HKR Manuel Drops Juls Inspired Single “Palmwine”

Rising Ghanaian singer HKR Manuel today unveils his captivating new single, “Palmwine.” This
soulful Afro-Fusion track draws inspiration from the intoxicating feeling of deep obsession or
love, where the lines of reality beautifully blur.
It captures that sweet, heady rush where love
feels like a powerful, delightful drug, and you willingly lose yourself in the experience.
“Palmwine” holds a unique origin story. In December 2023, HKR Manuel entered a beat contest
judged by industry stalwarts Appietus, Altra Nova, and Juls. While some judges appreciated his
beat despite its raw mix, Juls was unequivocally unenthusiastic, leading to HKR Manuel’s
elimination. “At the time, I was crushed,” HKR Manuel admits, “But looking back, that moment lit
something in me.”
A couple of years later, during a lighthearted conversation with his friend Khxnbeats, the
memory resurfaced. HKR Manuel playfully declared, “Watch me make a beat better than Juls
ever has and call it Palmwine.” The name itself is a playful nod to Juls’s well-known “Palmwine
Diaries” project. Leaning into the same highlife-inspired fusion that Juls has mastered, HKR
Manuel crafted the beat and recorded the vocals, realizing he had created something deeply
personal and resonant.
“Funny enough, I’m genuinely thankful to Juls now,” he shares. “That moment pushed me.
Without it, this record wouldn’t exist.” HKR Manuel is an up-and-coming artist from Ghana,
known for blending Afrobeats, Hip-Hop, and Alternative sounds to forge a unique sonic identity.
With a deep passion for storytelling through music, he delivers raw, emotive performances that
connect profoundly with his audience. His artistry is driven by authenticity, innovation, and a
relentless desire to push the boundaries of contemporary African music.
“Palmwine” is more than just a song; it’s a testament to artistic resilience and the transformative
power of a challenge.

King Paluta Featured In 2025 BECE Creative Arts Paper

The popular musician, whose real name is Thomas Adjei Wireko, made it into Section B of the Music and Creative Arts paper of the examination.
In question 4(c) of the paper, students were asked to identify two important social issues addressed in King Paluta’s hit song “Aseda.”
The inclusion of King Paluta in a national examination appears to signal a growing recognition of his works beyond entertainment but rather delve into social commentary.
It also affirms how relevant his music is in the academic and cultural landscape of Ghana.
This appears to be a personal achievement for King Paluta but also a sign that contemporary Ghanaian musicians are shaping minds, influencing narratives, and making lasting contributions to society.
After the paper surfaced online, his fans have taken to social media to celebrate him and praise him for using his craft to inspire and educate.

Porsha Williams’ Ex Simon Guobadia Released From ICE Detention, Deported Back To Nigeria

Porsha Williams’ estranged husband, Simon Guobadia, has been released from ICE custody and deported back to his home country, Nigeria, after spending months at a detention centre, according to Us Weekly.
According to the website, Guobadia’s friend and business partner, Tai Savet, reports that the Nigeria-born businessman was sent on a flight back home a couple of days ago.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security website no longer lists Guobadia as being in their system.
Savet said Guobadia, 61, was in “good spirits” after a tough experience at the detention centre, which was the first time he had ever been behind bars.
Back in February, Williams’ ex was taken to the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, about two hours outside of Atlanta, as part of the government’s mass deportation efforts.
Guobadia moved to the United States in 1982 but reportedly overstayed his visa. He left the country but came back and overstayed his visa a second time, according to a local report.
WSB-TV reported Guobadia was deported in 1992 but was granted permanent residency status the same year when he used an “undisclosed identity.”
He attempted to gain citizenship over the years but was shut down each time.
Williams, 43, filed for divorce from Guobadia in February 2024, following 15 months of marriage.
The exes went back and forth for months over Williams’ request for exclusive use of their marital home.
The judge sided with Williams and ordered that she could live in the home until a final decision is reached in the divorce.
The exes are set to face off at a divorce hearing later this week, with Guobadia being allowed to appear via video due to his deportation.
The reality star and her ex are fighting over the prenuptial agreement they signed before they walked down the aisle on November 25, 2022.
The hearing has been postponed several times, partly due to Guobadia’s detention.
After he was taken into custody, Guobadia asked for the hearing to be postponed to allow him time to attend.
His lawyer argued, “The motion to enforce the prenuptial agreement is a substantive motion that requires findings of fact by this court. The outcome of the motion will also have a substantial effect on how the remainder of the divorce case proceeds, as it may be dispositive of some of the issues and result in litigation on others.”
The judge granted Guobadia’s motion and rescheduled the hearing for June 11.
The order instructed ICE agents to transport Guobadia to the hearing if he was not released.
For her part, Williams filed a motion requesting permission to attend the hearing via video.
The RHOA star’s lawyer told the court, “[Williams] is a well-known reality television personality, a career in which last-minute travel and unexpected opportunities frequently arise.”
He continued, “[Williams] shows that this employment opportunity would help [Williams] offset the numerous financial obligations that [Guobadia] has failed to maintain under the Temporary Order, as well as to offset the significant legal expenses [Williams] has already incurred in pursuing enforcement of the parties’ Prenuptial Agreement and defending herself against [Guobadia] as it relates to the instant divorce action.”
“[Williams] shows that her request for virtual appearance is made in good faith and reflects a balancing of her professional obligations and the serious nature of these proceedings, not a desire to delay or further complicate the instant litigation,” the reality star’s attorney argued.
The judge has yet to rule.
