Opanka urge musicians to support Appiatse reconstruction
Ghanaian rapper Armstrong Affum popularly known in showbiz as ‘Opanka’ has urged his fellow musicians to support the course towards the reconstruction of Appiatse near Bogoso in the Prestea Huni-Valley Municipality of the Western Region, following an explosion at the community
On Thursday, January 20, 2022, the small town of Appiatse was ravaged by a massive explosion, which killed 14 people with more than 179 injured and hundreds of people displaced.
According to the multiple-award-winning rapper, he was personally devastated by the severity of the damage caused and wants musicians to contribute to the Appiatse Support Fund established by the government.
“I first want to offer my condolences to all those that have lost their loved ones. We must come together and show love to the people of Appiatse
These are challenging moments for them, and I think we can collaborate on one song to render our support .
I know most of them listen to our music, so by doing so I think they would feel loved as they quest to get back to normalcy
We can also donate relief items to them and also contribute to the government support fund and I think it would go along way to helping them,” he said. -GNA
Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
