Meek Mill, an American rapper and businessman, has realized a lifelong dream after being named the headlining act at this year’s Afro Nation festival in Accra, Ghana.
The 2022 Afro Nation will take place on December 29 and 30, 2022, in Accra’s Black Star Square.
Meek Mill tweeted in May 2020 that he wanted to visit Ghana, but only after a number of unnamed issues were settled.
Christmas Day in 2020, when speculations were rife that Meek was coming to Ghana, he cleared the air on Twitter by saying: “[I] didn’t say that yet. Lol.”
In a 2021 tweet, the rapper contemplated: “Like Ghana or London?”
In January 2022, he again tweeted that: “I need to go to Dubai and Africa.”
Meek Mill, whose real name is Robert Rihmeek Williams, will headline the music festival with Davido and P-Square, Afro Nation said yesterday. Asake, a recent Afrobeats sensation, is another addition to the lineup.
Rapper Mill is currently trending on Twitter as a result of the Afro Nation news.
He has previously expressed plans to buy property in Ghana.
On December 26, 2020, Meek Mill declared on Twitter he wants “to buy a property in Ghana.” He stated also that he wants “a nice house,” and “I need to feel that experience with my family as another option in life! I don’t wanna dedicate my whole life to the American lifestyle I’ve been living. The odds are too stacked against us it feels like!”
“In Africa, I don’t wanna get in politics. I wanna do a few shows and not conflict it’s enough money for everyone. I need to get to Africa!” the ‘Litty’ hitmaker announced on Monday, October 3, 2022.
