ITZ TIFFANY
Tiffany has had her own fair share of scandals as well.

Nevertheless, some close allies of hers rumored that she actually deliberately did expose her nude pictures in the quest for fun.
BULLDOG
Superstars, entertainers, and celebrities are always in the public eye for both good and bad reasons. With the media watching their moves and the spotlight beaming on them, rumors or news of aberrations in their private lives are often sensationalized and sometimes blown out of proportion. When sex is involved, it threatens the victim’s career and everything around them, including their families, friends, sponsors, business associates, and colleagues. Whether it’s in the form of alleged sex tapes as we’ve heard several times, rumored infidelity or extra-marital affairs, the Ghanaian entertainment industry has had its fair share of scandals.
Bulldog had a murder case hanging around his neck, the murder of Kwaw Kese’s manager, Fennec Okyere. He was jailed but later released on bail while the investigation is still going on.
OBINIM
This pastor has had more scandals than most of the so-called “worldly people”. His voice has been caught on tape saying some bad things about his wife to a lady he was cheating with. Obinim is noted for repeating endless chants of ‘halleluiah’, during his television preaching series. He drives very expensive cars and has a couple of houses in Kumasi and Accra. The man of God has over the years been the lead character of several scandals.
CHRISTIANA LOVE AND PASTOR LOVE
Yet another scandal amongst “Christians”. Christians are people that should be living a life worthy of emulation but when scandals are heard amongst them, it becomes kind of weird. Christiana Love and her husband’s divorce was very disturbing and as if that was not enough, they were both spotted on radio ranting like kids and calling each other names. It is said that Christiana Love’s 9 years marriage came to an end because her husband – Pastor Love (man of God) RAPED his wife’s little sister who was staying with them…Gosh!
NASARA
She was the winner of Ghana most beautiful, but this could not stop her from stealing the phone of one of the beauty queens in the UK, what a shame. She has also been accused of using black juju on her rich husband, hoodwinking him into buying series of luxurious gifts for her.
NADIA BUARI
Celebrities are always in the spotlight no matter how much they try to hide. Nadia tried to keep her relationships out of the prying eyes of the press but that didn’t work. After her relationship with Michael Essien flopped, she did not waste any time to jump into bed with an old aged, pot-bellied Nigerian business tycoon.
AGYA KOO
They say money brings out people’s true character, and that was exactly the case with Agya Koo. Kumawood movie brought him into the limelight and he eventually became rich and very famous. Koo had so much influence, then pride and arrogance set in. He broke up with the wife accusing her of stealing, funny enough he was also arrested for illegally trying to take Ghanaians to US, shameful. He was caught displaying his buttocks in a movie.
ANGELA TABIRI
At first, no one actually knew her, all we heard was that she was aspiring to become an actress. All she did to achieve that seemed to have failed which was why she resorted to using this method of showing her breast on the internet, giving us the excuse that she lost her phone and all that.
DEEBA
He made himself famous the wrong way. He was accused of raping a 9 years old daughter of a woman he was dating. A warrant was issued for his arrest and he was seized by authorities in Ghana in January 2013 and was then extradited to the UK, following a lengthy legal fight.
ASEM’S RAPE CASE
Not long past, Asem stormed the Ghana music industry and mesmerized everyone with his exceptional rap skills. Little did we know that the young artist would be invited by the police for interrogation. It was alleged that he drugged, defiled and impregnated a minor in her first year at an Accra-based Senior High School.
