Multi-award-winning Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie’s son Michael Nana Yaw Owusu Addo Jnr, popularly known as MJ, courted attention after photos of him and his classmates at a school event surfaced on social media.
Sarkodie’s son’s school, Tema International School recently shared a series of photos from a special event they held on their campus, Our Family Day Celebration on social media.
The photos showed MJ and the other kids in his class engaging in cultural activities alongside their parents, grandparents and teachers in a big auditorium for educational purposes.
The Our Family Day Celebration event was organised as part of the school’s Unit of Inquiry on Migration, Culture, and Play initiative to bring young learners, parents, and grandparents together to share stories, traditions, and various experiences.
In one of the photos, Sarkodie’s son wore a beautifully designed African print short-sleeved shirt with a pair of trousers and New Balance sneakers as he, his classmates and teachers performed a cultural dance to the sounds created by some local drummers.
Michael Nana Yaw Owusu Addo Jnr was later spotted seated in a small chair with two male colleagues, who also wore traditional attires and beads, playing Ludo game with an elderly individual. The young boy rolled the dice while his colleagues raced their tokens from start to finish on the Ludo board.
Many grandparents were also spotted showcasing their traditional culture in front of the children at the event inside the premises of Tema International School.
MJ’s participation in the Our Family Day Celebration event was his second involvement in a school activity that provided him with an education and exposure to the various cultures in Ghana in recent times.
The young boy, his classmates and the teachers from Tema International School recently visited the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, at the Ga Traditional Council, located within the Ga Mantse Palace in Kaneshie, Accra.
The school kids interacted with the Ga Mantse and members of his traditional inside the room and took both individual and group photos with him.
The visit, organised by the administrators of the school was aimed at providing the students with knowledge about the rich Ga history, traditions and leadership.
MJ and his classmates were also gifted free souvenirs including school bags by the first runner-up of the 2023 edition of Ghana’s Most Beautiful beauty pageant and brand ambassador Naa Ayeley Hammond on behalf of the Ga Traditional Council.
