Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., professionally known as T.I. and wife Tameka Cottle are the latest African-Americans to land in Ghana as part of the ‘Year of Return‘ initiative.
The initiative is to attract diaspora people with Ghanaian or African heritage to make a return.
The 39-year-old American rapper and actor from Atlanta, although received some backlash online for revealing he went to the gynecologist every year with his daughter Deyjah Harris to check if she still was a virgin has been warmly received in the land of cocoa, gold, oil and technology.
The couple with their team were treated to some drumming and dance by a dance ensemble at Terminal 3 of the Kotoka International Airport on Sunday, December 8 upon their arrival.
Already, Ghana’s ‘Year of Return’ Secretariat has indicated that its data for the first nine months of 2019 showed 80,862 more arrivals from the United States of America (USA), Britain (UK) and other key target nations than the figure recorded the previous year.
The figures show that in-bound airport arrivals from the USA increased by 26 per cent (17,455).
And for T.I., his wife and crew visited the Elmina Castle which is also a museum in Ghana’s Central Region – one of the sites which held kidnapped Africans shipped to the Americas and has been a source of sober reflection for many of the diaspora returnees. The pair also were seen in a video having a swell time at a night club with fellow American rapper Cardi B who was in the country on Sunday.
T.I. is regarded as one of the artistes who popularized the hip hop subgenre trap music, along with Jeezy and Gucci Mane.
He has released 10 studio albums, with seven of them reaching the top five of the US Billboard 200 chart. He also has several highly successful singles, including Billboard Hot 100 number one hits “Whatever You Like” and “Live Your Life.”
Harris’ sixth album, Paper Trail (2008), became his most successful project, with the album being certified gold for first-week sales of over 500,000 copies in the United States.
As the festive season beckons, patrons will be spoiled for choice as many more events and shows have been lined up right into January 2020.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.

Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French. Viewers immediately spotted the mistake and took to social media to flag up the glaring error.  Sky Sports with a huge mistake as that is Axel Disasi, not Noni Madueke,' another added, while a third described the gaffe as a 'howler'.
