Snoop Dogg's post crediting 24GH on Instagram has garnered over 72k comments from fans worldwide, laughing over the Ghanaian comedian's work
Snoop Dogg, with 88 million followers, is one of the most followed Black entertainers in the world. A post from him could generate 14 million views overnight.
24GH in the comments section expressed his gratitude for Snoop Dogg's cosign.
Among the many social media users who reacted to Snoop Dogg's post was American R&B singer, rapper, songwriter, and record producer Anderson Paak.
He said "the words spoke to my soul."
The Ghanaian comedian is not new to viral fame. Last year, English Premier League team West Ham used his trending TikTok soundbite If You Don't Love Me Go Away in a post spotlighting Kurt Zouma's defensive skills.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh heralded 24gh's strides saying,
"24GH's content is a goldmine, and there are barely any limitations he has since he rarely speaks or uses the Ghanaian language or dwells on local concepts. It's not surprising to see foreigners like Snoop Dogg gravitating towards his content. There must be an agency that can turn all these foreign eyeballs into dollars and deals. That should be his next priority."
