He believes that young people especially, the boy-child needs support, for this reason, Ghanaian gospel musician Perez Muzik, known in private life as Frank Nii Okai Tagoe, has decided to dedicate his ministry to the support of the boy-child.
According to him even though some aspects of his charity project will go to the girl-child as well, there would be more emphasis on the boy-child.
Speaking to The Spectator about his upcoming concert dubbed Glorified, Perez Muzik said he has come to realise that society mostly does not pay attention to the boy-child, but he believes that “ if you are bringing the girl-child up, bring the boy-child close, because if you neglect the boys, they will cause problems for the girls through social vices among others.”
He noted that proceeds from the concert which would go into the launch of his charity project, would create an enabling platform to help the boy-child.
Perez Muzik noted that it would go into the establishment of skills centres where one could learn graphic designing, video editing, animation, painting, shoe making, among others to help the boy-child desist from illicit activities.
Against this backdrop, he urged Ghanaians to be at the Victory Bible Church (VBC) at Awoshie in Accra, on August 28 to help impact lives for a better society.
He expressed appreciation to artistes on the bill for their support to making the dream a reality.
Patrons of the event, will experience wonderful ministration from Akesse Brempong, MOG, Efe Grace and Pita from Nigeria.

Dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has responded to Sarkodie after the rapper’s recent tweet about principles in the music industry.
In a lengthy post on X (formerly Twitter), Stonebwoy recounted how he called Sarkodie the day after his Rapperholic show in the UK to congratulate him, adding that their conversation lasted over 10 minutes.
He noted that after his (Stonebwoy) own show at the OVO Arena, Sarkodie posted a video on social media.
“Whatever message you meant to send across, only you can explain,” Stonebwoy wrote.
According to him, after he made what he described as a factual tweet about the industry, he still reached out to Sarkodie privately because of some cryptic posts the rapper had been making.
“You called back immediately. I missed it, but I called you back after, and we spoke for more than an hour on industry, behaviors, and perspectives,” he disclosed.
Stonebwoy revealed that during their hour-long chat, Sarkodie made it clear that no artiste could be forced to uphold any principle, stressing that in the Ghanaian music industry artistes must play along as long as it benefits them.
“You were very clear about how no artiste could be ‘forced’ to uphold any form of principle. That, literally, in our industry, artistes must play along so far as it benefits them, and it cannot matter how, because we all care about different things. Which is evident in Video 1,” he stated.
Referencing two videos he shared, Stonebwoy concluded that Sarkodie’s recent tweet was equally been considered, insisting that without principle, advice is merely an opinion.

Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has sent a heartfelt message to his fanbase, SarkNation, urging them to move away from toxic fan culture and return to what made the group special.
In a long statement shared on social media, the rapper acknowledged SarkNation for birthing many of the fanbase trends in Ghana today, saying he doesn’t take that for granted.
He praised the “day ones”, the first wave of SarkNation, for positioning his brand with commitment and loyalty, without toxic energy.
According to him, a true SarkNation member should not be consumed by what another brand is doing.
“A true SarkNation member shouldn’t be consumed by what another brand is doing. Focus on the brand you love. No hate. No bitterness. No unnecessary competition. You don’t have to tear someone else down to prove your loyalty to Sarkodie,” he cautioned.
Sarkodie noted that as fanbases grow, dilution is inevitable, but the current trend of fanbases tearing each other down does not help the industry or the artists they claim to support.
He advised his fans not to fall for bait and online triggers, and cautioned artists against entertaining fans who insult other brands just to elevate them.
According to him, “Just because a fan sh**s on another brand to elevate you doesn’t mean they love you more… They may look like they’re fighting for you, but they genuinely don’t give AF about you.”
The rapper called on the new crop of SarkNation to learn from the old crop, whose focus was always the music, the movement and the brand.
“I know I’m still here because of God, SarkNation and hard work, so I never joke with you guys. I appreciate y’all more than you know,” he added.
