At the recently held Classic Awards 2025, Kojo Lap took home the prestigious Best Collaboration of the Year award for his powerful single “On God” featuring award-winning rapper King Paluta.
The recognition comes as no surprise to many music lovers and industry watchers who have followed Kojo Lap’s growth.

Under this new management, Kojo Lap has released his first single titled “Party Hard”, a vibrant and energetic track that celebrates life, joy, and youthful freedom.

The song blends Afrobeat rhythms with party anthems, creating a feel-good sound that’s perfect for clubs, events, and weekend playlists. With its catchy hook and infectious beat, “Party Hard” is quickly gaining attention as a potential hit.
Promoter Koolic, Kojo Lap’s current manager and a respected entertainment executive known for his work with several successful artists, expressed his pride and excitement over Kojo’s recent award and progress.
> “Kojo Lap winning Best Collaboration of the Year is not just a personal victory it’s a win for every hardworking artist out there. ‘On God’ was released under his former label, and it was a powerful project. But now, under BossLadyB Records, we’re building something even bigger. The release of ‘Party Hard’ marks a fresh beginning. This new chapter is about pushing boundaries, expanding the brand, and delivering more quality music to fans.”
Promoter Koolic, who also heads Brainstorm Promotions, emphasized that the team is committed to professional growth, branding, and strategic promotion that will solidify Kojo Lap’s place in the music industry.

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.

DeEye: Ghana’s All-Seeing Voice Leading The Next Wave Of Afrobeats

In the ever-evolving soundscape of Afrobeats, DeEye is emerging as one of its most soulful and visionary new voices. Hailing from the vibrant and often misunderstood streets of Tema Community 1, DeEye channels lived experience, spiritual depth, and raw musicality into every note.

“DeEye means All-Seeing Wisdom — a name given to me by God through the whispering of the Holy Spirit,” the artist shares. “I don’t just sing. I reveal, I reflect, I awaken.”

Born Sadat, DeEye describes his sound as a fusion of Afrobeat, soul, and conscious storytelling — music that speaks to the heart and mind. Influenced by legends like Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, and Kendrick Lamar, he uses rhythm and lyricism to explore identity, struggle, spirituality, and joy.

“My songwriting begins with a feeling — sometimes a beat, sometimes silence. I don’t chase hits. I chase honesty,” he explains. “I write like I’m speaking directly to someone who needs to hear the truth.”

Growing up in Tema, a place known both for its challenges and cultural richness, heavily shaped DeEye’s artistic path. “That environment made me,” he says. “It showed me both the dark and the divine. I reflect both in my art.”

DeEye’s music is intentionally Afrocentric yet globally resonant. He blends traditional rhythms, languages, and proverbs with modern sonic elements — not as a gimmick, but as a cultural mission.

“African culture is the heartbeat of my sound,” he says. “I’m not here to copy trends — I’m here to build legacies. I want the world to see our truth and feel our soul.”

With each release, he invites listeners on a journey — whether it’s through themes of love, survival, spiritual awakening, or personal growth.

His latest project, still under wraps, is described as “a mirror of quiet battles and bold beauty,” drawing from real-life conversations and internal reflections. “It’s not just music,” he says, “it’s medicine.”

Offstage, DeEye is introspective and grounded. “Most people don’t know I’m actually quiet. I observe more than I speak. Music is where I shout,” he laughs. A lover of storytelling, he also dreams of exploring filmmaking one day.

His perfect studio vibe? “Low lights, incense, real people, no pressure — just pure energy. That’s when the magic happens.”

Looking ahead, DeEye envisions international collaborations with purpose-driven artists like Burna Boy or Kendrick Lamar, and dreams of performing on stages from Accra to New York.

“In five years, I see myself as a global voice that still feels local. Rooted, but reaching.”

When people listen to DeEye’ music, he wants them to feel seen, heard, and healed.

“If someone tells me a song helped them feel understood or gave them strength, that means more to me than numbers. My music is a mirror — for the soul, for the culture, for the journey.”

With his blend of authenticity, spirituality, and sonic finesse, DeEye isn’t just riding the Afrobeats wave — he’s helping shape its future.
