EL stirs showbiz with ‘Efa wo ho ben’ video
Multiple award winning Ghanaian rap icon, Elorm Adablah, known in showbiz as EL, has released his latest official music video dubbed “Efa wo ho ben”.
The “Efa wo ho ben” video which translates to mean “does it concern you?|” is a piece of advice to people to mind their own business.
According to EL, the music video was to tease fault-finders with a number of questions relating to their own gossip, and pull-him-down attitude.
He reiterated, there was a moral lesson one could learn from the music video, which was not to gossip or follow hearsay.
“It wasn’t originally decided that the video was to be released in the lockdown period, the release was planned and predated the lockdown,” he explained.
The three minutes 14 seconds music video features over 20 Ghanaian entertainment celebrities adding a rhythmic flow to the video.
Touching on the reason the celebrities were featured, EL said it was because they had a resounding voice among their fans which would help drive the message.
Highlighting on the role of numerous celebrities in the “Efa wo ho ben” video, EL indicated that, it was to convey a message to all those who spread rumours about him.
EL, the founder of VO Nation record label, stated that, “the ridiculousness of seeing celebrities and known personalities rap lines about EL portrays how gossip and hearsay is usually false information”.
The celebrities featured in the video include John Dumelo, Edem, Sister Derby, Nana Aba Anamoah, Ameyaw Debrah, Wanlov among others.
He advised all his fans to stay at home, get creative, pursue and perfect a pastime, read, make use of the free time and pray for a favourable end to the COVID-19.

Renowned Ghanaian music heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has dedicated her seven awards won in 2025 to President John Dramani Mahama.
The musician and her management, led by Edem Mensah-Tsotorme, together with her husband, Mr Hopeson Adorye, called on the President at the Jubilee House on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
Empress Gifty, in her remarks, said the visit was to officially congratulate the President, who has been a father figure for her for many years, and also update him on successes chalked in her career.
She thanked the President for his guidance over the years and promised to even do better in the years ahead, as she prepares to release her new song for the year.
The gospel musician also appealed to President Mahama to consider building a large seating auditorium for the creative arts industry.
She appealed to the President for a 10,000 to 30,000 large seating auditorium to improve the fortunes of the creative sector when it comes to events in the country.
This, she said, would go a long way to help the sector flourish and position the country for other international events in the future.
Additionally, she urged the President to ensure the creative sector gets substantial allocation in the next budget.
The President, on his part, thanked Empress Gifty, who he calls his daughter, and the team for the visit, expressing how proud he was of her growth.
Again, he charged her to continuously work even harder for more laurels.
President Mahama pledged his commitment to the growth of the creative arts industry, adding that with regard to a large seating auditorium for the space, he has received some designs and suggestions for a convention centre which are under consideration.
According to him, once suggestions were approved and issues of funding are addressed, this would serve a multipurpose function and host many activities throughout the year.
The President further pledged his unflinching support for the creative arts sector and assured of budgetary support in the years ahead.
