Amerado Dissatisfied Over Recent Trend on Social Media
Ghanaian rapper, Amerado expressed dissatisfaction with the recent trend on social media where some netizens have compared Ghana’a creative industry with that of the Nigerians and other neighbouring African countries.
In an interview during the Rapperholic2024 concert, the musician noted that Ghanaians should stop comparing the creative arts industry with other countries.
He explained that if Ghanaians fail to be content with what they have, they might lose it to others.
“Comparisons kill the game. It’s about time that we acknowledge our artists who are raising the map of Ghana. Because KiDi, Black Sherif, Sarkodie, Kweku Smoke, and the rest held their shows, and they sold out, so why the comparisons? If we don’t focus on our own and focus on different things at the same time, we end up losing everything.
“We should keep on supporting our music and pray that God will give us more talent so when those holding the music industry are no more, the upcoming ones can hold on to it. Let’s stop Nigeria and Ghana comparison and maintain our own, and we won’t lose anything.”
Amerado
When asked what his fans should expect from him in 2025, Amerado noted that he hopes for the year 2025 to become a year of greatness for him and his fans.
