Ghanaian rapper Jason Gaisie, popularly known as Pappy Kojo, has made his stance clear on the proposed anti-LGBT+ Bill that is awaiting presidential assent in Ghana.
Pappy Kojo emphasized the importance of protecting human rights and criticized the idea of imprisoning individuals based on their sexual orientation.
During a recent episode of the “If More, Let’s Divide” podcast, Pappy Kojo expressed his disagreement with the Bill, stating, “I feel like it’s a reach for someone to be in jail for, like, three years just for being who they are. I think it’s mad. LGBT is just straight human rights. Putting people in jail for their sexual preference, for three to five years, is mad.”
Pappy Kojo also raised concerns about personal biases influencing support for the Bill, specifically mentioning lawmaker Sam George. He suggested that those in power might be using their positions to push personal agendas.
The rapper stressed the need to shield children from exposure to intimate matters, regardless of sexual orientation. He stated, “Intimate matters shouldn’t be exposed to kids. Whether heterosexual or homosexual, they shouldn’t be exposed to kids.”
Pappy Kojo’s outspoken remarks have added fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding the Bill and its potential impact on human rights in Ghana.
As the country grapples with the issue, voices like Pappy Kojo’s are crucial in ensuring that human rights are protected for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation.
