In case you didn’t know there's an internal conflict going on! No -it's not that Black people VS n!ggas blog again! I mean the race is on amongst my Ghanaian tribe to be the first Gā superstar. It has to be said, the Ashantis are and have been leading in this stakes for too long. This Osei Tutu challey gets all kinds of props when he goes abroad that no Gā king equals. The fact that there’s fewer of us is in my opinion is a reason–but not good enough. I believe (and any Ghanaian can correct me here) that the closest we’ve come is Marcel Desailly. World Cup Winner Marcel Desailly you say nodding your head at my decent suggestion. But hold on I hear you say he won the world cup with France! You’d be right! This leaves Tinny (If you don’t know who Tinny is slap yourself once and youtube Cadbury’s Zingola ad…NOW.) and possibly Lethal B whose real surname ‘Ansah’ might qualify him as a Gā but that’s to be confirmed.
The market is wide open so enough with the Masai marathon runners and Yoruba 419ers –The Gā superstar is imminent...“What about you Gbontwi?!” I hear you say now, or are you shouting? Well, look out for books and movies being released near you written by me but a superstar? No. As I’ve written before all I need is a Cedi more than I can spend.
No, the superstar [to be] of whom I speak is none other than Leeds based player who’s rate of hustle may surpass even my own. Let me introduce you to him: ‘Nii’.
Nii-Singer, actor. He can do other things...probably, but it’s the singing and acting that will make him a star and the other things are frankly neither my business or yours. Nii is a Ga name that mean ‘Prince’, ‘King’ or ‘lord’ depending on you ask so you know that. So however you put it Nii is not only a superstar in waiting but established royalty already! I tend to measure a singer’s ability by the amount and calibre of women they attract and the only other king singer I’ve heard of was King David of bible fame and he pulled ALL SORTS of women so we all mustknow what to expect from Nii.
I haven’t met Nii yet but I’ve heard his work and LIKE it. If he’s like me then to hear his work his work is to know the man. As a fellow Prince, King or Lord I’m going to help him film his first music video this Sunday. Look out for me in the video or video outtakes. I’ll be the tall Gā with big eyes, a VIP (very innocuous playa) lanyard and with my arms wrapped around some music video girls. It’s fitting enough on the weekend Ghanaians celebrate the anniversary of the better known kind of revolution –mostly waged in Accra, the city the Gā built!
To check out his music and get bounced around his Facebook and myspace pages check out his website: http://www.q-nii.co.uk/
On top of the singing string to his bow Nii recently landed and filmed a role in a soap opera so Nii just got national exposure. Get involved in the movement. So, again: http://www.q-nii.co.uk/
