Jackie Appiah has ‘invited a huge problem’ for herself – Bulldog
Former manager of Shatta Wale, Bulldog, says actress Jackie Appiah has created a big problem for herself because of her decision to allow the public to know how wealthy she is.
According to the artiste manager, the actress’ decision will cause the Ghana Revenue Authority(GRA) to start asking questions about her tax returns.
Bulldog said this while speaking on UTV’s United Showbiz Saturday, 2 July. He said this because, to him, dealing with the tax authorities is not always pleasant.
“I am praying and hoping this professional version is for a commercial reason, because what she has done is unwise. What Jackie has done is not wise. The GRA, they don’t play and that is the culture, that is why people don’t disclose their wealth.
“The GRA doesn’t play in Ghana. If the law hasn’t caught up with you, you’ll think there are no laws. She has {created} a huge problem for herself.”
Bulldog, who is officially known as Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, further pointed out that if the GRA reaches out to the actress, as he expects, “she should find a better reason,” for the authority.
His comments come after the luxurious furnishings in Jackie Appiah’s home was shared on social media by Nigerian actress Luchy Donald. The Nigerian actress and producer was touring Jackie’s house, which is located in Trassaco Valley, located in the prestigious residential area of East Legon.
Jackie’s plush abode has since been a topic on social media as a lot of Ghanaians were overwhelmed and blown away by how well the house was furnished. The house has a smart toilet in it.

Sista Afia keen on winning Highlife Artiste of the Year crown
Ghanaian music diva, Sista Afia is keen on winning the Highlife Artiste of the Year crown.
Sista Afia, the only female nominated in a category with men, had 27 successful shows,both locally and internationally, within the year under review.
This notwithstanding, she believes that the number of music releases coupled with numerous performances across the country and abroad puts her in pole position to win the ultimate.
She is of the belief that as the only female in the category testifies the level of work she put in to be amongst the men.
Sista Afia has therefore urged the board, the academy and the general public to vote for her massively to win the crown.
For the past 10 years, she has poured her heart and soul into preserving and innovating Ghana’s beloved highlife sound, weaving modern rhythms with soulful melodies that keep the genre alive in the hearts of the youth.
While trends have come and gone, Sista Afia stayed true to her roots, giving us timeless music that tells real stories, our stories.
What makes her presence powerful isn’t just her voice or her music; it’s her message. In every note she sings, there’s a quiet defiance. A reminder that women, too, can carry the legacy of highlife.
The 26th TGMA is slated to take place on May 10 at the Grand Arena.
The event will see varied performances and artistes who have distinguished themselves in the year under review rewarded.
