It has emerged that Ghanaian hiplife rapper, Reggie Rockstone, is the face behind the ‘waakye in jars’ causing a stir on social media.
This comes after photos of the ‘Waakye in a jar’ surfaced on Twitter and got a lot of Ghanaians talking, eventually resulting in the creation of the hashtag: #WaakyeLivesMatter.
The rapper, born Reginald Yaw Asante Osei and his wife, have been known for the operation of a ‘waakye’ joint under the brand name ‘RockzWaakye’ at Cantonments.
