The rapper speaking with Firestick in an interview claimed that the individuals who make up Ghana’s media landscape have no moral standing to judge Ghanaian musicians or give them advice about how to manage their music brands
Sarkodie added that because they are unaware of the nature of musicians’ careers as entertainers, it is quite simple for Ghanaian media figures and entertainment experts to condemn them harshly.
