According to the rapper, he used to be called Rap Pages when he started his journey in rap music but after some time, he realized that his moniker was very childish and had no tangible meaning to his craft.
He told Gilbert Abeiku Aggrey Santana on the Atuu show that his name, Amerado was picked up from the Bible which depicts that he is a leader of an army.
He said that he picked the name, Amerado because he wanted the name to have a huge significance on his career and his fanbase.

In other news, the Kumarica-based music group, Askaa Boys made up of Jay Bahd, Kweku DMC, O’Kenneth, and City Boy have debunked claims of ever using their music to endorse the use of hard drugs or promote any form of uncultured behaviors among the youth.
Speaking in an interview on the Delay Show with Deloris Frimpong, Kweku DMC, a member of the clique said that their songs do not promote bad practices among the youth since they currently hold the masses.
He said that our generation is already used to hard drugs, reckless sexual lifestyles, money, and other uncalled practices, hence they are not the first to ever preach or use these practices in their songs.
They claim they have never used drugs be it weed or codeine for themselves, thus the fact that they use them in their songs doesn’t mean they are into such ventures.
