Our Manifesto: This is what YEN.com.gh believes in

YEN.com.gh brings you some of the controversial and famous beefs which were witnessed in 2019.

1. Obofour and Obinim: Celebrities pastors Reverend Obofour and Bishop Daniel Obinim had several disagreements in 2019.

The two spiritual leaders of their churches mostly used their pulpit on Sundays to respond to each other and trade insults.

This beef went on for a while with even a junior pastor of Anointed Palace Chapel (APC) jumping ship for Obinim's International God's Way Church.

Obinim had stated that he is an “Angel”, while also claiming he was the spiritual father of Obofour.

Obofour also contested Obinim’s claim of being an 'angel'. According to him, Obinim’s claim is fake, insisting he, Obofour, is the original angel of God.

2. Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy: Ghanaian Dancehall acts, Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale have been at each other's throats for some time now.

Their beef spans from who is the best at what they do, who has got more money and also mocking the body features of each other among others.

Their beef escalated to its peak when both fans of Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy engaged in a standoff on the stage of the 2019 VGMAs which led to Stonebwoy pulling out a gun in an attempt to defend himself.

The two finally called a truce and even held a peace conference to settle their differences.

The response which was quickly posted on Eugene Osafo Nkansah's Instagram page did not go down well with Yvonne Nelson who literally cursed him saying, "The dumb Charles in kokonsah's post, you are cursed for life! Mark my words! Never bring my baby (daughter) into anything negative! God punish you! I've given you all the publicity you want! Enjoy it."

But Eugene Osafo Nkansah 's wife, Victoria Lebene jumped to her husband's defence by throwing a subtle jab at Yvonne Nelson.

"If we all decide to be opinion leaders, then we should be ready to receive other opinions, regardless of the sensitivity. People's opinions cannot be controlled, that's the sad part," Victoria Lebene posted on her Instagram page.

Yvonne Nelson who lost her cool over Victoria Lebene's post, attacked her marriage and future children saying; "Bunch of losers! Y’all are pathetic. Someone is supporting her hubby for posting a diss, don't worry. You’ll get pregnant/or is already pregnant, I pray you get treated with respect, and hope no one disrespects your baby. I pray your marriage lasts too."

7. Archipalago and Patapaa: Swedru-based artiste Patapaa Amisty also beefed Instagram vlogger, Achipalago.

Patapaa, in an interview, jabbed Achipalago, insisting his single titled “Me Gye” is a trashy song that only contained noise.

He said, for someone who usually criticised other artistes, he expected Achipalago to come out with something better.

Achipalago hit back in an Instagram post, describing Patapaa as "kwasia banku” for rubbishing his song.

The pair had a go at each other for some time before their beef came to an end.
