My court case had no effect
on my brand — Wisa Greid
•Wisa
BY ERICA ARTHUR
BLACK AVENUE
Musik (BAM)
signee, Eugene
Ashie, known in
showbiz as Wisa
Greid, has said his experience
at the Citi FM ‘Decemba
2 Rememba’ concert
in 2015, which landed him in
court, had in no way affected
his brand as an artiste.
The ‘Ekiki Mi’ hit maker,
who has been standing trial
since 2016 for allegedly showing
off his manhood during a
performance on stage at the
Accra International Conference
Centre (AICC), told the
DAILY HERITAGE that
the issue in court was having
no negative effect on his
brand and that he still gets
gigs to perform at events
under his new management,
BAM, owned by D-Black.
He said “There is no way
my case in court has affected
my career; I still perform at
events. The reason why people
haven’t heard of any new
song from my camp is that I
am working on a new album
which I will be releasing
soon. But currently I have released
a new song titled
‘Mama K3 Dada’.”
According to the artiste,
his new song has been
crafted in a manner that will
instantly grab attention
“while moving you off your
feet”.
The song produced by DJ
Breezy is a reminiscent of
some childhood experiences,
when children characterised
themselves as mothers and
fathers while playing. “I wonder
which child didn’t play
the ‘Mama K3 Dada’ role.”
Wisa also cautioned the
youth to stay away from hard
drugs like Tramadol, which is
capable of destroying their
dreams and vision.
He said, “Personally, I do
not know anyone who uses
Tramadol but my advice to
those using it is that they
should refrain from the use
before it gets out of hand.”
‘Mama k3 Dada’ is available
on all music platforms
online.

I'm not romantically involved
with Fella — Mr Eazi
NIGERIAN SINGER, Mr Eazi, has denied
having a romantic relationship with
Yolo actress Fella Makafui before meeting
his girlfriend Temi.
“I’m not involved with Fella romantically.
I’ve never been,” Mr Eazi said as a
reply to a question posed by Delay, a
broadcaster.
The 'Skin Tight' hit maker further denied
dating a popular Ghanaian star as
rumoured, adding that he is a reserved
person.
“Me I just dey live my life, very reserved,”
he added.
Speaking on the Delay Show, Mr Eazi
said he only associates with women he
can connect with.
“Before Temi my ex-girlfriend was
from Eritrea, East Africa, before her my
girlfriend was Nigerian, a nice Igbo girl,
before then when I was in school I was
involved with a Ghanaian girl,” he explained.
Born Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade,
the ‘Pour Me Water’ hit maker on January
22, 2017, shared a photo of the
‘Yolo’ actress Makafui with the words
“Sometimes I wake up and think to myself
why is Makafui so beautiful? Like
she is soo fine! God really is Great
TBH!!”.
His post courted lots of conversations
on social media.
Mr Eazi’s mainstream attention in
Ghana was with the song ‘Bankulize'
produced by DJ Juls and has collaborated
with the likes of Sarkodie, Pappy
Kojo, and Efya.
His other hits include ‘Skin Tight’,
‘Anointing’, ‘Holl Up’ and ‘Shitor’.
Mr Eazi was excluded from the 2016
Ghana Music Awards because he is not
Ghanaian per the definition of the award
scheme.
