Vic Mensa is as dedicated to his activism as he is to his music. He’s been using his platform to address the lack of fresh water in parts of Ghana.

According to Helio PR, “a recent study in Ghana indicated that about 60% of water bodies in the area are polluted,” leading to serious health risks for those who drink it.

By now, perhaps you’ve heard that Afrochella, a music festival in Ghana, took its final bow this year. However, Mensa will be part of the lineup for the Black Star Line Festival on January 6, 2023. Open to the public, the festivities will go down in Black Star Square in Accra, the capital city.

Like Afrochella, the Black Star Line Festival centers on Black talent. This year, Mensa will be in good company alongside the likes of Erykah Badu, T Pain, Chance The Rapper and others.

According to the website, “the festival is expected to provide a unique rap and hip-hop vibe that will thrill spectators. It welcomes all diaspora Africans and more.”
