Ghanaian gospel heavy­weight, Empress Gifty is set to thrill thousands at this year’s MTN Stands In Worship event.

The programme brings believers together annually to celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ.

This year’s edition, slated for the Grand Arena on Sunday, April 20, will feature Empress Gifty.

Against this backdrop, the anointed gospel musician has urged all patrons to come with a heart of worship and praise.

She is optimistic that a lot of miracles will happen through the ministration.

“Through our ministrations instant miracles will happen and you are going to have an encoun­ter with God,” she told The Spectator.

Empress Gifty again appealed to patrons not to come alone, but with their families and friends to receive blessings.

Empress Gifty, who had a big song dubbed Watch Me, has been nominated in the Best Traditional Gospel Song of the Year and Gos­pel Artiste of the Year categories at this year’s 26th Telecel Ghana Music Awards.

 New producer, Bella Agyemang, has been hailed by Silverbird Cinemas and other industry players for her Box Office ‘Magic’ over the weekend.

Bella’s ‘Check In’ movie has received praise for being the first to sell at the cinemas this year.

Speaking to The Spectator, Sales and Marketing Lead at Silverbird Cinemas Ghana, Nana Kwame Obiri-Tete said, for a debutant, Bella Agyemang did fantasti­cally well in her maiden premiere.

He said he was proud of Bella Agyemang’s effort in getting people to show up, adding that she engaged in a lot of marketing activities.

He said her marketing activations on the streets, coupled with other Public Relations endeavours, pointed in the right direction.

“With what she has done, it shows that Bella has a big future. You might have a good product, but if you fail to market it, you cannot get people to patronize. Bella put in a lot of work, which is why she was able to draw a lot of people to the premiere,” Obiri-Tetteh said.

Bella Agyemang, on her part, expressed appreciation to fellow actors, her team, media person­alities and all stakeholders who supported her effort ahead of the premiere.

The much-awaited star-studded Ghanaian comedy movie ‘Check-In’ premiered at Silverbird Cinemas on April 12, 2025.

The movie tells a story of chaos and a blackout at a secluded hotel, and amidst these, a resourceful attendant must unravel hidden connections between guests and restore peace before secrets tear them apart.

The movie, produced by Bella Agyemang, featured Kofi Okyere-Darko (KOD), Clem­ento Suarez, Jeneral Ntatia, Priscilla Opoku-Agyeman, Felicia Osei, Gideon Kojo Boakye, Clinton Odoi, Fiifi Jefferson Pratt, and Gabri­el Hogan among others.
