Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Rapper Pope Skinny has started a new journey by moving to the United States due to obstacles in his music career, and has recently disclosed that he is now employed as a truck driver.
During a chat with Nana Romeo on Accra FM on 9 October 2024, Pope Skinny talked about the actualities of a musician’s profession.
Our job doesn’t even come with SSNIT,“ he lamented. “There’s nothing in this country that secures the future of musicians. That’s why you often see creatives in need, asking for financial support, especially in their old age. It’s not because they are irresponsible.”
He urged aspiring artists to think critically about their futures, stating, “If you look at all these factors, you’ll realise it’s wise to leave and contribute to a social security scheme in the West, where the system is more reliable. They will take care of you until you die. If you don’t have a hit song, you will go hungry.”
Pope Skinny expressed his disagreement with the FDA’s ban on celebrities endorsing alcohol, emphasizing the importance of providing creatives with additional opportunities.
“I drive a big truck in America. I cannot do this in Ghana because I would be mocked,“ he added.
