Ghanaian rapper Maradona Yeboah Adjei, popularly known as Guru, firmly believes that Ghanaian musicians have the potential to achieve the same level of success as their Nigerian counterparts if they receive the necessary support.
He emphasized that with adequate backing, Ghanaian musicians can also attain international acclaim. Guru suggested that a government investment of just $20 million as initial funding for such a project could make a significant difference in their progress.
“You just budget for 20 million for twenty artistes, give them one year and after come back for auditing for them to proof how the money was used”, Guru told Ike de Unpredictable on Angel FM.
“You just try for once. When you go for a loan of 200 million just take 10 million out of it and see what they can do”, he emphasized.
Guru went on to express that with a budget of that magnitude, he could collaborate with some of the world’s most renowned musicians, including stars like Drake and Kanye West, showcasing the immense potential of Ghanaian talent on a global scale
The “Enye Nwanwa” hitmaker disclosed that, while musicians like himself in Ghana struggle to promote their songs with the little budget they have, others in the neighbouring countries are given millions of dollars to promote theirs.
