“I guess it’s just the lineage I felt Ghana, I felt my civilisation was there and I was there where it began. So, I thank all of you so very much. I always say this is the beginning, [the best part of the rest of my life got to do God’s promised],” he said.
It seems Stevie’s dream has finally come true after he announced in February 2021, during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, his intention to move to Ghana, citing political unrest in the United States.
