The 61-year-old music icon, widely revered as the Grandpapa of Hiplife, squared off against William Nortey Addo in the evening’s marquee exhibition, a matchup that blended entertainment with grit and athleticism. Despite the friendly nature of the bout, Reggie treated the contest with the intensity of a seasoned fighter.
Years of martial arts discipline came to the fore as he matched up against the younger Addo in a contest that tested resilience, reflexes, and ring intelligence. Early in the fight, the veteran appeared to be in trouble.
A well-timed kick from Addo sent him tumbling to the canvas, a moment that sparked collective gasps from the crowd. But just as swiftly, Rockstone sprang back to his feet with remarkable agility, an acrobatic recovery that brought the arena to life with roaring cheers. The opening round saw the entertainer endure a series of close shaves, surviving moments that could have tilted the balance.
The crowd erupted as Rockstone, known offstage as Reginald Yaw Asante Osei, was declared the winner of the night’s most talked-about showdown. Reggie Rockstone was honored with a commemorative plaque, recognizing his significant contribution to the promotion of Mixed Martial Arts in Ghana through the Global Warrior Champions platform. Speaking after the fight, Reggie acknowledged the exhibition nature of the match, adding a humble dose of realism.
Beyond the bravado and ringcraft, the music legend used his spotlight to deliver a heartfelt message to the youth. In a firm but fatherly tone, he cautioned against substance abuse, particularly the rising use of opioids, known locally as ‘Red.’
