Mimi Andani calls Naana Blu ungrateful
Ghanaian musician and C.E.O of Golden Movie Awards, Mimi Andani Micheals has labelled her former signee and fast-rising Ghanaian artiste, Naana Blu as “ungrateful.”
Mimi Andani who was a panellist on ShowTime With McBrown on Onua TV, claimed that her record label had done a favour for artistes like Naana Blue and six others by signing them and investing significant resources in their grooming and development.
Andani Micheals revealed that she had started her own record label, The Darling’s Record Label, with the intention of nurturing and grooming talented artists.
“I hope you know I started a record label, the darling’s record label, I had 6 artistes that I was grooming, and I groomed them for about one to two years. My concept was different. I wanted to groom them for live band, how to speak on set, how to dress before bringing them out, two years,” she recounted.
However, the former music artiste and record label boss accused Naana Blu of breaking their contract and leaving the label for another opportunity without properly ending their agreement.
“One of them was Naana Blu if you heard the rift between us. She’s still my artiste but she’s somewhere else. The reason why I stopped is because of Naana Blu. Because of her ungratefulness all the other 5, I stopped grooming them. She broke the contract,” she alleged.
She also claimed to have unreleased music videos and songs amounting to almost an EP (extended play) from Naana Blu that remain in her possession.
“She went somewhere else without ending my contract and I have three videos unreleased, I have songs that’s almost an EP,” she added.
Mimi Andani explaining her reason for not pursuing legal action against Naana Blu said that Naana Blue was a child who would have been destroyed if she took the matter to court.
According to Andani, she had extended a favour to Naana Blu after being moved by her story and wanting to help her pursue a music career.
“I didn’t pursue it legally because she’s a child,” she emphasized “It was a favour I did for her, I decided to listen to her story and I was touched so I wanted to start something with her. I didn’t want to take advantage of her because she was a young girl”
Mimi Andani’s statements also served as a response to Mr. Drew, who recently left Kaywa’s High Spiritual Music record label.
Countering Mr. Drew’s assertion, she argued that a producer signing an artist is a favour done to the artiste as there were numerous artistes to choose from and work with.
“I spent over 200k cedis grooming and recording videos, she left them in the middle to the new place she is, I am making this point to counter Mr Drew’s earlier submission that a producer signing you is not a favour. It even takes the favour of God for someone to pick you over all the others, so I don’t agree with him,” she finally added.
Mimi Andani’s statements have moved many to express interest in hearing Naana Blu’s side of the story.
As the situation unfolds, 3XTRA will closely monitor any developments and reactions from Naana Blu.

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
