AK urged Ghanaians to be at the dome to support her and other artistes billed to perform for the night.

She promised fans to expect fireworks from her on stage, adding that “I promise to release more reggae/dancehall songs this year to make the world realise that I am the root of the reggae/dancehall genre in the country.”

Other Ghanaians billed to skirmish with the Nigerians are formidable music duos R2Bees; Patapaa, the man behind the “skopatumana’ craze, the ‘chochomucho’ hit maker, Bless; the ‘nothing I get’ hit maker, Fameye; Ako Nana, now known in the industry as Narna and Raskuuku.
