‘No my suits are partly made by a Ghanaian, you see that is what people don’t know, my ties are made by a guy known as Edward Armah, he does ties for people like Will Smith and stuffs for Jay-Z. He is a Ghanaian sets up right here in Ghana. I believe that what I feel and how I want to represent is what I wear, my suits are locally made by a guy known as Bromon,’ he explained.

So that is it, so what, can’t a Ghanaian choose suits, because we want to be in western market and trail blazers and we supporting our own to do that, and we have great blazers and shoes, the fact that you look nice doesn’t mean that is western’.
