The BET award-winning artiste filled the auditorium when other A-list Ghanaian artistes supported him for this year’s Rapperholic concert.
For about two hours, Sarkodie and his supporting artistes kept the crowd hostage at the venue with none of the audience moving an inch towards the exit of the gate. Sarkodie was on top of his game on the night.
The Rapperholic night really showed how big Sarkodie is as an artiste in this century. The show hosted by King Of Ghana’s comedy, DKB also gave a picture of some great collaborations Sarkodie has done for the past years.
It looks like Michael has worked with all the artistes in Ghana looking at the big names that jumped on the Accra International Conference Center stage to perform with him.
Some of the giant musicians that helped Sarkodie on stage were Wizkid, Fuse ODG, R2bees, Samini, Jupita, Shatta Wale, Ofori Amponsah, Efya, Pappy Kojo and Joey B, Tee Phlow, Tinny, Killbeatz, Shatta Wale, Ofori Amponsah and many others.
The names mentioned above are the artistes who joined Sark on stage whilst performing but before Obidi were artistes like VVIP, E.L, Strongman, Episode, Rudebwoy Ranking and many others.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been offered millions of dollars for the first pictures of their new born son, Saint. According to TMZ, the offers came from various magazines, ranging from $2 million to $2.5 million.
The magazines want more than just a head shot of Saint; they want the full family, including North. Candid family shots are part of the offer.
However there is a snag; Sources state that at this point they’re “almost certain” they will reject all offers. You may recall, the last time around, Kanye unveiled the first pics of North West on Kris Jenner’s talk show.
That show is long gone, but Khloe’s got a new show launching in a few weeks.”

The upcoming musician Wisa Greid have received numerous messages condemning his behavior at the Citi FM’s event through social media and traditional outlets. His management has issued a statement to effect promise such behavior will not repeat itself.
Below is the statement posted on the artist facebook.
STATEMENT IN FULL
I fully understand the outrage that will greet this statement. And I want to begin by saying I am really, truly sorry.
In the early hours of Friday, December 25, I performed at the December 2 Remember Concert, organized by Citi FM. It was really my first big career live stage performance and the crowd had been amazing in the way they received me.
Then, I did something disappointing. I showed my genitals while performing.
I cannot explain this rash and irresponsible behaviour, but I have been trained to acknowledge my fault and be responsible for my actions. That is why I want to accept every bit of criticism that has come my wayin the ensuing hours.
I have disappointed myself, my family, my hard-working management team, Citi FM and the audience, who paid hard-earned money to be entertained but instead went away feeling anything but entertained.
Most importantly, I disappointed my God. I am exceedingly sorry for what I have done.
I acknowledge the statement issued earlier from the Office of Hiplife and Hiphop at the Musician Union of Ghana and will avail myself to all planned disciplinary actions in the coming week.
There are no words to describe how I feel about what I did. I hope the public as whole and industry stakeholder will find a place in their hearts to forgive me.
Thank you very much.

Wisa of “Ekiki Me” fame seemed overly excited during his performance at Citi FM’s “Decemba 2 Rememba” show.
He did what was made famous by Wanlov De Kubolor by showing his p***s during his performance.
From his performance, you could tell he was heavily under the influence of something.
Citi FM’s annual youth concert, Decemba to Rememba (#D2R2015) was the first sold out concert this Christmas season. Thousands of music lovers clad in white top and jeans let down their heads and made #D2R2015 the official Christmas party. They danced, shouted, sang along and tweeted their way to the top trends.
#D2R2015 was indeed not out of place to get patrons in the mood for Christmas as Addaquaye and the Bitonic singers delivered some of the greatest carols that got the audience involved.
The man whose songs have flooded the airwaves, Bisa Kdei, got everyone singing and dancing to his latest songs Mansa and Brother Brother.
The ‘Telemo’ man, Gasmilla, with a well-crafted stage performance spiced with amazing dancers, wowed the audience.
Then came the good old Kontihene, whose old songs never seem to fade from the memories of music lovers. With back to back performances of his old hit songs, he moved the ecstatic crowd to sing along with him before moving to the new tracks.
Tupac Shakur‘s story can’t be told without Biggie Smalls … and TMZ has learned the man taking on that role is no stranger to playing the east coast rap legend.
Jamal Woolard will be reprising his role as Christopher Wallace in Morgan Creek Productions’, “All Eyez on Me.”
Woolard got rave reviews in 2009 when he played the namesake role in “Notorious.”
We’re told producers were so blown away by Woolard’s Biggie performance, he was the top choice when it came to casting.
The casting is amazing and eerie … you feel like you’re smack in the middle of a raging East Coast-West Coast war … except for the iPhone 6.
TMZ broke the story … a new Tupac movie is in the works starring a first time actor who looks like a double for the late rapper.
Fun Fact: Jamal — who also raps — was featured on the posthumous Tupac track, “Untouchable.”

Lupe Fiasco has major plans for 2016.
Lu isn’t taking questions, but fans are already amped about the first confirmed project, Drogas.
Beyond that, Fiasco gave listeners another reason to rejoice. Apparently, his “Murals Jr.” cut is set to appear on that album.
At face value, Selena Gomez’s “Hands to Myself” and Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” might not seem like ideal mashup companions.
Maybe it’s because of the convoluted history between the two artists, but mostly, they’re just wildly divergent: Selena’s sultry number finds her craving another person’s touch — and as we saw from the music video she just released, the more body, the better.
Justin’s Purpose cut, on the other hand, is all about longing for someone’s forgiveness, and in his case, it’s about “more than just your body.”
But that shared, central theme of longing is what Australian singer Troye Sivanlatched onto when he decided to give the two tracks a hazy mashup makeover. As his recently-released debut album proved, Troye knows a thing or two about heartache (see his video for “Wild” for more on that).
And even though he sneaks a couple smiles into his video — released Monday (Dec. 21) via “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” — the final cut ultimately sounds like it’d fit in on his brooding Blue Neighbourhood.
Basking in a soft purple light, the 20-year-old fuses Selena and Justin’s standout singles for a dreamy, downtempo medley that gives off a weird lyrical juxtaposition but sounds so, so sweet. Check it out:
Ghanaian songstress, Jane Awindor, popularly known as Efya, has chosen to have fun over marriage.
She has hinted that she prefers to remain single than to get married. She explains that even if she would get married, it would be in about a decade to come. This, according to her, will enable her live a happy life, something she believes getting married may ruin.
The love life of the silky songstress took centre stage in the Ghanaian media when rumours went viral on the various social media platforms that she was dating rapper Sarkodie.
Sarkodie responded swiftly denying the rumours but confessed kissing Efya on set as they were shooting his hit track ‘I’m in Love with You’. Speaking on ‘Showbiz Filla’ on Hitz FM, Efya said that she is now concentrating more on making money than getting marriage.
Efya further told Amanda Jisseh on the show that there is nothing enjoyable about marriage especially in today’s generation. “I want to be successful so I don’t want anything complicated. I don’t want to get married and get divorced then my kids will have to move from one house to the other,” she said.
The ‘Best In Me’ hit singer however said that she is optimistic that she would one day meet the special gentleman of her life who will understand her and accept her justthe way she is. “I can get anybody I want, so when I am ready I will give it the chance,” she said with a beam of a smile in her face.

Miss Universe now has a raging war on its hands … between Latina contestants and Miss Philippines.
Sources who were backstage at Sunday’s pageant tell TMZ, after Steve Harvey throned and quickly de-throned Miss Colombia … Miss Puerto Rico, Miss Costa Rica, Miss Mexico and other Latina contestants swarmed Miss Colombia to console her.
The women were NOT blaming Steve Harvey, whom they said was gracious. They were squarely and tearfully blaming Miss Philippines for the embarrassment, although no one could coherently explain why the snafu was her fault.
Some of the Latina contestants were grousing backstage … Miss Philippines did not deserve the crown. We’re told most of them snubbed the winner, not congratulating her on the victory.
We’re told there has been a fierce competition between Colombia and the Philippines in the pageant’s history, and it certainly reared its head Sunday night.
Shanna Moakler, a former Miss USA and pageant honcho, told us on “TMZ Live” Monday the competition between Colombia and the Philippines is extremely fierce.

In today’s world when one speaks of Ghanaian fashion, a few characteristics comes to mind. The first is print cloth which the majority is produced overseas and the minority produce in Ghana is not owned by Ghanians.
Then we have the Kente cloth with carries a lot of culture and royality. Although it’s market is also slowly being faded away by foreign European and Chinese manufactured textile prints that emulate its colors and patterns.
Then there is the growing popularity of the batakari / smock cloth with is very nice and beautiful to wear, but to expensive for our designers to adopt essentially for creative styles. Which means most clothes made out of smock are made by those that actually manufacture it with very little creative designs to it.
However, an item of Ghanaian fashion that is hardly adopted by our designers are the cowry shells. In today’s day and age if a fan of African culture and fashion identifies them on clothes, 9 times out of ten it most likely would be the work of a Guinean creative, and very very few times Ghanaian designers.
Little do we Ghanaians know, the word “cedi” of our very own currency comes from a local word meaning a cowry shell. Cowry shells (from sea snails) were once used as money in Ghana. And clothes with Cowry shells were once worn by the well sorted Ghanaians of the community. When this traditional culture faded away in Ghana, well that’s a mystery. But in the growing world of African fashion, Ghanaian fashionistas could consider this great design accessory.

Renowned Pastor and Marriage counsellor, Rev. Counsellor(What is that?) Cyril George has advised ladies to know that they have a value in the society if they have forgotten or never imagined so and to fight for their rightful positions especially when it comes to a relationship.
This was the advice he gave on the December 18, 2015, Girl Talk Show at the national theatre headlined by the ‘Forgetting Me’ hitmaker Efya.
Speaking on the topic ‘The value of a woman’, the self-confessed s*x therapist(hmmm!), and the convener of ‘Sexier Together’, a program for couples said women are made for a purpose(and not just emotional handbags that end up in the kitchen) hence they should discover the purpose in their life and fight to achieve it.
He further said, women must know the power of their value because not even Bill Gate’s wealth or any amount of wealth any man has can compare to a woman’s value.
The counsellor who calls himself the Emotional Fixer tasked ladies to make a review of their relationship and enquire, if after any break-up they can celebrate themselves or not.
“Will you walk out as a confident woman, heartbroken or a happy woman”, he questioned.
He said women should let men succeed (and make all the money in the world) and they should not compare themselves to a man’s success but rather strive to meet up to the successes of their fellow women and then that will make their value stand.
The 2015 edition of Girl Talk Concert will surely go into the history books as Efya raised another standard with her energetic performance and soul speaking music.
Present to support her was Sarkodie, Afia Schwarzenegger, Mzvee and many other acts.
