According to him, Ghanaian artistes and Ghanaians as a whole need maximum amount of education on the things of music industry so as to be abreast with the latest moves in the industry.

His comment comes after he received several backlashes and social media trolls from netizens for claiming to have written and produced songs for a number of his fellow musicians. The ‘Open Gate’ singer divulged that Ghanaians are yet to understand the fact that there is nothing wrong with a musician working on a song for a colleague.
