587773771 746833The family of the beleaguered former Deputy Communications Minister, Victoria Hammah, at Kintampo has called on President John Dramani Mahama to “temper justice with mercy” and reinstate their daughter. According to the family, they were not in any way condoning the alleged unethical behaviour of Ms. Victoria Hammah, or justifying the issues talked about on the said leaked audio recording,, but were pleading with the President to save them from the shock and disappointment the dismissal had brought them.

Madam Akosua Nimo, Grandmother of the beleaguered deputy Communication Minister, disclosed that Vicky Hammah and President Mahama were siblings, explaining that the President’s mother, Abena Kupor, was a direct sister of her (Akosua Nimo). “Victoria is a sister of John Mahama, because Abena Kupor is the mother of John Mahama, who is my sister.” Vicky Grandmother stressed.

Madam Akosua Nimo further indicated that Victoria Hammah, from her childhood, aspired to become a politician and had taken serious actions towards achieving that dream, so her appointment came as a justification and a fulfillment of a dream, which was a joy to the entire family and the people of Kintampo.

She said it was shocking and disappointing when the news came that Victoria had been sacked, due to the alleged audio recording of a friendly conversation she was having with a female friend.

“I have been having sleepless night after the dismissal of my granddaughter, and plead with the President to forgive Victoria and reinstate her, even not at the same ministry,” Madam Nimo said.

Victoria Hammah’s grandmother wept uncontrollably about their granddaughter’s ordeal, saying “My granddaughter loves her party (NDC) very much to do anything to destroy its fortunes, but she was trapped by a traitor, yet to be uncovered.”

A former chief of Kintampo Nwoase, Nana Awiti Kufuor, an uncle of the former deputy Communication Minister, described the dismissal of the niece as shocking and disappointing, appealing to the President to forgive Victoria Hammah and reinstate her, whilst the family took her through series of counselling so that she would not repeat such a mistake.

“It was due to her inexperience that has led her into such an ordeal, and her dismissal could worsen the situation due to her age as a young ambitious lady, therefore, she needs to be counseled by elders of the family,” Nana Awiti Kufuor noted.

Nana Awiti Kufuor indicated that his niece was humble, obedient and respectful, so the incident was surprising to the entire family members and the people of Kintampo, since her appointment was an honour to Kintampo.

Another Uncle of Victoria Hammah, who claims to be an elder of the New Patriotic Party at the Kintampo North Constituency, Nana Kwasi Fei, said his niece was trapped by an insider in the NDC, and unfortunately for her, she fell into the trap and was sacked by the President.

Nana Fei indicated that though Victoria Hammah had erred, she should not be totally crucified by the public, since everybody could be a victim of such a situation, because traitors are hard to identify.

He has, however, humbly called on President Mahama to rescind the decision of sacking Vicky Hammah to save her from double agony, because initially, she was traumatised by the leakage of the recording.

The constituency vice-chairperson of the NDC at Kintampo North, Ohene Adu, a.k.a “Two Paddies”, on behalf of the party at the area, appealed for the reinstatement of Vicky Hammah to put life back in the people of Kintampo, since, according to him, the news of Victoria Hammah’s dismissal had demoralised Kintampo.

Nana Efah Boakro, Kintampo Kyeremankomahene, who had just arrived from a funeral late in the evening, added his voice to the call on the President to reinstate Victoria Hammah or offer her another appointment in this current administration, to restore the satisfaction of Kintampo.

According to Nana Effah Boakro, he was not holding brief for Vicky Hammah, but considered some portions of the audio recording as doubtful, because never would Victoria make such comments, which are injurious to the security of the nation.

He, therefore, called for an urgent interrogation of the audio recording, particularly, in this era of doctored recordings to ascertain the motive and purpose behind the secret recording of Victoria’s conversation.

According to him, there was no smoke without fire, so, definitely, there must be someone behind the whole machination to expose the young ambitious lady.

“I produced most of the biggest hit songs in Ghana last year” – Beatz Vampire claims the crown ahead of TGMA 2024

Beatz Vampire

Showbiz and showboating go hand in hand and Beatz Vampire is sticking to the script. As one of the industry’s most sought-after producers, he confidently declares 2023 his own and believes none of his peers even come close heading into the Telecel Ghana Music Awards 2024.

Despite the prominent awards show just a month away–June 1, Beatz Vampire is already anticipating a clean sweep under its rebranded glory. His gaze is set on one of the night’s most coveted achievements: the “Producer of the Year” award. And with four hits credited to him under three artists in the previous year alone, it is easy to see why he is confidence levels are stratospheric.

Last year, the young producer was all over the place. His work on JZyNO and Lasmid’s ‘Butta My Bread’ was a mega success, bringing over 160M streams across platforms. The song’s popularity on TikTok also got under the skin of artists like Nigeria’s Ruger, who tried to downplay its quality and appeal. Beatz Vampire chased this down with equally catchy tracks like ‘Goodsin,’ ‘Likor’ and ‘I Lied,’ which garnered similar acclaim. 

Indeed, Beatz Vampire has a good chance of winning the award. Since the nominations list dropped, his name has been on the lips of fans who showed their support. The producer chimed in on his fans’ sentiments, saying: “I feel honored even though this was expected. I produced most of the biggest hit songs in Ghana last year, from JZyNO and Lasmid’s ‘Butta My Bread’ to Olivetheboy’s ‘Goodsin,’ Kidi’s ‘Likor’ and ‘I Lied,’ so it’s only right I am handed the award on that night. Big shouts to the rest of the nominees though.”

Of course, Beatz Vampire is no stranger to the hype around prestigious awards. In 2022, he was nominated “Producer of the Year” at the Ghana Music Awards USA and Ghana Music Awards France. His contributions over the years, like Jahmiel’s ‘Beautiful,’ P-Square’s ‘Jaiye,’ Shatta Wale’s ‘Hajia Bintu’ and ‘1 Don,’ Mr Drew’s ‘Mood’ and ‘S3k3,’ Lasmid’s ‘Atele’ and ‘Sika,’ among others, were super hits of their time. But this year in review is a special one. He believes after so many years of missing out, the award is coming home.
