I Have No Regrets In Life – Becca

Sultry Afro-pop singer Rebecca Acheampong, known in showbiz circles as Becca, has disclosed that she has made it a point to have no regrets in life because regrets are weapons that retrogress one’s development. “You just have to learn from your shortfalls and know how to overcome your problems rather than to hold on to your past,” she said. Speaking on Adom FM’s drive show, ‘Ofie Kwanso’, the smooth voiced singer said that she had never regretted quitting musical talent show, Mentor. Becca was part of contestants for season two of the show but left just before the real competition began under controversial circumstances: She alleged that the finalists, herself included, had been secretly tested for HIV/AIDS without prior notification or counselling. There are reports that she even sued Mentor organisers, TV3. Becca explained that she had decided to leave the past behind and continue with her career, adding that she was currently on very good terms with TV3. “We had some slight misunderstanding but we have been able to resolve our differences and that is the most important thing. I know God wanted me to quit the show for a special reason best known to him and I am willing to perform or join the panel of judges when I am invited to do so,” she revealed. Becca has five nominations in the upcoming Vodafone Ghana Music Awards scheduled to take place on April 14. She was nominated in the Artiste(s) of the Year, Afro-Pop Song of the Year, Best Music Video of The Year, Best Female Vocal Artiste and Song Writer Of The Year categories. She told Entertainment News that she was optimistic of winning at least an award. “I will be glad if I am chosen as the favourite but I believe that all the nominees in the various categories deserve to win,” said Becca. Becca revealed that her popular song, ‘African Woman’, which won the Video of the Year award at the 2011 edition of the 4Syte Music Video Awards and had been nominated for the Song writer of the year category, was written by her manager, Kiki Banson with the help of other people in the industry and expressed her gratitude to him for his support.

Delay Grabs Kubolor’s Penis

Hell broke loose in Ghana’s showbiz community when reported recently that a female musician had shown her naked sex organ to a live music audience in Accra and just when dust was settling on that issue, the paper has confirmed that sensational musician of Ghanaian-Romanian parentage, Wanlov Da ‘Kubolor’, has shown his naked hairy penis to TV and radio presenter, Delores Frimpong Manso.
Kubolor was reported to have shown his naked dick to Delores aka Delay at the Aphrodisiac Night Club in Accra and persons who were said to be present when the unthinkable happened include hip-life musicians Asem and Atumpan.
Reports said Delay begged to see Kubolor’s penis and she was so persistent that he got fed up and showed it to her.
Unconfirmed reports said Delay, upon seeing the matured dick, got so excited that she touched and fondled it to prove that it was a real penis and not a toy.
Delay’s reason for requesting to see Kubolor’s dick was apparently to prove that indeed he did not wear any underwear as he had publicly stated on various platforms.
The female presenter had invited Kubolor over for an interview on her Delay TV show and during the programme, he repeated that he did not wear any briefs or boxers beneath the piece of cloth he wrapped around his waist.
Delay however insisted that unless she saw the penis, she would not believe what Kubolor was saying.
After much persuasion, he was compelled to show it to her. The interview airs this Saturday on TV3.
Another celebrity who says he does hot wear underwear is actor cum movie producer Fred Nuamah.
NEWS-ONE has heard Delay would be interviewing him soon and only God knows what she would be asking him to show her.
Kubolor is a Ga word meaning vagabond and the musician is one of the most celebrated Ghanaian stars.
He is noted for his unique way of dressing in short skirts with no underpants underneath and also walking barefooted. Occasionally, he said, he had an erection when he played with women.
But the same women, he revealed, helped him to calm his penis by pressing it down. According to him, his wearing of a skirt was not for any unique reason but because of the hot weather.
His mode of dressing, he said, was less expensive just as walking barefooted was healthy, saying it massaged his feet.
In a previous interview with NEWS-ONE, Kubolor revealed that he derived inspiration from watching women’s buttocks while he ate a tropical fruit called abiu known in Ghana as ‘Alasa’, or velvet tamarind known as ‘Yoryi’.
“I get vim from it to continue surviving in life. When I see buttocks, I feel that maybe tonight I will be squeezing one or I will be enjoying one.
I watch them to appreciate it and hope for the future. That is the main thing I do but I have other hobbies too.
I enjoy browsing Facebook, looking for buttocks there. I like basket ball too,” he disclosed.
Kubolor, at birth, was named Emmanuel Owusu-Bonsu. He says he believes in speaking his mind and hiding nothing.
“My private world is actually my public world. I feel free at home, every where I am or everywhere I go in this world. If I go in front of the President or the Queen, I do the same.”
He has stated that he will not be censoring his lyrics.
“Arts can’t be censored. It is a problem human beings have all over the world. On radio they tell you, you can’t say ‘pussy’ but we can say vagina.
Hence, the radio edits, but you hear some of these things underground. If I am rapping, I am not going to hold my tongue if I want to say ‘ass’.
Or it depends, once I want to convey a certain picture to let fans or audiences truly understand what I am saying, I will say it as it should be said,” he said.
Kubolor is married to two wives and has two sons, one with each woman.
