Sierra Leone Producer Nashito Kulala Surprises Fans with Public Praise for Rap Legend Kao Denero

In a surprising and heartfelt message, Sierra Leonean music producer and sound engineer Joseph S. Koroma, popularly known as Nashito Kulala, has publicly expressed admiration for Sierra Leone's first ever Entertainment Ambassador, who doubles as Africa's reigning hip-hop icon, Amara Turay alias Kao Denero.

Kulala's recent publication outrightly silenced the perceived long-standing speculation of rivalry between Nashito and his perceived boss Kao Denero whom many believed payed the way for the rising producer when he walked with him almost a decade ago.

Widely seen as a critic or opposing voice to Kao Denero and his Black Leo movement, Kulala took to his official Facebook page, followed by over 99,000 fans, to share a candid confession: he holds deep respect for Kao Denero’s artistic legacy and contribution to Sierra Leone’s music industry.

“Kao Denero’s courage to carry on and remain consistent for decades is no child’s play,” Kulala wrote. “Your resilience and true craftsmanship have not only shaped the culture of hip hop, but given it lasting value. You have remained grounded, and proved to be the lion you truly are.”

Kulala admitted that while he hasn’t been publicly supportive of Kao Denero’s career, the lack of visible praise was never due to personal animosity.

“I may not celebrate you much in the open, which often leads to assumptions of beef,” he stated, “but in my heart, I do hold your craft in high regard.”

In his message, Kulala also praised Kao’s enduring legacy in the entertainment industry, calling it a permanent part of Sierra Leonean history.

“Your legacy has etched your name in the history books of Sierra Leonean entertainment, and it will live forever. It’s zero hate, and that’s honest. Today, I celebrate your greatness.”

Kulala concluded with a call for unity and peace within the music community, expressing hope for future collaboration. He humbly asked to be considered for a role, perhaps the outro in Kao Denero’s upcoming Black Leo compilation album.

“Let the music play on. All the best with the upcoming compilation,” he added.

The unexpected tribute has sparked a wave of positive reactions online, with fans from both camps applauding the gesture and calling it a much-needed moment of solidarity in Sierra Leone’s music industry.

Senegal, first African team to beat England, but not first to score three goals

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson Claim: Soccer World HQ, in a Facebook post , claimed that Senegal is the first African team to beat England and the first to score three goals against them. Verdict: Partly True! Senegal is the first African team to beat England, but not the first to score three goals against them. Full Text The England senior men’s national football team, nicknamed the “Three Lions,” played their first match against Scotland in 1872. That match ended goalless but marked the beginning of an intense soccer rivalry between both nations, dubbed the “Auld Enemy.” Since 1872-2025, the England national team has achieved its 1000-game milestone in November 2019 when they played Montenegro at the Wembley Stadium. England's all-time head-to-head record shows that they’ve played a whopping 1072 matches against 100 countries, won 615 games, drew 255, and lost 200. Senegal, on the other hand, is one of Africa’s most famous football nations, nicknamed the “Lions of Teranga.” In 2002, ...

Sierra Leone, Two other Nations disqualified from AFCON 2024 U17 Qualifiers

By: Abdulrahman Barrie The U17 football teams from Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Guinea Bissau have been disqualified from the 2024 U17 African Cup of Nations competition in Senegal after failing the mandatory MRI test scans. These scans, which determine the age of the players, revealed discrepancies that led to their removal from the tournament. The disqualification follows changes to Article 27.4 of the U17 Africa Cup of Nations regulations, which have tightened the criteria and enforcement of age verification measures. The updated rules stipulate that if a team has more than four players deemed ineligible after the MRI eligibility test, the entire team will be disqualified. The MRI tests, used to enforce age restrictions in youth competitions, are crucial for ensuring fairness. Unfortunately, the teams from these three nations did not meet the age criteria, resulting in their disqualification. This decision has come as a significant disappointment for the young players and their fans, w...
