American rapper and song writer Vic Mensa has disclosed that he was selling weed even before it was made legal in some States. 

Speaking as a guest on Showbiz 360 on TV3, hosted by Giovani Caleb, Vic Mensa’s benevolence in providing fuel worth US$10,000 to people free of charge.

Speaking about why he decided to embark on such benevolent act, Vic Mensa spoke about his establishment called 93 Boyz. According to him, 93 Boyz is a black-owned weed brand which has been legalized for commercial purposes.

“So 93 Boyz, I just launched the first black-owned weed brand – it’s cannabis, in Illinois. It’s legal now,” Mensa said.

“You know, I’ve been selling it far before it was legal but now I’m selling it [legally and openly],” he added.

When his attention was drawn to Ghana’s prohibition for the substance, the rapper stated clearly, “I don’t sell it here [in Ghana].”

“I don’t have it here, don’t check me for it, you won’t find it,” he stressed and laughed.

 the singer highlighted how “the weed and the gas give-away” are tied into his upcoming concert “the Black Star Line Festival in a lot of ways.”

“What we’re looking to do is also to reinvest [in the community],” he explained.

“I think the narrative with Black communities in America, as well as the continent at large, has always been extraction; it’s always people come and they extract our resources, they extract our labour, they extract our value, and so with this Black Star Line Festival, our purpose is to not only come and profit or capitalise from the continent, but to really bring resources, and talent, an we’re working on providing clean water,” Vic Mensa elaborated.

“We’re partnering with some organisations, one of which my father started that we’ve already built a water hole, in Koftown [Koforidua] where my family is,” the Hiphop celebrity revealed.

"Shatta Wale approached me and said, 'My father, I need you to do me a favour. I said certain things to former President Mahama, and I feel terrible about approaching him. I took his hand and marched him there. It happened on the plane in public, and I have video footage that I will post. Dr. Tetteh claimed he was perplexed when Shatta Wale burst into tears and fell to his knees when he was led to Mahama's seat. He said that Shatta apologised passionately to the former President for criticising him during one of his unjustifiable tantrums some years ago. His disrespect disrupted the bond he had developed with Mr. Mahama during his campaign trip, where Shatta entertained the crowd.

Dr Lawrence Tetteh, the founder of Worldwide Miracle Outreach, has described a remarkable interaction on a plane between former President John Mahama and dancehall King Shatta Wale.

Dr Lawrence Tetteh said over the weekend that he and the two boarded the same airline to London and were seated close together.

According to him, Shatta Wale approached him and asked him to escort him to John Mahama’s aisle for a quick rendezvous, which he consented to because it was mutual between the two sides.

Nonetheless, in an interview with GTV, Dr Lawrence stated that Mr. Mahama completely accepted the apology and even made light of the issue.

He did, however, advise him to be on his best behaviour as a role model.

Dr Tetteh stated that Shatta demonstrated humility by accepting his error and promising not to repeat his behaviour.

Celestine Donkor comments about reports of getting weight loss surgery

According to her study, physicians typically prescribe such procedures based on health evaluations, especially if one's life is in danger owing to weight-related difficulties. However, in her instance, Celestine stated that she is quite fit and has never suffered high blood pressure or other abnormalities linked with being plus size, so surgery is not a possibility for her at this time, unless advised. "I am plus-sized yet highly active. In a marathon, I might even outperform a lot of slender folks. The obesity is in my genes; my family is large. I've never had high blood pressure or anything. I get frequent check-ups, drink enough of water, and get adequate rest, so I'm in good health."

Celestine Donkor, a gospel performer, has spoken out about claims that she is considering weight loss surgery.

Celestine stressed that she has not made a decision, thus “I wouldn’t say no and I wouldn’t say yes.”

Recognising the cultural pressure to maintain a specific image, particularly as an artist, the singer stated that she has weighed the health risks of body-altering operations.

Doreen Avio said in an interview with Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz that her phobia of knives is another barrier keeping her from undergoing surgery.

Celestine said that she had enough incisions on her body from her three caesarean sections during delivery.

In light of this, she prefers dieting and other less dangerous options such as exercise and intermittent fasting.

Celestine chose to invest in her soul above her body, despite receiving nearly GH¢50,000 for surgery.

“I am confident that if I have GH¢40,000 or GH¢50,000 to work on this body, I will invest in my soul.” This body will expire, no matter how thin and well-carved it is.
The useless thing after death is the human body; even animal bodies have value since we utilise them as sustenance, but for people, the corpse is no longer worthy of being discarded.”

Celestine Donkor warned her admirers to embrace her for who she is, as she will not endanger her life to adhere to conventional notions of what a perfect woman should look like.
