Apologize to the youth of Ghana – MzbeL fires Tracey Boakye
Ace Ghanaian music diva, MzbeL known in private life as Belinda Nana Ekua Amoah, has called out Tracey Boakye, to apologise to the youth of Ghana for fake motivational messages.
According to MzbeL, Tracey had always paraded herself as self-made entrepreneur enjoying the success of her hard work.
However, according to MzbeL, in Tracey’s recent outburst which was targeted at her, the latter exposed herself by revealing she sleeps with men for her riches.
MzbeL said by Tracey’s own words, she had deceived many youths with her usual motivational messages which projected her to be a successful entrepreneur.
The veteran musician in a Facebook live video added that Tracey does not practise what she preaches but rather sleeps with men to attain all the wealth.
For this reason, MzbeL has charged Tracey to apologise to the youth of the country for misleading them with her wealth.
Tracey Boakye released several videos on Wednesday raining insults on her rival MzbeL for allegedly warming the bed of her sugar Daddy,
“I have warned him (sugar daddy) to quit buying you stuff. He is mine now and there’s nothing you can do about it,” Tracey revealed.
The ongoing misunderstanding between actress Tracey Boakye and female veteran musician MzbeL seems not to end any time soon as both uncover more hidden secrets about each other.

Veteran Ghanaian actor, Fred Amugi, has been cast in the upcoming Pan-African television series, Kismet, where he will play the role of Chief Ademola, a wealthy and influential Yoruba patriarch.
The series, set for production in Abuja and other parts of Nigeria, brings together a diverse cast ensemble from Ghana, Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, South Africa, Cameroon, Kenya, and the United States.
A statement copied to the GNA in Accra said “It forms part of a broader effort to strengthen collaboration within Africa’s creative industry while positioning African stories for global audiences.”
Speaking on his involvement, Fred Nii Amugi, whose acting career spans more than four decades, described the role as a meaningful milestone.
“It is a proud moment for me at this stage of my career to be part of a Pan-African series,” he said.
“Playing a Yoruba character as a Ghanaian reflects something deeper about who we are as Africans. It reminds us that we are one people, connected beyond borders,” he indicated.
He added that his preparation for the role went beyond performance.
“As a Ghanaian of Ga heritage, I am taking time to study the historical and cultural links between the Ga and Yoruba people.
“I am learning about these connections so I can represent the character with truth and respect.”
“It is important that the world sees the shared identity that exists across our continent,” he noted.
Kismet is being developed as a high-quality thriller series with a Pan-African perspective, drawing talent from across the continent and the diaspora.
According to Nana Dwomoh-Doyen Benjamin, President of the African Chamber of Content Producers and production advisor for the project, the series represents the united image of Africa that is capable of contributing to the global creative economy.
“As part of building a Pan-African creative economy, Kismet is a call for Africans to come together and tell our stories as one people.
“We are also aligning this effort with the opportunities presented by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to create a strong continental market for African content,” he underlined.
The producer of the series, Paul Joegad, emphasised the global ambition behind the project.
Based in the United States, Joegad noted that the production was designed to meet international standards while maintaining authentic African storytelling.
“We are leveraging diaspora networks and global experience to create a series that resonates across cultures,” he said.
“Our goal is to produce content that can stand on international platforms through quality and strong storytelling.”
He added that assembling the right team had been central to the project’s vision. Among those involved is Mawuko Kuadzi, a Casting Society of America (CSA) member and the first African to win an Artios Award in its 40-year history.
The producers say the series seeks to position Africa as a major player in global content, fostering international Pan-African partnerships. –GNA
