Ghana meet Naija

Okyeame Kwame is undoubtedly one of Ghana’s living music legends. He has paid his dues in the industry which has seen him gathered the fame, accolades and continuous strength to excel. He is a musician per excellence, thus, his views counts when matters dear to the industry are triggered.

Recently he was asked the question of, “what are Ghanaian musicians doing about Nigerian music since it is taking over the music industry?”

The Rap Doctor faced the matter squarely. He minced no words to the baring facts on the ground; he didn’t give an answer that is most appropriate for PR.

He opted for the truth, at least in his opinion, he reminded Ghanaians that after all, twenty years ago Nana Ampadu, Amakye Dede, Abrekyireba Kofi Sammy and many Hi-Life acts were the main stream artistes in Nigeria, so if the reverse is happening, why dem for bore?
