Host of Urban Blend on Accra-based 3FM and Reggae Musician, Blakk Rasta has stated that his ‘Thief President’ song performed at the recent Nkrumahfest concert is not targeted at a particular President.
According to him, the song is directed to all sitting Presidents and African leaders ruling with greed and corruption.
“Not at all. If you look at the video, there’s a lot of African leaders. There’s President Akufo-Addo, there’s President Yoweri Museveni, it was just Presidents. It’s not for me to tell you who is a thief and who is not a thief.
“In every country, I believe that they know who is not threatening them well as their President so if the cap fits you, must wear it,” he clarified on 3FM Drive, Wednesday, September 25.
Blakk Rasta was amongst the several artistes who performed at the recent Nkrumahfest concert held on September 21 in Nkroful in the Western Region.
The concert was held to honour Ghana’s first president Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s legacy. The day also marked Nkrumah’s 115th birthday.
The Radio presenter further disclosed that he received threats after singing the song.
“After I did the song, I was just on my way out and I said I didn’t intend to give the song here because I intended to come and give a speech but they were insisting that I should sing something.
“So, when I sang it by evening it was all over the place. For me it’s a wake-up call for all our African leaders. If you are a thief, then change.
“I got a couple of calls after that. People called me with non-existing numbers (threatening me). So, the organizers beefed up my security at my hotel,” he stated.
