For those wondering why Tulenkey covered his mouth with a masking tape during the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs), the Ghanaian rapper has disclosed the inspiration behind that.
At the event which was held on May 10, 2025, Tulenkey, clad in an all-black suit, had his lips covered with a black tape.
He would not even talk at the event; he only used gestures to communicate after receiving his Best Hiplife Song award.
However, speaking in an interview with 3FM, he said he did that to communicate the lesser attention given to men especially when they are trapped in mental and emotional problems.
“It’s a message. It speaks of what men go through, the inner battles we fight. Because being a man, when you are vulnerable, when you talk about your emotions, you are seen as weak. So they would rather die inside than let it out. The tape symbolised suffering in silence,” he said.
