Artiste Manager, Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson known popularly as Bullgod thinks the high cost of data is the reason why music streaming is not as popular in Ghana.
In addition to the high cost of data, he claims Ghana has some of the worst internet in the world, making it impossible for fans of music to even stream music online.
Bullgod shared this while appearing on TV3, a station based in Accra.
“Nobody is sitting in Tarkwa or wherever where the network is even bad there will stream your music. Look we are in Accra and you know Accra is the hub and everybody make wild dey go find something. How many people will be streaming music?
But out there, let’s say in the other regions if they are relaxing and they want to stream music the thing will not even stream and you’ll see nor kpa your 10 cedis worth of data is gone. Who will try that thing?
Let’s talk about the matters and these are facts. Check your streams and you’ll know all is from outside. If you check, the reason why we don’t stream our music is because data is expensive. If the artistes are genuine with their analytics, they will tell you that most of their streams are from outside. Ghanaians living in the diaspora,” he said.
