An unexpected opportunity for leading sides across Europe to acquire the all-time great presented itself in the summer of 2021, with financial struggles at Camp Nou meaning that Barca were unable to tie the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner to a new contract. Various options were presented to Messi at that time, with Inter making one play for his much sought-after signature, but were unable to compete with the spending power of Paris Saint-Germain and Premier League suitors. Inter vice-president Zanetti has told DAZN of approaching his fellow countryman: “I was surprised when he [Messi] left Barcelona. Realistically, we cannot compete with PSG or Premier League clubs, but due to our rapport, we spoke when there was a chance.” Messi has been linked with Inter at various stages over the course of his career, but the Milan-based outfit have ne

In addition, he questioned why Sarkodie was chosen by Marley’s estate administrators before criticizing the rapper for his lackluster performance. “You’re not the only human being on this planet who adores Bob Marley. You’re not wiser than the managers of his estate. This desecration placard you’re wielding makes you look rather inebriated than concerned. Sark was featured because he’s superb. DEAL WITH IT!”  Anamoah tweeted on February 4. She added in a followup tweet  “…and oh Blakkrasta stop hiding behind your so called claim of ‘desecration’ because it’s hogwash.”

  Ghanaian dancehall musician Stonebwoy made a historic appearance on New York’s Breakfast Club radio show, explaining African music dynamics and the “African men like to control” paradox. During the interview, where the future of African music and others were discussed, the hosts were equally interested in confirming talks about how African men spend on their women.
