I’m no longer close to Prez Akufo Addo; he doesn’t listen to me again – Rev Owusu Bempah cries out
Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah, founder and head of Glorious Word Power Ministries International, disclosed his ties with President Akufo-Addo.
Rev. Owusu Bempah, who foretold President Akufo Addo’s presidency, is one of the president’s spiritual counsellors, interceding on his behalf and advising him on spiritual concerns.
Rev Owusu Bempah told Royal TV he is no longer connected with the president. The prophet stated Ghana’s president has turned away from God.
According to him, the president’s refusal to follow the advice of men of God has led to problems for his administration and the Ghanaian people.
When I was closer to him, things were better, so maybe he no longer listens to God’s voice.
Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah further compared President Akufo-Addo to Saul in the Bible, saying he was Samuel, God’s anointed one. Akufo-Addo was Saul, who defied God and suffered.
Samuel was invited to crown Saul. Poor performance. Saul’s stubbornness caused problems, so Samuel separated himself from him.

Twelve years after it first swept across Ghana’s airwaves, Edem’s classic hit Over Again has staged an extraordinary comeback, re-emerging as one of the most dominant songs in the country and capturing the attention of a new generation of listeners.
Originally released over a decade ago, the record has returned to national prominence, not on the strength of nostalgia alone, but through renewed relevance in today’s digital music ecosystem.
Over Again is currently charting in the Top 100 on Spotify, while also recording strong performances across other major streaming platforms.
The resurgence has been driven largely by social media, where the song has gone viral on TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms. Gen-Z creators and millennials are using the track to soundtrack emotionally driven content—ranging from short skits to deeply personal storytelling videos.
As a result, the song has become a cultural reference point for themes of love, betrayal, heartbreak, and emotional resilience.
The trend has grown so significant that top-tier influencers and several high-profile digital creators have joined in, using Over Again as background music for their videos and further amplifying its reach across the country.
Speaking on the song’s resurgence, Edem expressed excitement about its renewed impact.
“When I created Over Again, I knew the impact it had. I knew how strong the song was back then,” he said. “Seeing it connect again after all these years, especially with a new generation, is very exciting.”
The rapper encouraged his fan base, popularly known as the Go-Getters, to continue engaging with the song and sharing their personal stories through it.
At the core of Over Again is a storyline that remains strikingly relatable. The song explores betrayal among friends, romantic relationships disrupted by close acquaintances, and the emotional aftermath of loving and losing.
These themes have resonated strongly with audiences, many of whom say the narrative still mirrors real-life experiences today.
Consequently, the song is now widely used to tell stories such as losing a partner to a friend, navigating heartbreak after deep emotional investment, and reclaiming personal strength after betrayal.
Interestingly, the trend also includes users who position themselves as the “other person” in such scenarios, reframing the song around accountability, growth, or redemption.
The renewed success of Over Again underscores how music consumption has evolved. In the digital era, a song’s lifespan is no longer confined to its release period.
Social media and streaming platforms have created a level playing field where timeless music can resurface, cross generational boundaries, and regain commercial and cultural relevance.
With Over Again re-entering the charts, ranking among Spotify’s Top 100, and dominating social media trends, Edem’s classic stands as proof that great music does not expire.
Twelve years on, Over Again has not only returned—it is once again at the center of Ghana’s musical conversation.

Veteran Ghanaian musician Ebenezer Asare, popularly known as Slim Buster has cautioned emerging artistes not to accept financial assistance from women.
This he said may lead to emotional and personal obligations that could affect an artiste’s freedom and career decisions.
Speaking in an interview in Accra on Monday, the highlife artiste mentioned that many young musicians without financial backing tend to rely on women for support, a situation he believes could cause future complications.
According to him, accepting financial assistance from women may lead to emotional and personal obligations that could affect an artiste’s freedom and career decisions.
“Most upcoming artistes don’t have money. They depend on some women. When a woman helps you, remember that they will come back for their money,” he said.
Slim Buster advised young talents to be cautious and mindful of the commitments that come with such support.
The musician further warned that abandoning or neglecting these women after achieving success could lead to serious repercussions.
“The very moment you decide to move away from them or neglect them because you’ve made it, they will come for you,” Slim Buster added.
