Reggie Rockstone honours late father with emotional Black Star Fashion Week tribute

Ghanaian hiplife legend Reggie Rockstone has paid tribute to his late father, Ricci Osei, at the 2026 Black Star Fashion Week.

He described his recognition at the event as a deeply personal moment connected to his father’s legacy.

Reggie Rockstone received an honour on behalf of his father at the fashion showcase held at Royal Senchi in Akosombo, where he revealed that the location held a special significance because his father’s ashes were scattered in the lake behind the venue.

In an emotional speech, Reggie thanked individuals who contributed to his father’s journey while reflecting on the coincidence of being honoured at a place tied to his father’s final resting wishes.

“Today is a very special day for me besides the fact that my father is being honoured. Reason is my father was buried right here. His ashes were scattered in this lake right behind you,” he said.

The musician explained that a tree was grown with his father’s ashes and shared his experience visiting it for the first time, describing the moment as a sign that his father’s presence remained with him.

We grew a tree with his ashes. And I went today for the first time to go look at the tree, and it has blossomed into a huge tree right there in the back. Ricci, your spirit is with us,” Reggie added.

Following the tribute, Reggie Rockstone and his wife took to the runway to showcase a fashion piece inspired by his father’s original designs from the 1970s.

According to the hiplife icon, the patchwork jeans they wore were originally created by Ricci Osei decades ago in America before being reimagined by contemporary designer Boy Doe for the 2026 fashion showcase.

“What I am wearing and what my lovely wife is wearing was designed by my father, originally created in the 70s in America. This is called the patchwork jeans,” he said.

“How many years after the fact, another young designer by the name of Boy Doe would pick this up? And I’m wearing Boy Doe with my lovely wife.”

The runway appearance served as a celebration of fashion heritage, bridging Ricci Osie’s creative influence from the past with a modern interpretation presented at Black Star Fashion Week.
