Ghanaian musician, Peter Famiyeh Bozah, popularly known as Fameye has made claims that his craft is not for TikTok as many are asking why his songs do not make trends on the app.
There has been an ongoing discussions on the impact of TikTok on the Ghanaian music industry, as last weekend on UTV’s ‘UNITED SHOWBIZ’ show, popular TikTok star, Asantewaa said:
“That’s why I say that now it doesn’t matter how long you have played your music game. when you drop a song now it is not about your craft unless you bring it to us, if not you will have to sing your song alone,” she said and Kesse added, “we are the board of directors, you have to bring it to us”.
Refuting Asantewaa’s statements, the PRAISE hit maker revealed that the music craft is a much more serious business than following trends.
“My music is not for TikTok and TikTok is not the main platform that makes my music go big. Music is bigger than TikTok, loud music doesn’t automatically make a song good,” he said.
“Because a song went viral on TikTok doesn’t mean the artist is extremely good. Too much power has been vested in these TikTokers for them to be passing these kinds of comments. The comments were distasteful, and I wasn’t pleased to hear them. Unless she was playing and said it as a joke in the heat of the moment,” he added.
Responding in an interview with Zion Felix on whether he has ever paid any Tiktok influencer to promote his song, he said, “I do my personal videos and share them on social media. That’s how I’ve been promoting my songs since 2019. I don’t create TikTok challenges for my songs, I don’t dance to promote my songs. If you don’t hear my songs on TikTok, doesn’t mean they are not a hit on the streets. I have never paid any TikToker to deliberately promote and make my song a hit. I have however sent the monetary value of thanksgiving to some TikTokers who used my songs in the videos voluntarily.
