​ Ras Kuuku believes that Sarkodie’s manager Angel Town is the one to be blamed for Sarkodie’s refusal to respond to colleagues. “For me straight forward I will say it’s Angel. It’s Angel who is blocking people from reaching Sarkodie. Me myself I’ve sent songs to them and Angel has blocked them. He doesn’t tell Sarkodie what to do but he blocks the songs from reaching Sarkodie,”  he said.

​ For a long time, museums refused to present archaeological finds that were considered obscene. In this context, museums have assessed the objects themselves by developing their own taxonomy. In the excavation sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum, numerous archaeological artifacts were discovered that were classified as pornographic.

For years, the particularly erotic exhibits could only be found in the  Secret Cabinet. This section of the museum had been closed since 1821. In 1849 even the door was bricked up.

You can also admire the shepherd god Pan having sex with a goat. In today's world, most exhibits can hardly be considered so disgraceful as to be unsuitable for the eyes of in...
