Ghanaian rapper and singer, Desmond Kwesi Blackmore, Popularly known as D-Black, has explained that business acumen is the reason Nigerian artists are more successful than their Ghanaian counterparts.
The Hip-Hop artiste said Nigerian artists are business-driven whereas their Ghanaian ones make music just for the love of the art.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Afrobeats Podcast, D-Black said, “Why Nigerian records are flying higher than the Ghanaian ones is because Ghanaian artists don’t really care about the money. They don’t care about the business. It’s just the love of art which overpowered everything. There’s really no business behind it.
