  HERE IS SOMEONE DESPITE BEING BORN ABROAD WAS SENT TO GHANA AS A TODDLER SCHOOLED ALL DA WAY FROM NURSARY IN GHANA TO FORM 5 AT ACHIMOTA.

HE WAS TRYING TO BE A BREAK DANCER BACK THEN PRETENDING TO BE TONY N ORLANDO BUT GOT FLOORED BY ADJETEY SOWAH, SLIM BUSTER, ALEX OFORI, ALICE ADADE N AKOSUA AGYAPONG.. LOOK HOW HE FLOPPED WHEN HE PAID BEENIE MÀN TO FEATURE ON HIS TRACK. 2FACE IDIBIA OUTSHINED HIM COS REGGIE TRIED TO RAP LIKE AN AMERICAN.
