The most common things a person can identify a rapper or an artist, in general, is the number of tattoos they draw on their body and their pierced ears. The artist has however shared an ordeal that happened at the US embassy some years ago.
“I was about to travel abroad precisely the USA for a show but because of my decent appearance the embassy didn’t believe that I was a rapper at that time,” he told Amansan Krakye.
He added, “When I went for the Visa interview, they simply couldn’t believe that a whole musician who is famous wouldn’t have earrings and tattoos and some crazy kind of hairstyle to prove myself”.
Tordia would be remembered for his music clash with rapper Ex-Doe in the 90s. He was one of the young artists who beefed with rapper Ex-doe in his peek.

“They didn’t believe that a rapper would have looked like a pastor so they actually denied me the Visa to travel to the USA for the show I was invited to perform,” he said on Kastle FM in Cape Coast.
“So it was after that Visa denial, that I decided that I had to look artistic like a musician that’s how come I started doing my dreadlocks to fit what I was doing at that time,” he revealed.
