Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian rapper E.L. has admitted that his story of working as a delivery driver in the United States was fabricated for the sake of garnering attention and was not based on truth.
During an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz, E.L. confessed that he concocted the story purely for the purpose of trends, which ultimately yielded positive outcomes for him.
A few months ago, the artist, who won the 2016 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) Artiste of the Year, had disclosed in an interview on 3Music TV that there was a period when he had to work as a food delivery guy in the US just to keep body and soul going.
“Andy let me be very honest with you be my bro that whole thing ebi agenda we dey do. I no for do that thing but it’s one of those things. In the spur of the moment sometimes you get carried away,” he said in Pidgin.
E.L. added that he had intentions of doing something like that but never worked as a delivery guy.
The ‘Bars’ rapper went ahead to apologise for the publicity stunt.
“It was more like an attention grab and I shouldn’t have done it. It was also influenced by some people around me. I was fresh off the flight and I wanted to get something trending and it did trend.”
Elom Adablah better known by his stage name EL, is an award-winning Ghanaian record producer, rapper, and sound engineer.
