How many of you believe Ghanaian music group FOKN Bois is the right creative heads to cover Childish Gambino’s This Is America?
Perhaps, I am not the only one who believes they CAN execute it with finesse but hey, that will not materialize as they are not interested and the reason is very SIMPLE.
M3nsa, a member of Ghana’s most celebrated music duo known for their most unconventional way of entertaining with ingeniously tasteful shock lyrics, revolutionary performance art & indulgent progressive sounds, FOKN bois, has asked fans and critics alike to ‘f**k off” and desist from asking them to record their own cover of Childish Gambino’s This Is America.
@FOKNBOIS would you make “This is Ghana” song. I feel like you guys will address the problems here perfectly. @falzthebahdguy did one for Nigeria

Question is, do my Gh peeps want to be in d rave, so as to say “we too, we do our own #ThisIsAmerica ? Or do they care that if it is done, it will awaken d minds of d leadership? @wanlov ‘s “50th independence” was #ThisIsGhana and y’all didn’t notice. I think it’s disrespectful

Funny enough I watched @falzthebahdguy version this morning and I was wondering who could best replicate it in Ghana. @wanlov came to mind not knowing he already has his from way back.

Apologies 4 using this as an example 2 say “fuck off” to everyone who’s asked myself and/or @wanlov to make our version of Falz’s ‘This Is Nigeria’. We’ve dedicated ALBUMS, singles and most of our careers discussing THIS type of shit! Are you even listening?? “How Far” @RedRedGH https://t.co/ADpgzfz2aX
