Popcaan honours ancestors in Ghana
With 2019 being the ‘Year of the Return’, it
was no surprise to see Jamaican entertainers return to the Motherland. Among
the visitors was Popcaan who made the trek to Ghana recently.
In a series of posts on social media, Popcaan
is seen having a blast. From kissing the ground at the airport to cashing out
on a house, Popccan is making up for the last visit he made to the country back
in 2014.
Visiting Cape Coast Castle
As part of his trip, Popcaan visited the Cape
Coast Castle, which he said made him very sad.
“This place and the story about it makes me
very sad honestly,†said Popcaan, who was dressed in a Kente shirt and hat. “Read
and educate yourself about your past and history.† Â

Popcaan also honoured his ancestors by laying
a wreath.
“I went and lay this wreath in memory of my
ancestors that was put in these dungeons and shipped to Jamaica and other parts
of the world,†he said.
The Year of the Return is an initiative of the government of Ghana that
is intended to encourage persons in the African Diaspora to visit the
continent. Koffee, Kranium, Gramps Morgan and Alkaline are some of the other Jamaican
acts who visited Ghana during the period.
