Jamaican dancehall artist Popcaan, whose real name is Andrae Hugh Edwards, was honored Wednesday as Nana Arkoh Kese I and Aboafohen—meaning ‘chief helper’—of the Apagyahen Division in Ghana’s Central Region.

While fans celebrated the cultural reconnection, some questioned Popcaan’s ties to Asebu and whether such honors dilute traditions, with defenders noting these are development chief roles.
