Big love❤️❤️
Much love Kevoy. Thanks for giving your time for this interview!
I love this video
Ya know, Jamrock is my first destination when I land!
Blessings bro keep on living the dream
Ooooh! So this is where he is at. Strangely enough I have been thinking to move to Ghana. I guess it's easier to move so far when you know someone in the receiving country.
Children of AFRICA are coming home gratualy, ancestors are so HAPPY now
😂😂😂
ASÉ... MEDAASE TO OUR GREAT ANCESTORS FOR GUIDING US HOME!
I am also British-Jamaican🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 and I am working extremely hard to move to Ghana too. I can't wait, I wish I could move tomorrow. The first time I visited in 2012, I fell in love.💖🇯🇲
"America is a marketing guru", they know how to sell themselves to you. This guy nailed it.
100 % correct. They forget to tell you that it was built on White Supremacy which they're trying hard to keep in tact.
That's one of the reasons why I left after two years. It was an eye opening experience.
African Americans wake up!!! As a British Jamaican spending two years in South Florida it was clear to see the systems that are in place to hold us back!
💯💯💯 I felt in their trap... gave up my good job in Jamaica for a job there only to realize I sold myself into slavery. Spent 15 years but was glad in 2019 when the ancestors took me out and sent me back home. Now they fixing to send me to my true home GHANA 🇬🇭
I had a wish to move to Africa too now I own a home in Kenya but I really want to have a second home in Ghana am not moving back to Jamaica
🤔As children they used to beat us for saying "Eh heh!" in Trinidad. As an adult I came to learn it was a common Ghanaian expression.😃
Yes, you can go far from your roots
Eh heh s3 wahu line no 😂🇬🇭🇬🇭
🇹🇹
It is a typical Ghana exclamation.
As a Jamaican and someone interested in moving to Ghana very very soon I really enjoyed this interview. His laughter is very contagious 😂😂.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
The Ghanian airline industry does not take people to jamaica . so we have to go to america to get the plane, jamaicans who really wants to come to your country just dont have bthe money, we are poor
You know we are Jamaicans. A him laugh weh get me too.
That's our true home my brother. We only born in Jamaica. Our people are from that land.
PROUD ASHANTI HERE
Speak for yourself
That’s right! 👏🏾👏🏾
I just need all our MELANATED people to come back home. We want you and love you
We love you too. Our ancestors will celebrate. 😀😄
WE COMING SIS 💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿
ruclips.net/channel/UCaRU173Fw18iyuxqpiFDFsQ
Thanks for welcoming us.
im cominggg soon sis
GHANA, the gateway to AFRICA.
Welcome home 👌
"GATEWAY" THE EXACT WORDS THE ANCESTORS TOLD ME 💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿
Agreed. By FAR, the easiest place in West Africa to get a visa for Americans. Go see it. Accra is wonderful. Ghana is a great country; very approachable, and wonderful to meet the people. Excellent shopping. Have fun. Welcome home.
im coming home soon😌😌i traced my ancestry and im a descendant of the ashanti tribe
@@Lifestylewithjada Mema wo akye abusua. Initially I traced mine to the Ashanti (not through DNA testing) but as am studying about the Akan, am beginning to see more of the Bono tribe in me. Either way we all Akan abusua.
Have you applied for your free land in Aseby?
@@TheEchoingPen LOL i didnt trace it from the ancestry test,Ancestry test dont show tribes just the countries and regions,but i did a ancestry DNA test a longtime ago and it showed mostly ghana and Nigeria..My grandma is maroon jamaican and shes from the ashanti tribe..I visit ghana a few times after i got the ancestry results and i recently found out im from both the ashanti,akan and igbo tribe based on my features and what the ppl in ghana told me.
No ive not prepared anything as yet to move to ghana yet im tryna make as much money as i can before i relocate to ghana so no land and aseby...Hopefully i get to go by next year i was supposed to relocate this year but i didnt bother bcz of the COVID 19
I love that this young man has moved while he’s young. The camera loves him, such a beautiful smile. I wish him all the luck for the future, may he prosper 3-fold 🙏🏾
He is so right. Jamaicans sing about africa alot but many of their artists dont even come to Africa.
Hypocrisy.
Ole Jamaican laugh. He is very inspiring.
Its hard to leave your homeland and family behind
My dude is very funny 🤣😆
@@african-history-fountain Actually it not, a lot sing about Africa and never say anything about the country unlike African Americans
The sister conducting the interview is very beautiful her melanin is really popping ✨😍
I'm glad that he had a friend to help him if he decided to move that was really sweet
🇯🇲🇬🇭I was just in Ghana with a team of Jamaican🇯🇲 we had the opportunity to meet Kevoy and the Jamrock team who are creating a contagious wave with the service they provides in a tranquil environment, from my experience in Ghana 🇬🇭 I realise the people are very respectful to others, hard working, caring just to mention a few, Ghana has a young population which is good for labour output and country development, overall I'm glad I came and experience Ghana personally while there are things to address I think Ghana is position for greatness, visionary leadership must be at the the forefront for the growth to be a reality.
I am a jamaican who has been going back and forth to Ghana since 1997. I love Ghana, as soon as I retire I want to get a home there. I love my Ghanaian people, I love the food, just don't like the pepper. Big up Ghana.
Kool Yute! Big up to all Ghanaians!🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Jamaicans are very intelligent people. Their are the once who make campaign s for Africa during 80s .stay bless in Ghana
Those parts "we sing about it in..., but they're afraid to come," and " Africa calling me, and they're not coming." True words!
Mama Ghana 🇬🇭 is calling and am answering. Did my application for the Asebu land... am coming HOME 🏡
A divine personality. Very happy young Afrikan from the Caribbean are going home. Especially younger generations changing the narratives.
Was sadden though to hear the level of Classism in Ghana
This guy is lovely, raw, real and straightforward person. Welcome to Africa big man.
You can tell thag he is having a *good time* in ghana he's smiling and laughing all throughout this video 😂😂 I *wish* I could be in ghana as well
He is having pure enjoyment.
Me too, heard so much of Ghana...
He is an actor and getting paid for this interview (I'm sure)..could be just putting on a show.
@@IvyProsper Ivy where can we watch the movie he made called Joseph
@@maks2772 Bad energy go away..
Ur really represent yr homeland well i really love gh
I really enjoyed this interview with Kevoy. Every time I watch a Jamaican being interviewed I feel exceptionally proud that I am a Jamaican. He has a very charismatic and warm personality and he's really "down to earth". My brother and I are planning to visit Ghana as soon as things get back to normal. To be honest, I'm not familiar with Kevoy Burton because I am living in the U.S. but I will always support my Jamaican and Caribbean people whenever I can. Good luck to you both and keep up the positive focus on our motherland Africa. See you soon!
Us Jamaicans are not very far removed from our roots, our ancestral home; it’s only a matter of time before we return home! 🇯🇲
He's right alot of us in the caribbean eat up this false notion about the Motherland at the same time, a lot of us never have interest in the US etc we have interest in Africa, Thank you I'm looking forward to come home
🇯🇲 to di worl' 💥💥💥 I can't wait to set myself up in Ghana. 1 day I'll interview with you Ivy 🙏🏽
Your ticket on me 😀😀😀
Whenever i mon set i foot an the continental Africa i mon nor left 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭💯💯💯❤❤❤🌍🌍🌍
Right when I clicked on this video, I realised and wished Ghana had a good thriving movie industry. Lots of entertainers from the diaspora are coming over and we need this for them to thrive and build upon
Yes but they can build it up together
We used to
THE CALL OF SON'S OF SUN CHILDRENS. OUR CONTINENT IS A PARADIS ON EARTH. MUCH LOVE
Ivy Prosper i am a Jamaican and came to this channel by mistake. I really enjoyed this interview high energy. Now i am seriously planning to go to Ghana . Thanks
Big up. Thanks for watching.
Come back to the motherland y’all.
Respect my brudda Ghana is a lovely place no war no violence just good vibes.
Wow!!! That's great, safe place on earth...
That’s it we as Black people need to look out for each other!!
Maybe you should open a Jamaican grocery store there are many of your people in Ghana.
Good idea.
I understand they have their Jamaica Village in Accra don’t they?
Tbh most foods eaten in JA are so similar to Ghanian food. Rather than a “Jamaican store” just a store that sells diverse foods from Caribbean and the Continent.
@@JackyHapy said same too. The only difference is the jamaican rum. Every other thing is same
@@JackyHapy definitely better phase
I love the way Kevoy laughs,he is happy and enjoying nature
Hi Ivy , fun interview! 😍💕
Tell your guest to look for Deija’s Food Truck 🥘 for his Home food 🍱
She’s also a expatriate from Jamaica 🇯🇲 living in Ghana
Her food truck is on hiatus at the moment. She has travelled to the US for a few weeks.
@@IvyProsper oh okay 😊
Good stuff you got all the filla . 👍🏾
Kevoy's laughter is infectious
Good on you bro.
Watching from Sydney Australia
Keep following your bliss bro.
Bless up...!
I agree about his laughter. He brings such a happy spirit.
I love Jamaicans and I swear ever since I been in the United States, the people who have treated me so well are Jamaican women!!
I vibe so well with them that people don’t even understand why!!
GOD BLESS JAMAICA 🇯🇲 I love Jamaicans
The lady with me on my dp is a Jamaican
I know what you mean. I am a Jamaican living in Canada n I love Ghanians..n they love me💪🏾❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@bizhope007 It is a Natural mystic (we do not have to understand). Same here - I love Jamaicans and vice versa. Our ancestors prayers are working.
❤❤❤✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Love my Jamaican family they are real to the core one love to our Jamaican family I always vibe well with them ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Village people like to get down.
Hahaha,I miss red red,kelewele,& waakye.

Kenkey actually is in Jamaica called Dokunu. The maroon family etc
as well as blue draws & tie leaf 😆
Well dokunu as u said is actually a twi word which means kenkey
@@theloudmouthpodcast8253 Lol! Since when did Kenkey become an English word.
The Dukunu in Jamaica as well as other parts of the Caribbean may have a few retentions from the original Dokunu, like the leaves and the cornmeal component of the dish, but that's about it really. E.g It is more of a desert in the parts of the Caribbean where they have the Dukunu. The Dokunu in Ghana is made out of fermented corn dough wrapped in leaves. However, this is a recipe for the Jamaican Dukunu (there are others with different ingredients):
2 cups cornmeal
1 cup all purpose gluten-free flour
1 1/2 cups cane sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups coconut milk
2 fingers green bananas, peeled and chopped
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup grated coconut, or shredded coconut
1/3 cup raisins, optional
Fresh banana leaves
baker's twine, for tying
We call it dokunu too in twi
I cant wait to move to Ghana !!
Akwaba my brother, I hope to come and see you in 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭in the future. 🇬🇭🇯🇲are so close as a family.
Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲 one love to you mother africa
🇯🇲Bigup Kev, anywhere you standup, sitdown or laydown.
Talent is like oil mixed with water; it always rise to the top.
Ghana, Jamaica love you.
Respect to Stone God ( Stone Boy ) and the Shatta.
I went to ncu with Kevoy we did cheerleading together. I am proud of you! I will be visiting Ghana 2022. I love Africa too and I am Jamaican❤
That's awesome.
I know this young man from University must say I am proud of him. Bold move Kevoy!!! Blessings to you!
Maybe he needs to go to Jamaican Village near ABURI
Bruh, Good for you! 🇯🇲 Hopefully one day .... 🙏🏿 🇭🇹 will make a landing into the motherland too.
He just have so much joy!!!
🇯🇲🤜🏿🤛🏿🇬🇭
He really does.
Brilliant interview. Thank you Kevoy for the insight about your move to Ghana.
I met him while I was in Barbados
That's cool!
Africa is our home!
That's awesome...he truly was a Joseph..now his fam will join him!!!!
I love this! My family are Jamaican and majority of them want to move to Ghana. It's so nice to hear him have the slight Ghanaian mannerisms. 😍😍
He's really enjoying life in Ghana
@@IvyProsper 😊
Ur really promote gh well done keep it up
Those complainers sound like their ancent ones were part of the sellers too so when one break free and come home they are mad of his achievement and talent that one has what about those who came and provide jobs for local ?.Clean your head of badness if you are asking us to come and rebiuld why cry if someone is tapped to do something for the good cry cry baby
So happy to see he has made the move from JA to Ghana. Very smart man. I will be there in May and hope to meet you both soon. Great interview. One love 🙏🏽
Veronica, a fellow Brit Jamaican spoke well about TZ and as a result i visited TZ and KE late last year. She has s8nce moved to Ghana. Now thanx to Ivy, Kevoy and your interest I am now looking to visit Ghana asap. Anothrr fellow J'can friend of mine also living in the US has packed his stuff and will be there before the end of May for good, this after his 1st visit last September (2020). But it cannot be overstated that youtube and all the African vloggers showing us the REAL Africa is causing this massive desire to return to the land of our ancestors. One Love!
Love this interview Ivy. As a Jamaican I am making the move so well pleased with this particular content. Blessings.
Make that move I'm a diaspora in the UK and I am planning to go back to Ghana also the west is not for us
WELCOME HOME BROTHER .
ima Ghanaian ...I love Jamaicans so much..where can I find my Jamaican Queen?? 😀🇬🇭🇯🇲
I want to go so bad...
@@dtaylor2394 Are you a Jamaican lol
I'm a Jamaican living in Canada and I wish to visit Ghana so badly.
@@KimFert that's Amazing welcome home bloody😊..you gon love it here..and not return anymore 😀. Hey can we exchange contact if ya don't mind? Jovialbaffour@yahoo.com
@@baffourjah4319 101%
He really looks Ghanaian.
Most Jamaicans are from Ghana
very nice interview continue to have deep respect for their culture and shine your light, I will be there soon too.
I want to move to Jamaica 🇯🇲
We have been saying for years we want to come home to Ghana 🇬🇭 but we not buying land in our country... and the ancestors brought us free land in Asebu. Did our application now waiting to finalize the process then we coming HOME! We love Jamaica 🇯🇲 but Ghana is home.
I'm very happy see you Guys coming home, U Guys can help to bring Ghanaian youth talent up I'm very happy Thank U.
Great interview! Kevoy's energy is fantastic.
And he's always like this. I love it!!
Is good to hear news like this am happy come back home African children's
Im impressesd+inspired!!jamaica to di world...i needed to sight"this video....i and i mind made UP"....up you mighty race!!!🙏
I truly enjoyed this interview. With such great and warming personality, no wonder why he's prospering in Ghana. Much love and success to you Kevin Burton.
He's full of life😊
It's ironic. The Jamaicans I know and I am Jamaican have always had an enlightened view of the continent. I dont know many people who have subscribed to the pot belly theory.
I and I dont mix with educated ignoramuses
Brilliant interview Ivy. The setting, pacing, questions and chemistry between you. Expected to watch only a few minutes until a later time but you held me from go until the end. Big up!!!
Glsd you enjoyed it.
This guy has learned about Ghana and I am happy that he loves it. AKWAABA
Now there's more Caribbean's in Ghana including celebrities. Plans for "beyond the return" should include the direct flight routes to Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana and Brazil . Please, please Ivy let the Tourism board and the president Akufo Addo to get Ghana airways back plus ensure direct flight to the Caribbeans . To make it easy. Especially make it easier for Ghanaian nurses recruited to Barbados to visit families. Direct flights will definitely help. This should happen before their term of office end.
Direct flights with airlines is much more complicated than people realize. It's not necessarily about the governments but mostly the airlines.
There is no Ghana Airways anymore.
There will be a direct flight from Accra to Montego Bay, Jamaica on March 31st. This is the very first time. It's a chartered flight. Watch my Livestream video where I interviewed the woman responsible for this historic flight.
I will share the link with you here:
ruclips.net/video/5nV8C4uZqRg/видео.html
i am a Jamaican and i would love to visit too
You should.
You are so right about Ghanaians being Shy and timid. You’ve gotten the Ghana people down to a “T”. I grew up in NYC with lots of Jamaicans so I know all about their straight forwardness . Tho Ghanaian, most people think I’m Jamaican
Wow this brother is very positive!!
Really want to visit Ghana and maybe move there in the future
When i think of Africa i cry very much our ancestors 😢are longing for us,
Ivy , My heart is full. My Jamaican brother has crystalized the reasons Ghana is a place to.be. i am definitely looking to be there now. One love from.the diaspora.
Ghana and africa to the world
Nice interview lvy, kevoy welcome home.
Thanks. He is really feeling the warm welcome.
More power to you my friend, by moving to Ghana. I'm moving back to the Caribbean (DOMINICA) after living in this marketing Guru country for over 40 years.
Hello, what country is the marketing guru country?
@@mahalallel2012 Good old USA.
Come we build better Africa for future generation
Ivy, Ivy, Ivy, this is a great interview...
Thanks, Ivy, for the timely and engaging interview. Kevoy seems like an inspiring youth.
I'd like to say something on a note of caution, however: We Jamaicans should make sure that we have a positive influence on Ghana, and only a positive influence. Immediately involving ourselves in risque TV programming seems like a borderline questionable way to reconnect with our Motherland. We must ask ourselves, are we representing Jamaica, or are we being just another purveyor of Western TV culture?? 🤔 Let's be patient and temperate, and take the opportunity to *learn* from Ghanaian traditions while we're there! Anyway, here's hoping that from now on, we find ways to re-learn and continue our traditions well into the future, for the benefit of subsequent generations. 🇬🇭🌅
Wonderful interview. Jevon, I am so happy for you bro.!!!
I'm coming to Ghana soon the thing is to get me back to the west on way I'm not going back 🙏🏾
I’m save my money to come to Ghana 🇬🇭
Great and enjoyable interview Kevoy is really cool!💯🥳🌹
Very inspirational as usual Ivy! But I still have a grudge with with you for not liking Kenkey🤣🤣🤣.
😂😂😂At the kenkey comment 🤣🤣
@Fred Nonterah pls allow wai Kenkey is not for everyone.
My bro Vincent though born in Ghana don't like Kenkey & fufu.
@@williamgamelisenaya793 Hahaha. It’s my favorite and I can eat everyday. That’s why I get so defensive about it. But it’s all fun and games. Have a great weekend!
@@frednonterah8535 I know right
You have an awesome weekend too.
Bless up
@@williamgamelisenaya793 If I made kenkey, I am sure Ivy would love it. There is or are slight changes that can be made in the recipe to make it delicious and easy to swallow. For example, how many use grated sweet potato in addition to the other ingredients?
We love brother Kevoy! Good people!
Yes he's good people
Blessed
will be him
lucky man i just got married and i would like to get out but regular working couple dont have as much liquid cash to jump up and go with
Mama Ghana 🇬🇭 is calling and we answering. Did our application for the Asebu land... we coming HOME 🏡. Bringing our expertise in construction development and my herbalism gift. We coming to build up our home 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭.
Oh I know you are one of us..Enjoy Ghana 🇬🇭
No offense but I'm confused because most part of Africa is way developed than Jamaica and still yet people there have negative perceptions of Africa for I've been to Jamaica it's just Amazing
We been so brainwashed, to believe
all the negative things about Africa .1 ❤💯 my melanated people, we don't need to burn our skin in the Sun. Sun 🌞 worshippers are dieing to have your beautiful skin. Stay strong 💪 my people.
We all watch western television. That's the problem
I know. I'm from Nigeria, and when I worked in the UK, some Jamaicans used to look down on me because I was Nigerian. Little did they know that my country has multiple large cities with skyscrapers and modern facilities a 100 times more than Jamaica. It was pretty sad to see. But I'm over it. My wife is from Jamaica, we've been there lots of times, and the people are great and down to earth.
Its just colonial brainwashing, plain and simple.
"No offense but I'm confused because most part of Africa is way developed than Jamaica". As big as Africa may be, the GDP per capita is actually higher in Jamaica than most countries in Africa. Having said Jamaica is not a "rich" country compared to the west. The reason why some Jamaican's have a negative perception of Africa is for the same reasons people in other countries have a negative perception of Africa.
The world sees Sub-Sahara Africa as a place with extreme famine, where people have to walk 50 miles to find a disease infested well. Unfortunately that's the image of Africa. Even to this day the only image people see on TV about countries in Sub Sahara Africa, is usually one of 3 things, poverty, safaris and Africans on dingy boats trying to reach Europe. Countries on other continents have ads about white sandy beaches, snow resorts and mega cities, etc. So it should come as no surprise that anyone thinks Africa is undeveloped. Social media is slowly changing this narrative but there is still a long way to go.
Good move brother 🇯🇲
Greetings Sister Ivy
First of all enough respect to our kings and queens from 🇯🇲that are settling in 🇬🇭
Am so proud of our kings and queens from 🇯🇲that even have their own community of Jamaica Village.
Africans from 🇯🇲and 🇬🇭are the same bloods in terms of food and folk stories and even spirituality and languages.
Ivy, when I first came to 🇬🇭forty two years ago, I was meant to see Tarzan and famine but all I saw was schools markets traffics etc.
Africans wherever we are come home and it doesn’t have to be 🇬🇭it can be anywhere in our mama land anywhere!
Such a beautiful interview
Thanks.
@@IvyProsper You welcome
Nice interview, you can cook your own Jamaican food.
