A social media user has questioned Mr. Eazi’s decision to organize a concert in Accra during a period when there’s a growing call among some Ghanaians for limiting foreign music.
This issue surfaced after the artist shared updates on the preparations at the location for his ‘Detty Rave’ concert, set for December 27, 2023. ‘Detty Rave’ is an annual event hosted by Mr. Eazi in Accra, Ghana, since 2017.
Despite this, a skeptical netizen is questioning the rationale behind the Nigerian singer’s plan to hold a concert in Ghana, especially at a time when there are voices advocating for a reduction in foreign music.
“Accra wen want ban 9ja music na im u dey go do show,” the netizen quizzed.
Mr. Eazi furiously attacked the social media user in return, questioning if he had any evidence to support his claims.
Mr. Eazi asked if he had seen any legislation to that effect or heard the president make any pronouncement about it, characterizing the netizen as naive and uninformed.
“Olodo so you see am for presidential declaration abi the law pass for parliament?! Next time use your brain small!” Mr. Eazi responded.
Nigerians refuse to support Ghanaian musicians Black Sherif and others
There are reports that a segment of Nigerians is actively avoiding Black Sherif, who holds considerable popularity in Nigeria and boasts a substantial fan base, even surpassing some local artists.
This development follows the circulation of a video wherein certain musicians were seen advocating for the promotion of Ghanaian music during the festive season.
Black Sherif, in particular, has since been singled out and subjected to intense backlashes from Nigerians.
Background
A group of Ghanaian artistes, including Samini, Reggie Rockstone, Smallgod, DJ Mensah, and Black Sherif, have been vocal about promoting 100% Ghanaian music this December.
Their advocacy aims to highlight the richness and diversity of the local music scene during the festive season.
Notably, there has been no mention of banning foreign music, specifically Nigerian tracks as perceived.
