Memphis, who was born to a Ghanaian father and a Dutch mother, has made it a point to return to the West African country every summer in the past few years to reconnect with his roots while also embarking on philanthropic works.

He has also met with Ghana's President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo and the Asantehene, King of the Asante Kingdom, Otumfour Osei Tutu II.
