I know it\u2019s the Ghanaians; instead of them to celebrate, they go around saying weird things&#8230;,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Jupitar, who performed at the Red Bull Clash at South Africa alongside Beenie Man earlier this year, added \u201c&#8230;I think I deserve it and more. Here in Ghana, we have funny ways of nominating and rewarding people. One will like to see you in controversies before you trend.
