‘The Billionaire’s Wife’ records viewership success on Showmax
The Billionaires Wife started airing in March 2023
Ghanaian Showmax Original ‘The Billionaire’s Wife’ is now the most-watched drama series on Showmax in Ghana. It has been the number one most-watched title on Showmax in Ghana every week since its launch in March 2023.
For producers Danny Adotey and Collins Amlalo, this success is a dream come true, and a sign of even greater things to come.
“It is the dream of every producer to see their work go far and be recognised for their efforts. We are proud to have done this project for Showmax but to hear that it is the most watched title ever on Showmax in Ghana gives us such an unexplainable feeling.
“It makes us forget all the filming challenges we went through to get this done and pushes us further to want to perfect all the minor errors we may have overlooked,” Mr Amlalo said in a press statement.
Lead actor Kingsley Yamoah said he was completely lost when he heard about the viewership success.
“Never has any work I have done permeated my soul and lit it up as ‘The Billionaire’s Wife’ has done. It’s a very humbling feeling to know how appreciative the public is of our work. I believe this will open more doors and create more opportunities from Showmax to actors in Ghana,” he said.
The actor plays the role of a man “no-nonsense” billionaire who inspires fear to the point that everyone around him freezes or scampers when he passes by.
For lead actress Andriana Akua Amegbor, a newcomer in the Ghanaian film and TV industry, the journey has just begun.
“I feel so blessed to have it begin like this. This achievement makes me believe that God is always with me, no matter how alone I feel, because it was at my loneliest hour that I asked for an acting opportunity. And he blew my mind with this project, which Ghanaian viewers are appreciating by watching,” she said.
Amegbor plays the role of a 19-year-old who, after marrying an old billionaire (Yamoah), finds herself locked in an endless battle for survival, where backstabbers, schemers and faceless enemies will stop at nothing to prove she is a fraud and a gold digger.

Ghanaian musician Sparqlyn is set to release another big hit.
His latest release, ‘Rosina,’ features Germany-based Ghanaian musician, video director, and sound engineer TEENO (known privately as Eric Kwame Tamakloe).
TEENO’s project ‘Signs’ was recently accepted by the Grammys for official consideration in the ‘Album of the Year’ category. Now, ‘Rosina’ is making serious waves across the airwaves.
Coming shortly after the impressive reception to his previous single ‘Fameko,’ ‘Rosina’ is already receiving strong attention from music lovers and radio listeners.
This new song carries an infectious Afrobeats and Hiplife feel while maintaining the romantic direction that characterised ‘Fameko,’ Sparqlyn’s 2026 Highlife collaboration with Ziya.
‘Fameko’ marked an important moment in Sparqlyn’s musical journey, with the love-themed highlife record receiving positive reactions from music lovers and media platforms following its June 2026 release.
The song became one of the highlights of his 2026 output, ranking high on multiple charts.
‘Fameko’ has also bagged Sparqlyn two top nominations: “Highlife Song of the Year” and “Artist of the Year” at the 2026 Stars Awards.
The combination of a romantic storyline, Afrobeats rhythm, and Hiplife influence give the song a sound that fits comfortably into the current Ghanaian music landscape.
The timing of the song’s release could also prove significant for the award-winning artiste. Sparqlyn recently secured two nominations at the 2026 Ghana Youth Empowerment Awards, where he is in contention for Youth Empowerment Advocate of the Year and Outstanding Youth Personality of the Year.
With ‘Fameko’ having established strong momentum earlier in the year and ‘Rosina’ now beginning to enjoy significant airplay, Sparqlyn appears to be ending another eventful chapter of his musical career on a high note.

Ghanaian highlife and Afrobeats singer Kuami Eugene Marfo known in showbiz circles as Kuami Eugene has urged fellow musicians and entertainers to use their influence on social media and other platforms to champion causes that positively impact society.
The award-winning artiste made the call during a UNICEF Ghana birth registration advocacy campaign in Bepoase in the Ayensuano District of the Eastern Region, where he joined officials from UNICEF Ghana and the Births and Deaths Registry to raise awareness about the importance of registering children at birth.
He explained that artistes wield significant influence and should leverage platforms such as TikTok, Facebook and Instagram to amplify important social initiatives and encourage behavioural change.
The musician, who has partnered UNICEF Ghana on several child-focused campaigns, said he had a special interest in issues affecting children and was committed to supporting efforts that improved their welfare and future opportunities.
He noted that birth registration was critical because it established a child’s legal identity and ensured recognition as a Ghanaian citizen.
The advocacy drive forms part of UNICEF Ghana’s efforts to improve birth registration rates across the country through community engagements, public education and collaboration with traditional authorities.
The musician said he remained focused on creating quality music while continuing to support social causes that contribute to national development, particularly initiatives aimed at improving the lives of children. –GNA
