[ads1]On a personal level, the ‘Confession’ hit-maker described the high-life legendary as his role model, tutor, and advisor.

He also revealed that, he has visited Paapa Yankson several times in his home.

“He was a role model and a mentor; his sounds were the only sounds that we were listening to in Takoradi. I see him as a father. After the 2017 VGMAs I went to his house and he gave me a whole lot of advice.”

“I agree that he should be given a state burial, that won’t be bad at all, it is a nice idea that will even boost our morale especially the young ones. That will mean when you live up to expectation you will be recognised.”
