‘Posti Me’ song is creating problems for men- Akwaboah Jr reveals

Highlife musician Akwaboah Jnr has revealed that his song Posti Me is creating problems for men. According to him, a lot of men are not happy about the song because they claim they cannot proudly post their partners on social media.“I did a challenge on social media asking the guys to post their girlfriends in a video and send it to me via my social media handles and to my surprise no guy was bold enough to post his lady. That should tell you that they are not cool with the song.”“Imagine what the song is saying to a man who has three or four women. How can such a man post one woman out of the three or four? One guy called me complaining that I shouldn’t have done that song because it was going against him,” he told Kwaku Manu on his Aggressive Show posted on YouTube on Monday, August ...
