Even after being widely condemned for praising slavery, Kumasi-based musician Derrick Osei Kuffour Prempeh, better known as Kofi Jamar, does not appear to be backtracking.

After apologizing to Africans and anyone else who may have been harmed by his contentious tweet about slavery and colonization, he continues to tout its benefits to Africans.

Africans and blacks in general, according to Jamar, are now civilized and making enormous contributions to the world as a result of the lighter side of slavery, which is the introduction of slaves to education and migration.

He explains in a tweet spotted by Modernghana News that while he does not support slavery, the better side is worth praising.

“Africans/ Blacks are the cradle of civilization and needed to be scattered across to impact the world as we see today.

"America is a superpower and blacks helped build that country,” he said.

He stressed that “just think about it for a sec. I’M NOT JUSTIFYING SLAVERY but just taking the good out of it.”

In his earlier controversial tweet, he wrote, “People will kill me for this, but our ancestors really knew what they were doing when they sold Most Africans into slavery, The is a great impact on the world as we see today. I swear we wouldn’t have had the likes of the Blues, RnB , Rock and Roll, Rap Music, Hiphop Music.”

“Etc . Blacks have benefited and impacted the world a lot in so many ways due to that migration. Shhh we wouldn’t have had the likes of Jay z, Lebron, Michael Jackson , Kanye West , Virgil abloh and a whole lot you can mention,” he added.
