Using the Grammy logo on my advertising flier disqualified me- MOGmusic
MOGmusic, a Ghanaian gospel artist, has stated that a mistake on his part resulted in his removal from the Grammy nominee list.
MOGmusic, born Nana Yaw Boakye, previously sparked fan enthusiasm by revealing that his album “Koinonia Phase II” was being considered for a Grammy Award.
MOGmusic fell short of nominations in categories such as Best Gospel Album, Album of the Year, and Best New Artist, despite his ambitions.
In an interview with Hitz FM, he apologised for the blunder, stating that the use of the official Grammy emblem on a promotional brochure was a mistake made by his social media team, which resulted in his disqualification.
“My social media handler made a mistake and put the official logo of the Grammys, and it got posted. Some Ghanaians drew my attention to it, and we quickly took it down, but it was too late. That is what went wrong on my side, it’s a mistake that my team made, and I take the bullet for myself,” MOGmusic stated.
Despite the defeat, MOGmusic advised Ghanaians to unite behind their artists and avoid ridiculing those who did not earn nominations.
He stressed the need for togetherness and solidarity within Ghana’s music community.
“One piece of advice I have for Ghanaians is that I think we need to be very supportive. Davido submitted his work time and time again, but he just got his nominations. I never saw Nigerians trolling Davido or comparing him to Burna Boy. I think what we should do is be more united so that these people will realize that there is a group of people from Ghana who support their people or go all out for their people,” he urged.

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.
Wendy Shay ensured that, in addition to educational contributions, entertainment had a role in the donation ceremony, exciting students with live performances of some of her favourites.
For the past three years, the Shay Foundation has been pursuing these humanitarian activities with zeal.

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.
