I will give 'Rapper of the Year' brand new V8 – Dumelo

Ghanaian actor John Dumelo has promised a “brand new V8” for the winner of the 2017 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) Rapper of the Year.

Mr Dumelo, who was invited together with actress Zynell Zuh on Sunday April 9 to present the award to the winner of that category at this year’s VGMAs, said: “The winner is getting a brand new V8 by me; 2017 model.”

Mr Dumelo, a staunch supporter of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been in the news lately for his involvement in a Toyota V8 Land Cruiser scandal.

Government had set up a task force to retrieve all state vehicles in possession of individuals after the NDC administration of John Mahama handed over to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government. One of such vehicles impounded recently was being used by Mr Dumelo.

It remains to be seen whether the actor is serious about his promise to give away a V8 to M.anifest who won Rapper of the Year or intended as a joke on the back of his Toyota V8 Land Cruiser saga.
