Ironically, the post which was meant to elevate female artistes and make them more conspicuous in the mainstream instead of playing second fiddle to their male counterparts despite their quality- aimed a shot at Barony for not sustaining the hype she gave her a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her post punched holes in the voting system that has become the barometer for determining who wins what at the existing award shows in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her post read; \u201cIn a country where award schemes are organized and don\u2019t \u201cfavor\u201d female musicians, you wonder why some female talents give up in this country called Ghana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
90% of the female musicians I came to meet when coming up in 2015 have all given up, the young ones too after me have started giving up already. Don\u2019t blame them, the politics in this industry, purely witchcraft. Only few are still relevant, I can count five or maybe 6 ladies. One female rapper I helped win her biggest award in her entire music career did media tour and downplayed my effort, the whole industry came supporting her and she forgot what I started, helped put her there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thing is, I wanted to warn her that all those praising her today won\u2019t do that when the hype dies, but since she felt she was there, she enjoyed the hype and acted ungrateful, today I can confidently say she and her music all turn beans, where\u2019s that industry support today? Last year Sefa was everywhere, is the industry saying if she doesn\u2019t buy vote (airtime) she won\u2019t be awarded? Scam. She held a successful concert in HO and myself together with other musicians were there to support the event. Yet they will go ahead and pick someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As if women don\u2019t matter in awards, pathetic Gyakie, this girl def need to pick up something at least from VGMA y\u2019all can\u2019t say you didn\u2019t see her win in every angle. Both locally and internationally. Sometimes fkkk the \u201cvote for your favorite artist by using this short code\u201d and give the award to who deserves it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know sometimes it\u2019s difficult setting up award events, dealing with artists managements and the stress in seeking for sponsorships, after all that stress, you want to make money too cos you don\u2019t want your hustle to be in vain, that\u2019s fine and understandable. However, the thievery shouldn\u2019t be too obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes it happens everywhere but sometimes sit down, assess issues and be brave to award who truly deserves it \ud83d\ude4f\ud83d\ude4f one love \u2764\ufe0f Ghana music has a future. And I must congratulate my dawgment husband Sadiq Abdulai Abu and his able team for what they did at the just ended 3Music Awards\u201922, this will def go down in our history books forever \ud83d\udc51\ud83d\udc51<\/p>\n\n\n\n
