From 10,000 cedis to 0 salary
In 2017, Blakk Rasta joined Zylofo FM, a subsidiary of Menzgold Company Limited owned by the embattled businessman NAM1.
This was after a brawl with his former employer, Multimedia Group, that led to his resignation.
When he finally got the Zylofon job, Blakk Rasta boasted about being paid 10,000 cedis as salary, plus other benefits, including a brand new car that was registered in his name.
However, his sweet days soon passed after NAM1's gold dealership firm, Menzgold, was shut down for alleged fraudulent activities.
Since then, Blakk Rasta has not received any salary again and has finally taken the decision to resign.
