NXT’s Oba Femi is hoping that a WWE Premium Live Event (PLE) can find it’s way to Africa in the near future as WWE has expanded their PLEs beyond North America into countries such as Germany, Scotland, France, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and more.

“I would love to see a PLE in Africa” Femi said during an interview with Scott Johnson on the Going Ringside Podcast. “I feel there is a market there that has been unexplored for years. We have had live shows go to South Africa, but ,it’s much bigger than just South Africa. I feel the entire continent is riding hard for WWE.”

Femi did add that an event in Africa wouldn’t be easy for WWE as there would be potential “culture shock” and a “fear of the unknown” that would in play, among other things. However, Femi believes that the crowd reaction to a WWE PLE event would be incredible.

“Oh my God, I’m talking one of the hottest crowds the company has ever seen” he added. “They would go ballistic for their king [himself], but, they would go ballistic for everything for the product.”

Sony Music Entertainment has reached a deal with Ghanaian-owned music company Crux Global, which provides digital distribution services to local artists, that will provide support artists that are based in Ghana.

Crux Global is best known for their work on the release of Sugarcane (Remix) featuring Camidoh, King Promise, Darkoo, and Mayorkun.

Sony Music says that the partnership comprises three “distinct tiers of support for emerging talent through to established artists”, and their distribution company ‘The Orchard’ is set to handle a ‘Distribution Tier’ that they say  “empowers independent artists in Ghana with the tools and resources needed for global distribution.”

Sony says that a “Full-Service Tier” will provide a “comprehensive full-service to artists under Sony Music Africa” including production, marketing, and distribution.

Additionally, there will be a “Catalogue Music Tier” that Sony says will bring “timeless catalogs” to Streaming Platforms to “ensure the rich musical heritage of renowned Ghanaian artists is preserved and accessible to new generations of music fans”.

“We are excited to partner with Crux to tap into the incredible pool of talent in Ghana,” Sony Music Africa’s Sean Watson said in an official announcement. “This represents a significant step forward in our mission to support artists at every stage of their career and to bring the Ghanaian sound to a global audience.”

“This partnership with Sony Music marks a pivotal moment for the music industry in Ghana” Ike Otoo Arhin, Co-Founder of Crux Global added.

“By combining our local expertise with Sony Music’s global reach, we are confident that we can provide unparalleled opportunities for both emerging and established artists in Ghana” Kofi Kyei, Co-Founder of Crux Global commented.

Nigerian singer Chike Ezekpeazu Osebuka took a whole new approach when dealing with online trolls on social media, specifically a troll he had to deal with on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) – give them a gift.

The only troll had been slamming Chike’s music and saying that he owed his success to the late artist, Mohbad following the release of a video Chike made by commenting – “mohbad made you” leading to a series of exchanges between the two.

While it seemed like anger would prevail, Chike actually ended up offering to send the angry person N1 million to help with his hunger and his lack of success, and actually followed through on the process by sending the money over.

Chike shared a receipt of the transaction stating – “I know say na hunger. Hunger boy, Oya and eat”
