Ghanaian musician, Kofi Jamar has come under criticism for a tweet he made regarding the effects of colonisation.<\/p>\n
The artiste, who has been very vocal about his conscious stance regarding black empowerment, took it to another level today.<\/p>\n
In a post on Monday, he eulogised the impact of Africans have had on music genres on the international front.<\/p>\n
In justifying the role of blacks in these spaces, Kofi Jamar explained that \u201cour ancestors really knew what they were doing when they sold Most Africans into slavery.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a great impact on the world as we see today,\u201d he continued in the post on Twitter earlier today.<\/p>\n He added that \u201cBlacks have benefited and impacted the world a lot in so many ways due to that migration. Shhh we wouldn\u2019t have had the likes of Jay z, Lebron, Michael Jackson, Kanye West, Virgil abloh and a whole lot you can mention.\u201d<\/p>\n Some social media users did not take this lying.<\/p>\n So our ancestors sacrificed themselves for Kofi Jamar to come and tweet this nonsense. <\/p>\n No wonder he ghost after erkoso.<\/p>\n \u2014 Obuasi John WICK\ud83d\udd2b\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udded (@KojoLamarkojo) September 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Some issues are extra sensitive so if you have no better takes on em just keep mute.

My great grandfather, Prempeh the 1st was captured as a result of the colonial regime, I\u2019ve been affected by what happened in many ways. Although the deed of slavery is wrong I can\u2019t deny the impact blacks have had on the world today because of that.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the apology seems to have done very little to cure the outrage sparked by the original post.<\/p>\n That Kofi Jamar ein apology be worse pass the main tweet he deleted<\/p>\n \u2014 TWO TERTY \ud83c\uddf3\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udded (@Aboa_Banku1) September 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Twitter de3 if you want to prove too much woke, you go enter trouble all the time.
