Ghanaian artist Arathejay continues his meteoric rise with a stellar live performance on Glitch Africa’s “Next Up.” Wrapped in his signature denim ensemble and balaclava mask, Arathejay delivered a captivating rendition of his viral hit “Jesus Christ II,” featuring Black Sherif.

The performance, widely lauded for its electrifying energy and seamless execution, emasises his growing reputation as one of the most exciting talents in Ghanaian music today.

Arathejay’s artistry has been steadily permeating the African music scene, thanks to his remarkable year in 2024. This comes after he surprised fans with a cameo appearance at Tidal Rave, sharing the stage with Black Sherif as the duo performed the record for the first time – a performance that left the crowd in awe.

His hit song “Jesus Christ II” released in August, has dominated streaming platforms, consistently charting at the No. 1 spot and earning widespread admiration from Ghanaians and music lovers across the continent.

2024 has proven to be a breakthrough year for Arathejay. Following the success of his debut project “Finding Nimo: The Capsule,” he has gained critical acclaim for blending Ghanaian musical traditions with fresh, innovative sounds.

His artistic trajectory reached new heights this October when Apple Music named him the “Up Next” artist for Ghana. This further establishes him as one of the most promising acts to watch from Ghana.

Arathejay’s latest live performance on Glitch Africa is just another testament to his undeniable talent and ever-growing influence on the music scene.

Doja Cat brings her Tour Ma Vie World Tour to Toronto on Wednesday, November 25, with a 7:30 p.m. show at Scotiabank Arena. It is one of the last stops on the biggest headlining run of her career, and it lands in the middle of a heavy week for the building.

The tour supports Vie, her fifth studio album, released in September 2025. The record is an 1980s inspired turn back toward pop, led by the singles “Jealous Type” and “Gorgeous,” and the live show has been built as a full scale arena production. Latto joins the bill as special guest for the entire North American leg, which runs 31 dates from the October 1 opener in Detroit to the December 1 finale at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Toronto gets the show near the end of the run, with Boston on November 23 before it and Montreal on November 27 after it. By the time she reaches Scotiabank Arena, the production will have played more than twenty North American arenas, on top of earlier legs across Oceania, Asia, Latin America and Europe. Earlier in November the tour also plays Miami, Tampa, Orlando and Atlanta.

Fans have been getting a look inside the tour straight from Doja Cat herself. She has been filming the run on Ray-Ban Meta glasses, posting point of view footage from backstage, soundchecks and life on the road, so the Toronto crowd will see a show that has been documented almost night by night. Tickets for November 25 are on sale through Ticketmaster. With the Garden shows in New York closing the tour one week later, the Toronto date is one of the final chances to see this production before the run wraps.
