Hajaratu Bangura, popularly known as Pinkee Pinkee, a rap prodigy in the east of Freetown has been nominated for the category of ‘Young Female Artist of the Year’in the third edition of the East-end National Award Ceremony 2022.
Pinkee’s nomination came after gaining so much attention from the public with her unique talent in music. Recently in a talent competition where participants competed in music, rap, painting, poetry and public speaking organized by Radio Fry-Fry, she was crowned winner for the category of ‘Best Music’ among other participants.
According to Pinkee, her passion for music is as strong as her passion for education.
“I am in primary 3 this year after I graduated in 6th position from primary 2. Entertainment has not disturbed my education, so I am encouraging all parents to support their kids in whatever talents they may have. Talent is a gift, so our parents should allow us make use of it. I was not nominated by this Organization because of my name, but because of my talent which my parent not only discovered but supported,” she said.
