R2BEES ARE NOT MUSLIMS – MANAGER TALKS ON THE STAR BEER DEAL & MORE

R2Bees have enjoyed much of 2013 more than every artiste in Ghana including been crowned the Artiste Of The Year Award at the Ghana Music Awards’13. Last week, reported that R2Bees have signed a deal with Star Beer worth $200,000 which people have been asking questions relating to their religious norms with signing to an alcoholic company.

In the Islamic religion, Alcohol is Haram and those who practice the religion are not allowed to do or take anything related to it. In an instance like that of Frederic Kanoute, He refused to wear his team’s kit because it was sponsored by a betting company.

Speaking With SkyFM’s Ike Frimpong On His Loud In Gh radio show on Saturday, The manger of the group denied reports that, the members of the group were Muslims and should have rejected the deal.

He Said;

No member of R2Bees is a Muslim and so nobody should relate that to them not signing the deal
He went on to speak about their chances on the nominations as the Best African Act in the Upcoming Headies 2013 happening in Nigeria. He hinted that the group had a chance to pick up the award although they are going against music giants in Africa like Sarkodie, Mafikizolo, Liquid Deep And Micasa. The manager talked about how far their song “Slow Down” Which featured Wizkid has gone through the shores of Africa and beyond.

Speaking On The Revolution II Album sales, He lamented on the poor sales of cds but said the album did great on iTunes. When asked what was in stock for the fans of R2Bees, The manger spoke about the R2Bees condoms and other products they will be putting on the shelves for them. He also promised good music and more collaborations from the group.
We wish them well in all their endeavors.
