“Nigerian music is so overrated. Too much use of
It is autotuned and nothing Authentic. Listen to Sauti
Sol, zero auto-tune. Just natural creativity”

“Ghana and Nigeria have been the first
the international stage for artists of these respective
countries. We are closer than the maps and
boarders make it look”

“Pere? In 2012. That is not a flex. I'm glad Afrobeats
is finally getting the ticket price it deserves
because 80k is not it”.

“B4 u talk, just know $300,000 was no money in
Ghana during that moment because of the low
inflation so it was easy to pay them.. but as at
now, it gon b a problem... Ghana is now expensive
as helll!!!!”.

“There's just something in Ghana that clicks so
well for almost all the Nigerian top artists. They
mostly come straight to Ghana for shows before
the rest of the world. No wonder they love Ghana
(2) Banter aside we are siblings”.
