Popular Ghanaian music trio VVIP has thrown its weight behind celebrated Ghanaian investigative journalist of international repute Anas Aremeyaw Anas for his works aimed at exposing the corrupt in society.
The undercover journalist is celebrated for exposing human rights abuses, corruption, thievery and embezzlement in Ghana and other parts of Africa. His recent exposé was on corruption in Ghana’s judiciary.
VVIP, made up of Zeal, Prodigal and Reggie Rockstone, said it appreciates what Anas has been doing because it would bring to an end all forms of corruption Ghanaians engage in.
The group’s comment comes a few days after it released a new music video which features Anas’ trending mask.
Anas has always made public appearances in the mask which is made of beads. Over the past few months, the mask has attracted a lot of attention and VVIP’s latest video for the new single titled Dogo Yaro, featuring dancehall artiste Samini, also featured video vixens wearing the mask.
Zeal told NEWS-ONE on Tuesday that though they decided to use the mask because it was the latest thing trending, it was to celebrate Anas.
According to him, they appreciate Anas and hope to meet him one day to personally congratulate him for his good works.
“The Anas thing is something out there now and we wanted to do something that is current and I think it worked. Yes, of course we appreciate what Anas is doing because he is trying to protect the country and make sure people do the right thing. So in a way, you should know that whatever you are doing, you need to watch your ways because Anas will be coming for you. Yes we definitely want to meet Anas one day,” he added.
He said the video will be on some international platforms and that fans should watch out for interesting and great stuff from the group in the coming weeks.
The Dogo Yaro song, he said, is to inspire people to be strong. He also announced an upcoming nationwide tour the group will embark on.
On the same Anas issue, popular actress Yvonne Nelson has in a series of tweets endorsed the journalist on social media platforms and has encouraged Ghanaians to support him. Below are the tweets:
“@anasglobal, one of my favourite people in the world. what a man.”
