THERE IS SELFISHNESS IN THE GHANAIAN ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY – D-Black Laments

“Selfish! That’s really how our industry is. Like, nobody wants to share wealth because, in this entertainment space, the revenue streams are very limited.

“There are so many artistes that I know if they got a call from a big corporation that wants to come to do a show in Ghana and if the company tells them, ‘I want you, but I want you to bring some other people, recommend some other people’ They would take only their money and that will be the end of it,” he said.

In contrast, he discussed how he ensures success by bringing in artists who can make a fantastic show.

He bemoaned the fact that a lot of creatives prefer to work alone instead than in teams.

“I’ll do it very differently. I’ll call the people that I think will pop off and make the show a success and make sure that everything runs smoothly.

“But not everybody’s built like that. A lot of people feel like they can do it on their own, too. A lot of people feel like they don’t need any help. But that’s why we’re here,” he said.

D-Black’s comments come on the back of calls for collaboration and support among Ghanaian acts to foster a more inclusive and thriving entertainment scene.
