“I was about to travel to abroad precisely the USA for a show but because of my decent appearance the embassy didn’t believe that I was a rapper at that time,” he told Amansan Krakye.

He added, “When I went for the Visa interview they simply couldn’t believe that a whole musician who is famous wouldn’t have earrings and tattoos and some crazy kind of hairstyle to prove myself”.

Tordia Tsikago who is famously remembered for his beef in the 90s with Ex Doe disclosed that it was after been denied the Visa that he decided to do dreadlocks.

“They didn’t believe that a rapper would have looks like a pastor so they actually denied me the Visa to travel to the USA for the show I was invited to perform,” he said on Kastle FM in Cape Coast.

“So it was after that Visa denial, that I decided that I had to look artistic like a musician that’s how come I started doing my dreadlocks to fit what I was doing as at that time,” he revealed.
