Zanzibar.

The artiste shares, "Old school hip-hop artistes like Professor Jay and others, they were so inspirational to me," recalling the impact of the era’s lyricism and storytelling, something he says is missing, “The new school hip-hop mixes a bit of pop, which is cool, and I enjoy it.” In a nostalgic moment, he sings a few lines from "Nikusaidiaje" and "Inaniuma Sana" by Juma Nature.
Ghanaian reggae artiste Ras Kuuku has opened up about the inspiration behind his upcoming EP, revealing that it was fueled by the remarkable comeback of former President John Dramani Mahama. In an interview on Daybreak Hitz with DJ Slim, Ras Kuuku expressed his admiration for Mahama’s resilience and determination, which influenced his new project. He recalled how many people, including prominent pastors, had written off Mahama’s chances of returning to power after his tenure ended in 2017. “My next EP coming was inspired by JDM. Whatever he went through and his journey inspired my EP,” he shared.

After a self-prescribed mainstream hiatus, theatre veteran Keamogetsi Molapong will return to the National Theatre of Namibia (NTN) with a production of Sifiso Nyathi’s ‘God of Women’. “It has been a long, long while since I’ve done a formal, mainstream play. I’m always asked: ‘So, when are we seeing something from you?’. So I’m just trying to answer that question as to when. It’s now,” says Molapong. For the last few years, the notable theatremaker has been focused on theatre as a tool to preserve and revive endangered languages in rural areas, primarily in collaboration with the Namibia University of Science and Technology. The playwright also worked on 26 indigenous language radio plays with NBC Radio. Having previously directed ‘God of Women’ for a tour in Eswatini and at the national theatre, Molapong returns to the source material with a view to illuminate the Namibian play for English second language pupils for whom it is a prescribed text.

"The idea for this tour reflects on how my music could reach people, especially those in rural areas. Living in Kigali, I noticed that most performances and digital platforms are centered in the capital, and people outside Kigali often miss out on these opportunities," Mirasano told The New Times.

With her dark skin, her curly hair and all the characteristic features of her history and ancestry. Fortunately, we have more and more references and representation,” said the actress. The presenter also encouraged women to embrace their natural beauty and pass this message on to future generations. “Let your hair down, women.

The singer parted ways with her husband and then manager, Dave Joy, in what became one of Ghana's most bitter celebrity divorces. As their relationship crumbled and spilt over into the media, reports claimed they had been unfaithful to each other, and DNA tests hogged the headlines.

Despite the setback, Joyce Blessing is optimistic about love and marriage but wants to take her time because she does not want to make similar mistakes. “I’ve learned a lot from my past experiences, and I’m in no rush. Marriage is beautiful, and I want to ensure my next step is guided by wisdom and God’s direction,” she told Andy Dosty on Hitz FM.
