The 2014 Ghana Music Awards cannot be forgotten because Ghanaians witnessed one of the most romantic proposals on stage between Big Brother stars Elikem Kumordzie and Pokello Nare.

However, there seems to be “trouble in paradise” as fashion designer Elikem Kumordzie, filed for a divorce in less than 2 years after the couple got married on September 28, 2015 in Zimbabwe. Early this year, Kumordzie hinted that his marriage to Pokello was a mistake.

He posted a short video of an engagement ring with a big rock on with the caption: “I’m definitely not making a mistake on the next one. The right one”. The two have been on separation with Pokello living in Zimbabwe and her husband in Ghana.

According to reports by thezimbabwenewslive.com, Elikem filed the divorce last month, saying he lost affection and love before he declared their relationship “irreparable”.

He also cited among other things, jealousy as a cause of the breakdown of their marriage.

The Ghanaian fashion designer who is being represented by Harare lawyer Rungano Mahuni of Mahuni Gidiri Law Chambers noted in the petition that his jealous wife was harming his professional work as she got uncomfortable when he plays romantic roles in movies.

Elikem also seeks a divorce decree order that custody of their minor child be awarded to her with him exercising reasonable access on agreed holidays. He also wants to pay $500 monthly as maintenance.

Meanwhile, Pokello has filed a notice of intention to defend summons issued by her husband, seeking a decree of divorce against her.

“Be pleased to take note that the defendant has entered an appearance to defend the above action on this 28th day of September,” she noted.

Things seem to be getting real now even though Elikem, in the past, has shot down rumours of their imminent divorce.

Yhaw Hero hits the ground running with debut EP “Yours Faithfully”

After garnering so much attention and buzz, Ghanaian artist, Yhaw Hero has finally released his debut EP “Yours Faithfully”. The project is an open letter from the rapper to his fans, as he gives them more insight into his life and his thought process.

Before the EP dropped, fans got served ‘Bra Fie’ and ‘11 Six’. ‘Bra Fie’ was a song of assurance from Yhaw to his mom–who hadn’t seen her son in a while, that he would return once he’s made it on the streets. ‘11 Six’ on the other hand, is a song that delves into the struggles of the youth and the bad leadership that plagues our political space. It’s a song that serves as an advocacy and even a protest of the status quo.

The EP has seven songs and one feature from Nigerian star, Jeriq. It shines nonetheless, thanks to its nifty writing and production. “Yours Faithfully” has been gradually climbing the charts since its release with fans and critics already giving it a positive reception.

Yhaw Hero’s “Yours Faithfully” EP is available on all digital streaming platforms globally here: https://azuri.lnk.to/YoursFaithfully
