Controversial Musician, Emmanuel Owusu-Bonsu popularly known as Wanlov the Kubolor has stated that he is no more granting interviews until President Mahama resigns as the President of the country. 
 
 He said since his interviews on various radio stations will not solve the energy situation Ghanaians have been subjected to, he prefers not to talk on any platform until he sees the president resign from his seat. 
 
Wanlov told Hitz FM Tuesday that there are so many solutions available to the president to get the energy situation curbed but have refused to pay attention to critics, hence his call for his resignation. 
 
 Asked why he is calling for the President’s head, he said “people are always interviewing me on the energy crisis in the country, but it looks like the more we talk about it, the more it gets worse and so I have decided not to say anything about it because nothing seems to be working in this country”. 
 
The musician who is out with his new album dubbed ‘Red Card -233’ explained that the title of his song seeks to get some bigwigs in the country “on their toes and if they refuse to work for mother Ghana, they should be booted out..,” 
 
Wanlov who is also a member of the FOKIN Bois group is an Afro-Gypsy musician who became popular in Ghana’s showbiz industry with his hit song ‘Kokonsa’ and his unique dress code which is the wearing of a skirt/wrapper with no underwear and no footwear. 
 
 He has five children with American, British, Ghanaian, Danish and Japanese women. Aside music, Wanlov made headlines mainly for his eccentricity by showing of his manhood on TV and the release of his naked picture together with his colleague, Mensa.

Over the past few years, many Ghanaians have had to debate over who a
 celebrity is even though there are well defined meanings as to who one 
is. In Ghana, it is quite certain that you become a celebrity just when 
you appear on TV just as controversial musician Wanlov the Kubolor says.
 In his own words. “appear on TV, you be celebrity”. Well, it’s not just
 about the rhyme but what he says in that line. 
 
According to the Oxford dictionary, a celebrity is a “famous person, especially in entertainment
 or sport” but what we do see down here? Well, let me not bother you 
with definitions and the origin of the word as that does not really have
 an impact on my intended piece. 
 
Until joining the showbiz 
fraternity (which I never dreamt of joining though), I was made to 
believe and even thought the very people I saw on TV during live shows, music videos
 and all were super humans just as North Koreans were made to and 
continue to believe about their president in The Interview but years 
down the lane, I realize most popular people (who for purposes of this 
article will refer to as celebrities) are living a life of deceit. (Most
 young dudes still have this mentality though, I mean the one U had 
earlier). 
 
With the advent of social media and the privilege of my 
job as a radio presenter and blogger, I have had the chance to meet with
 so many people and followed people who will out of the dark explain to 
me the difficulty they go through just keep up with public expectations.
 The question is, who forces them? Society? 
 
Well, this is not to 
betray the the ethics of my job but I remember Paedae of Ghanaian music 
group R2Bees coming out clearly to explain how difficult it was/is for 
some artists to make it since Ghana lacked a proper industry. He touched
 on all the flashy things around them that make people feel they are 
indeed making it. Yes, of course, they need to look good for the cameras
 all the time (just to deceive you) but do you have any idea what some 
of these people go through. 
 
On several occasions, celebrities have
 been bashed for repeating outfits to occasions, been forced to donate 
huge sums at functions and all that due to pressure but the reality is, 
do they really live that true life? 
 
Do you know why some of them 
die just like that? Well, it could be because society expects so much 
from them and they are not able to live with it. Anyway, is it 
compulsory to live according to the dictates of society? A question I 
guess would be best answered by these ‘celebrities’. 
 
Well, this is
 just a scratch on the surface of the topic I would to discuss but I get
 lost in my own thoughts anytime I attempt writing this. Maybe, I would 
be writing the whole thing or not but let this inspire you to ask 
questions and hey, the next time you want to get that red carpet 
lifestyle, think twice and remember you may not be able to wear that 
same outfit to any public function again, lol.
