African Gospel Giant, Daniel Jeddman to present the world “a beautiful gift” from his new song, “SACRIFICE” on 15th September 2023. Mixed and mastered by Kaywa Beats
“Focus on your journey with passion, determination and happiness. See, Abel did nothing but hatred from his brother for nothing”… declares Jeddman in one of his hot lines (lyrics) in the song.
“The message is pretty simple. We seem to be in a world of hatred, jealously, backbiting and backstabbing instead of loving each other, supporting each other and focusing on our journeys with passion, determination and happiness.”, Jeddman reemphasized.
Jeddman rightly said God gave him the song to bridge the gap between believers and unbelievers. “It’s a song for everyone, there’s no special group of people to consume it. God is love for all and at times, His message comes for all.”
He further explained the song is inspired in the First book of Moses, Genesis 4:1-16. Where Cain lured and killed his younger twin brother Abel because of envy and jealousy of his (Abel’s) sacrifice to the LORD.

Big Brother Naija ‘All-Stars’ winner, Ilebaye Odiniya, has announced her intention to pay a tithe of N12 million to God from the N120 million she won from the reality TV show.
She made this known on Monday during an interview with Clout Africa’s ‘Getting Personal with Ex BBN All-Stars Housemate’ where she garnered attention and praise from fans and the public alike.
Ilebaye while responding to questions from fans said, “Well I’m not going to buy anything, the first thing I’m going to do is to give my tithe to God to thank Him for this grace he has given me. It’s a very good grace.”
llebaye – BBNaija, Winner
She added that she won because she was destined to win this year.
“I won because I was destined to win this year. This is my time; this is my grace and my fans also added to my winning because they supported me. They loved me, they had sleepless nights voting for me, all day all night Baye tribe. So yes, and God. I played the game and I won.”
Tithing is a practice deeply rooted in many religious beliefs, where individuals pledge a portion of their earnings, typically one-tenth, to their religious institution or cause.
Tithing one-tenth of one’s income is found in Leviticus 27:30: “’A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord.”
llebaye’s journey to stardom began when she first made an appearance in the ‘Level Up’ season of BBNaija in 202. After weeks of intense competition and public voting, she emerged as the winner of the ‘All Stars’ edition, securing the grand prize of N120 million.
The ‘GenZ Baddie’ chose to allocate a significant portion of the money won towards tithing.
Ilebaye’s decision to tithe has sparked reactions among fans, with some commending the reality TV star for her generosity and faith while others have suggested she should take it to Orphanage homes
Resigned sanitation minister, Cecilia Abena Dapaah has begged with the high court to compel the OSP to unfreeze her bank accounts.
According to her, the action by the OSP has brought her undue hardship and stress as she’s rendered broke.
The Office Of The Special Prosecutor (OSP’s) action is part of an ongoing corruption and corruption-related investigation of the minister.
Then on September 11, 2023, the OSP applied for confirmation of the freezing and seizure of a total of GH¢2.83 million, and the case was scheduled to be heard on October 18, 2023.
Unhappy with the scheduled October 18 date for the hearing of the case, Dapaah stated in her affidavit that the case should be heard on October 11, 2023.

Hip-hop could be seemly a man’s world, but women have been there from the start.
The infamous Bronx party that gave birth to the genre was organised by Cindy Campbell, a high school student who was trying to raise money for her back-to-school clothes. It was Cindy who wrote invitations on index cards and invited her brother Clive, aka DJ Kool Herc, to play the music.
Before long, former R&B singer Sylvia Robinson co-founded the world’s first hip-hop label, Sugar Hill Records. Alongside landmark singles like Rapper’s Delight, she also released one of the first all-female rap records, Funk You Up by The Sequence (featuring a then-unknown Angie Stone).
But as the genre became mainstream, pioneers like Roxanne Shanté, Kool Lady Rock and MC Sha-Rock were overshadowed by their male counterparts. The dawn of gangsta rap in the early 1990s turned hip-hop into even more of a boys club.
As the genre turns 50, a new three-part BBC documentary aims to correct the record.
Narrated by Neneh Cherry, First Ladies of Hip-Hopacknowledges the contributions of artists like Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Rah Digga and Lil Kim, while highlighting a new generation – Ice Spice, Little Simz, Doja Cat – at the forefront of rap innovation.
Among them is Philadelphia-born rapper Eve, the street-tough MC who emerged as part of the Ruff Ryders posse, and went on to score major crossover hits like Who’s That Girl? and Let Me Blow Ya Mind.
We asked her to choose five women who had changed the course of hip-hop. Here’s what she said:
1) Queen Latifah
Queen Latifah wasn’t the first female rapper, but she was the first to become a star. With a no-nonsense, straight-talking style that emphasised feminine power and Afrocentric consciousness, her hits included U.N.I.T.Y, Ladies First and Mama Gave Birth To The Soul Children.
Words have always been something that I’ve loved. From the time I was eight years old, I would always write poems. And that obviously turned into rapping. Rhythm and poetry – that’s what rap is.
Queen Latifah, MC Lyte and Salt-N-Pepa – those were the women who showed me I can do this. Any time I saw them, I felt “yeah, that could be me”.
But I always felt a particular closeness to Queen Latifah, maybe because she’s from Jersey and I’m from Philly, but also because I was a tomboy when I was young. I saw that toughness in her, too: she stands strong in her womanhood, but she also hangs with the boys.
And lyrically, she’s amazing. She talks about her pride in being a black woman and about female unity: let’s stand together, we don’t have to be competitive, let’s celebrate each other.
She had such a presence. Her career has been a blueprint for me, in terms of longevity and versatility.
2) Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill proved her rap credentials on Fugees tracks like Vocab and How Many Mics, but it was the uplifting blend of hip-hop, soul and reggae on her solo debut The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill that cemented her legacy. To this day, she remains the only female rapper to win the Grammy for Album of the Year.
I love her to death. The Fugees as a whole were amazing, but having Lauryn there took them to higher heights, for sure.
She rapped about things outside the normal, [subjects like] heartbreak and resisting peer pressure, and for a lot of us coming up with Lauryn, we felt like she was a big sister, pulling us to one side and going “hey, girl, watch out, you shouldn’t be doing this” or “don’t be scared of this person”. She was teaching us how to be a woman – letting us in on game, a little bit.
She had a very different style, a different cadence. It was almost jazzy, in a way. I refer to it as “backpack hip-hop”, you know? The Fugees, The Roots, A Tribe Called Quest – they ride the beat in a different way.
I kind of fought against that kind of style, because I was a battle rapper. And because I went up against dudes all the time, it was very ego driven: “Hey, you still live with your mom and you’re broke and you don’t have a car and you’re not well endowed.”
But Lauryn was different. She educated us.
3) Missy Elliott
Innovative, individual, incomparable – Missy Elliott changed the sound of hip-hop forever, with her alien beats and larger-than-life music videos. Hits like Get Ur Freak On and Work It were often imitated, but never bettered, with Missy branding her competition “beat biters”.
Missy took us into that pop world, that crossover world. Everything was bigger and brighter and bolder. She brought a theatrical element to hip-hop in her presentation and her videos.
And what I love about Missy is that, because she had a hand in writing so many R&B songs, she’s very melodic in the way that she rhymes – whereas, before her, that really wasn’t done.
She also stood up for herself. Lines like, “Copywritten, so don’t copy me / Y’all do it sloppily” – I love that, because men say that stuff all the time, but Missy was as cocky as they were. And she was right. She was original and she knew it.
We worked together several times. The Hot Boyz remix was my first foray into that world, and she sang the theme tune to my TV show. The times that we had in the studio, she’d be like “this is what I’m thinking, here’s what the track sounds like, I’ll let you be”. She’s not a micromanager. She’s more like “you do your thing, and I’ll see you after”.
She’s always been an incredible friend and supporter, and someone I could count on in the industry.
4) Nicki Minaj
One of the fiercest wordsmiths on the planet, Nicki Minaj burst on to the scene with 2010’s Pink Friday, at a time when female MCs were missing from mainstream hip-hop. Since then, she’s scored 133 hits on the Billboard chart, including Starships, Anaconda and Super Freaky Girl.
Her wordplay is incredible. She’s just a great lyricist and no-one can take her on. Anything I’ve ever heard her on, like that guest verse on Kanye’s Monster, she’s murdered it.
She’s also very smart about the industry – knowing what’s coming and capturing the moment. She’s done a great job building her fanbase, the Barbz, and knowing where that generation was going.
Being a female rapper, or even a female pop star, it’s easy to get put into a box – and sometimes you have to do drastic things to break out of that box.
I think both Nicki and Doja Cat, who I’m a big fan of, are really pushing to be the artists they want to be, and that’s dope.
5) Leikeili47
The elusive, Brooklyn-based rapper Leikeili47 keeps her identity hidden under a ski mask, ensuring the focus remains on her dextrous, quotable lyrics.
I was watching the HBO drama Vinyl and this song came on that I didn’t recognise. I was like “wait, who does this?” so I Shazam-ed it, and went into this Leikeili47 deep-dive. I never looked back.
If you are a hip-hop head who’s drawn to lyrics, and wants to hear a good story and feel something, she’s amazing.
She doesn’t reveal her identity, she just lets the bars speak for themselves. I would say she’s an all-round perfect MC… I just need her to release more music!
