So far GhanaCelebrities.Com has published stories of about 5 different women alleging to have been sexually assaulted or raped by KKD (Kwesi Kyei Darko)—and yesterday, we mentioned Malaka Grant as another Ghanaian women claims when she was 12 years old, KKD asked her out on a date but her mother rescued her from this “predator”.

Few hours into KKD’s arrest, GhanaCelebrities.Com broke the story that a certain Ghanaian woman called Malaka Grant and two others (Sonia Lee and Mama Pearl) were alleging that KKD sexually assaulted them (the two) and Malaka posted that KKD tried taking her on a date when she was just 12 years old.

Later in the day, 2 more Ghanaian women contacted us—one who currently lives in Germany, now a mother alleged KKD raped her at Achimota when she was only 16 years old and the other claims KKD sexually assaulted her in his office near Tetteh Quarshie when she was 14 years. Interestingly, the latter had commented using the username-Leeta about KKD messing with young girls of 14 and 16 years about a year ago on GhanaCelebrities.Com under a KKD article—but we took no notice at the time.

Malaka Grant is now a mother, a blogger/writer and before telling her story, she explained why today she has decided to come out—joining the other women who have found the strength out of a 19-year old’s courage to expose KKD.

Displacing all doubts as to having other motive behind telling her KKKD the predator story, Malaka Grant wrote;

“Note: I am writing this post today with the understanding that several things are going to happen, because we’re dealing with the Ghanaian public, and it is a citizenry that excels in hypocrisy and assumptions. Ghanaian attitudes about rape are right out of an 18th century Russian melodrama: hardly factual, deferring to the strength and rights of men, and not progressive in the least. A woman literally has to be kidnapped, beaten and gang raped for the act to be considered sexual assault. Outside of that, she was asking for it.

Before any of you descends into my comments section with your theories about why I’m writing this today, know that I am debt free. I am not seeking pecuniary tributes for telling this tale. I am an author, and I write for a core audience, not for the masses. I’m not “trying to sell books”. I’m not writing this because I need new followers on Twitter. What for? In fact, the sort of attention this article is going to bring me is hardly inviable. I’m not a celebrity. I’m a mom, a wife, and on the night KKD asked me out on a date, I was someone’s 12 year old daughter”.

Malaka Grant in her tell-all story wrote that;

“In the coming days, within your own circles, you will hear several women tell their stories about their encounters with KKD. Like most powerful men in Ghana, he is a predator and he feels he has the right to any woman – no matter her age – when and where he wants her. The reason KKD is in the news today is because he wanted a 19 year old girl and took her in a hotel toilet. That could have been me, but I had a mother who was not having it. At all.

People in his circle know he’s nasty, just like people in R. Kelly’s circle knew he was nasty, just like people know the Rev. Jesse Jackson is nasty. (One day I’ll tell you about his shenanigans down here in the A.) However, y’all still buy R Kelly’s music and many of you reading will accuse me of ‘judging’ KKD.”

Now this is what she wrote about what happened between her and KKD, the “predator”.

“In the 1990’s Kwasi Kyei Darkwah (alias KKD) was arguably the best DJ on Ghana radio. His tagline, to wit, was “KKD – the finest”. He spoke the best English, played the newest and hottest tunes and had a voice made for radio. From the most impressionable third grader to the cool kids in Uni, listening to KKD’s program was the height of everyone’s day.

The 90’s were a boom time for Blacks on the Continent and in the Diaspora. As a race and within our specific cultures, we were making inroads with music and fashion. Hip hop was now well established with acts like Wreckx-n-Effect, Naughty by Nature, Queen Latifah, Biggie and Pac dominating the charts. There was a connection between African American music and African clothing. As a pre-teen, nothing filled me with more pride than seeing Queen Latifah in Nefertiti earrings and a towering crown trimmed in kente cloth. Likewise, Ghanaian kids were learning to rap and doing so with their best (and very fake) American accents.
