Ghanaian rapper, Opanka, has disclosed that his two years stay in the United States had nothing to do with his music career.
Contrary to popular speculation, Opanka clarified his time in the States was just to further his education.
In a recent interview, the rapper, who has been making waves in the Ghanaian music industry for years, stated that his decision to prioritise his education over his music career is his commitment to personal growth and development.
“My two years living in the states had nothing to do with me putting my music career on hold. The power that social media or technology is carrying, you can travel out for shows and that’s why I travelled out.
“You could be in Ghana and people outside Ghana will be hearing your music, you could equally be outside the country and people here will hear it. Right now, let’s say you travel out and you post something on YouTube, it’s the same YouTube that you would watch it and when they are on digital stores too, it’s the same thing,” he stated.
Opanka added that he went to America for a concert and he got the opportunity to further his education.
“First of all, I went to America for an award show and a concert. The whole thing was supposed to take us a month. After the concert, I had the opportunity to go to school and I believe everyone knows that education is power.
“So, meaning the knowledge I will acquire from education, when I add it to my music, everything will be on a different level. As I’ve gotten that opportunity, I thought it was wise to do it and I could still do the music as I’m outside the country,” he added.
