Dave Chappelle Arrives in Ghana for The Black Star Line Festival

Dave Chappelle Arrives in Ghana for The Black Star Line Festival

Published Wed, January 4, 2023 at 11:06 AM EST

Chance The Rapper and Vic Mensa's Black Star Line Festival launched in Ghana this week and Talib Kweli shared footage of Dave Chappelle's arrival.

Chappelle is participating in a round of conversations with Chance ahead of the performances. Dave was shown puffing a cigar and dancing with a group of African dancers sent by the Diaspora Affairs at the Office of the President. Chance The Rapper, Vic Mensa, Erykah Badu, T-Pain, Jeremih, Sarkodie, Tobe Nwigwe, and others are scheduled to perform on January 6 inside Accra's Black Star Square.

Chance The Rapper spoke earlier this year about the need to connect with fans globally. "When Vic and I started our careers and started touring, we did shows all over the U.S.," Chance said in a statement. "Eventually we started touring in Europe [and] we did shows in Asia, South America, Central America, but we never had a chance to play our music for the people who support us the most. When we came here and touched down and felt the love that we received and the fans that we got to connect with, the understanding for the need for the connection became apparent to us. We need a music festival bringing major artists to Ghana. This is what we’re working to create.”
