A fan who thought the word “Empawa” was a Ghanaian word, criticized Mr Eazi for choosing a “Ghanaian word for his new distribution instead of going with something more Nigerian which is the land of his parents.
“You name a distribution “Empawa”, a Ghanian word in place of your fathers land. lol, you can aswell call your self “Gyan Easy”,lets know u have sold your birth right.” the fan jabbed.
Mr Eazi then explained to the fan what empawa really means and called the fan out for his inappropriate remarks.

“Lol Empawa is my form of spelling the word Empower! And even if its a Ghanaian word so what? Na your own? The earlier you understand that Unity is strength especially for Us Black people the better for you! Say no to xenophobia, tribalism & all the yamayama that divides us!”
