak anything? Remember all the stuff about my password and all? We know where that was from, I really wouldn’t want to think it was from him, my brother, but it could be from anywhere, but I don’t want to call anyone’s name’

But were the emails forged?

‘Everything in those emails were facts. And I don’t even think the mails favoured me in any way. It’s not the exact mails that were sent and signed, but there were elements of truth in the mails that were published.’

Why did you tell Ebony you own Mohits?

‘My mom advised me not to speak. And the interviewer took it out of context. I co-owned Mohits. We registered the business in 2004, and we owned it 50:50. So I spoke about that, but the interviewer took it wrong and the fans put pressure on them and they corrected it.
This is just a tip of the iceberg of everything D’Banj had to say. He further went on to talk about issues regarding his former label mates, Dr. Sid, Wande Coal and D’Prince; how much he spent in order to placate and smooth out communicative and goal-oriented discrepancies; his Sahara Reporters interview; his deal with Mercury Records and so much more.

So, it seems the falling out bore fruit when D’Banj wanted to juggle dreams, goals and affiliations that Don Jazzy was reluctant to and was plain just not yet ready for. A Lot of unanswered questions still hang in the balance and a lot of people have already picked sides but, as Ayeni unwittingly said:

” Should one man sacrifice the wishes of the collective on the altar of ambition and material wealth? But then, what should be expected of the man whose dreams and ambition grow beyond those of other – possibly myopic- members of the collective: should an individual sacrifice his personal desires; derail his destiny, so to speak, in the interest of the collective?

In all of this, faithfulness and loyalty have been brutally murdered. And the jury is still out on who pulled the trigger.”

Appietus presenting an award to Kwaw Kese

He mentioned Kwaw Kese as the winner of “Highlife Artiste of the Year” category, which got the whole auditorium sparked up. He then blamed the event organisers, Charter House for the error.

Even though the show is over, some people still find Appietus excuse as a weak one. In the sense that, as a professional and creative person he could have handled it better on stage.

Appietus spoke to Peace FM’s Entertainment Review host, Akwasi Aboagye and said that he couldn’t hear the monitors around him, and he knew Charter House who has been in charge of the Ghana Music Awards for thirteen years now were doing the right thing. He was ready to announce the winner right after the nominees video was done playing.

“People also forgot I came back to say sorry on the stage. If it was insulting, Charter House wouldn’t have called me back to give the award again” he said.

He went on to say that,Charter House were not sabotaging him because he had problems with them in the past, but he came back as a matured man on stage again to present the award to Kwaw Kese for Hiplife/Hiphop Artiste of the Year category.
