Cars are not assets, don’t do drugs – Kennedy Agyapong advises Medikal
Politician and business mogul Kennedy Agyapong has advised rapper Medikal to stay away from drugs and invest in real estate if he wants to enjoy a better future.
The “Omo Ada” hitmaker met his mentor yesterday during an interview on Oman FM – which is also owned by Kennedy Agyapong.
During the interview, Kennedy told Medikal that if he is into drugs and smoking of cannabis, he should stop and save and invest in real estate.
“Most musicians are into drugs and smoking of cannabis just to get high and hit the stage. It won’t take you anywhere. Be yourself,” Kennedy told Medikal.
He said saving is key for a comfortable life after reaching his peak in the industry.
“What I give to you is savings. Look at the lifestyle of veteran musicians. Whatever money you make, you have to invest. You will live comfortably forever and ever if you invest.”
Kennedy added that cars are not assets but people buy for show-offs. But if he wants to cushion himself for the future, he should take real estate business seriously.
“Most of the new crop of artistes phaseout early so don’t keep up the jounces. When you invest wisely, a day will come, you cast back your mind and see how poorly your colleagues have fared.”
“Although I have a fleet of cars, cars aren’t assets. It’s just for show-offs. If you want to cushion yourself in life, invest in real estates.”

GHANAIAN gospel heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has released a spirit-filled song titled “Sunsum Ndwom.”
The song, which is already making waves shortly after its release, is delivered in three parts, each carrying a powerful message.
The first part reflects on the mystery of Prophet Elijah, where people wondered who he was after he prayed and called down fire from heaven.
The second part centres on salvation, urging believers not to celebrate only power and miracles, but to celebrate the fact that their names are written in the Book of Life, because that is what lasts forever.
The third part celebrates the beauty of God’s healing power, a song originally composed by her late mother.
The gospel star is urging Ghanaians to stream the song on all platforms and encounter its powerful lyrics.
She also stressed the need to preserve Ghana’s traditional gospel sound, expressing hope that the new generation will embrace their heritage.
Empress Gifty further expressed appreciation to all stakeholders in the industry who have supported her career over the years.

GHANAIAN media personality, Joyce Akumaa Dongotey-Padi, affectionately called Akumaa, has marked the 18th anniversary of her Mama Zimbi Foundation (MZF).
The event was held at the Broken Yoke Ministry International at Klagon in Accra.
Thousands of widows who benefited were taken through health education for good living, business enhancement, women empowerment and legal education, among others.
In addition, they were given water, cloth, rice, noodles, oil, Noko Fine Washing Powder and other toiletries.
Mrs Dongotey-Padi noted that there is land earmarked for vocational training and gari processing for those who are unemployed and would want to make ends meet.
Against that backdrop, she expressed appreciation to gospel musician Empress Gifty for supporting her with her Noko Fine Washing Powder and Verna Mineral Water.
According to her, it went a long way to put smiles on the faces of the widows.
Akumaa Mama Zimbi further said that if she looks back on how the journey started 18 years ago, she feels fulfilled in impacting thousands of lives.
According to her, this motivates her to do even more to put smiles on the faces of people.
The Mama Zimbi Foundation is an NGO committed to motivating, empowering and supporting widows and their children, as well as educating adolescents on their sexual and reproductive health.
