In an interview on Accra-based 3FM, Blakk Rasta disclosed that he was invited to the event purposely to give a speech at the event but the crowd persuaded him to  perform instead.

According to him, he performed three songs which are, Kwame Nkrumah, Barack Obama, and Thief President.

‘Thief President’ happens to be sparking controversy on social media although Blakk Rasta clarified that the song was not aimed at any specific individual.

“After I did the song, I was just on my way out and telling myself, I didn’t intend to sing here. I just intended to come and give a speech because that was the original thing. But they were insisting that I should sing something. So when I sang it, by the evening, it was all over the place,” he recounted.

He disclosed that he has since then received several threatening phone calls, prompting the event organisers to offer him additional security.

Describing one of such he said, “People called me with phone numbers that did not exist and threatened me after that performance. There was one who called and just said, ‘You! I am coming for you.’ I said, ‘Oh, bro, where do you want us to meet?’ Then he started laughing. We both laughed.”

Blakk Rasta acknowledging that there was tension accepted the security support offered him around his hotel area by the organisers, stating, “So the organisers asked me if I needed security and all that. I said, ‘Why not?’ So they had one or two people around my hotel area.”

Reflecting on the experience, Blakk Rasta emphasised the importance of holding leaders accountable and warned against corruption.

“It’s not for me to tell you which one is a thief, which one is not a thief. Just as in every country, I believe that they know who is not treating them well as their president. So, if that suits you, why not? If you are not a thief, don’t ever be a thief. It’s not good. And if you are a thief, change,” he emphasized.
