Popular American Comedian, Dave Chappelle, has officially arrived in Ghana and videos show how he was given a warm welcome at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
When he arrived on Tuesday, January 3, 2023, he was given a kente sash with ‘Beyond The Return’ woven onto it, which was wrapped around his neck.
The 49-year-old beamed with smiles as some cultural dancers welcomed him with singing and dancing as he tried to imitate their steps in a video.
The renowned comedian is in Ghana to perform at the Black Star Line Festival, which is to be held at the Black Star Square in Accra Ghana.
The festival, which is being organised by American rapper, Chance The Rapper, and Ghanaian American rapper, Vic Mensa, is a celebration of Pan-Africanism. The festival seeks to build bridges between Black people and artistes in the diaspora and the African continent.
The free concert will feature performances from Chance the Rapper, Vic Mensa, Erykah Badu, T-Pain, Jeremih, Sarkodie, Tobe Nwigwe, Asakaa Boys and M.anifest, and will be held on January 6, 2023, in Accra’s historic Black Star Square.
