Exactly one year ago today—the Supreme Court of Ghana issued a groundbreaking ruling that would echo far beyond its borders: a ban on celebrities from advertising and endorsing alcoholic beverages. The blockbuster ruling came after music manager Mark Darlington Osae filed a complaint against Ghana’s Food and Drugs Authority (FDA). The court’s decision has been celebrated by public health advocates as a giant step in protecting Ghanaian youth from harmful products. However, its effects have unleashed a tsunami of concerns within the creative industry and among businesses across the West African nation.
