Renowned American rapper Ja Rule recently announced his forthcoming venture into philanthropy by revealing plans to build a school in Ghana. Using the X platform (formerly Twitter), the artist shared his excitement about the upcoming project while withholding specific details such as the project’s commencement date and the exact location within Ghana. Ja Rule expressed eagerness to visit the country to initiate the groundbreaking for this educational initiative.
This philanthropic effort was part of Ja Rule’s recent announcements, which included signing a potentially lucrative record deal and an upcoming European tour. While detailing his plans for the school in Ghana, the rapper did not disclose further specifics regarding the project.
However, Ja Rule isn’t the first celebrity to contribute to educational infrastructure in Ghana. Comedian Michael Blackson successfully established the “Michael Blackson Academy” in January 2023 in Agona Nsaba, Central Region, Ghana. The three-story academy, fully furnished and open to the public, stands as a testament to Blackson’s commitment to education.
Moreover, in 2018, Lil Jon collaborated with Pencils for Promise, an organization dedicated to building schools in developing countries. His contribution facilitated the construction of a school in Ghana, providing education to 300 children.
Celebrity initiatives to support education in Ghana continue to make a meaningful impact, with Ja Rule’s upcoming school project adding to the growing list of efforts aimed at providing quality education opportunities in the country.
