Ghanaians on social media have thrown their weight behind an unexpected announcement from American rapper, Meek Mill.

The award-winning hip-hop artiste on Saturday expressed his interest in buying a property in Ghana as he would not want to "dedicate my whole life to the American lifestyle I been living."

According to him, the move will help him "feel that experience with my family as another option in life!"

I want to buy a property in Ghana where do I start? A nice house ..I need to feel that experience With my family as another option in life! I don’t wanna dedicate my whole life to the American lifestyle I been living.. the odds are too stacked against us it feels like!

The tweet which has since gone viral - especially among Twitter users in Ghana - has sparked varied opinions.

With a widely-acclaimed reputation of being warm hosts, the social media users proffered suggestions ranging from hospitality to cities in the country best-suited for the rapper among others.

East Legon, airport residential, cantoments, trasaco, osu, and Laboni are some of the amazingly good and central locations in Accra! Africa is so where it’s at. it awaits you with open arms! Ghana would love your vibe and overall presence. See you in 21.

Why is everyone telling him to go to Nigeria. He said he was going to GHANA. So move on. Y’all are so bitter for what?? Who cares where in Africa he goes, all African countries are beautiful. But he decided on Ghana so let it be.

When Barack Obama wanted to speak to the whole of Africa, he came to Ghana. Now it’s meek that wants to buy a property and reside in Ghana.

The Gate way to Africa indeed ❤️
