Award winning female Dancehall artiste Kaakie seems to have taken the maternal health conversation to a bigger platform as she dedicated all the awards she won last night at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards to the nearly four thousand (4,000) women that die annually from maternal health related causes. 
Kaakie, who earlier in the year announced her decision to tackle Maternal Health issues through an awareness campaign that will simultaneously run with her 5-city tour on stage, stated that “Maternal health is a serious issue and urged the VGMA audience not to overlook it.”
“Kaakie has been very passionate about Maternal Health and she is never hidden the fact that, it was this passion that compelled her to study nursing specializing in midwifery so she can play her role to ensure cases of maternal health is reduced in the country” Sadeeq Abdulai, her manager added.
Kaakie won the two “Best Reggae/Dancehall Song of the Year” with the hit song “Toffee Pon Tongue” and “Best New Artiste of the Year.” This brings to three (3) the awards she’s garnered so far in her nearly two year career, having won Yfm Ghana’s “Best New Artiste” at the “Loud In GH” concert last year. Meanwhile, she has also been nominated in University of Ghana’s Excellence awards as the “Discovery of the Year”.
She starts her tour next week; May 25th in Tamale and already preparations has started in earnest to ensure a successful event. The tour will be produced by Rackus Productions and her label, Xtra Large Music.
