EL stirs showbiz with ‘Efa wo ho ben’ video
Multiple award winning Ghanaian rap icon, Elorm Adablah, known in showbiz as EL, has released his latest official music video dubbed “Efa wo ho ben”.
The “Efa wo ho ben” video which translates to mean “does it concern you?|” is a piece of advice to people to mind their own business.
According to EL, the music video was to tease fault-finders with a number of questions relating to their own gossip, and pull-him-down attitude.
He reiterated, there was a moral lesson one could learn from the music video, which was not to gossip or follow hearsay.
“It wasn’t originally decided that the video was to be released in the lockdown period, the release was planned and predated the lockdown,” he explained.
The three minutes 14 seconds music video features over 20 Ghanaian entertainment celebrities adding a rhythmic flow to the video.
Touching on the reason the celebrities were featured, EL said it was because they had a resounding voice among their fans which would help drive the message.
Highlighting on the role of numerous celebrities in the “Efa wo ho ben” video, EL indicated that, it was to convey a message to all those who spread rumours about him.
EL, the founder of VO Nation record label, stated that, “the ridiculousness of seeing celebrities and known personalities rap lines about EL portrays how gossip and hearsay is usually false information”.
The celebrities featured in the video include John Dumelo, Edem, Sister Derby, Nana Aba Anamoah, Ameyaw Debrah, Wanlov among others.
He advised all his fans to stay at home, get creative, pursue and perfect a pastime, read, make use of the free time and pray for a favourable end to the COVID-19.
