Prolific songwriter and rapper, l Okyeame Kwame has expressed his displeasure with entertainment commentators for their comments on the BBC Hiplife Rewind Documentary.
The “Rap Dacta” claimed that no one should have a say on the BBC Hiplife documentary because they opted to sit down and let someone from somewhere else come and produce the program during an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz.
“If someone else who has their interest, and has proven over and over again that they are best friends with us, is doing something they want to do, how dare we criticize the way they should have done it.” he said.
“I have no qualms with someone organizing a documentary and not mentioning me, my legacy is not attached to what BBC is doing, and my legacy is attached to the way I behave today.
“I mean what stops me from taking my 4G iPhone and getting a 200-dollar cordless mic, calling all my friends and shooting a story, and giving it to my editor to edit it in my favour.”
The ‘Woso’ rapper also gave some advice to Ghanaians saying they should stop expecting others to come to Ghana to tell the Ghanaian story, rather they should tell their own story.
“We need to stop expecting things from other people, it’s the same way African mentality, that’s why we have Ghanaian stories being told from the Hollywood perspective,” he said.
