American rapper, Meek Mill’s wish of coming to Ghana is finally coming true.
Over the years, Meek Mill has shared his dream of visiting Africa, particularly Ghana.
Weeks ago, the rapper issued a call to show managers to invite him to Africa, and organizers of AfroNation Ghana answered the call.
“I’m tryna come to Africa this December also … the first time I got locked up …. The other times didn’t fully get worked out! Who is the biggest promoters handling that! I need to perform dreams and nightmares in Africa! And all my other ish” he tweeted.
