UK-based Ghanaian highlife musician, Nana Quame has said some Ghanaian musicians are poor to the extent that they cannot even afford a three square meal daily.
According to him, some entertainers are struggling to make ends meet due the poor system being put in place.
“I was supposed to be one of the richest musicians in this country but our structures are poor in Ghana, entertainers are dying like dogs. It’s the truth. Some musicians can’t even afford three square meals a day,” he told Nii Arday Clegg Snr on the Morning Starr on Starr FM.
The ‘Atia Donko’ hitmaker believes the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) and Ghana Music Right Organization (GHAMRO) has failed to protect the interest of it members-and also ensure the growth of the music industry in Ghana.
“I was paid just GH¢400 as my royalty for seven years. We talk too much as a people. We hate the truth and you’re blacklisted for telling the truth as a musician. If you do not make hit songs, no one will invite you for shows. I don’t know how things are going to change with regards to the art industry, to me, MUSIGA should be privatised; things will work better if we do,” he stated.
