Oheneba Boamah Bennie, Radio presenter
Ghanaian reggae artiste and radio personality, Blakk Rasta, has criticised broadcaster and known National Democratic Congress (NDC) sympathizer, Oheneba Boamah Bennie, over the latter’s recent comments suggesting he is open to working for opposition-aligned media if the money is right.
Blakk Rasta described Oheneba as a “disgrace to journalism,” accusing him of abandoning professional integrity for personal gain.
“My brother Oheneba, you are a shame to broadcasting, a huge disgrace to journalism. He is not even ashamed of what he’s saying,” Blakk Rasta fumed on his radio segment on June 30, 2025.
“He’s a stomach journalist, interested in nothing but money.”
According to Blakk Rasta, Oheneba lacks journalistic principles and credibility, supporting any agenda that benefits him financially. “This guy is the Judas of radio,” he added.
The uproar comes after Oheneba Boamah, during a passionate monologue on TV XYZ, voiced disappointment over what he described as neglect from the ruling National Democratic Congress, a party he has publicly supported and defended for years.
He claimed that despite his loyalty, he has been left struggling financially.
“As long as I am a media personality, I am like a football player,” Oheneba argued. “If I play in your team and I’m not happy, I will go to another team your opponent and take good money.”
He openly declared that he would consider offers from opposition-aligned media houses such as Wontumi TV/Radio or Asaase Radio if the financial terms are favourable.
“I have a wife and kids to feed. So, one day, if Asaase Radio or Wontumi TV gives me a good deal, I will leave TV XYZ with alacrity,” he said.
Oheneba questioned how long he is expected to remain loyal when he receives little support in return.
“If I work to make you happy and go home to eat gari with my wife, that’s not a life. Living is when I return home and my family is happy too,” he said.
