I’m Now Into Sports Betting, And It Pays Better Than Doing Music – Opanka
According to Opanka, many prominent Ghanaians openly partake in gambling while concurrently criticizing it with hypocrisy.
“There are a lot of people who are into betting and there are some big people who bet but when you ask them quickly they will say that betting is not a good thing but me I say it as it is,” he told Amansan Krakye.
Speaking about the trend of betting among Ghanaians, the hip-hop musician noted that while it can be addicting, most people rely on it to make a living.
“Betting is addictive but it depends on who is betting however when you have some money and you are not too greedy you can win some bets but you need to discipline yourself,” Opanka born Armstrong Affum added.
“I have won several bets before and I’m not bragging but I really have a lot of knowledge into how betting works and how to make money from betting,” he stated on Kastle FM in Cape Coast.
He ended on the Kastle Entertainment Show “If I’m challenged to come out with two odds every week though I’m not a magician so I won’t say it is certain but in seven days I can win about four to five times”.
Meanwhile, Rapper, songwriter, and poet Armstrong Affum, better known by his stage name Opanka, has discussed how Ghanaians rush to organize a burial service for a deceased individual.
The singer of “Enye Betee” claimed in an exclusive interview with Amansan Krakye that the same individuals who will contribute to or pay to your funeral will disregard you when you are unwell and in need of care.
“When you are alive and suffering no one will bother to help you even those who are sick you’ll never see people contributing to take the person to the hospital,” he remarked on Cape Coast’s Kastle FM.

The organisation aims to support the educational needs of the community. Our main mission is to provide equitable access to quality education for underserved communities. It’s sad to see people drop out of school because they do not have the proper materials. Education is the key to the future, and we must do everything possible to make sure that every child has access.”
The acclaimed singer welcomed kindred spirits with open arms, pushing them to band together and make a lasting influence on the foundation’s noble cause.

Ex-husband drags Xandy Kamel on social media again
King Kaninja, the ex-husband of actress Xandy Kamel, has reacted to charges that his casual attitude and infidelity spree ended their two-year marriage.
His recent outburst comes in response to an interview Xandy gave on Delay Show, in which she declared, among other things, that she was the family earner, rented their house, and paid all the expenses.
She also said she had over GH30,000 in her account at the time of her wedding, but that amount had been reduced to barely over GH100 in two years.
Xandy also discussed the trauma she faced in her marriage, which cost her two pregnancies.
“I was still in my wedding gown when the marital problems began.” People began phoning to tell me they were having an affair with my husband. In my marriage, I’ve only felt happy for 5 minutes. We didn’t even have sex. “I think we made love about six times in our one year together,” a depressed Xandy admitted.
Kaninja claims the marriage collapsed because Xandy was more preoccupied with her lesbian lovers rather than their marriage.
He added that his ex-wife portrayed the victim as merely a front to hide her embarrassment.
Kaninja stated that Xandy is unsuitable for marriage since she cannot even arrange her matrimonial bed or clean it.
Even routine household duties, he claimed Xandy’s mother was doing.
Kaninja, who had opted not to respond, stated that he felt compelled to clear his name.
He claims he hasn’t spoken up because he doesn’t want to get involved in the dirt like his ex-wife.
“The reason I don’t pay attention to some of this news is that eagles and pigs aren’t natural enemies.” Pigs adore playing in the mud, therefore there is no need to accompany them there. “When you follow them, you become dirty like them,” he grumbled.
Kaninja stated that if Xandy did not stop firing, he would be forced to unleash all of the bombshells.
