Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian singer, Efya has addressed allegations that she and R2bees frequently spend quality time with Wizkid while he is in Ghana but is never present when he performs abroad.
The problem started when Bullgod, an artist manager, voiced dissatisfaction over the absence of Efya and R2bees from Wizkid’s last performance at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium despite their tight relationship with the Nigerian musician.
Bullgod, owner of Bullhaus Entertainment, was baffled as to why the Ghanaian performers, who frequently spend time with Wizkid when he visits Ghana, were not performing alongside him on the global stage.
“So R2Bees and Efya will smoke, drink and chill with Wizkid anytime he’s in Ghana but can’t join him on international stages and showcase their talents to the world?

The post sparked discussions on radio and television entertainment talk shows, as people questioned the absence of the Ghanaian musicians.
In response to the conversation, Efya took to Twitter to clarify the complexities of musicians’ schedules and commitments.

Efya emphasized that these challenges don’t diminish her dedication or the fact that she has performed on numerous international stages before.
