Rev. Owusu Bempah who is known for his constant death and doom prophecies faced the wrath of the Muslim youth who stormed his church premises and threatened to burn it.

Asamoah Gyan

The former Black Stars Captain had his woes doubled after his wife, Gifty Gyan, was vindicated by results of a DNA test confirming he was the actual father of her three children.

Gyan had accused his wife of infidelity, requesting for a DNA test to be carried out on all three children to ascertain paternity.

But the DNA results revealed Gyan was the biological father of all three kids.

Gyan’s obvious rushed decision became a big embarrassment for him in 2019.

The two dancehall artistes took their rivalry and beef to another level when Stonebwoy pulled a gun on stage of the 2019 Ghana Music Awards in what he says was self-defense.
