MADE IN TAADI

Finally we have gotten response from Westline Entertainment concerning the allegations made by Ras Ebo of Kuush Family. Readers will recall that we reported early on allegations made against the event organizers by the Kuush Family CEO. Check the story here in case you missed it RAS EBO BEMOANS The PRO of Westline Entertainment has denied all the allegations and said they are made up stories and do not contain one iota of truth. Nana Kwesi Coomson, PRO of Westline Entertainment in a telephone conversation pointed out that since the award was a maiden edition, nominees were given the privilege to present any song irrespective of date of release for consideration by the board. In the case of Ras Ebo, the PRO hinted that he presented 3 songs including his Kuush Style hit for nominations in one the Hiplife categories. But the board on the other hand selected a different song other than the Kuush Style which Ras Ebo preferred to have been nominated. According to Nana Kwesi, the bo

Picture of Musician Ras Ebo Conspicuously among the bombshells that happened during the 2017 Rush Western Music Awards was the withdrawal of nomination by the Kuush Family Head Ras Ebo. In an exclusive interview on Paragon FM, the Indomie Girl hit maker has revealed that his decision to back off the award was as a result of exclusion of his hit song Kuush Style by the Award Board. He said: “When it [the nominations] came, some songs of mine were eliminated from inside [ sic ]… they were saying Kush Style is a [ sic ] profane”. He wondered why the song met radio stations guidelines and enjoyed massive airplay but was not deemed fit for nominations by the board. “I was like wow. The music they’ve been playing on radio so long how can it be profane?” he quizzed. When asked about his reasons for not attending the show, he had this to say: “I wanted to come [for the show]. I was with a friend and the friend called Ampaabeng and said ‘yeah I took your number

It is general believe that the major impact a radio personality may have on their listeners is the content of the broadcast they carry. Against this backdrop, most radio hosts and DJs pay much attention to their voice and accent, forgetting about what they wear to work. An Italian fashion designer and businesswoman, Miuccia Prada once said: “What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.” We did some quick review on Facebook of some male radio personalities who work at Radio Maxx 105.1 FM  aka the orange family and Paragon 99.9 FM  aka the purple family. 1.

Elorm Beenie in Melody FM Studio The CEO of BeenieWords.com has chastised Ghanaian bloggers for blogging about worthless contents. In a Facebook post to his over 17.8k followers to celebrate an acknowledgement he received from the 2016 Grammy Best Reggae Album winner Morgan Heritage, ElormBeenie asserted that he was not interested in awards but rather credible content and sane reportage.   However, some of his followers disagreed with his post. One of them Babs Gh , commented: " Your stories only bout  Samini Dagaati  n Stonebwoy. You dnt even talk of any gud things about di other side. #NoLoyalty" Check the comment and reply from Elorm Beenie here: In a radio interview with Haruna Babaginda in Takoradi last Saturday, Elorm Beenie had this to say when he was asked similar question on Melody FM: "Somebody can come and drop audio in your inbox and just leave. A week or two later then they ask why you did not

Dear Manager, Yesterday, I came to your 4.2 stars Google rated hotel to buy food. I was handed a food menu, but unlike Rev Mensah Otabil, I prefer to eat with my fingers so I ordered grilled tilapia and banku. Do you know why I chose that delicacy? Your food menu said local foods like my choice takes between 20 to 30 minutes to prepare. Since there was a football match ongoing, I think it was Monaco and Juventus, I did not mind waiting that long. True to your words, my food was ready after 27 minutes. Gorgeously lying on a flat ceramic plate was my grilled tilapia with sliced onions and green pepper on top of it. My mouth began to water upon seeing the waiter walking gently towards table 10. However, my appetite started diminishing when I saw my two small balls of banku wrapped in plain thing plastic bags. But I had read somewhere that: " Realistically, eating hot food from a plastic bag one time will probably have no effect on a person's health, but those who ma

After winning Best Western Region DJ Award in 2017 Rush Ghana DJ Awards, he was accused of allegedly paying bribe to the organizers to get nominated and eventually winning the award.    DJ Bibini who works with Melody FM speaks for the first time after his long silence on the topic. DJ BIBINI WITH HIS AWARD Speaking to  Yao Mawutor Fianu , host of  Paragon FM mid morning show, DJ Bibini said people who were ignorant and did not know what they talked about will accuse him of paying bribe to the organisers. "Anybody who says I don't deserve the award excuse me to say is ignorant and doesn't know what he or she is talking about. Because if you look at the year under review I worked so hard" He went on to boast that he was the most hardworking DJ in the whole of Western and Central Regions. "I am the hardest working DJ in Takoradi. I am [also] the hardest working DJ in central and western region" DJ Bibini who has over 12.6K foll

Last Saturdy, Melody Fm's own DJ Bibini was crowned Best DJ in the Western Region after beating his compatriots DJX, DJ Berry, DJ Oxygen, DJ Acidic, DJ Magnus and Majik George. It will be recalled that prior to the event which was held at Silver Star Tower in Accra, West Gold Radio's DJ Tablet who was nominated in the Western Region Best DJ Categroy was replaced with DJ Bibini by the organizers. It is being speculated that DJ Bibini paid a sum of Two Thousand Ghana Cedis (GH¢ 2,000.00) to the organizers to get his name on the list and also rig the results in his favour.   The allegation is currently trending on Facebook with some DJs in the oil city throwing weight behind the rumour. Ntukwadze Breda Porsh  who is lead DJ at Paragon FM wrote on his Facebook wall: "Congrats DJ Bibini. Now I believe in magic n witchcraft n also in parlance; Better late than never..."  But in an exclusive interview with MADEINTAADI ,  Merqury Quaye  who is the CE

Kofas media and Miracle Wave International latest comedy movie John and John is slated to premiere in Takoradi on Saturday 13th May, 2017. THE PLOT  'John and John' is a 150,000 dollars budgeted  movie which conveys the story of the two guys called John (played by Kumawood star Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin and Kalybos) who have completed a million dollar gold deal and have a difficult task to deliver the money to their boss. But on the way, their car develops fault and breaks down. So they decided to pass the night at a hotel.  The Johns trouble began after they accidentally spilled the dollars stacked in a briefcase in the full glare of other guests at the hotel.  This leads to various attempts by everyone at the hotel to steal the money from the two Johns. CHARACTERS:  Apart from Liwin and Kalybos, the movie features   Nigeria’s Pete Edochie, Funny Face, KSM, Maame Dokono, Ahoufe Patri, John Dumelo, James Gardiner, Kobi Rana, Yaw Dabo, Nana Ama McBrown, Salma Mumin,  Rosel

A Facbook post by Laud Nana Quophy  which sought to mock Ghanaian women has generated argument on Facbook. Facebook Profile Photo of Laud Nana Quophy In a Facebook post whiles feeling silly, the graduate of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) who is currently the Managing Director at Bluezone Global LTD suggested among other things that an Ashanti girl will insult you for breaking up with her, but a Krobo girl will sleep around with your friends if you broke up with her. After some hours, he deleted the post. But some Krobo women who felt insulted have started sharing the post and the post has since gone viral on Facebook. One woman who is vociferous on the topic is   Sandra Padikie Ofori . She quizzed on her wall: " Ghanaian Men, pls Wat have we the Krobo women done to u.

Early on we brought you the best dressed male personality, we present to you the lady who stole the night with her stunning purple straight dress.

After all the glitz and glamour on the red carpet, we bring to you the best dressed male personality on the red carpet at the just ended Rush Western Music Awards. It is no other than the CEO of Corp Nation, Corp Sayvee. Sayvee might not be the Rap god in the oil city, but you can trust him for his 'cooperate' style of dressing.

Merqury Quaye and his crew bring to Ghanaians, the 2017 Rush Ghana DJ awards this Saturday at the Silver Star Towers in airport residential area, Accra. In all, there are 10 regional categories and 24 national categories. The team at Made in Taadi blog has analyzed the Best Western Region category which has nominees like DJ Bibini , DJ X , DJ Berry , DJ Oxygen , DJ Acidic , DJ Magnus and Majik George. We believe strongly the competition for this category is between DJ Magnus and DJX. DJ Magnus having won the Best Radio DJ in the just ended Rush Western Music Awards stands tall with his recent title.   DJX on the other hand, is the reigning Best Mixtape DJ. He is also the only DJ from western region who got the highest nomination, namely Best western DJ, Mixtape DJ and Best Music Promoter. Another advantage DJX has is that, this is his third appearance in the award since its inception. In the meantime, voting has ended to pave way for compilation of votes cast.

Every musician in Ghana is noted for their unique lexicon. When you mention 'Abodam", in Ghana, everyone knows you are referring to man insane Kwaw Kese. The Bhim N ation King, is no other than Stonebwoy and his Bhim Natives associate him to 'Aaarbwoy". The hiplife lovers know Sarkodie for terms like "money no bi problem', 'Haaarh"and 'What-else?'. In his version of E-40's choices, AMG CEO Criss Kwaku Waddle began by saying "To the Bloodclat world". "Poof Poof" is another bonafide term of AMG. We want to find out if the Western Region Rapper of year 2017 has joined the Arab Money Gang Business. It will be recalled that the last time AMG tried to sign a Taadi based artist, the deal backfired and the relationship between them and the artist is like that of America and North Korea.
