Popular Ghanaian actor and content creator, Jeffrey Nortey, has paid a courtesy call on the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, at the Ga Mantse Palace in Accra, ahead of his highly-anticipated stage event slated for June 14, 2025, at the National Theatre.

The visit, which took place on Wednesday, was to formally invite the King to the event and to seek his wise counsel. Nortey emphasised the significance of the meeting, describing it as an opportunity to draw inspiration and guidance from the Ga monarch as he continues to elevate his creative journey.

In his remarks, Nortey reflected on the growing acclaim for his recent digital performances, particularly the Ga-language skits featuring veteran actress Kalsoume Sinare. These culturally rich and humorous portrayals have not only gone viral on social media but also sparked renewed interest in Ga heritage and storytelling.

“This visit is more than just an invitation. It is a moment of learning and connecting with tradition, which I believe will reflect in my next performance,” Nortey stated.

Speaking on behalf of the Ga Mantse, the Paramount Chief of the Abola Traditional Area, Nii Ahene Nunoo III, applauded Nortey for championing Ga culture through his craft. He assured the actor of the Ga State’s full support and presence at the June event, commending him for using entertainment as a vehicle for cultural preservation.

Jeffrey Nortey’s first major show, 3FacesOfJeffreyNortey, held in December 2023 at Snap Cinemas, was a resounding success. Audiences were captivated by his portrayal of three distinct characters, with the comical and edgy “Dragon” persona becoming a fan favourite.

With his next performance around the corner, expectations are high. Backed by cultural recognition and growing popularity, Jeffrey Nortey is poised to deliver yet another unforgettable experience for fans and first-timers alike.

Ghanaian afro-fusion singer Gyakie has said she wished she had approached some interview questions differently when she first got into the music industry. 

Reflecting on some of her regrets in the industry, she mentioned some answers she gave during the early stages of her career were childish.

“There were certain things I said at some interviews when I was 19-20 years when I came into the industry that I wished I answered the questions in a different way.

If I was at a certain age and I did something, in as much as i didn’t like the way I did it, at that age, that was how my brain was working and I allowed myself be who I was at that time,” she said in an interview with Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz.

She further mentioned hate speech as a similar drawback she faced.

“After ‘Forever’ dropped, I literally opened up, and really allowed the negative comments get to me. I used to read every single comment, following up on the person’s page to know why his comments.

During that forever period, I was always struggling in the studio, looking for what song I’m going to drop that’s going to be the same of that,” she added.

The songstress further shared how she embraced self motivation to sail through those setbacks 

“Now, I will actually make a post and I don’t go through the comment or open up myself for negative comments to get to me.  

“I had to speak to myself to just make the music, if the song is meant to blow up, its going to but so far as it’s good music, just drop it,” she said.
