Music Moments of 2015: Ofori Amponsah came back, & Wisa gave us headlines + More

 In 2015 there were a lot of music moments in the country; some of it got nationwide attention while others got regional attention.

It will be unfair to start the music moments with this particular incident because it just happened but I guess it’s best we use it.

New artist and ‘Ekiki me’ hit maker Wisa showed off his “Penis” on stage on the 24th of December at the Citifm’s December to remember show held at the conference Center.

Even though the artist has no other hit song apart from ‘Ekiki Me’ this December Wisa has been trending on both social and traditional media after that incident.

He has apologized but that does not cut for it; the question is what at all will make you show you very ‘Small’ penis on Stage.

Another music moments in 2015; yet again not a good one to follow Wisa’s moments but I guess it best fits; Remember the return of ‘Ofori Amponsah’ (sorry Former Pastor and now Pastor Alewa) to secular music.

Some where in October the born again Hi-life veteran Ofori Amponsah gained national attention when he announced that he is coming back to hi-life music.

The news did not go well with my fans, Christians and fellow musicians like Lord Kenya.

I remember he was mocked heavily but he responded positively; Ofori released a single titled ‘Alewa’ which featured multiple awards winning rapper Sarkodie.

The ‘Keywa produced hit single was well received by many including those who mocked him but won Ofori Amponsah the name ‘Pastor Alewa’.

Music moment with Shatta Wale in 2015, remember when the artist showed off his ‘boxer shoots’ on stage when performing at the Tigo Ghana Meets Nigeria show in May.

He came to explain that he was celebrating the Nigerian Hi-life legend FELA and that day of the show happened to be FELA’s birthday.

That became topic for regional discussion on both traditional and new media platforms.

In 2015, Sarkodie released his first Hi-life live recording fourth Studio album titled: MARY.

The album dedicated to his late grand Mum was released in September on the 12th at the West hills Mall where he connected with his fans.

Thousands tripped to watch Sarkodie and support a good initiative. The album received a lot of positive reviews and was launched inside Tamale after the Accra version.

Let’s do the last one; Music moments with Stonebwoy. He is a multiple award winning artist and arguably the most decorated artist of 2015.

Stonebwoy lost his mum this year after a short illness but made mama proud in so many ways.

He won Artist of the year at Ghana music awards 2015, BET best international act Africa, Afrimma and more.
His music moments were all big wins for the dancehall artist who was crowned face of Dancehall music in Ghana at the BASS AWARDS 2015.

There were lots of music moments this year, some of them were good like rapper EL releasing his second studio album “ELOM” and VVIP having a strong year with major hit single ‘SKOLOM’.

Some bad music moments were between Shatta Wale and Bull Dog. The artist and manager relationship went sour in 2015 and brought a lot of unnecessary information out.

Do you remember when Mzbel said there was no Jesus; yes, many fans that were Christians almost chopped her head off but she held her side of the mantle.

There are a lot of music moments but for now let’s make due with what we have.

See you all in 2016, God take us there safely.
