Tema-based rapper Opanka posted a 20-second video on his Facebook page in which he argued that poverty is the source of all evil and criminal activities.
He said this while in the Accra, Ghana, studio of 100.5 FM.
“It is poverty that brings thoughts of crime and evil into the minds of people,” he stated.
“If you have money, will you think of ritual killings for money?” the Tema-based musician asked rhetorically.
“If you have money, will you think of robbery? No!” he stressed his point.
“The cause of hatred and all other [undesirable thoughts and actions] is poverty,” Dadie Opanka concluded.
He suggested that poverty promotes these negative ideas and deeds, and that becoming wealthy is the cure.
The rapper’s most recent song, “Enye Betee (It’s Not Easy),” acknowledges periods of economic struggle and desperation while also giving listeners hope.
