Ghana’s dancehall megastar Shatta Wale has officially endorsed fast-rising artist April Delight following her explosive TikTok performance of her new single “Supremacy.” The emerging songstress has quickly gained attention for her fierce delivery and stage command, drawing direct comparisons to Shatta Wale himself.

The buzz began when April Delight posted a video of herself performing “Supremacy,” showcasing her dynamic energy and lyrical prowess. The clip quickly went viral, with fans flooding the comments section, dubbing her the “female version of Shatta Wale” and tagging the dancehall king.

The moment took a major turn when Shatta Wale responded to the post, leaving fire emojis () in the comments—a clear sign of his approval. Known for his selective endorsements, Shatta’s acknowledgment has instantly boosted April Delight’s credibility in Ghana’s competitive music industry.

April’s “Supremacy” carries the same bold, unapologetic energy that defines Shatta Wale’s music, making the comparison inevitable. Industry observers now speculate whether this co-sign could lead to future collaborations or mentorship from the dancehall icon.

With “Supremacy” gaining momentum across streaming platforms and social media, April Delight is positioning herself as a formidable new voice in Ghanaian dancehall. Shatta Wale’s endorsement may well be the catalyst that propels her into the mainstream spotlight.

Jerry Kwodwo Nuvi, a name echoing through the corridors of gospel music, has spent years crafting melodies behind the scenes. Born and raised in the vibrant coastal city of Takoradi, Ghana, Jerry’s roots are deep in rhythm and soul. From a young age, his voice was his gift, and music his calling.

Starting out as a humble backing vocalist in church choirs and local bands, Jerry’s ear for harmony and unmatched discipline soon caught the attention of top gospel acts. His journey took a monumental turn when he joined Selina Boateng Music, not only as a vocalist but rising through dedication to become the production manager. With Selina Boateng, one of Ghana’s gospel powerhouses, Jerry became a vital force behind some of the most soul-stirring performances and albums to bless African gospel.

Over the years, Jerry traveled across the African continent—Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Côte d’Ivoire, and more—lending his voice and managing performances that touched hearts and stirred worship. His presence on stage, though often in the background, carried a power that audiences felt deeply.

Now, in 2025, a new chapter is unfolding for Jerry. He has been officially contracted to join the London Encounter Concert slated for 27th July 2025, a major gospel event bringing together voices from all corners of the globe. This opportunity is more than just another concert; it’s a recognition of years of faith, consistency, and excellence.

For Jerry, this isn’t just about singing—it’s about ministry, impact, and representing Ghana and Africa on a global stage. As he prepares to take on London, those who know his story smile with pride. From Takoradi to the world, Jerry Kwodwo Nuvi’s harmony is just beginning to echo in even greater places.

Gospel singer Maa Fausty has released a brand-new song titled “Magyenkwa Yesu”, a soulful track that celebrates Jesus Christ as our Savior. With her powerful vocals, Maa Fausty shares a message of hope and inspiration, reminding listeners of the love and redemption that Jesus brings.

The production of “Magyenkwa Yesu” was skillfully handled by Dan Bassey, who brought the song to life with his expert touch. The result is a beautiful and uplifting track that showcases Maa Fausty’s talent and dedication to spreading the message of God’s love.

“Magyenkwa Yesu” is now available for streaming and download, and fans of Maa Fausty can experience the joy and inspiration of her music. With this new song, Maa Fausty continues to share her gift with the world, bringing people closer to God through her music.
