Popular American rapper and actor T.I (also known as T.I.P) and his lovely wife Tameka Cottle Harris have arrived in Ghana as part of the Year of Return initiative championed by the Tourism Ministry.
The rapper born Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. touched down at the Terminal 3 of the Kotoka International Airport amidst drumming and dancing at 1 pm.
Lots of African-Americans in the diaspora have booked their tickets to visit Ghana to retrace their family roots and to experience the life and culture of people.
The Year of Return, Ghana 2019 is an initiative of the government of Ghana that is intended to encourage African diasporans to come to Africa (specifically Ghana) to settle and invest in the continent.
It was formally launched by the President of the Republic of Ghana Nana Akufo-Addo in September 2019 in Washington, D.C. as a program for Africans in the diaspora to unite with Africans.
Its year, 2019, is symbolic, as it commemorates 400 years since the first enslaved Africans touched down in Jamestown, Virginia in the United States.
