Ghanaian rap superstar, Okyeame Kwame will soon show his fans another side of him as he features in Leila Djansi\u2019s upcoming film, \u2018Ties That Bind\u2019 in the most unfamiliar fashion. Although the rapper may not be entirely new to acting, his role as a standup comedian would surprise many, especially since he wasn\u2019t scripted and had to generate the jokes by himself.<\/p>\n
Okyeame Kwame, plays the role of Seun Baka, an established comic who comes to town for a one-night-only of fun and humour. According to director Leila Djansi, she was very impressed because Okyeame was actually funny. The extras for the comedy show scene, didn\u2019t have to fake the laughter much as most of them also gave a similar account. So is there a job on the cards for Ghana\u2019s Rap Doctor?<\/p>\n
\u2018Ties That Bind\u2019 is a feature length movie about Adobea, Buki and Theresa, three women from different walks of life bound together by a similar pain; the loss of a child. In a destined meeting in a small village in Kroboland, the women journey together to redemption, love, life and forgiveness as they renovate a dilapidated clinic for the villagers. It stars Kimberly Elise, Randall Batinkoff, Ama K Abebrese, Omotola Ekeinde, David Dontoh, John Dumelo, Ebbe Bassey and others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
