Blakk Rasta has recounted his surprising experience following a recent performance at the Nkrumah Fest.
Initially invited to deliver a speech, he found himself persuaded by the enthusiastic crowd to sing, leading to a viral moment that garnered both attention and unexpected backlash.
“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 shared.
However, the aftermath was not all positive. Blakk Rasta revealed that he began receiving threatening calls soon after his performance, prompting event organizers to provide him with additional security.

“I got a couple of calls. People called me with phone numbers that were not existing and threatened me after that performance. There was one who called and just said, ‘You! I am coming for you,” he recounted.
In a light-hearted moment amidst the tension, he responded to one of the threats, asking, “Oh, bro, where do you want us to meet?” which led to laughter between him and the caller.
Reflecting on the incident, Blakk Rasta emphasized the need for accountability among leaders and the importance of integrity.
“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?” he remarked.
He concluded with a powerful message: “If you are not a thief, don’t ever be a thief. It’s not good. And if you are a thief, change.”
The Nkrumah Fest Memorial Day is an annual event dedicated to celebrating the legacy and contributions of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the first President of Ghana and a key figure in the country’s struggle for independence from colonial rule.
The festival typically includes various activities such as speeches, performances, discussions, and cultural displays that honour Nkrumah’s vision for a united and prosperous Africa.
In 2023, the Nkrumah Fest was organized on September 21 to coincide with Dr. Nkrumah’s birthday.
The event aims to reflect on his ideals, achievements, and the ongoing relevance of his philosophies in contemporary society, fostering discussions on governance, leadership, and national development in Ghana and beyond.
