Yvonne Nelson Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has announced to the general public that no top footballer sponsored or footed the bill of two movie productions she was recently involved in. She said it had come to her notice that certain individuals were spreading rumours that a top footballer sponsored the production cost of her movies.

Lydia Forson and fans Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson says she suspects the person who hacked and took over her twitter account is someone close to her. “I realized the person had been reading my emails too, so they changed my email for twitter and my password. I’m afraid and won’t be if certain personal information of mine may come out soon,” she added in a short conversation yesterday. The actress is suspecting people around her but she is yet to drop names. The unknown hacker has used the pictures and name of American singer Nicki Minaj to hijack Forson’s twitter account of 17619 followers last Saturday. Currently, all efforts to retrieve it have proven futile and she has got a new twitter account @lydia_forson for her fans to follow her. Lydia Forson, before the hacking incident, was one of Ghana’s celebrities with a large following on twitter.  Credit: NEWS-ONE

Rana Sensational Ghanaian music group Rana has made use of a warehouse abandoned for several years to achieve what has been described as a great-picture and art-direction music video for the group’s hit single, ‘Mr. Cupid’, produced by Imajin Records . The video is scheduled for its first TV premiere on Saturday, June 30 on 4syte TV. But ahead of the anticipated premiere, industry players who have seen the video are hailing the video production team for a good work done, especially with the choice of location. The video was partly shot at a scruffy desert location in Kintampo and an abandoned warehouse in Kumasi. The video production team spent weeks on the set to make sure they achieved the right images, effects and setting they wanted. Hence they had to deal with snakes and rodents. The concept of the video starts with all three members of Rana descending from the skies onto a desert and entering a village where they picked their costumes from a drying-line.
