Multiple-award-winning reggae dancehall artist Ras Kuuku has debunked reports that he is uncivilized for touring around with his Vodafone Ghana Award plaque.
Recall that reggae artist Ras Kuuku misplaced his VGMA Plague for always carrying the award around wherever he went. According to him, the award was for the ghetto youth so he needed to make them feel it, hence taking it around.

“And besides it is not easy to say that in the year 2020 which is not a small year which has been marked that in the history of Ghana music Ras Kuuku was crowned reggae and dancehall artiste of the year,” he stated.
He added, “It is not just a fluke because I’ve got songs and performances that show that indeed I deserve that and the fans need to see it because I have fans who are not residing in Ghana especially those who play our song on iTunes are living abroad”.

Speaking about why he had to tour with his plaque outside the country, he said, “We have a lot of fans who listen to my music abroad so after showing the award to Ghanaians we need to also show it to the fans who are living in abroad,” he continued on Cape Coast-based Kastle FM.
“Moreover, the music that we’re doing we do it for the people, so after wasting their money to buy the song online to listen and so if you win an award and go round to show it to them, what is the uncivilized thing about that,” he ended on the Kastle Entertainment Show.
