Kofi Kinaata, known in real life as Martin King Arthur, was also a budding footballer before taking up music as his profession.
While he could not realise his football dreams, Kinaata wants to use the opportunity he has to ensure young footballers can dream.
"I have a football team because I used to play football. The team is Team Move FC," he told CNN.
"We have a U12, U15, U17 and the second division. So, there is a league they are playing. The aim is to have someone look after the players and push them wherever they have to go. Just organise them and, if possible, play in the Premier League and win the cup.
"I feel happy watching them because when we were playing we didn't have something like that. They look at me as their source of inspiration; I like that because it puts pressure on me and it makes me work hard, too. I am happy giving them hope."
Kinaata collaborates with Asamoah Gyan
The rapper, who can also sing, shot to prominence after appearing on a song by former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan.
Kinaata rapped on the hit record Ghana Girls, which table-toped several charts across the country in the 2010s.
