Ghanaian Drill rapper Yaw Tog has expressed interest in exploring cannabis cultivation following the recent passing of the Narcotics Control Commission Amendment Bill 2023, which has opened up new opportunities in Ghana’s cannabis industry.
With the responsibility for issuing licenses for cannabis cultivation now shifted to the Ministry of Interior, Yaw Tog sees potential in the business.
In an interview with BRYT TV, the ‘Sore Hitmaker’ mentioned that if he has the financial means and believes it to be a viable opportunity, he would consider obtaining a license and investing in the industry. He acknowledged that it’s a business decision and if circumstances permit, he would explore this avenue.
Yaw Tog has been proactive in diversifying his investments and seeking opportunities beyond his music career. Currently involved in pig farming, the rapper shared on Tv3 New Day that he is working on building a significant pig farm in Kumasi.
While Yaw Tog is focused on entrepreneurship and growing his various ventures, he has also been vocal about his decision not to pursue a university education. In an interview with Hello FM in Kumasi, the 20-year-old high school graduate explained that he believes his music career and other endeavors will provide him with the means to sustain himself in life, and therefore, he has no immediate plans to attend university.
However, his stance on education received criticism from some segments of the Ghanaian public. Despite the backlash, Yaw Tog remains committed to pursuing his passions and expanding his horizons in the business world, showcasing his determination to carve out a successful path for himself beyond traditional academic routes.
