Namibian radio presenter and Big Brother: The Chase housemate Maria Nepembe says she was shocked to find out that celebrated Dancehall queen Kaakie is Ghanaian and not Jamaican. �I am a radio presenter and I once played her song accidentally; I liked the song so I played it again and again and then kept playing it. It was until she performed at the BBA last week that I saw her and realised she was a Ghanaian. All this while, I thought she was Jamaican. She is good,� Maria said during an interview on GhOne Television. The Namibian radio presenter is not the first entertainment pundit to have mistaken Kaakie for a Jamaican. The singer is an excellent Dancehall artiste whose mane and music is bigger than her face and image even in her home country. Until the beginning of this year, not many Ghanaians had seen a photograph of Kaakie, although her songs are very popular across the country and beyond.She however has started the first quarter of 2013 on a good note after being nominated twice in this year�s Ghana Music Awards and has also released a new video for �Too Much�, her second professional single. Kaakie was nominated for New Artiste of the Year in this year�s awards. She also got nominated for the Best Reggae/Dancehall Song of the Year with her song �Toffee Pon Tongue� (Obolo Obolo).
