\"D-Black <\/a>D-Black is a Ghanaian musician<\/p>\n

It has been five years since Ghana witnessed one of the most-talked-about award scandal in the country\u2019s entertainment history, the infamous \u2018Global Blueprint Excellence Awards\u2019 organised by Kwame Owusu Fordjour, popular known as \u201cDr UN.\u201d <\/p>\n

In September 2020, the event pulled some of the biggest names in music, media, and academia, including rapper Sarkodie, musician and businessman D-Black, and even the then Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana. <\/p>\n

‘I had a mental break-down but told no one’ – D-Black reveals<\/a> <\/p>\n

All of them walked away that night with what they believed were prestigious international awards. But in a matter of days, the truth came out, the entire scheme was a scam. <\/p>\n

What was packaged as an honour backed by the United Nations turned out to be fake. <\/p>\n

The revelation shook the nation. For weeks, memes, jokes, and endless trolling of the popular victims who had unknowingly participated flooded social media. <\/p>\n

Check out why D-Black has been trending on social media<\/a> <\/p>\n

D-Black, in particular, became one of the most talked-about figures from the scandal after photos of him receiving his award and posing with his \u201chonorary necklace\u201d went viral. <\/p>\n

Now, five years later, the rapper is looking back with humour. <\/p>\n

On August 29, 2025, he responded to a post on X where a user reshared one of the old photos of him with his award. <\/p>\n

D-Black admitted that he still gets flashbacks whenever he sees the suit he wore that night. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe jacket sef I no want see again. E de give me flashback for the wardrobe inside,\u201d he wrote. <\/p>\n

He went on to laugh about the necklace he was made to wear during the ceremony, which he now recognizes as one of the most ridiculous parts of the whole experience. <\/p>\n

\u201cSee some necklace e make dem put for my neck say Honorary award. Me too I accept am wear am. Ei Jesus,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
