Opanka Jumps On Donald Trump’s ‘Shithole’ To Compose A Song & Reggie Rockstone Can’t Think Far

Rapper Dadie Opanka has quickly rushed to clarify the title of his new song titled ‘Shithole Country. The term ‘Shithole Country’ stemmed from US president Donald Trump who used it in addressing countries in Africa, Haiti, El Salvador.

 

According to Opanka, hiplife legend, Reggie Rockstone phoned him as soon as the song dropped to criticise him for using it in his song. Addressing the issue of his Instagram page, Opanka disclosed that his usage of the term is not in the support of the US President or to ridicule his race.

He wrote: “Barely 24hrs after the release of my new song “shithole country” I Had a call from my big brother @reggierockstone711 and he broke it down to me why I shouldn’t have used Donald trumps inexcusable rant about African Countries or his image to express my heart felt concerns about Africa and Ghana which I totally got the point after our conversation. It’s unfortunate how the the title and artwork might seem to support what Trump said, but it’s something I personally wouldn’t want to be a part of and therefore in no certain terms will I want to endorse it.

I am an entertainer and a black revolutionist who doesn’t seek to only entertain but also churn out good music towards the development of Ghana and Africa as a whole, it was in this vain that as a creative person I did “shithole country” to throw lights on the needful things as citizens and not rather waste our precious time on things that are of no national interest and help make Ghana our motherland a safe haven to be. I humbly apologize to any quarters that will feel hurt or offended by my reference to Trump’s comment. Long live Ghana and Africa”.

 

Although he has clarified the use of the term, many are of the belief that it’s a way to catch the public’s attention to redeem his ailing music career.
