<p>In an interview with Taller Dee on No.1 FM’s Journey to Heaven programme, the singer highlighted the positive effects of sexual intimacy, particularly within marriage.</p>

<p><em>"Sex is medicinal. It’s medicine," </em>Selina stated, adding that doctors often <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/god-doesnt-arrange-marriages-choose-right-and-dont-blame-god-selina-boateng/q13b2d9">inquire about sexual activity during health check-ups.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p><em>"Sometimes when you report being sick to the hospital, the doctor asks if you’ve had sex. Yes, I’ve been asked that before."</em></p>

<p>The Alpha and Omega hitmaker further explained that sexual activity releases hormones that promote well-being. According to her, intimate acts like "smooching" can help relieve stress-related<a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/i-went-through-depression-in-us-after-childbirth-selina-boateng-on-weight-gain-and/nkdnshb"> issues such as headaches and depression.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p><em>"It can relax your mind in such a beautiful way. It is part of the biological process. God made it so,"</em> she noted.</p>

<p>The gospel music star stressed that sex is a vital aspect of human life that should not be overlooked. <em>"Sex is indispensable and cannot be taken out of the human experience," </em>she said, advocating for its importance in marriage. She was, however, clear about her stance on premarital sex, stating that it is immoral and against biblical teachings.</p>

<p><em>"If you’re married, you have every right to use sex… If you’re not married, it is immoral to do it. It is not against the Bible when you’re married,"</em> she emphasised.</p>

<p>While encouraging married couples to freely share intimacy, Selina advised against public displays of sexual acts, citing respect for public decency. </p>

<p>She also revealed that, when possible,<a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/selina-boateng-shares-impact-of-hitting-the-gym-says-i-can-perform-for-2-hours/9z806k6"> she uses sex to relax after performances.</a></p>

You will see me on TikTok sweeping in front of Vybz Kartel's gate. I will become his servant at his house." </em></p>

<p>He also criticised some Ghanaian musicians for celebrating Vybz Kartel's release despite not speaking about him on any platform before his new freedom.</p>

<p>Shatta Wale explained that he was the only Ghanaian musician who truly supported the artiste throughout the years and had learned many things from him.</p>

<p>After 13 years behind bars, renowned dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, has been released <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/music/new-music-mavado-i-aint-going-back-broke-remix-feat-ace-hood-future-and-vybz-kartel/v8scms4">from the Tower Street Adult Correctional Centre in Kingston. </a></p>

<p>Effective today, January 31, 2024, any song under the Universal Music Group label may no longer be accessible on the widely used video-sharing platform. Existing videos featuring UMG's music are now at risk of being either muted or removed.</p>

<p>The rift between TikTok and UMG stems from their inability to strike a new deal regarding the compensation for the use of UMG's music on the platform.</p>

<p>In a statement, Universal decided to pull its entire song catalog from TikTok, citing three critical issues:</p>

<ol><li>Compensation dispute: UMG demands appropriate compensation for its artists and songwriters.</li><li>AI impact on artists: Concerns about protecting human artists from the potentially harmful effects of artificial intelligence (AI).</li><li>Online safety: Ensuring the safety of TikTok's users.</li></ol>

<p>According to the statement, UMG alleged that TikTok is not paying a fair value for its music and accused the platform of attempting to build a music-based business without adequately compensating artists and songwriters.</p>

<p>UMG further accused TikTok of bullying and intimidating them into accepting an unfavorable deal and not respecting their copyright. They highlight that TikTok contributes only about 1% to their total revenue, underscoring the minimal compensation the platform provides for its extensive music library.</p>

<p>In response, TikTok vehemently denied UMG's allegations, expressing disappointment at UMG for prioritizing greed over the interests of artists and songwriters. TikTok argued that it has reached artist-first agreements with every other label and publisher, and UMG's actions are not in the best interests of the artists, songwriters, and fans.</p>

<p>TikTok also defended its role as a free promotional and discovery vehicle for UMG's talent, emphasizing its billion-strong user base that supports and loves music.</p>

<p>The loss of access to UMG’s content library is likely a major setback for TikTok content creators, including Stonebwoy and other African artiste's fans, who are now facing limited music options on TikTok.</p>

<p>They risk missing out on viral trends and challenges associated with UMG's songs, such as "Apotheke" and "Into the Future." Favorite videos featuring UMG's music may also be muted or deleted from TikTok, leaving the digital content creation community grappling with the fallout of this high-profile compensation dispute.</p>

<p>UMG is the largest record label in the world with a stable  number of international and African artists.</p>

<p>Below are the list of African artists whose songs are about to disappear from TikTok as clock stops on Universal Music deal renewal;</p>

<ol><li>Stonebwoy - Ghana</li><li>Youssou N'Dour - Senegal</li><li>Mr Eazi - Nigeria</li><li>Yemi Alade - Nigeria</li><li>Sauti Sol - Kenya</li><li>DJ Arafat -  Côte d'Ivoire</li><li>Toofan- Togo</li><li>Locko - Cameroon</li><li>Tenor - Cameroon</li><li>Charlotte Dipanda</li><li>Mink's - Cameroon</li><li>Magasco - Cameroon</li><li>Pit Baccardi - Cameroon</li><li>Mimie - Cameroon</li><li>Kiff No Beat - Côte d'Ivoire</li><li>WurlD - Nigeria</li><li>Vanessa Mdee - Tanzanian</li><li>Tekno&nbsp;- Nigeria</li><li>Nasty C - South Africa</li><li>SZA - South Africa</li><li>Rophnan Nuri Muzeyin - Ethiopian musician</li></ol>

Sad news for African content creators, especially fans of Stonebwoy and other African musicians, as Universal Music Group(UMG) will stop licensing its music library to TikTok after both companies failed to reach an agreement over several issues.

<p>In a recent Facebook post, the artist behind "I Know My Level" accused some musicians of influencing their followers with a spirit of jealousy and sadness. </p>

<p>Shatta Wale asserted that certain artists have successfully transmitted their spirit of jealousy to their supporters, who then adopt the enemies of their favorite artists.</p>

<p>In a post shared via Facebook on Sunday, January 28, 2024, Shatta Wale stated, <em>"When I express myself and witness these sorrowful fans commenting under posts, I feel sorry for them because spiritually, their favorites have passed on the spirit of sadness and jealousy to them, and they carry it wherever they go."</em></p>

<p>The candid artist didn't hold back, suggesting that some fans are negatively impacted by their idols, resulting in them carrying a sense of jealousy wherever they go. </p>

<p>In a light-hearted manner, he added,<em> "It’s not my fault your favorite artist isn't as wealthy as me, bro... I am self-made, and your favorite is like a product from China 🤣🤣 sorry 🙏, it hurts 🥲🥲 They've brainwashed you, oh 🤣🤣🤣."</em></p>

<p>To him, the jealousy will not help Ghana’s poor industry.</p>

<p>Additionally, Alan claimed the title for the longest baking marathon (individual) with a time of 47 hours and 21 minutes, exceeding the previous record of 31 hours and 16 minutes held by Wendy Sandner from the USA.</p>

<p>Impressively, Alan took on both challenges consecutively, spending over 160 hours in the kitchen with just a little over a day of rest in between the two record-breaking attempts.</p>

Chef Hilda Baci has extended her congratulations to Irish Chef Alan Fisher, who recently achieved the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.

'I’m happy to have held a record so prestigious' - Hilda Baci congratulates Alan Fisher

<p>The Guinness World Records (GWR) officially confirmed this change, naming Alan Fisher as the new record holder.</p>

<p><em>“Alan Fisher (Ireland), an owner and chef of a restaurant in Japan, has broken two cooking-related Guinness World Records titles,” the statement read.</em></p>

<p><em>“First up, he’s claimed the longest cooking marathon (individual) after clocking in a time of 119 hours 57 minutes. That is more than 24 hours longer than the previous record held by Nigerian chef Hilda Baci.</em></p>

<p><em>“Alan then claimed the longest baking marathon (individual), with a time of 47 hours 21 minutes. The previous record holder was Wendy Sandner (USA) with a time of 31 hours 16 minutes.</em></p>

<p><em>“What’s even more impressive is that Alan took on both attempts back to back, meaning he was at work in the kitchen for over 160 hours with just over a day of rest in between!”</em></p>

<p>However, Alan Fisher's achievements have now earned him these prestigious titles from the Guinness World Records. </p>

<p>Hilda Baci's record-breaking attempt involved cooking continuously for several days, producing over 100 pots of food. Although her original goal was to reach 100 hours, a deduction was made from her total time due to a minor error regarding one of her rest breaks.</p>

<p>According to him, he accidentally entered the music scene. </p>

<p>In an interview with media personality Angela Lee, Mr Eazi&nbsp;described how he stumbled into the music industry and his internal struggle with fulfillment as a musician, which led him to contemplate giving up on music after performing at Coachella in 2019.</p>

<p>Mr. Eazi, who also identifies as the owner of Zagadat Capital, an IT business, admitted that he faced a point in his career when he felt disenchanted, even though he had the opportunity to perform at Coachella only three years into his music journey. </p>

<p><em>"Coachella’s opening day was the first time I performed there, and when I exited the stage, I felt nothing. Absent joy. no melancholy."</em></p>

<p>He said:<em>“For someone who never aspired to be an artist, I’m performing Coachella in my third year of my career, and I feel nothing.</em></p>

<p><em>“So, for me, it was a sign that I would either have to stop doing music or find another career. Because I needed to take a break or because it wasn’t a healthy sensation to have. I could have been burned out.</em></p>

<p><em>And when COVID struck, that’s when I first took a moment to reflect and try to plan my next course of action. I had founded Empawa, so I was learning about the music industry.</em></p>

<p><em>But even listening to music was wearing me out. Without music, how can a music industry be operated? So I just delegated that task to my colleagues.”</em></p>

<p>As he contemplated how to operate within a field that was wearing him out, he eventually decided to delegate certain tasks to his colleagues to find a renewed sense of purpose.</p>
