Ghanaian radio personality Blakk Rastor has chimed in on the conversation surrounding Ashanti King Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and his presumed Freemason involvement.
According to Blakk Rastor, Ashantehen Otumfuo does not need to associate with the Freemasons for the reason that he is a recognized King.
Blakk Rasta believes that, despite the Asantehene’s membership in the fraternal organization, he should adhere to wearing traditional attire while allowing other members to wear the Freemason suits, thus preserving the kingdom’s reputation.
Blakk Rasta further advised that those close to Otumfuo should advise him against wearing Freemason suits or any non-traditional attire at public events.
“Why should you dress in a suit, let alone a Freemason suit? You being the king of the Ashanti kingdom is not a joke. Freemason is a powerful ancient entity. Do we know what it means to say you would dress in a Freemason suit? I think it’s a disgrace. I’m not happy about this as a Pan-Africanist, a man who loves the culture of our great ancestors.
“I think Asante people should start speaking with Otumfuo about this. I wouldn’t even have too much of a problem if you had worn your Kente and in your palanquin. Let the other Freemasons wear their Freemason garments,” he said during the UrbanBlend show on 3FM.
Blakk Rasta’s comments followed Asantehene’s revelation that he had been a Freemason for 25 years, coinciding with his tenure on the Golden Stool.
On May 25, 2024, Freemasons from Ghana, West Africa, and beyond convened to honour Otumfuo’s 25th anniversary as Asantehene.
The gathering was a tribute to the monarch, known in the Grand Lodge as Most Worshipful Bro Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, marking his dual 25th anniversary as both an Asantehene and a Freemason.
Otumfuo, the Grand Patron of the Grand Lodge of Ghana, reflected on his association with Freemasonry during his speech.
“Twenty-five years ago, my initiation into Freemasonry took place. Joining any society or club naturally leads one to contemplate the potential benefits or limitations,” he stated.
