Jamaican dancehall star Popcaan recently made a memorable visit to the historic Cape Coast Castle in Ghana, where he toured the site and reflected on its deep cultural and historical significance.
The celebrated reggae-dancehall artist, known for hits across the Caribbean and Africa, visited the castle accompanied by members of his team. During his time there, he walked through parts of the fortification and paid respect at areas that once held captives during the transatlantic slave trade era.
Cape Coast Castle is one of Ghana’s most important cultural landmarks. It sits on the central coastline and was a major holding site during the Atlantic slave trade. Today the castle is preserved as part of Ghana’s heritage and attracts visitors who seek to learn about the painful history and honour the memory of those who were taken from its walls.
Fans of Popcaan also gathered at the castle to greet the artist and show their support while he explored the site. The visit has been shared widely on social platforms, with many praising his effort to acknowledge his roots and connect with African heritage through the journey.
Popcaan’s trip to Cape Coast Castle adds to his history of engagement with Ghana, where he has previously visited as part of cultural experiences that bridge Caribbean and African traditions
