But that did not stop me from working hard,\u201d he said. He recalled how a well-known lawyer made fun of him because of his style of music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is this lawyer who always mocks me for what I was doing. He sometimes asks if I earn from it. Now, I am happy that I have proven him wrong,\u201d Kooko recounted.<\/p>\n<p>The Sunyani-based rapper who has now signed a three-year record deal worth Ghc 500,000 with Nana Mosi Bansere (a Traditional Priest in Techiman) averred that he is ready to work harder.<\/p>\n<p>He called on authorities to help write the Bono language. Kooko noted that the culture of the people of Bono will be lost if the language is not written.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have Asante Twi, Akuapem Twi and others\u2026so why can\u2019t we have Bono-Twi?\u201d he queried. Kooko added that he is ready to send a petition to the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to help put measures in place so that the Bono language could be written.<\/p>\n<p>He is currently promoting his single track titled \u2018Video Bi\u2019.
