Renowned hip-life icon Reggie Rockstone is calling for a radical approach to address the economic challenges plaguing Ghana and Africa as a whole. Rockstone, known for his outspoken views, believes that the continent is suffering from severe neocolonialism and imperialism.
In a recent interview on the Unkut Show hosted by rapper D-Black, Rockstone expressed his frustration with the current state of affairs, stressing the need for decisive action. He proposed extreme measures, including imprisonment and even execution of those responsible for perpetuating the economic crisis while living extravagant lifestyles at the expense of the population.
“Africa is moving sideways, Ghana is struggling, and we can’t rely solely on political parties like NPP and NDC to fix things. We need to overhaul everything. Some people need to be held accountable, even if it means locking them up or taking more extreme measures,” Rockstone declared.
While acknowledging the seriousness of his proposal, Rockstone highlighted the urgency of addressing poverty-related deaths and the stark contrast with lavish living.
“Africa on the whole is moving sideways, Ghana is not doing too good, and I don’t want to hear no NPP and NDC. What would I change? Everything! They need to lock some people up. You could begin with that; that’s a deterrent. That’s the only way, black people; that’s how we rock. Especially we Africans, You’ve got to show them. Lock some folks up; some people have got to be shot,” he insisted.
Rockstone argued that while entertainment and music are important, they should not distract from critical issues that require immediate attention. He emphasized the devastating impact of poverty on people’s lives and called for action to address the disparity between the wealthy and the impoverished.
