Mary, a former personal assistant to popular Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene, recently revealed in an interview that she was paid a monthly salary of just GHS 400 (about $50) during her employment with the singer.

Mary served as a live-in assistant, taking care of various household duties and personal needs for Kuami Eugene. However, despite the long hours and extensive responsibilities, she claims her compensation was far below standard wages.

“I was paid 400gh every month for my first years and they payment was increased to 500gh the next year, so it continued that way until recently when i was sacked he reduced my pay to 400gh for that particular month”

She went on to describe difficult working conditions and a lack of appreciation from her former employer. This has sparked a debate around the appropriate pay and treatment of domestic workers in Ghana.

Critics have accused Kuami Eugene, who regularly flaunts his wealth on social media, of exploiting his employee. But others have noted that low wages are common practice in the domestic service industry across the country.

Mary’s account has shed light on the broader issue of fair pay for domestic workers in Ghana. It has raised questions around the value placed on traditional “women’s work” and what constitutes ethical employment practices in private homes.

As Kuami Eugene remains silent regarding his former assistant’s allegations, many will be closely watching to see if or how the popular musician responds. In the meantime, Mary’s experience is fueling an ongoing public dialogue about labor rights and equitable treatment.

Ghanaian musician and political activist Kwame Asare Obeng, better known as A Plus, has announced that he does not plan to return to making music. A Plus revealed this in a recent interview, stating that his musical career is behind him.

A Plus first rose to fame in the early 2000s as a hiplife artist, releasing popular songs like “Mensa Me Ho” and “Agyeii”. He gained a reputation for his socially conscious lyrics and outspoken views. However, in recent years, A Plus has become more focused on politics and activism than music.

In the interview, A Plus explained that he no longer has the motivation or interest to make new songs. “Music was just a phase in my life. I’ve moved on to other things now,” he said.

A Plus noted that his political activism takes up most of his time these days. He regularly comments on political issues and current events, earning him both praise and criticism. It seems clear that A Plus feels he can make more of an impact through politics than music at this stage in his life.

While A Plus did not rule out a return to music someday, he made it clear that it is not currently a priority. This news will surely disappoint fans of his popular hiplife tracks from the 2000s. However, it appears A Plus is committed to focusing his efforts on political activism rather than reviving his music career.

In the dynamic and unpredictable career of Kwame A Plus, it seems another chapter has drawn to a close. Where his outspoken views and activism will take him next remains to be seen. But for now, Ghana’s controversial “man of the people” has no plans to return to the studio or stage.

Shatta Wale, the popular Ghanaian dancehall artist, is facing accusations from a TikTok user named Hurbert_2244 after canceling a recent show in the UK.

According to the comments left by Hurbert on a TikTok video, Wale abruptly returned to Ghana after calling off his UK performance because he is allegedly wanted and afraid of being arrested by authorities.

The allegations stem from the recent controversy surrounding fellow Ghanaian social media star Hajia4Real, who was arrested last week on fraud charges. While the details are unclear, Hurbert suggested Wale may be implicated in Hajia4Real’s case and canceled his UK event to avoid potential legal trouble.

Wale has not publicly addressed the accusations or his canceled UK show. The artist is no stranger to controversy, having faced previous arrests and criticism for his outspoken persona. However, the claims from Hurbert represent a serious allegation that Wale avoided UK authorities out of fear over possible criminal charges.

The situation remains uncertain, as no official statements have been made by Wale or law enforcement regarding his UK trip and abrupt return to Ghana. But the social media chatter from Hurbert has fueled speculation and scrutiny around Wale and his connections to Hajia4Real’s high-profile fraud case.

As of now, these are unverified accusations against the dancehall star. But the allegations are gaining traction online and highlight the massive influence Shatta Wale wields in Ghanaian pop culture. This story is still developing, and Wale’s responses – or lack thereof – could have a major impact on his reputation and career.
