Controversial Dancehall artiste Mr Vegas has blasted the president of Ghana over what he calls “foolish spending.”

Mr Vegas has blasted the Ghanaian president, Nana Akufo Addo, after he recently approved the construction of a $100 million church in the country.

The “Tek Weh Mi Self” deejay took Instagram earlier this week to raise the issue saying “I want to bring something to your attention… President Nana Addo is building a $100 million cathedral dedicating it to his God, Jesus Christ, that gave him victory in the 2016 election.”

“Now President Addo seems to forget that it was the same religion that people came into Africa and used as a means to take millions of Africans to the Western Hemisphere where we were enslaved, raped, mutilated, castrated, hanged on trees,” Vegas said.

According Mr Vegas, the move is a slap in the face towards black people and history. He claims the politician should instead use the funds raised to build a back history museum instead of a place of worship.

“Now President Addo I think the best thing that you should have been doing with this money that you have to spend is build an historical museum where people like myself who were taken out of Africa and even people in Africa, can come and learn about the act and tribes like the Ashanti tribe and rich cultures of Africa.”

The “Heads High” deejay went on to point out that Christianity is a Eurocentric concept and should not be embraced by Africans.

Vegas’ comments also drew the support of Downsound Productions boss Skatta Burrell, who himself is a staunch critic of Christianity, saying “Yes mi bredda; love the message.”

Many Ghanaian fans also seemed divided on the Dancehall artiste’s comments as many took to social media debating the issue.

“Wise words from a noble man Mr Vegas. I am Ghanaian whose heart is saddened about the Prez boring decision. We live in a country children sit under trees to learn, no chairs……..Africa needs visionary leaders and we can make them through music,” one fan said.

But it was not all in support for the veteran deejay as one fan remarked “Worry about Jamaica. Nana is a great is a great man. U have no business talking about Ghana.”
