In a resounding celebration of music, rhythm, and the artistry of the turntable, the Guinness Ghana DJ Awards PUB FEST is currently sweeping across the nation, and this year, it’s putting a special focus on the incredible talents of female DJs.

Following triumphant events in Sunyani, where Gyal Dem DJ dazzled the audience, and Winneba, where DJ Phinaj stole the show, the PUB FEST train is now heading to Tamale, where DJ MJ is set to take the center stage.

Fuelled by Smirnoff, is more than just a party—it’s a platform dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the remarkable talents of DJs across Ghana.

At the heart of this dynamic musical landscape are the DJs, the unsung heroes who curate the soundtrack of our lives. 

PUB FEST is an homage to these talents, uniting the nation through the magic of music and dance.

Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Val­lecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.

Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.

However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
