Musician, Wanlov the Kubolor has written a
letter to reggae musician, Blakk Rasta, stating
that he has partially forgiven him for an
altercation that ensued between them at the
premises of Joy FM last Thursday.
Blakk Rasta, while trying to trash out a long
standing feud with Wanlov, slapped him
resulting in a scuffle between them. But for
the timely intervention of by-standers, things
would have gone out of hands.
Wanlov's lengthy letter highlighted some of
the key issues that have marred their
relationship over the past years including
allegations that Blakk Rasta, who is also the
host of Taxi Driver on Hitz FM, had tried to
sabotage a relationship with their sponsors.
"I only accept your slap apology because you
didn't go as free as you might have wanted
since my hands also had a few seconds on
your face, but I cannot apologize for fighting
back coz it was a natural reaction," Wanlov
said.
The Gypsy musician, iconic for walking
barefoot, noted that "Your mother has never
done anything bad to me apart from giving
birth to you so I apologize to her for insulting
her because she could not have known you
would grow to be a pain to me and a few
others."
Blakk Rasta, known in real life as Abubakar
Ahmed, commenting on the incident on Airtel
Entertainment News on Drive Time on Joy FM
Monday, said, he has resolved the issue
amicably with Wanlov.
According to him, "we have sorted it out,
everything is cool and calm. It was an
unfortunate incident which happened, we have
sorted it out as two matured adults and it is
over… we are two happy people right now."
The 'Barack Obama' hit singer explained
further that, "We both agreed that some things
were extreme and then we apologized to each
other for whatever might have happened and
we decided to put everything behind us and
move on."
Reacting to reports that Wanlov, who is a
member of FOKN Bois, had lodged an official
complaint with the Nima Police Station, Blakk
Rasta said, "I was invited [by the police] and I
can say that all these things are a thing of the
past."
Wanlov, speaking in an interview with
Myjoyonline.com, after Blakk Rasta's
comments said "we've resolved it. I retaliated
[right] there. I don't want to go the violent
path, I don't need that for this kind of issue."
According to him, the controversial radio
presenter "apologized to me… I also
apologized for [insulting the mother]. I asked
him as well to withdraw the cocaine comments
on twitter…"
Wanlov stressed and urged that Blakk Rasta
should also desist from passing comments
about FOKN Bois – M3nsa and Wanlov – "or
else we will retaliate."
Read Wanlov's unedited letter to Blakk Rasta
below:
You contacted me via Peace FM to apologise
for slapping me. A slap that came unaware
whilst I was turned away listening to a
comment your colleague Doreen Andoh was
making on the front steps of Multimedia, your
workplace.
I clearly said that I had stopped many angry
people from coming for you during this Peace
FM call. When it was your turn to speak you
turned the issue like I had said I was sending
people for you so you were also ready to send
your guys to me. The host caught you and
pointed out your twisting of my words and
intention. Is this apologetic behaviour? Or
comprehension deficiency?
Your mother has never done anything bad to
me apart from giving birth to you so I
apologise to her for insulting her because she
could not have known you would grow to be a
pain to me and a few others.
As far as I know, you have not publicly
withdrawn the cocaine comment by tweeting it
like i asked because it has not come to my
attention. I only accept your slap apology
because you didn't go as free as you might
have wanted since my hands also had a few
seconds on your face, but i can not apologize
for fighting back coz it was a natural reaction.
Now on to more issues:
1. You wrote letters to Bavaria to sponsor your
Reggae event. Meanwhile you were calling the
guys who brought them to Ghana cocaine users
and strippers. Do you posses a shred of
shame? Yet we went ahead to say that they
should consider your proposal if it holds
business value, but they said even if it did,
they wanted to work only with artists we
approved of totally. See how you dig your own
pit?
2. You attempted to use Rita Marley's name to
go to Felabration by lying to the organizers
that you were her 15 man band, unbeknownst
to Rita, with the plan of calling her on stage by
surprise when you got there. I thought you
liked Rita Marley. Yaa Pono, EL, Lady Jay, Afro
Harmony, Macho Rapper, Knii Lante & FOKN
Bois were all invited there officially to
perform. Yes, and FOKN Bois performed
"Thank God We're Not A Nigerians" to 6000
plus Nigerians and they sang along, laughed,
danced and teased us back right after. We'll
put it on youtube just for you to watch since
you were the first to speak against the song
when it came out.
3. You uninvitedly jumped on Lady Jay & Afro
Harmony's stage at La Palm to forcefully shoot
your video without permission because it
looked nice to you. After you were told to wait
till the show was over so you can use it for
free, you pretended to agree and jumped right
back on it minutes later. Opportunism has a
new meaning with you.
Before stealing that slap, you accused me of
thinking I am special, as if being special is a
bad thing, yet you behave like you are over
entitled and use insensibly forceful and
crooked means to try and get things…the only
thing that makes me special is truth. I do not
trick or lie. I live my life as simple as I can. I
did not come to this world to step on any toes.
What made you stoop so low to me to
apologise since you claimed you will never do
so? Was there pressure from Multimedia? Do
not mind them coz they will protect their own.
If you have not yet lost your job so far for
your misogynic, racist, homophobic, sexist and
violent views that you air freely on Hitz FM, a
station that claims to be progressive, then you
won't lose your job even if i take Multimedia
to court because realistically I don't have
enough money for that and we all know how
our beautiful nation of Ghana functions.
As for the police… Your colleagues at
Multimedia that like you a lot, because of
certain behaviour you have been exhibiting at
work, advised that I report you to Nima police
station right away so that they come and arrest
you for assault…so I did…I went through all
the motions required of me officially, but I did
not "lubricate" any palms so I doubt they will
come for you. If they do then be happy that at
least some parts of the police system are still
functioning.
If you plan to continue your attempt at being a
relevant public figure then try and make some
adjustments in your life and till the day you do
so please don't comment on things I or my
people do, because I really thrive on tit for
tat.
Oh wow…the police just called me…some parts
still function!!!…they want me to accompany
them to Multimedia to point you out and
arrest you…I had to tell them that I am very
busy and don't see why I need to accompany
them to come and pick you up. It will feel like
I have also been arrested since it would be
taking up time I can be using to edit "Coz Ov
Moni 2″ coming out 23rd December at
National Theatre ;0).
Is it true you asked King Luu to do some for
you? hahahahaha! So pray the police do not
come coz I will not stop them from doing their
duty since it is a rare sight in my experience.
And even though I have forgiven you for
slapping me I have not forgiven Multimedia
who made no effort to contact me and
apologise for their employee's assault on me
on their premises whilst I was there in full
official capacity.
I wish you all the best
Kubolor
