According to the “Koko” singer in an interview with Showbiz, albums don’t sell and the money from shows are peanuts so artists make money from different deals.
“Music is just a means to an end. You cannot leave a legacy through music. It is actually the businesses you use your music for. How much can you sell an album or a song in Ghana? Any artiste who says he made a fortune only through music is a liar,” he said.
Surprisingly he also revealed that not even Sarkodie, Stonebwoy or Shatta Wale are making money from shows.
“Forget about the shows because I have mounted every show in Ghana and they don’t pay that much. The money we get from shows are peanuts; it only lasts for a month or two”, he divulged.
“No artist in Ghana can tell me he built a house or made a big fortune with an album or a particular song. I challenge any musician to come and contest me. It is how you direct your music into other businesses,” he added.
