• The media personality called Kofi Boat’s recent arrest for his alleged $100 million fraud scheme by the Ghana police and the FBI as ‘karmic justice

Ghanaian media personality Blakk Rasta opened up on the relationship between his former boss, Nana Appiah Mensah, aka NAM 1, and apprehended businessman Kofi Boat.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Blakk Rasta said the two businessmen were close until an alleged betrayal by Kofi Boat ripped apart their friendship.

The 3FM radio host described the recent arrest of Kofi Boat as karmic justice.

Ghanaian businessman and socialite Isaac Kofi Oduro Boateng, popularly known as Kofi Boat, was arrested on Friday, June 13, 2025, along with two accomplices – Inusah Ahmed, also known as Pacal, and Derrick Van Yeboah – for their alleged involvement in a $100m fraud scheme.

The U.S. Department of State requested the extradition of Boat and several accomplices accused of being involved in a crime syndicate engaged in romance fraud and business email compromise (BEC) schemes.

Nana Appiah Mensah was the founder and Chief Executive Officer of the now-defunct gold trading firm Menzgold.

His company was closed down by the government of Ghana in 2018.

Blakk Rasta speaks on Kofi Boat and NAM 1

Speaking on his radio show, Blakk Rasta said that when Menzgold was shut down, NAM 1 had problems paying the workers of his other companies, including Zyolofon Media, where he worked at the time.

He quit in 2021 due to working for years without being paid.

The media personality said at the time, NAM 1 turned to his friend Kofi Boat and asked him for help in covering some bills of Zylofon’s offices.

He added that the alleged fraudster promised to do so but, for many months, did not move a finger to help out as he had pledged.

Blakk Rasta also recounted a story of how Kofi Boat used underhanded tactics to buy expensive cars from his embattled friend at cheap prices.

He rejoiced over Kofi Boat’s current struggles, describing it as the hand of karma at work.

Blakk Rasta also waded into claims that Shatta Wale had close ties with the alleged fraudster and said they were accurate based on the information he had.

He also claimed that socialite Hajia 4 Real, who was recently released from a U.S. prison, was also a known associate of Boat.
