Fantana has been engaged in a beef with her label mate, Wendy Shay, in the past few days with each of them throwing jabs on social media. It will be recalled that Fantana recently described Wendy Shay as a local champion during an interview on GHOne TV. Fantana, while making a point about female artistes in Ghana, chose Efya, Becca, and Wiyaala as the most prestigious female music stars with international recognition. She described Wendy Shay and the rest of the ladies as local champions explaining that all their exploits are only known in Ghana. Wendy Shay who was offended by the statement came on social media to jab her label mate by asking her to make hit tracks with her big teeth instead of news headlines. Fantana then came up with a swift reply in which she described Wendy Shay as ugly and likened her to man. She later went on Instagram live to throw more punches and even stated that she did not want any songs from RuffTown again. This triggered a response from Bullet who summoned Fantana to a meeting on Monday, May 18, 2020, to ostensibly talk about her future with the label. But from all indications, the meeting did not come as Fantana failed to show up. Instead of attending the meeting, she decided to watch movies at home. As if to taunt Bullet Fantana shared a photo on Monday evening to indicate that she did not step out of her house. The photo has Fantana showing her living room and TV to show amovieplaying on the screen.

Ayisi teams up with Fameye for Highlife classic “Sika”
In a follow-up to his successful collaboration with Worlasi on “Everyday People,” Ayisi has once again partnered with prolific songwriter Fameye for a timeless highlife track titled “Sika,” which translates to “Money.”
This track is expected to make waves across Ghana and beyond, as it speaks to the universal pursuit of financial stability in a meaningful, melodious way.
Money, as Ayisi rightly points out, is a universal and never-ending topic of discussion. In “Sika,” both artists reflect on the role money plays in life and the lengths one must go to secure it.
Ayisi emphasizes a strong work ethic, noting that laziness will only lead to hunger and hardship. His message is clear: one must take action and pursue financial stability to navigate life successfully.
On the other hand, Fameye’s verse focuses on the idea of self-reliance when it comes to wealth. He highlights that becoming wealthy is something he must achieve on his own, without waiting for handouts or relying on others.
Fameye’s perspective complements Ayisi’s, creating a well-rounded narrative about ambition, responsibility, and financial independence.
“Sika,” produced by GroovyWrld, is deeply rooted in the classic highlife sound—a genre that has long been a cornerstone of Ghanaian music. The soulful melodies make it an instant classic that evokes a sense of nostalgia, while the contemporary twist keeps it fresh for today’s audience.
Ayisi, widely respected for his independent spirit and unique musical style, has typically preferred working alone, cultivating his own space in the industry. However, his recent collaborations signal a new chapter in his career, one that is more collaborative and expansive.
Through these collaborations, Ayisi is not only broadening his creative horizons but also offering his fans new and exciting musical experiences.
With “Sika,” Ayisi and Fameye remind us that while money may not be everything, the drive to earn and sustain oneself is essential to success.
