Before his death, Fortune was the brain behind most of Davido’s photos on Instagram and a member of his crew.

His death came after he was invited to a video shoot location at a private beach In Tarkwabay for a video shoot where he was supposed to take the footage from the shoot. On their way to the shoot, the boat conveying him and the rest crew capsized.

According to a close source who spoke with Zebra News, “it was a location for a video shoot and they were already in high spirit before the boat they rented to convey them capsized due to the waves on the sea.”

Before the rescue team arrived at the scene, he has drowned drinking lots of water”. It was a scary scene as his death is on the list of those around Davido who has lost their lives in the past 4 years.

“It’s a shocking situation coming after the 30BG crew are yet to recover from Obama 44’s death few months ago. We pray and comfort with his family because he is the breadwinner of his family and he is a jolly good fellow.” the source further added.

Meanwhile, the news of Davido official photographer death comes just 3 months after the death of the hit maker’s close friend and business associate, Habeeb Ademola Uthman, popularly known as Obama DMW died as a result of a heart condition

Dancehall musician, Shatta Wale, has once again been called out by his colleague, Samini, for tarnishing the brands of others in the music industry.

Samini, described Shatta as ‘fake’ adding that most of his awards were not based on merit but rather, he bought his way through it.

It could be recalled that the SM Boss earlier in a post revealed that all 11 3Music Awards he took home back in 2019 were not based on his hard work but rather formed part of the grand scheme by the organizer of the awards, Abdulai Abu Sadiq to spite Sarkodie and Stonebowy.

“Sadik do u remember telling me that the 3music awards u will give me 11 awards because Sarkodie and stone dey bore u. We didn’t do well but I am doing well by speaking the truth,” Shatta revealed in a tweet.

But reacting to the celebrated dancehall musician’s latest revelation which has taken many by surprise, Samini, in a series of tweets sighted by GhanaWeb stated that Shatta enjoys painting others black.

“Life! You want to tarnish everyone’s image to elevate yours lol! tell them about your base awards and all the other fake behind closed doors accolades y’all take just to get closer to authentic legacies. Why didn’t you reject them mr FAKE revolutionary pah pah #bangerdrought.”

In a separate tweet, Samini added: “Come expose #bulldog too ehh @shattawalegh. cus base awards matters Dey.”

My biggest paycheck came from UTV – Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo

On By MaufemorIn Entertainment NewsLeave a comment

Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo has disclosed that the highest money he has ever earned as an entertainment pundit was given to him by United Television (UTV).

Arnold who is a regular panel member for the popular United Showbiz programme said although he has practised this profession for several years, it is until recently it started to pick up.

“First, we started this whole entertainment journalist thingy as a passion. But with time, it’s gradually picking up. My highest paycheck came from UTV and I won’t lie about it. Although the recognition for those of us in this profession is low, some of us are pulling our weights,” he stated in an interview with Delay.

Arnold has served as a pundit on various radio and television entertainment talk shows for years, including Peace FM’s Entertainment Review and GhanaWeb TV’s Bloggers’ Forum in his bid to contribute to discussions and shape narratives.

On a number of occasions, he has clashed with celebrities and fans of celebrities who were bruised by his remarks on a subject. Topmost among them is his encounter with Shatta Wale.

The dancehall artiste and the pundit were engaged in a near-fight during UTV’s United Showbiz programme sometime in June 2021. This was after Arnold described Shatta Wale as an inconsistent and confused artiste.

When asked whether he was under any form of pressure after Shatta Wale labelled him a poor entertainment journalist who rocks a GHC2.50p worth of shoe, Arnold said:

“I won’t let Shatta Wale subject me to any form of pressure. I’m not doing badly in life. I’m not in a rented apartment. I have my own place. For someone like me who has been working at the civil aviation for over ten years and I’ve been doing entertainment alongside, just use your discretion and see. I’m good.”
