GHANAIANS IN THE DIASPORA ARE NOT SUPPORTING US – Fameye

Nkonkonsa.com August 29, 2023

Ghanaian artist Fameye has shed light on the challenges encountered by local musicians within the Ghanaian music industry, with a specific focus on the issue of poor attendance at international events.

During an open conversation with Berla Mundi on TV3, Fameye disclosed that many Ghanaian artists are compelled to cancel their performances due to a lack of interest from the Ghanaian diaspora community.

He drew a comparison between this situation and the experiences of Nigerian artist Wizkid, placing blame on the international Ghanaian community for not rallying behind artists during their overseas gigs.

“Why do Ghanaian artists keep cancelling their shows? They don’t come. If Wizkid holds a show, even if the show is four months away, it will be sold out. I’ve witnessed it, in New York, and I don’t want to mention names. Big, big names from here. Just last year, they had a concert in a small place. Not even ten people showed up. If I mentioned names, you would be surprised.” he disclosed.

Fameye even cited his recent concert in the UK, where the audience turnout fell short of expectations. He expressed a longing for the past, when Nigerian artists collaborated with Ghanaian counterparts due to robust support from the Ghanaian community.

“I had my show in the UK, like, last week. I was expecting a lot of people. It was only a few who came. Our people are not supporting us. It feels intentional because it wasn’t like that before. There was support then; that was why Nigerians were featuring Ghanaian artists at that time.

“Burna Boy was featuring Shatta, Flavour was featuring Sarkodie because they knew the support was there, but right now we are the ones chasing them to feature them,” he said.

This revelation has sparked discussions about the factors contributing to the decline in local support for Ghanaian artists.
