Paapa Yankson
Ailing Benjamin Paapa Kofi Yankson was present at the VGMAs in high spirits last Saturday.
The veteran musician who was honoured with “Lifetime Achievement Award” at the grand event defied sickness and age to announced to the excited crowd that he will return to the stage again better off than he currently is to entertain his fans next time.
The wheelchair bound musician said, “Life is full of ups and downs. There are times things will be rosy and there are times one will struggle but similar to Joseph in the Bible; he was sold as a slave, he was imprisoned at a point but eventually, he became the mayor of Egypt… That is just how life is.”
“I will be back,” he assured his loved ones.
He took advantage of the moment to appreciate another Highlife music great C.K. Mann, who according to him, inspired him to become a musician.
