The 2018 Vodafone Icons train made a stop at the Junction Mall, Nungua to enable the Tema squad have their day in the sun, after the Dansoman and Nima crew had their turn.

The street edition of the most patronized Vodafone Icons event saw eight contestants battle it out at the Junction Mall.

The event witnessed contestants thrill patrons and judges [Samini, Appeitus, and Mz Naa] as fans were entreated to vote massively for their favourite contestants to stay in the competition.

The eight finalists gave the audience sterling and energetic performances as Bogo Blay thrilled fans with his unique style of rap.

Robed in a raffia hat and pink flowered native print, Bogo used the African print ropes as leg and footwear in an Afro Moses style and stunned the gathering with his original content and rap type.

Bogo has mastered the art of rapping in Twi with a Northern Ghana accent. He is a story teller and when in his element, he’s unstoppable and irresistible. It’s easy to see then why Bogo is in his own league.

After his performance, Reggae and Dancehall artiste, Samini, who is one of the judges of the Vodafone Icons, lauded Bogo Blay for his dazzling performance on the night.

Serwa, Nana Abrah, Nii Vanderpuye, Okukudam among others all gave memories worth repeating performance on the night with host Adjetey Anang.
