Ghanaian rapper Pope Skinny has made an unexpected career shift to truck driving in the United States, citing financial constraints as the primary reason for his decision.
In a viral video, he noted that while entertainers in Ghana can achieve success through hit songs, endorsements, and performances, they often lack long-term financial plans and pension schemes, which can lead to financial struggles for many veterans in the industry.
“I’m proud to be a truck driver in America because it pays my bills,” he stated. “It’s a job I wouldn’t take on in Ghana, but since nobody knows me here, I’m fine with it. It provides me with financial stability.”
Further , Pope Skinny emphasize that to ensure his future stability, he took up truck driving—a job he never thought he would consider in Ghana.
