He stated that he has never had any dealings, sponsorship, or contact with either “Ghana Jollof” or Salomey Baffoe, who is also in police custody over allegations of aiding the social media account.

“It's very unfortunate that Blakk Rasta will make such a false allegation against me, alleging that I sponsor Ghana Jollof or even tell Jollof what to do. It's very unfortunate, and I will tell Blakk Rasta that the director of CID is conducting investigations. They have all the necessary state apparatus and they have come out to tell Ghanaians who and who is sponsoring Ghana Jollof.

“Now, why should Blakk Rasta be the person to make those false allegations? Why don't you wait for the director of CID to come out with his finding? Or to make it known to the public? See, these are some of the things we do, not only to damage the image, but to create unnecessary tension in this country,” he said.

According to him, if he truly had links or was sponsoring Ghana Jollof to insult people, he would have been invited over or arrested by the investigative authorities.

“Let the public ignore this evil propaganda, because the security agencies are in control. So, if they [police] have evidence, they would have called me; I'm not above the law… If I have done something untoward, or if there's a case I find myself in, or there's even an iota of evidence that I have any relationship with Ghana Jollof, why not?” he added.

“As I sit here, I don't know who even Ghana Jollof is. They can even come for my phone. I will even make my phone available to them,” he concluded.
