Meanwhile, Ja Rule is not the first to build a school in Ghana.
Comedian Michael Blackson in January 2023 commissioned his much talked about academy at Agona Nsaba in the Central Region of Ghana. (New article: Adan Canto, actor known for ‘The Cleaning Lady’ and ‘Designated Survivor,’ dies at 42)

The three-storey “Michael Blackson Academy” complex is fully furnished, completely free, and open to the public.
Also, US-based Magazine Complex in a report stated that back in 2018, Lil Jon teamed up with Pencils for Promise, an organization that builds schools in developing countries like Guatemala, Laos, Nicaragua, and Ghana.
Jon's donation to the program helped build a school that later enrolled 300 children.
