Canadian Rapper, Drake To Fly To Ghana?
Leslie Quaynor, founder of Fantasy Entertainment has disclosed that he is working assiduously to bring Canadian rapper, Drake to Ghana.
Leslie made the disclosure on Morning Zoo on Starr 103.5 FM last week Saturday, March 31, 2018.
He further stated that he would like to bring Nicki Minaj and Beyonce as well. However, to fly such personalities here requires a lot. And that one needs to be financially stable and strong to do.
“I’d like to bring Drake, who we’re working on. I’d like to bring Nicki Minaj and Beyonce but you have to have the venue to make it make sense financially.” stated Quaynor to host, George Quaye.
Leslie Quaynor’s company owns the new 20,000 seating capacity venue at the Trade Fair centre. His company also brought American rapper, Rick Ross to perform in Ghana in 2010
