In spite of his great opposition to MUSIGA President Obour, music producer, Appietus has said that he is the best president the union has ever had.

In an exclusive interview with citinewsroom.com, Appietus said even though Obour has not delivered to his expectation, he believes he has done better than his predecessors.

“If we are comparing him to his predecessors then he has done 10 times better than them. If he argues on that level, he is right,” he said.

He made the statement in response to a recent comment made by Obour that he is the best President MUSIGA has ever had.

Obour, born Bice Osei Kuffuor, will be completing his term of office this years after serving two terms.

Since he was elected in 2011, and his subsequent re-election in 2015, Obour has been widely criticised by people including Appietus who think he [Obour] has not paid attention to the youth.

Obour’s critics also claim he has not been able to undertake tangible projects for the members of MUSIGA.

Appietus contested Obour in 2015 but lost to him.

He had complained of unfair voting system which gave only delegates the opportunity to vote.

According to the beat maker, that system made room for vote buying to take place.

Meanwhile, Appietus has said that he is no longer contesting for the position because he knows things have not changed and would lose if he contests.

The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) will be going to the polls on June 26, 2019.

Fast-rising Disc Jockey DJ Sly bemoans the selection criteria used for DJ awards only favour those who play bigger shows and have connections, but not necessarily the hard-working ones.

For the past five years, DJ Sly has always been on the list of nominees on the Ghana DJ awards, but has not for once won it, an experience which makes him suspect winning such awards is not just by dint of hard work.

The gifted DJ, who successfully pulled off a solo concert dubbed the ‘Unstoppable Concert’ at the West Hills Mall, hopes that organisers would review their selection criteria to allow other hard-working DJs like himself be recognized.

For DJ Sly, however, it is unfair to judge DJs by the opportunities they get to play at big shows. He would rather DJs are judged based on their ability to put together their own shows like he did last year.

“We’ve been doing great stuff, we are amazing, we can turn on the crowd, but we don’t have the opportunity to play certain concerts, certain shows like VGMA,” he explained why it is difficult for him to be recognised.

Even without an award, DJ Sly is convinced that his self-organized concert gave him a milestone and makes him a force to reckon with.

Year Of The Return From Our Diasporan Family. Its On!!!

Ghanaian musician eShun blasts some Ghanaian churches, stating that some do not create the right atmosphere for secular artists to attend. She goes on to say that many of them are deemed sinners and judged harshly, suggesting that many artistes are turned away as soon as they enter the church doors.

The Akyia hitmaker during an interview also claimed that there are many artistes with big talents who could be a blessing to the Kingdom and society at large, yet the prejudicial stance of the church towards them makes them feel unwelcome within their four walls. The right attitude of the church in her opinion is to draw such artists in, minister to them in love and this could bring about any necessary changes to their lives. Instead, however, the church condemns them and turns them away from coming to their ministries.

“Let’s even say the artistes perform songs that have what we call, “bad lyrics”, is this not the chance for the church to draw closer and correct him or her? But that is the time that when you get to the church gate, one brother or sister will look at you like you just descended from hell, like oh look, here comes the sinner. You won’t want to go there again”, the Someone Loves Me hitmaker narrated.

eShun did clarify that she had not experienced such encounters with her church, Light of the World Chapel, but has with other churches. Many of her colleagues in the music industry have also experienced this less than welcoming atmosphere from some churches.

eShun stated, “The church is built on love, yes? Is this love only for a set group of people, or is it that people just don’t know what love is?”

This hot topic was discussed on the mid-morning drive show with Sokoo Hemaa on Rainbow Radio when eShun was asked whether artists were treated the same as everybody else in the church.

The songstress has just released the video for her new song, “Clap for Yourself”. You can check it out here.
