OK Frimpong speaks to Blakk Rasta
In a viral video online, Ohene Kwam Frimpong, popularly called OK Frimpong, spoke for the first time about his arrest.
The outspoken Ghanaian media personality and musician, Blakk Rasta, played an excerpt of the conversation during his programme on the radio.
OK Frimpong said the police told him why he was arrested and denied allegations that he was involved in a romance scam.
According to him, the only charge Interpol informed him about before his arrest was money laundering. OK Frimpong also denied reports linking him to $100 million and $35 million money laundering schemes.
“When I was picked up, the only thing they told me was that I was being arrested for money laundering and nothing else. I have heard a lot of reports that I was involved in a $32 million money laundering scheme, but I won’t say anything,” he said.
Meanwhile, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, the Majority Chief Whip and MP for South Dayi, has stated that the OK Frimpong's legal team in Amsterdam has successfully gained access to the warrant, which was reportedly issued on April 26, 2026.
“The lawyers are just informing me that they have seen the warrant, and it was issued on April 26. So, even as a sovereign nation, I doubt whether we were informed in any way,” he said.
