Ghanaian international singing super star Lady Jay was blistering and blazing in her red sizzling outfit last night at the 4syte mansion in Agyiriganor in Accra when she released her latest hot video titled ‘Fire’.

The exclusive release party was attended by special guests, friends of Lady Jay, media and bloggers who described Lady Jay as a super star full of energy and classic in her own world.

Her single “Fire” is inspired by women empowerment and the Black Lives Matter movement.

She was backed by The Gentlemen Band and Flawless Studio Dancers who were marvelous and a delight to watch in another masterpiece act.

According to Lady Jay, she was inspired by anger to produce the music as she feels whites and blacks must be able to co exist in peace, unity and love.

Creative Wael Hakeem of Wahala Entertainment and his team put together the salient video that everyone is talking about. Aside her dancing skills, she went up live and hanged in the air on stage. She enjoyed the feeling to be loved by her fans,

Lady Jay has been resourceful in the African music industry for over a decade and has worked with some of the region's most influential artists including Sarkodie, Efya, BOJ, E.L, and Yaa Pono just to name a few. She is known to be the golden voice of West Africa and is known to have no limits to her talent.

She was signed by Wahala Entertainment in 2018 after she returned from Canada where she studied music business. The company works hand in hand with ditto music and since then released five singles and music videos which influenced a new generation of listeners.

She has also done her first virtual concert and is working on her famous live music concert “Magic Dream” held at the exotic Zen Garden.

Her next project is entitled “This is Africa” and she says it is an anthem to all Africans and very close to her heart.

“This is Africa” is set for release later this year and is going to be the biggest project both Wahala Entertainment and Lady Jay have ever worked on.

Ghana Premier League side Legon Cities FC have completed the signing of Matthew Anim-Cudjoe from Division One League side Young Apostles on the transfer deadline day.

Officials of Legon Cities FC reached an agreement with Young Apostles FC over his acquisition after his loan spell at Asante Kotoko expired months ago.

Anim Cudjoe joined Asante Kotoko on a six-month loan deal from the Division One League side during the last transfer window but the Porcupine Warriors failed to sign him on permanent basis.

The 16-year-old rose to become one of the most exciting players in the truncated 2019/20 Ghana Premier League season with dazzling display in the shirt of the Reds.

His mind-boggling performance attracted interest from several clubs in Europe including Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona.

He underwent a two-week trial at German Bundesliga club Bayern Munich in February.

Anim Cudjoe scored one goal in his six game outings for the Porcupine Warriors in the truncated 2019/20 Ghana Premier League season.

He was a member of the Black Satellites squad that represented Ghana U20 at the 2019 Africa Games held in Morocco.

Anim Cudjoe was scouted during the premier edition of the Baby Jet Invitational tournament in 2018 (organized by former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan) where he emerged the best player and top scorer of the tournament.
