Ghanaian musician, Wiyaala joined millions in the world in saying goodbye.
Given that the British occupied Ghana in the early 2oth century, Wiyaala’s humanitarian act caused several Facebook users who called her out for honoring her “Slave Master”.
She posted on her Facebook page, stared: HRH Queen Elizabeth II, may you rest in peace. We are thinking of you, The Royal Family of the Uk in Ghana.
Social media users reacting to this, a Facebook user, Areal Hustlers Family punched holes into the singer’s post. His comment read: “Wishing your slave master rest in peace? Ayooo.”
In response, she explained that she doesn’t regard herself as a slave to the British adding that the past doesn’t define her.
“Areal Hustlers Family ours? Well, as for me, it’s all history now. I am not a slave …..I was not born a slave….I will never be a slave to anyone…..the past will never define who I am. We are moving on. What about you?” she quizzed the internet troll. One Sena Brown had this to tell the singer on the same post about the late queen Elizabeth II: “Wiyaala wishing your slave masters well? Maybe you knew not much about how these wicked people did to your ancestors….sorry.”
