Singer and rapper, Dr Cryme has criticized the Food and Drugs Authority’s (FDA) ban on celebrity alcohol advertisements which the Supreme Court recently approved.

The ‘Kill Me Shy’ hitmaker, thinks that it’s discriminating for the FDA to ban celebrities but rather allow strangers or foreigners to endorse alcoholic products.

“After preventing or banning celebrities from endorsing alcoholic products then it should have also applied to foreigners or strangers doing such adverts,” he said on Cape Coast-based Property FM.

“But you are banning your citizens who pay taxes to the country and tell strangers to come and do the same adverts you want the youth to stay away from.

“Proverbially, it is said that even if the two sides of the same group don’t agree on issues, it doesn’t mean we should allow outsiders to come and take our benefits away,” he stated during an interview.

“So whilst you are banning the celebrities from making genuine income from endorsements, some might look elsewhere to make money and if we don’t take care it might be through illegal means,” Dr Cryme cautioned.
