Lynx Entertainment cuts off Asem

Lynx Entertainment has severed ties with one of its most prolific artists, Asem. In a press statement signed by Albert Mensah, General Manager of Lynx Entertainment, based on recent events surrounding Asem, the rapper has been officially dropped from the record label pending further legalities which will be completed by the end of the week.

According to the release, the reasons for the action were as follows: that Lynx Entertainment and Asem have had differences in opinion as to the direction his career should go; For the past few months, Asem has been under a new management and certain decisions taken by the artist and his new management have not represented the general image the record label wishes to portray; and Lynx Entertainment also feels that keeping Asem on the label could limit him from pushing his career in the direction that he sees fit.

According to Albert Mensah, the termination procedure is being done amicably, and henceforth Lynx Entertainment will no longer represent Asem as an artist.

Ghanaian Movie: The Perfect Picture

I just watched the famous Ghanaian Movie "The Perfect Picture".

I am very much impressed by the overall quality of the movie. The choice of songs is very good, the actors, including some of the most popular in Ghana at this moment (Jackie Appiah, Chris Attoh, KSM) are excellent.

The scene I enjoyed most is the one where the Doctor (KSM), advice the young couple to spice up their sexual life by doing unusual things like playing roles before making love. At the beginning of that scene, Chris Attoh has a look on his face that I could not understand.

To Shirley Frimpong-Manso and your team, you did a good job. Thumbs up. :)

"I AM NOT MARRIED, I’M STILL SINGLE "– EAZZY

News breaking from unknown sources and speculations on marriages amongst celebrities is no new phenomena but when it is accompanied by pictures, it becomes somewhat controversial, especially when some very trusted individuals confirm such stories.

 Unfortunately the recent outbreak of a story which indicated a secret marriage between Producer of the year, Richie and first and only lady of Lynx Entertainment Eazzy has been finally cleared out by the management of the record label as a total lie and a misrepresentation.

Speaking to C.E.O of Lynx Entertainment, Richie Mensah who was clearing the air, “The pictures are from a video we shot of Eazzy’s “One Gal” song which features me. We have remained silent this long because we didn’t want to disclose the concept of the video until it was almost ready but as it stands the video is nearly done and would be released soon”.

 In regards to these recent developments, Lynx Entertainment would want the general public to know that there was no such wedding and that the pictures were from a video shoot, they would also want to state that anybody who validated the story spoke for himself and is hence responsible for his words.

In a related development, the video promises to be a ground breaking one. The song, an exceptional masterpiece is my favorite on the Twinkle album. The song is receiving massive airplay and deserves its place. Eazzy spoke to Quame Junior and had this one thing to say “I have never been married, and I’m still as single as ever”.
