Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, the former First Lady of Ghana, passed away in Accra at the age of 76.

According to family reports, she died in the Ridge Hospital in Accra early on Thursday, October 23.

Neither the Rawlings family nor government officials have yet to issue an official statement.

The late former president Jerry John Rawlings’ wife, Nana Konadu, was a well-known politician and a strong supporter of women’s rights.

After serving as First Lady from 1979 to 2001, she was the first woman in Ghanaian history to run for president in 2016.

Ghanaians are grieving the loss of one of the country’s most powerful women, and tributes are starting to come in from all over the country.

We anticipate more information soon.

Ghanaian music superstar Stonebwoy and Mary Spio, a deep space engineer, tech innovator, entrepreneur, and founder of CEEK, will be honoured by Howard University.

Stonebwoy is being honoured for his pioneering role in globalizing African music, his cultural authenticity, and his unique influence.

His recognition aligns with the event’s mission to elevate Black and African diaspora voices in the music industry, reflecting Howard University’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through its music business programs.

Mary Spio, on the other hand, is also being honoured for her endearing contribution to Black excellence and the music industry.

The ceremony, which takes place at the Blackburn Center Gallery Lounge at Howard University in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, October 23, 2025, forms a part of the activities listed for the 2025 Howard University Homecoming Takeover.

The event is put together by the Warner Music/Blavatnik Center for Music Business with support from Warner Music Group, 300 Entertainment, and Atlantic Records.

Multiple award winning hitmaker DJ Azonto has sent a strong warning to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, expressing displeasure over how Nigerian artistes have started using his popular street term “Attassa.”

According to the Fa No Fom hitmaker, artistes including Davido, Chief Cubana, Wizkid, Yemi Alade, Burna Boy, Asake, Portable, VeryDarkMan, and even Genevieve Nnaji have used his terms without his consent.

DJ Azonto urged President Tinubu to instruct Nigeria’s Creative Arts Minister to make sure all Nigerian musicians and entertainers stay away from “Attassa.” A term coined from his name “Arthur” and frequently used to “Ta” from nursery making him known in school as “Attassa”.

“Nigeria and Ghana are one, I don’t see why they can’t call me as a brother before using my term. President Tinubu must warn the Creative Arts Minister to make sure no artiste uses “Attassa” again before I take legal actions”, he stated.

Despite his frustration, DJ Azonto expressed deep admiration for Tinubu’s leadership, saying his respect for the President is why he has not taken harsher actions. He further suggested that Tinubu could compensate him by renaming “Banana Island to Attassa Island” or renaming Lagos airport after him.

DJ Azonto has warned Sarkodie and others already over the term “Attassa” and says any Nigerian who uses it without his permission will pay $100 million.

Donald Trump has filed a $15 billion lawsuit against the New York Times for defamation and libel, alleging the publication caused him reputational damage.

According to Reuters, the president sued the New York Times, four of its reporters, and publisher Penguin Random House in documents filed on Monday in a U.S. district court in Florida.

Reuters reports that Trump cites a series of New York Times articles in the suit, including an editorial from before the 2024 election that said he was unfit for the presidency, as well as a book Penguin published last year with the title “Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success.”

“Defendants maliciously published the Book and the Articles knowing that these publications were filled with repugnant distortions and fabrications about President Trump,” the filing states, according to Reuters.

The New York Times and Penguin did not immediately respond to Variety’s request for comment.

The president took to Truth Social Monday night to announce the move.

“Today, I have the Great Honour of bringing a $15 Billion Dollar Defamation and Libel Lawsuit against The New York Times, one of the worst and most degenerate newspapers in the History of our Country, becoming a virtual ‘mouthpiece’ for the Radical Left Democrat Party,” he wrote.

“I view it as the single largest illegal Campaign contribution, EVER. Their Endorsement of Kamala Harris was actually put dead center on the front page of The New York Times, something heretofore UNHEARD OF!”

Trump went on to accuse the Times of lying for “decades” about himself, his “family, business, the America First Movement, MAGA and our Nation as a whole.”

He also boasted about his “successful” lawsuits against “60 Minutes” and ABC, which he claimed “knew they were falsely ‘smearing’ me through a highly sophisticated system of document and visual alteration.”

He concluded, “The New York Times has been allowed to freely lie, smear, and defame me for far too long, and that stops, NOW! The suit is being brought in the Great State of Florida. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

As noted by the president, this is not the first time he’s gone after a major news organization in court. In July, Paramount paid a $16 million settlement to the Trump administration for a lawsuit against “60 Minutes” as its $8 billion merger was awaiting final approval from the FCC. The media giant had previously slammed the litigation as “meritless.”

Popular Ghanaian actor, musician, and comedian Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lil Win, once again showed his compassionate side during a recent visit to the bustling Adum Market in Kumasi. The visit, which was part of a promotional tour for the premiere of his much-anticipated movie, Captain Ibrahim Traore (The Last African Hero), turned unexpectedly emotional after a tragic incident involving a local yam seller.

The market visit was meant to generate excitement and connect with fans ahead of the movie’s official release.
However, the celebration came to a pause when news spread that a yam seller had lost her daily sales and some personal money in the crowd.

The woman, identified only as Beatrice Kankam, was in tears after discovering that her bag containing over GH₵2,000 — proceeds from her day’s sales and capital — had gone missing amidst the excitement.

Touched by her distress, Lil Win did not hesitate to offer help. In a gesture that drew applause and admiration from onlookers, the actor personally gifted the distraught woman a sum of GH₵3,000 in cash, helping to restore her lost capital.
“I came here to spread joy and promote something meaningful to our people — a story about African pride. I didn’t expect something like this to happen, but when I saw the woman’s pain, I knew I had to act,” Lil Win said.

The emotional moment was captured on video and has since gone viral on social media, with fans praising the actor for his humility and generosity.

Lil Win’s new film, Captain Ibrahim Traore (The Last African Hero), is a tribute to the young and fearless Burkinabè leader, and promises to offer a powerful cinematic narrative about African strength, sacrifice, and resistance against oppression.

The premiere is set to take place at the Kumasi SG Mall Cinema this weekend and will feature appearances by several Ghanaian and international high profiled personalities.

Many Ghanaians are already commending Lil Win not just for his creativity in filmmaking, but also for using his platform to uplift and support ordinary people.
