Her visit to Ghana like most other executions by her has seen people who are directly involved been made to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).

This is similar to when she put Ghanaian dancehall artiste Shatta Wale on her album inspired by the 2019 remake of the popular The Lion King movie titled ‘The Lion King: The Gift’.

Shatta Wale, being very open on the internet kept the news to himself until Queen B made the announcement.

Most of Beyonce fans may not have a chance to see their queen visit the motherland as there is no concert like Cardi B’s visit to Ghana.

Considering the security measures in relation to Cardi B’s visit to Ghana over the weekend, Beyonce’s security detail will be a very difficult one to get through to meet the musician.

However, there will be private meetings and parties for invited guests to interact with Queen B. She is also expected to make a trip to the Cape Coast Castle and have some meetings at the Presidency.

The Ghana Tourism Authority reports having had 750,000 foreign visitors in 2019 despite expecting 500,000 in the year. With a few weeks left to the end of the year Ghana’s tourism authority expects the numbers to rise to 1 million foreign visitors.
