Ras Kuuku has scrutinized the choice of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in tolerating sponsorship from Nigerian genius Mr Eazi from his wagering organization, betPaWa.
He offered the remark depended on the boycott forced by the Ghana Gaming Commission on famous people going about as representatives for wagering organizations.
The Gaming Commission had cleared up that this is expected for the rising number of famous people supporting wagering organizations – an activity many say could draw youthful fans into betting.
Considering this, the Dancehall/Reggae act Ras Kuuku has said it was unseemly for GFA to acknowledge ‘wagering cash’ for Ghana’s head association.
He stated, “It’s very painful that we’re in Ghana and we’ve banned celebrities from doing an advert for a betting company but when we watch football on TV we see the likes of Okocha and other Nigerians doing an advert for betting companies”.
He continued; “And we watch these advert with our kids when people endorse betting but when a Ghanaian celebrity do it we would be told that we are spoiling the kids and we’re here for a Nigerian like Mr Eazi to use money from betting to sponsor our football,” he said on Kastle FM in Cape Coast in a recent interview.
“It’s a big-time shame to us for Mr Eazi to sponsor the Ghana Premier League with his betting company and using money that he has made from betting but musicians in Ghana are banned from doing an advert for a betting company,” he added.
