Waakye in a Jar or better known as JahWaakye has been trending for a few days now and the face behind this novelty has finally been revealed.

It’s been revealed that the brain behind the ‘waakye in jars’ is none other than Ghana’s hiplife grandpapa Reggie Rockstone.

Reggie credited with the innovation has apparently been running the waakye business with his wife for years at his Cantonment base with the brand name ‘RockzWaakye’.

Responding to the trend of questions raised by many lovers of the delicacy, Reggie took to Twitter to humorously allay their fears saying, “Fear not my fellow Ghanaians”.

He further explained saying, the package is only for hotels and export as well as any person who may desire it.

“This is not for you who like your Rockzwaakye as we gave!” he stated. “This is an innovation that has hit the bank account so smile! Yours is same but this na deal! No plastic and very environmentally dope! Hotels n our fam outside and for you who want it so.”

According to the hiplife grandpapa, he sells about 300 packs of waakye daily and touts to have personalities like Sarkodie, Iddris Elba patronize his services.

“Waakye is my brand. The waakye has been my food since my upbringing…My mother even made a video explaining how waakye was introduced into my life. So, waakye has been in my life from infancy…We’re trying to make it international”, he said on Nkonkonsa TV.

“This has been the biggest so far. In fact, we have broken records. We have never sold this much ever before. We are moving as much as 300 packs of waakye day”.
