‘My Corolla Is Dead’ Reggie Rockstone, After Devastating Accra Floods

Veteran Ghanaian hiplife musician Reggie Rockstone has disclosed that he lost his personal vehicle during the devastating floods that swept through Accra on June 29, 2026, forcing him to temporarily depend on ride-hailing services for his daily transportation.

Speaking in a video shared on Instagram, the self-acclaimed “Godfather of Hiplife” revealed that his Toyota Corolla S was destroyed by the floods and could no longer be used.

“Right now, I have to be taking Ubers; my personal car, a Corolla S, is dead. The floods killed it,” he said.

Rockstone explained that although his family still owns another vehicle, he prefers not to share rides with his wife because of convenience and personal comfort.

“We only have two cars. I could be riding with my wife, but for my own peace of mind, I’d rather not. So I will have to be investing in a lot of Ubers,” he stated.

The musician also disclosed that he intends to contact Shaxi, the ride-hailing company owned by fellow musician Shatta Wale, hoping the company will support him during this period. Rockstone previously served as a brand ambassador for the platform.

“I will reach out to Shaxi because I have advertised for them before, so maybe they will show me some love,” he added.

Rather than dwelling on the loss, Rockstone said he plans to transform the experience into a creative opportunity by producing content around his daily interactions with Uber drivers and exploring everyday life in Accra through those journeys.

Accra Floods Leave Widespread Destruction

The floods followed torrential rains that hit Accra and several other parts of Ghana on Monday, June 29, 2026. Approximately 140 millimetres of rainfall was recorded during the storm, making it one of the most intense single-day rainfall events the capital has experienced in recent years.

The disaster affected thousands of residents across the country, with 89,736 people displaced nationwide. The Greater Accra Region recorded the highest number of affected persons, accounting for 54,712 of the total.

Emergency response teams, including the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), the Police Marine Unit, the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and the Ghana Armed Forces, intensified rescue operations across the city.

At Tse Addo Last Stop alone, rescuers evacuated 105 trapped residents, comprising 40 women, 20 men and 45 children.

The Greater Accra Regional Fire Command also rescued more than 400 people during the emergency. In addition, a four-storey building at Tabora No. 6 collapsed as a result of the heavy rains, although all occupants had safely evacuated before the structure came down.

Rockstone’s loss has become one of the many personal stories emerging from the catastrophic floods, which caused widespread destruction to homes, businesses and vehicles across the capital.
