The stunning loss of popular rapper Takun J and gospel musician Kanvee Adams who advocated against corruption, injustice and other societal ills through their songs came as a shock to many people, who are still wondering how it happened. Jonathan Koffa, the Hipco rapper commonly known as Takun J, contested in District #8 and Kanvee Adams in District #6, Montserrado County. This is because both Takun J and Kanvee Adams ran poor campaigns that did not really relate to the people. Takun J failures to do so broke his strong connection with the youth, who this gone election constituted the highest voting population, but mostly live in abject poverty. Lastly, the police raids in ghettos where Takun J had gone to campaign – which his opponents used to make the people believe Takun J was just not there to the campaign, but to use drugs, and his alleged arrest with drugs, harmed his campaign.
