Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian hiplife artiste, TiC, formerly known as Tic Tac, has lamented an attitude by some upcoming artistes in Ghana which he dislikes.
According to him, some new artiste expect him to acknowledge them first when they meet.
“Tuface will see me and shout my name. If he is watching, he will tell you, he will be laughing and say that’s true. But Ghanaian artiste who just sprang will see you, pose and expect you to say hi, and sometimes if you don’t, he may even go out and say you don’t value them.
“I don’t want to mention names because when you do that, it becomes a bit personal. But I am just saying that if you don’t know me, I don’t know you.”
He said this on Citi TV’s Upside Down show.
He also expressed how sad he felt when the organisers of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards did not invite him for the award event.
He pointed out that, he was among the first artistes who performed at the award scheme when it started in 2000.
“You can’t do Ghana Music Awards and not send me an invitation. I am not the King of Ghana music, but I deserve some kind of monumental positioning in this country. If you check the first Ghana Music Awards that was ever held, I was a performer. So history has captured me for Ghana Music Awards.”
He added that when veteran artistes like himself and the likes of Daddy Lumba are invited to such events, it adds more value to it.
“When you are watching big award shows in America, you see certain faces, it is only during such shows that you see such faces, they don’t come out.”
