Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Legendary music producer and sound engineer, Da Hammer has slammed Ghana media for ignoring US-based Ghanaian music producer, Nana Benyin aka Nabeyin despite being nominated at the 64th Grammys.
In a long write-up on his Instagram page, Da Hammer registered his displeasure over the way Ghanaians have completely pretended Reggae musician, Rocky Dawuni is the only artiste from Ghana who was nominated in the Grammys this year.
Da Hammer pointed to the fact that Nabeyin worked on Kanye West’s ‘Donda’ album and also produced songs for other American stars but the media failed to throw light on his achievements.
Sharing a photo of Rocky Dawuni and Nana Benyin posed together at the Grammys on his IG page, he wrote;
“Are we just gonna pretend Rocky was the only Ghanaian nominee at the Grammy’s?
Are we gonna act like Nana Benyin aka Nabeyin wasn’t nominated for a Grammy for the 2nd time this year as well?
Are we gonna pretend a Ghanaian producer wasn’t on the iconic Donda album by Kanye West?
Can’t find a single blog or Ghanaian website headlining Nabeyin’s involvement in the Grammys and that’s a shame… especially when that’s exactly the kind of story our young artists and producers need to be reading for inspiration… for them to know that it’s actually possible, that u can come from humble beginnings and end up on a Kanye West album as a major contributor.
That you can end up in the same room with the greatest who ever did it, on music’s biggest night.
I know bloggers naturally post deeds of already famous ppl to attract readers to their websites but surely it must be your civic duty to inform us about Ghana related issues that are oblivious to us as well… issues that can uplift a lot of our ppl with inferiority complex and low self esteem.
Just because Nabeyin isn’t a loud mouth doesn’t mean his achievements should be overlooked. Otherwise what’s the point of a blog, really.
Nabeyin is out there putting in work with Credits ranging from Kanye West, Drake, Nas, The Game, Miguel, Reason, Dave East, Nav, Boogie, G Perico etc… while our boys are here thinking these artist are out of reach.
let’s claim our own and use him to inspire our young ones pls.
Ghana bloggers please the young boy in konongo needs to read about this… as well as the youth in Nabeyin’s hometown of Apam.
the defense rests
