Blakk Rasta criticises Salifu Amoako over 'above the law' viral video claims

Reggae artiste and media personality Blakk Rasta has criticised Archbishop Salifu Amoako for comments made in a resurfaced viral video.

In the video, Salifu Amoako can be seen boasting about driving without a licence or number plate, claiming that no police officer would dare arrest him without risking their job. He went as far as to say he could have officers dismissed if they attempted to detain him.

These remarks have resurfaced amidst allegations that the Archbishop’s son recently collided with another vehicle, resulting in two fatalities.

Blakk Rasta has spoken out strongly against the Archbishop's comments. Salifu Amoako doesn't have any education. He doesn’t have a classmate… He has never sat in a classroom. He learned everything on the street, he said. He added, But there's natural wisdom outside formal education. I expected that a man of God would have that.

Blakk Rasta also criticised the notion of being “above the law,” arguing, If you claim that no policeman can stop you from breaking the law, it doesn’t make you a Superman. It only means you live in a lawless country and that you are lawless yourself. If I were part of that congregation, I would walk out.

Furthermore, Blakk Rasta condemned certain teachings by some religious leaders, which, according to him, promote the idea that wealth can be achieved solely through prayer, without hard work.

He stated, “These are the people who preach that God will make you rich without working. Just get up and pray. What prayer can do for you, work can never do for you.”
