• Fans hailed the rapper for his deep analysis of the issue

Ghanaian rapper Okyeame Kwame, aka Rap Doctor, has reacted to the move of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to analyse the source of wealth of some Ghanaian celebrities.

This comes after Hajia4Reall pleaded guilty to fraud in her ongoing romance scam lawsuit.

Speaking to Berla Mundi on TV3's New Day on Monday, February 26, 2024, Okyeame Kwame expressed his thoughts on EOCO's decision.

He said that he doesn't believe EOCO would find celebrities who are criminals because most of them are suffering due to the state of their industry. He told EOCO to target politicians instead because he had observed how politicians live "lavishly."
