American rapper and song writer Vic Mensa has disclosed that he was selling weed even before it was made legal in some States in America.
“So 93 Boyz, I just launched the first black-owned weed brand – it’s cannabis, in Illinois. It’s legal now,” Mensa said.
“You know, I’ve been selling it far before it was legal but now I’m selling it” he added.
In an interview on TV3 which was monitored by The Chronicle, Vic Mensa said, “I don’t sell it here [in Ghana]” when his attention was drawn to the illegality of weed in Ghana.
“I don’t have it here, don’t check me for it, you won’t find it,” he stressed and laughed.
the singer highlighted how “the weed and the gas give-away” are tied into his upcoming concert “the Black Star Line Festival in a lot of ways.”
“What we’re looking to do is also to reinvest,” he explained.
“I think the narrative with Black communities in America, as well as the continent at large, has always been extraction; it’s always people come and they extract our resources, they extract our labour, they extract our value, and so with this Black Star Line Festival, our purpose is to not only come and profit or capitalise from the continent, but to really bring resources, and talent, an we’re working on providing clean water,” Vic Mensa elaborated.
“We’re partnering with some organisations, one of which my father started that we’ve already built a water hole, in Koftown [Koforidua] where my family is,” the Hiphop celebrity revealed.
