Here's what trended this week in entertainment

This week in entertainment saw a mix of controversial moments, sad events and significant engagements.

These moments captured the attention of the public and sparked widespread reactions on social media.

Here is what trended this week in entertainment.

DKB’s NDC ad:

Ghanaian comedian DKB came under fire after he posted a series of campaign ads on social media for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The ad sought to explain Mahama’s 24-hour policy. However, it was met with backlash from both NDC and NPP supporters on social media.

The NDC, in response, distanced itself from the ad, leading to DKB taking down the ad and apologising.

Gisela and ‘Obolo’:

Social media influencer and former Miss Malaika contestant Gisela Amposah topped trends on social media over comments she made about her relationship.

Her comments led to mixed reactions on social media, with many trolling her partner.

Serwaa Amihere:

Broadcaster and influencer Serwaa Amihere came on the trends after a video of her being arrested by the police popped up.

Speculations were quickly dispelled when the police issued a statement that she wasn’t arrested and the footage was from a video shoot for gospel musician Piesie Esther.

Bawumia’s meeting with the Creative Arts industry:

On October 16, 2024, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia engaged with Ghana’s arts and tourism industry at the Alisa Hotel in Accra.

The evening featured several memorable moments. Gospel artiste Broda Sammy humorously switched between Twi and English while asking about pension schemes for creatives.

Shatta Wale, focusing on the needs of ghetto youth, discussed government plans for marginalised groups, to which Dr. Bawumia responded in pidgin with his commitment to helping the needy through digital initiatives.

Roman Father, the Vice-Presidential candidate for Akua Donkor's Ghana Freedom Party, humorously asked for future support.

Shatta Wale added excitement by spraying cash on fans as he left in a yellow sports car.

A heartwarming moment was the positive interaction between long-time rivals Shatta Wale and Samini, who were seen smiling and interacting together.

Jacob Adjola:

Gospel musician Jacob Adjola passed away on October 14, 2024, reportedly by suicide. The news left fans and the gospel music community shocked.

You see the DKB practical application of the 24hr economy???

No sensible person will take that as a way of living when technology has made a lot of things easier , paperless and cashless.

After DKB's sleepless night to create a '24-hour economy' skit that he felt was out of this world, this is what the NDC's Communications Bureau, under the auspices of Lawyer Sammy Gyamfi, had to say 😂 pic.twitter.com/FUa0NLBs1r

We know it's just a music video, but Serwaa's timing was really bad.She was aware of the fake circulating arrest but because she and her team wanted clout for the music video , they opted not to say anything.
