Smart was also hosted on 'Sunrise,' the morning show on 3 FM 92.7 hosted by Alfred Ocansey where he shared details about being in talks with Beatrice Agyemang, the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Kanda-based conglomerate for years.
"It's been on about three years now with Bea (trice Agyemang) the latter part of 2018. And then I said 'you take it cool with me.' And she didn't stop, she kept pushing. And then, I met her in 2019. Last year in February, I met her at Afrikiko," Smart stated.
"And then this year, she called me again and said 'Captain Smart, I still want you to join the brand.' and I said 'don't worry, it will be possible one day,' So we finalized the whole thing about a week ago. I should have started last Monday but I said, take it easy."
