“I was smocked the FIRST PRINCE of BAWKU today in Bawku by His Royal Majesty, The Overlord of Bawku, Zugraan Asigri Abugrago Azoka II… A huge ram was presented to me to ride back to Accra after my 1North, 1Ghana Peace Concert tonight at Zebila,” Blakk Rasta said.

The musician said the ceremony for his new position was held despite the fact that a ban on noise-making had been implemented in the town, and expressed gratitude to the overlord for specially lifting the ban on his behalf.

He added that he was going to continue his tour by visiting several other important towns in the North and emphasised the emotional weight of his new role.

“I had tears in my eyes the whole time. Thanks so much to the overloaded and the elders of Kusaug… Let peace reign… I love you… Next is Nalerigu, Bolgatanga, Wa, Yendi, Bimbilla, etc. It’s a tour of TRADITIONAL TERRITORIES of the North,” he added.
