Global Movement WAHANGELA KINGDOM Set for Historic Launch and Royal Crowning in Ghana
A new chapter in the global Pan-African movement is set to unfold in Ghana as the WahAngela Kingdom prepares to officially launch its international initiative aimed at restoring the intellectual, spiritual, and humanitarian greatness of Africa and its descendants.

The historic launch, scheduled for March 26, 2026, will introduce the Kingdom’s mission, leadership framework, and its broader vision of uniting Africans and the diaspora through leadership, culture, and humanitarian development.
Founded and led by Waheed A. Musah and Angela L. Harris, the WahAngela Kingdom describes its leadership as a symbolic alignment of Oneness, Messenger, and Purpose, designed to inspire a new wave of transformative leadership across Africa and the global Black community.
According to the organisers, the launch event will also unveil details of the EMERGE US Humanity International Conference, a global forum expected to bring together thought leaders, cultural advocates, spiritual leaders, and development partners from across the world to discuss Africa’s future and the role of the diaspora in shaping it.
As part of its long-term vision, the Kingdom has also announced plans for a Royal Crowning Ceremony scheduled for June 12, 2026, which will serve as a public affirmation of its leadership and its commitment to advancing a renewed Pan-African consciousness.
The movement is also inviting leaders, innovators, and cultural ambassadors from around the world to join “The B.L.A.C.K. Kings & Queens Worldwide,” a global network dedicated to promoting unity, empowerment, and strategic collaboration among Africans and people of African descent.

The event will feature cultural and musical performances to celebrate African heritage and identity. Renowned Pan-Africanist, Global Peace Ambassador, and musician Ras Caleb Appiah-Levi, who is also the Founding President of PanAfrica-Ghana, will perform at both the launch and crowning ceremonies alongside gospel minister Minister Rebecca.

Organisers say the events are expected to attract dignitaries, scholars, cultural leaders, and members of the African diaspora who share a common vision of Africa’s rebirth and global relevance.
The WahAngela Kingdom says its mission goes beyond ceremonial leadership, positioning itself as a global movement committed to fostering peace, intellectual growth, cultural pride, and humanitarian development across Africa and the diaspora.
For further information, interested participants and partners are encouraged to contact the WahAngela Kingdom at +233-591-023-739.

Shatta Wale hints at contesting Ablekuma South seat as independent candidate in 2028
Ghanaian dancehall star Shatta Wale has opened up about the possibility of venturing into politics, revealing that he may consider running for office as an independent parliamentary candidate if there is significant public demand ahead of the 2028 elections.
He said this during an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen talk show with OB. Government name, Charles Nii Armah Jnr., said he does not intend to affiliate with any political party should he decide to enter the political arena.
According to him, his interest in politics would be driven by a desire to serve the people rather than by personal wealth. He disclosed that if the opportunity arises, he would consider contesting the parliamentary seat for Ablekuma South as an independent candidate.
“If the people push me to go into politics, I will consider it. I won’t do it because I’m rich, but because I want to serve the people. I would contest the Ablekuma South seat, but I won’t join any political party. I would prefer to run as an independent candidate if the calls become stronger by 2028,” he said.
Shatta Wale also spoke about his strong attachment to Ghana, explaining that his love for the country is one of the reasons he continues to live here despite opportunities to travel or relocate abroad.
He noted that traveling outside the country can be quite costly for him, which makes him more comfortable staying in Ghana.
“I love Ghana so much. Anytime someone asks me to travel abroad, I feel a bit uneasy because I end up spending more money there. Life outside is expensive,” he explained.
The musician added that living in Ghana allows him to enjoy a level of freedom that he values.
“In Ghana, I feel free. Sometimes I go to certain places and I’m able to walk around without any problem,” he said.
He also urged Ghanaians to cultivate a positive mindset, emphasizing that a constructive outlook can drive meaningful change in society.
“If you keep a positive mindset, you can influence change in many ways,” he added.

Legendary musician Sloppy Mike Gyamfi Accuses Kuami Eugene of Song Theft
Legendary Highlife musician Sloppy Mike Gyamfi has accused fellow Highlife artiste Kuami Eugene of using his song without authorization.
According to the veteran musician, Kuami Eugene performed his song word for word and uploaded it on YouTube without seeking permission from him. He explained that although the younger artiste sang the song well and added some flavour to it, he did not contact him beforehand to seek clearance.
Speaking on the flagship Ekwanso Dwoodwoo drive time show on Okay FM with host Nana Romeo, Sloppy Mike Gyamfi said he was surprised when he heard the rendition of his song Asem Kakra Bi online.
“Kuami Eugene has taken my song. Visit his YouTube platform; he did it very well.
He sang the song so nicely, and I was awed when I heard it. Just Google Asem Kakra Bi and you’ll find it. He did a very good job on the song though. But Kuami never spoke to me about the song. It’s not like he sampled it or took some parts of it; he sang it word for word,” he said.
When asked by Nana Romeo whether Kuami Eugene was supposed to seek permission before using the song, the veteran musician responded that the right procedure would have been to request clearance.
However, Sloppy Mike Gyamfi indicated that he does not hold any personal grudge against the Angela hitmaker, describing him as someone he sees as a son.
“I won’t fault him that much. He’s like my son, so if he admires my work and uses it, I have no problem with it,” he noted.
Despite his forgiving stance, the veteran musician maintained that proper respect and due process should have been followed.
He added that although Kuami Eugene may know his work, the artiste has never personally introduced himself to him.
“I have forgiven him, but if someday he introduces himself to me, I will be happy. He should bring me my portion of the earnings. Not giving me even a penny is not right,” he added.
