Ghana Jollof

In the mid-2010s when the competition among West Africans about whose Jollof rice was better, expanded into the "Jollof Wars".[7] The "Jollof War" competition is especially prominent between Nigeria and Ghana.[8][9][10] In 2016 Deborah Vanessa Owusu-Bonsu released "Ghana Jollof", which poked fun at the Nigerian version and at Nigerians for being proud of their version.[11]

Personal life

She dated rapper Medikal for three years, before breaking up in 2018.[12][13] Shortly after she introduced one David as her new partner but shortly after that relationship ended. After that turn of events, the uncle Obama hit-maker revealed in an interview that she is done with men.[1]
