This year’s Rhythms On Da Runway will honour some individuals who have contributed immensely to the advancement of the creative arts in Ghana.
This year’s edition slated for November 30 at the Grand Arena will witness the honouring of prominent people in the space such as Agya Koo Nimo known in private life as Daniel Amponsah who has undoubtedly established himself as Ghana’s foremost exponent of acoustic guitar Highlife and folklore (palm wine music).
Also, Chief Dele Momodu of Ovation fame who has unflinchingly invested and supported Ghanaian creatives would be honoured on the night.
One of the country’s finest voices in Highlife music who has inspired generations with his craft,Kwabena Kwabena will be one of the honourees.
Additionally, she revealed that Bibie Brew a renowned Ghanaian, French international singer who broke boundaries with her impeccable voice will be amongst the recipients on the night.
Speaking at launch on Saturday September 21, Yvonne Ocloo Producer and Creative Director of Rhythms On Da Runway said, “In this spirit I am happy to announce the list of our Black Star Honorees for this year: our very own Kwabena Kwabena, the Icon Agya Koo Nimo, the titan Mr. Dele Momodu and the timeless Bibie Brew for their immeasurable contributions to the creative arts.”
Rhythms On Da Runway since its inception in 2010 has stood as a beacon of unity, fusing the vibrant forces of African fashion and music to exalt the limitless talent that resides on our continent.
From the legendary icons of African music to the rising stars of fashion and design, the event has fiercely showcased the spectrum with pride.
After a show-stopping run on stage, Fiifi Coleman Productions is taking ‘I Told You So’ to the big screen.
This follows a successful roadshow tour across Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and Cape Coast.
The final leg saw Cape Coast come alive on September 4 and 5, as Fiifi Coleman Productions staged a breathtaking rendition of the Bob Cole classic at the Centre for National Culture (CNC).
Patrons showed up in extraordinary numbers, filling the auditorium with energy, laughter, nostalgia and deep cultural pride. Over the two-night run, the production drew more than 2,000 patrons, making the showcase, dubbed The Afahye Experience, one of the most memorable highlights of the festival season.
Speaking to the media in an interview on Monday, September 7, Fiifi Coleman said the adaptation seeks to protect Ghana’s cultural heritage and history.
According to him, the storyline remains relevant in today’s society and the current generation has lessons to learn from it.
“The movie takes you through family responsibility, and who has the right in the family when it comes to marriage, the father or uncle?” he quizzed.
He noted that in recent times families often shelve the need to conduct necessary background checks before marriage, adding that ‘I Told You So’ brings all these issues to the fore.
He also revealed that the feature film would be due for premiere in March 2027 in commemoration of Ghana’s 70th independence celebrations.
The stage production delivered a seamless blend of humour, heritage and contemporary relevance, reminding patrons of the enduring power of Ghanaian theatre to unite communities and celebrate identity.
With its successful run on stage, the team is now taking a bold step to adapt it for cinema.
He expressed his appreciation to all stakeholders for their support in making the project a success.

Miss World Ghana 2026, Rumzia Sule, has returned home after representing Ghana at the Miss World 2026 pageant in Vietnam.
Rumzia arrived at the Accra International Airport on Tuesday, September 8, where she received a warm welcome from members of the Miss Ghana Organisation, her fellow queens and runners-up, family members and well-wishers.
The beauty queen was welcomed with flowers and the Ghana flag as she reunited with loved ones following her international pageant journey.
Rumzia was among 111 national ambassadors who participated in the 2026 Miss World Festival in Vietnam.
The grand finale was held on September 5 in Nha Trang, where Joheirry Mola Dominguez of the Dominican Republic was crowned Miss World 2026. Elisabeth Reynés of Spain was named first runner-up, while Taanusiya Chetty of Malaysia emerged as second runner-up.
Although Ghana did not take the overall crown, Rumzia made the country proud with her strong showing in the Beauty With a Purpose segment. Her sanitation-focused project earned her a place among the Top 6 African finalists in the segment.
Her project has focused on promoting sanitation and encouraging Ghanaians to take responsibility for keeping their communities clean. As part of the project, she joined the President’s clean-up campaign and collaborated with the “Bus Stop Boys” to clean some principal streets in Accra.
She also donated GH¢10,000 to the Bus Stop Boys to support their sanitation efforts as well as victims of the Accra floods in June 2026.
Later in the year, Rumzia is expected to extend the campaign to schools, where she will engage children on the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment.
Rumzia earned the opportunity to represent Ghana internationally after winning the 69th Miss Ghana pageant in July 2026. The competition was held under the theme: ‘Empowering Women, Enduring Legacy.’
