Richard Bona has thrown away his Canal D’Or Award into a bin!
The Cameroonian music icon posted a picture of his discarded trophy in a trash can on his Facebook page on May 23. He went ahead to caption the image, “Go trash!!! Anything that doesn’t make sense is thrown away.”

Richard Bona won a Canal D’Or Award in 2009 for ‘Best World Music Artist’ and was sent his trophy while residing in the USA. But it seems he’d stored the trophy in an old box since then and only rediscovered it eleven years later, in 2020.
The singer went on to devalue the trophy calling it cheap. “Welcome to a country where we have wood and gold but the trophies are in Karabot”.
The Canal D’Or Awards was created back in 2004 and quickly became the most prestigious entertainment award ceremony in Cameroon which rewards and celebrates entertainers who contribute to the growth of social culture in the country. It is hosted by a television network, Canal 2 International.

Bona‘s rather questionable act comes only five days after the icon got rid of his signature dreadlugs. In an Instagram post on May 19, the singer and performer showed his shaved dreads in a picture which carried the caption, “Next Chapter…May 19 at 2am I’m getting back on the beast.”
In another post, he explained that, “Before dreads, I was always shaved. Nothing new. The only difference is that I have all my white hair. Love it.”
