Praye Weds Beverly

Eugene Baah (Praye Honeho) feeds Berverly with a piece from their wedding cake

Celebrated rap artiste Eugene Baah, popularly called Praye Honeho of the music trio Praye, over the weekend got married to the love of his life, actress Beverly Afaglo.

The best man for Praye Honeho was his group mate Praye Tiatia aka Big J while the bridesmaid for Beverly was her loyal pal, the pretty-faced TV presenter Amanda Jissi.

Interestingly, the third member of the Praye trio, Kente also known as Praye Tintin, did not attend the wedding.

For reasons best known to the two lovebirds, they ensured that no media person was allowed to the celebrity wedding and even persons who had cameras on them were scrutinized to ensure they were not journalists.

NEWS-ONE cameras however managed to get to the wedding and capture some interesting photos.

The wedding came off at the Royal City Hotel in Tema last Saturday. Reports said they had a traditional engagement ceremony on Friday.

The love relationship between Praye and Eugene is no secret and they did not even attempt to hide it from the media.

It was therefore not surprising when a number of celebrities including award-winning actress Jackie Appiah, Pascaline Edwards, Kalsoume Sinare and Eddie Nartey showed up at the wedding.

We wish the couple a successful and blessed marriage.

Ghanaian rapper, singer and producer EL has expressed appreciation to his fans who voted for him in three categories at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs), but has urged them not to be perturbed that he did not win any award out of the three.

In an exclusive with NEWS-ONE, EL said though he appreciated the nominations, the priority of his music career was not to win awards but to satisfy his fans all over the world and do the type of music that would be accepted in Ghana and on the international music scene.

EL was nominated for the categories of Best Collaboration of the Year for the song ‘You Go Kill Me’ with Sarkodie, Best New Artiste of the Year and Best Rapper of the Year.

During the awards last Saturday, when TV and radio presenters Jeremy and Jay Foli were called to present the award for the Best New Artiste of the Year, the crowd started chanting EL’s name in anticipation that it would go to him: The room however went somewhat silent when the award went to Stay Jay.

NEWS-ONE asked EL how he felt about that particular category.

“That moment was the best feeling for me when I heard the crowd chanting my name. They were chanting my name because they expected me to win and I was happy that my works have been accepted. But I took it in good faith because it was not my award and they gave it to who they wanted to give it to.

“I am not surprised about the whole thing because I have a way of accepting things and putting them in the best perspective. If it is a sign that I have to work harder, then that is what I must do,” EL explained.

EL’s collaboration with Sarkodie, ‘You Go Kill Me’, emerged as the Most Popular Song of the year, yet that song did not win collaboration of the year. Though the song was produced by EL and he did the rap with Sarkodie, his name was conspicuously absent from that category.



Europe Tour, HHP & Caabo Snoop

The artiste confirmed to NEWS-ONE that he had a tour this May and that he would be performing in Germany, Amsterdam, London as well as Singapore. He revealed that very serious rehearsals were underway for the tour.

EL is currently collaborating with South African rap giant HHP and Angola’s Caabo Snoop.

“I produced a song for HHP and Samini and after the show, Samini called and brought Snoop on. We did a feel good song together and I am sure the whole of Africa would be happy about that production”.



VGMA Performance

EL, during his performance at the VGMA in the early hours of Sunday morning, left the audience when it seemed to be enjoying him most and he explained to NEWS-ONE what happened.

“I was asked to so a single song. That was what the organizers gave me but I managed to squeeze two songs within that limited time. If I had my way, I would have gone on until the audience got satisfied but it was not my show and there was nothing I could doo about it.

“The music I do, I do them for my fans. It is about them and I try to appeal to their hearts, minds and emotions as I entertain them. It has always been 90% concentration on my fans and just 10% for me. It’s all about them.”

‘Nude Pictures Are Not Me’

Could it be that the world is truly coming to an end? The nude picture staring you in the face is that of a 300-level student of the Nigerian Institute of Journalism, NIJ, Ogba, Lagos, Enitan Adeshola Okesanya.
She allegedly went nude to break into the silver screen as a way of living out her dreams of becoming a successful actress in future. The nude pictures and stories were circulated online as at Thursday morning.
The aspiring actress was said to have vowed to break into the industry with a bang. “As long as my strength can carry me,” she was quoted as saying.
But the new twist to the whole story is the fact that 21-year-old Eniola is claiming the nude pictures were not hers. In her explanation, since the nude pictures were uploaded online, she had received not less than 500 phone calls, asking questions about the stories.
Enitan claimed that she granted an interview to an evening newspaper, which was published Wednesday.

But unfortunately, someone mischievously changed the pictures and posted them on facebook.
Narrating how her nude pictures were uploaded online, Enitan said: “It was from there that all the websites copied the story thinking the pictures were mine. I am ready to bide my time, I come from a responsible home and won’t do anything that will bring the name of my family to disrepute, too much is at stake for me than for me to mess around.”
Meanwhile, according to reports, the nude pictures belong to another up-and-coming actress known as Tope Sholaja who alleged that she was blackmailed by someone who had unauthorised access to her blackberry and who asked her to pay N100,000 to have the pictures deleted.
Mixed reactions have continued to trail the release of the pictures on the internet since Thursday morning.
Fathia Balogun and many other actresses have condemned the act, declaring angrily on twitter that any girl that goes nude in order to become a star is a fool and won’t make it in the industry.-VANGUARD.
